Within Our Friendship // Cynonari // Genshin Impact

11: Wintertime

(🌝)

Tighnari was lying in his bed. His new lover, Cyno, was lying behind him, arms around the fox.

He really stuck up to being the clingy boyfriend. Tighnari would think. The General was asleep, supposedly.

After a tired sigh, Tighnari rolled over to face Cyno. He thought that the other looked kinda cute when sleeping. A smile appeared, and Tighnari would caress Cyno's cheek.

The fox would hug the other close. It felt so warm, and comfortable. Tighnari ran his fingers through Cyno's pure white hair.

Just then, the General would wake up. He opened his eyes with a short grumble. "..Morning Nari.."

"Good morning." Tighnari said. "It's time to get up, now."

"Why can't we stay cuddling?" Cyno whined, tightening his arms around Tighnari.

"My stomach is telling me to eat breakfast." Tighnari scoffed with a small laugh. "Come on, get up. Don't you also have your Matra work?"

"Ughh.."

Tighnari sat up. He contently smiled at Cyno, who rested an arm over his eyes, then stood up. His tail gently wagged as he exited the room.

It seemed that it was good timing. Collei was leaving her room at the same time.

"Morning, Collei." Tighnari said.

Collei went up to him, taking in his coconut scent that was mixed up with a sandy smell. "You guys cuuuddled!"

"Right.." Tighnari awkwardly smiled. "I'm going to make some breakfast."

"I can't believe I returned to the house just in time to see your relationship finally becoming real! I ship it!" Collei bounced up and down, unable to keep her excitement to a minimum.

"Number 35 of one saying 'I ship it'." Tighnari sarcastically said. "Do you even know how to relax?"

"What's relax?" Collei questioned.

"Oh my god." Tighnari pinched his nose.

"Is your boyfriend still sleeping? Should I go wake him up?" Collei pointed at Tighnari's room.

Before an answer, the two opened. Out, came walking a sleepy Cyno. His hair was all messy, holding his helmet under his arm.

"Jesus, you look horrible." Collei said.

"This is what I look like after a good night in." Cyno stroked his hair. "I woke up to Tighnari hugging me."

Collei squealed, holding a hand to her mouth.

"Okay, you didn't have to say it out loud." Tighnari felt awkward.

"It's Collei, what did you except?" Cyno put his helmet on the table. "She even interrupted us in the middle of our blooming love."

"Hehe." Collei only laughed.

At Puspa Cafe..

It was pretty quiet in the cafe. Not a lot of people besides two well known characters and the owner of the place.

"Slept? Slept, with him?" Kaveh emphasized the word slept. He was signaling with his hands, looking as if he would determining the size of something. There were blueprints with a bunch of planned out designs on them, in which Kaveh's elbows were resting on.

"Yeah?" Tighnari tilted his head in utter confusion.

"No, but like.. slept, with him?" Kaveh repeated it again.
