Work Text:
ganyu is a hard worker.
this type of work ethic would be very much respected in any work space, but in the case of the qixings secretary, its just down right pitiful. working overtime is normal for her, in the scenario of the most arduous of workloads being given to her, she accepts them despite the hesitation in her eyes, and even if its so evident shes exhausted, she refuses to take a break. it is only a sight that could only worsen sore eyes so keqing takes matters into her own hands.
but when keqing had offered her hand to ganyu, telling her that her work could be covered by one of the other secretaries or maybe all of them, the yuheng is only met with a shake of ganyus head and a mumbled apology.
she had only offered to help ganyu relax a bit, even for just a day, by taking her to the harbor or just accompanying her while she naps on the grass of juyuen karst, anything will suffice as long as ganyu takes a break but she had looked so shocked by this invitation... keqing was getting too worried, cause she cares about her, alot because--- shes her co-worker of course.
so true to their character, keqing continues to insist and the blue haired lady could only be obviously very panicked by the offer.
a break would've made any office worker smile, but keqing wonders why ganyu acts like the world is gonna end if she takes a short leave?
but keqing still beckoned her anyway and it ended with her pulling ganyu out of her office, protests were thrown against the yuheng in an effort to stop her as she practically drags ganyu out of the jade palace to take her wherever she could, cause that part of the plan wasn't really thought out, but still, she really just wanted ganyu to take a break.
slowly, ganyus protests had died down, mostly because they got closer to the harbor and she wouldn't really want to make a scene to onlookers..but she had started accepting her fate of taking a break.
keqing doesn't make any comment, she should've been compliant in the first place! keqings steps continue to pull her around until they come to a stop.
ganyu looks over to the direction keqing was looking at, which was the flower beds in yunjing terrace, rows of silk flowers and glaze lilies cover the green hue of the grass. ganyu mellows up a bit, knowing that she shows alot of care and attention for these flowers, did keqing know about this? if she did—— oh ganyu cant stop her heart from beating a bit faster.
ganyu crouches down and takes this time to quietly scan over the conditions of the flowers, a curve of her lips threaten to show when the blue haired qilin beams at the thought that the flowers have been taken care of recently, noting how the silk flowers have been watered and the glaze lilies smell wonderful as ever, all the while, keqing quietly observes her expressions as she smiles, internally patting herself on her back for bringing ganyu here and having the priviledge of seeing her show such positive reactions.
in more of an effort to see her smile, keqing crouches down and smoothly picks up a glaze lily, offering it to ganyu, and if she were even a bit bolder, she wouldve put it in her hair, but, she saves that gesture sometime soon because it'd be a bit troublesome if the secretary fainted from the embarrassment and attention.
ganyu gives her a soft smile, and gently accepts the unexpected present, bringing it up to her nose and wafting up the scent of the flower. keqing thinks its an absolutely adorable sight.
but as much as she'd like to stay here for a while, admiring ganyus cute gestures, time shouldnt be wasted.
so keqing stands up, looking down at ganyu with a soft expression on her face as she sticks out her hand to offer it to the blue haired woman.
ganyu smiles at the gesture, locking her own hand with keqings and pulling her up; though once ganyu stands up, the yuheng doesnt let go of her hand, choosing instead to eagerly tug ganyu along, talking about how she wants to show ganyu the adorable dogs that wander around near chihu rock with an excited smile on her face.
the blush on ganyus cheeks redden, heart beating erratically and all, to the thought that keqing really took time off work just to accompany her.
ganyu just couldnt be more glad, that she accepted her offer to take a break, not just because she gets to relax for a day but also because she gets to spend that time with keqing.
because even though many people say they're truly opposites, ganyu cant help the blooming feeling inside her heart, and seemingly, the feelings inside keqings have long florished.
