You felt your phone buzz with multiple notifications from Twitter, telling you that thousands of people in the city were retweeting. You didn't even know any of them.

You were popular, just not in the way anyone would want. People pity you and give you the attention they THINK you deserve just because your dad was Morax, the leader of Sumeru's big 7 hero's.

Now they're gone.

"Y/N!"

You snapped back to reality to look at your aunt, Ningguang. Right, it was a family reunion held every year on the day of your fathers...disappearance? Death? You didn't even know.

You hated this day more than anything, but you also hated these family reunions more than anything. Really, the only person you liked was your cousin. They came all the from Liyue- probably only just for your aunt to lecture you.

"Are you even listening to me?"

"Sorry." You murmured, walking around the table to get a drink of water. "What were you saying again?"

Your aunt just scoffed, shaking her head before walking out of the room. "I'll be right back."

You didn't respond to that, instead filling your glass with water, making her even more annoyed.

"Just ignore her." A voice spoke, and you turned to see your cousin, Hu Tao, sitting on the kitchen counter, swinging her legs.

"What's up with her today?" You asked, turning to face her.

Hu Tao shrugged. "It's been a full 2 years. I think she hasn't gotten over it yet.

You frowned and turned to look at Ningguang who was standing in a corner with Beidou. "Her and I both." You murmured under your breath.

"How's she doing?"

You slowed your breathing to listen in to the conversation between your aunt and her wife.

"Well, you know how she is." Ningguang said in response to Beidou. "She's immature."

The two women went quiet when they felt eyes on them, and turned their heads to see you, glaring right at them.

Beidou awkwardly chuckled, trying to break the tension. "Sweetie, how are you?"

"Immature." You said, no emotion on your face as you continued to glare.

Ningguang just shook her head, walking back into the center of the kitchen as she sat at the dining table. "Y/N, we've been meaning to ask; How are you with keeping the house and looking after Xiao?"

Xiao immediately stopped eating his bagel as he froze, looking right at Ningguang who sat across from him, but she was looking right at you.

"We're fine." You spat.
