Work Text:
Keqing loved Ganyu with all her heart, but for the love of Morax this girl needed a break.
Keqing knew something was wrong when Ganyu was giving her a report on the recent spread of new hilichurl camps.
Ganyu knocked on the door to her office only two times instead of her usual three. When Keqing let her in she practically staggered into the room. The blue haired girl had an unusually pale complexion, even for her. Most of all the bags under her eyes were more noticeable.
“Ah, Keqing! i brought over the reports i just want you to look over them before i submit them-*cough*”
This would’ve been an easy task for the Yuheng to complete, if not for the papers being blank.
“Ganyu... are you sure these are the right papers?”
The adeptus girl stared for a moment. seemingly not understanding the words spoken to her.
“Ganyu?”
She broke out of her trance “Oh- *cough* yea sorry I will bring you- *cough* the right reports-*cough*”
“hold on”
Keqing grabbed the secretary’s wrist. The usually cold hands of the adeptus were almost hot to the touch.
The Yuheng’s eyes widened and she pulled the girl closer. Touching her hand to the other’s forehead, she dragged the adeptus down to the couch in her office.
“Ganyu why didn’t you tell me you were sick!”
“W-what-*cough* what are you talking about?”
“You clearly got a high fever, you can’t be working like this!”
Keqing sat down next to her and put her hand on the other’s back. Ganyu leaned into the touch, easily relaxing as she leaned her weight onto the Yuheng’s side.
“Ganyu how long have you been sick?”
The adeptus hesitated for a moment, closing her eyes and speaking softly,
“I’ve only started feeling bad this morning, i didn’t think it would get any worse”
Keqing sighed. It wasn’t unusual for Ganyu to neglect her own health. She wished that her girlfriend would put herself first one of these days.
The purple girl then slowly stood and gently laid the other down on the couch, earning a little whine in protest as the adeptus’ head rested on one of the decorative pillows.
“i’m going to get you some blankets ok? you better not move you hear?”
Ganyu only grunted as she buried her face in the pillow.
Walking down the hall Keqing already made plans to go to the pharmacy to get some medicine for her sick girlfriend. Adeptus or not a fever is not something that’s pleasant to bear. Ganyu seemed to have a pretty bad cough, so some throat medicine and cooling packs should be first on her list.
First things first though, she needed to pass on Ganyu’s work. She knew the adeptus took on more than most people could reasonably handle, this was most likely the reason for her illness.
An assistant walked up to Keqing
“Miss Keqing, do you know where Miss Ganyu might be? She was supposed to hand in some reports a little while ago”
“Miss Ganyu has been given a day off, I need you to give her work to the rest of the staff”
The assistant looked shocked for a moment
“I will also need you to go to Bubu pharmacy and get some throat medicine and some cryo slime gel”
“y-yes Miss Keqing”
the assistant headed off with a hurry leaving Keqing to find the blankets. They weren’t hard to find, they were stored in a nearby storage room for the employees when they had to stay the night at the office.
When Keqing got back to her office, it looked cleaner than when she left it. Which was a big problem.
She looked around the room to see the culprit organizing papers of her desk.
“ ahem ”
Ganyu dropped the papers, startled at Keqing’s silent entrance.
“O-oh Keqing- *cough* I didn’t hear you enter”
The purple girl dragged the other back to the couch.
Keqing let out a sigh
“Ganyu can you please not work for two minutes”
“I’m sorry! I just- I wanted to-“
She spoke in hushed tones, most likely to avoid coughing
“Ganyu look at me”
She looked up, expecting a glare. To her surprise all she found was a look of concern.
“Please. Ganyu I care about you so much , just for today, please rest”
“ B-but I have so much to do I-“
“I’ve already taken care of it so please, rest”
The adeptus started to relax as Keqing sat down beside her. The purple girl the rested the other’s head on her lap and started to stroke the other’s horns. It was a trick that she learned would help the other sleep.
“I love you Ganyu”
“I love you too...”
She then felt the other relax her muscles as sleep overcame the sick adeptus. Keqing still has a lot of paperwork to do, but that can wait. Her girlfriend was more important to her.
