Chapter Text
Ganyu was sure that going to the park with Seira should have been a peaceful event.
It should have been just something peaceful to do.
Instead, it caused Seira to learn that people were mean and evil.
Ganyu bit back an angry growl as she watched over Seira as the little girl was finally peacefully sleeping. Damn it! Ganyu thought as she bit her lip, trying to keep herself calm.
She was going to lose control at this rate and Seira didn’t need to wake up to that. She didn’t need anything more on her plate.
Ganyu winced as she had finally bit into her lip, causing blood to drop down her chin. Shit! She thought as she wiped her mouth. She knew that her eyes were glistening as her tongue flickered out. She knew that she needed to calm down but she also knew that she wanted Keqing to help calm her down. Keqing, my darling sweet wife, please don’t be too frightened when you get home. Ganyu mentally begged the woman as she allowed herself to completely give into her anger as she softly growled, understanding that her daughter was still sleeping.
Ganyu knew that the innocent baby was to not be awoken by her anger and she knew that she wouldn’t want innocent little Seira looking at her mother when she was completely taken over by her rage. She knew that Seira didn’t deserve to look at the vileness that was her mother’s rage.
Ganyu softly growled as she nuzzled Seira with her cheek. “Sweet, innocent baby.” Ganyu muttered as she stared down at Seira softly.
What happened for Ganyu to get to this point of rage?
Well, the story had started when Ganyu was getting Seira ready to go to the park.
~~
“Mommy, mommy.” Seira was happily chatting with her mother, as she always does.
“Yes, my little kitten.” Ganyu spoke as her gentle gaze remained on Seira.
“Can we go to the park today? I have finished my homework.” Seira promised as if afraid her mother was going to tell her that she was lying.
“I know my dear and as a reward, we will go to the park. Go put on running shoes.” Ganyu tells Seira, whose eyes marveled at her mother’s words.
“Yay!” She happily cheered as she went to go put on some shoes that she could run in.
Once Seira was ready to head to the park, Ganyu made sure that she had packed snacks and drinks for the both of them.
“Are you ready, Seira?” Once Ganyu was ready, she called for Seira, who obediently was in front of her mother.
“I am ready, Mommy.” She grinned such a happy grin and Ganyu never wanted that grin to fall from Seira’s lips. My little kitten is so adorable. Ganyu thought as she was proud of Seira. The girl was opening up to her peers and Ganyu knew that it was scary to talk to other people. “Thank you for taking me to the park.” Seira thanked Ganyu before they had even left the house and it made Ganyu happy that Seira wanted to thank her in advance.
“You deserve it for being such a lovely daughter.” Ganyu spoke and Seira was happy at Ganyu’s words, glad that she was such a lovely daughter for both Ganyu and Keqing. Seira wanted to continue being a perfect daughter for Ganyu and Keqing, not knowing that her mothers didn’t care about her being perfect; they just wanted her to be happy with them.
“I want to be perfect.” Seira spoke and Ganyu smiled down at Seira as she patted the girl’s head.
“Don’t worry about being perfect, little one.” Ganyu immediately told Seira to not strive for perfection. “You’re wonderful just the way you are.” Ganyu promised the girl and Ganyu’s words made Seira smile a wide smile. “Now, let’s go to the park.” Ganyu spoke and yet, that made Seira realize something.
“But, Mommy’s perfect.” Ganyu paused at Seira’s words as her brain couldn’t process Seira’s definition of perfect. According to the textbook definition, perfect doesn’t describe me at all. I’m heavily flawed. Ganyu thought. Of course, she would never voice that to Seira because it meant answering questions. Ganyu also ran the risk of upsetting Seira by breaking her belief of her mother being perfect. She does not need me ruining how she feels about me. The woman thought as she smiled sadly as she remained turned away from Seira, her heart beating fast. Damn it, little one. You know how to make me happy. Ganyu thought as she grinned as she turned to Seira.
“Thank you, Seira.” Ganyu’s smile increased Seira’s happiness. We adopted a ray of sunshine. Ganyu was happy because she had two rays of sunshine now. No wonder Keqing and Seira get along so well. She thought as she was amused at the thought.
Once the two were finally ready to leave the house, Ganyu made sure that Seira stayed with her by lifting the girl into her arms. “Mommy.” Seira giggled as she hugged Ganyu as best as she could.
Ganyu was happy to have Seira in her arms. She’s so tiny. She was smiling very widely. I forget how tiny she is. She thought as she made sure that Seira was comfortable in her arms.
“You’re so tiny.” Ganyu softly coos at Seira.
“You’re just tall.” Seira spoke with a small smile on her face. Ganyu chuckled.
“I can literally put you in my pocket, Seira.” Ganyu tells Seira.
“You’re just tall.” Seira still argued with that aspect of Ganyu’s physical being, causing Ganyu to raise one of her eyebrows. She doesn’t understand that me being tall doesn’t match with how small she is. She thought as she enjoyed Seira being so tiny.
Ganyu then frowned. Wait a minute, she won’t be this tiny when she’s a teenager. She would still be tiny but not pocket-sized. Ganyu thought. “You’re overthinking, Mommy.” Seira commented and Ganyu blinked, hating but also loving that Seira could read her so easily.
“Mommy is just happy that you are in me and Keqing’s lives.” Ganyu spoke, knowing that she was being honest with Seira.
“I love being with Mommy and Mama.” Seira grinned and Ganyu’s heart continue to grow softer at how happy Seira was with them.
This girl stole our hearts and I don’t think she realized how much we’re so taken with her.
Ganyu thought with a gentle gaze in her eyes.
