"So... do you think she noticed us?" Keqing asked, sounding a bit nervous and... excited.
"Duh, why do you think she is purposely looking away?" I replied as I looked at the menu the waitress offered us.
It was late evening at the Liuli Pavilion, and Keqing had invited me with the excuse of a pleasant date. The truth is, of course, that we were just poking at the very entity that represented her chance to measure herself against the old system. And the very individual that had been caught off-guard with our recent 'implied but not confirmed' alliance.
Lady Ningguang was not exactly a fun opponent to have if you don't know what are her limits and weaknesses. After all, despite sounding as powerful and mighty within the law-making world, the truth is that her position presented some boundaries she couldn't and she wouldn't cross. All for good reasons, obviously, but no one ever said she wouldn't make exceptions if needed. [Like when it comes to 'poke fun' at some of the lesser merchants for worshiping her like some sort of political waifu selling her 'used books' as if these were some Vtuber's pee-stained panties.]
Right now, we were spying on the clever lady, keeping away and... Keqing ruining it by being a bit of a lesbian at the moment. Not that it was wrong, but her Tsundere factor sure picked up around women more than it did around men. I didn't need to be a math genius to know the plum-haired girl was afflicted by a deep case of the big gay, diluted with a slice of bisexualism.
So yeah, today I am taking a bit of a break from work for the sake of having some fun. Nahida was already sleeping at this point and the company's work for the day ended a bit earlier than usual. [Let's give them workers a bit of mercy now before they someone becomes female waifu Karl Marx. I can already hear the Ear Rape USSR Anthem ringing near my soul.]
"Still-"
"I think she is noticing the ogling, my dear friend," I interrupted flatly, causing the 'fake cat-girl' to tense up at the indirect jab.
"I-I don't like women."
Aw, she's shy and frightened of being rejected for that. Worry not, this monkey is a deep and understanding being.
"I wouldn't complain if you did. Still, there's nothing wrong to also admit your opponent has style. Peculiar style at that even for Liyuan standards," I remarked, drawing her attention on the topic as Keqing frowned at this comment.
"What do you mean with that?" Keqing hummed, sounding incredibly curious. "She is the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing. She has to carry herself with formal style all the time."
"Not in this occasion- after all, her clothes are a bit different than the usual."
Keqing paused, then turned her gaze back to Ningguang and... yep, her cheeks burned red as she had missed that detail as she had been ogling at her enemy's face.
I mean, had circumstances been more favorable, that butt would have been a priority. But there were factors that made that option rather difficult to achieve- such as Ningguang being less interested in genuine relationships with men due to the patriarchal nature of society within Liyue. Yes, women could take over important seats of power, but nothing stopped the issue of the rights that husbands had over their wives.
Plus, Ningguang was someone less interested in men. [In fact, she was less into hot dogs and favored eating some tuna.]
How did I know that? Well, let's just say there's a reason why I told Keqing that today would be a favorable day to spy on the woman.
"I didn't... notice that. Why would she dress like that for a mere dinner?"
"Well, my dear friend, that's because Ningguang is trying to score with someone."
That instantly caught Keqing off-guard as she looked around for clues. "Are you- Are you sure? If Ningguang has someone then- then how come no one ever heard of them?"
"They did, it's just that they were never put together as a potential couple within rumors."
That sheer confusion found a deep clarity when, right as I finished saying that, Ningguang's date arrived and shocked Keqing to the core. Her jaw dropped and I smirked behind the menu I was holding.
"C-Captain Beidou is-"
"Yup."
Captain Beidou of the Crux fleet, slayer of Haishan Leviathan and, from what I could pick up through some careful spying, also the lover of Ningguang [and the one that rocks that nice Rock Booty]. Now, the reason why it took me a while to ultimately be sure of this was how 'quiet' they were about it. Not just through verbal admissions but also through actions. Smart, but there was so much one can hide before some intimacy was unconsciously revealed. And this very circumstance is proof of that.
It took a while to draw them in a situation where they couldn't deny it with all the proof I found and, while others would just chalk it out as two close friends taking some time to enjoy privacy and relax from their difficult jobs, I knew they were just out there to be romantic. And possibly banging after that.
But where I felt I was victorious over this matter, my confidence took a hit when something else I hadn't predicted manifested and pretty much screwed with that revelation for Keqing. And said factor quickly had Keqing's attention and... full-head blush. She didn't say anything, but started to poke at my arm. I ruled it out as her trying to annoy me or something but-
"Lady Keqing, Mr. Bukharin," A voice soon greeted us, soft and feminine enough to warm me out of my distracting study of the intriguing menu. That's a lot of crab-based crap. My eyes shifted and I was greeted by a sight that reasonably explained Keqing's sudden case of mutism. "I am surprised that you two are here too."
Oh Lord, it's happening. It's fucking happening~!
And she was utterly, sweetly, hotly here~!
The Ultimate Waifu! [For Me and no one else, that's an order and a judgment!]
"M-Miss Ganyu, we are surprised too," Keqing recovered quickly. "We did see Lady Tianquan and Captain Beidou but-"
"Oh, it's... it's because we agreed to a night out. Lady Tianquan said that I could enjoy a small break from work," The half-Qilin admitted, sounding a big disappointed. "There's so much to come back after dinner."
I gulped nervously, noticing how I was playing the mute one now.
"L-Lady Ganyu, I heard so much about you. Specifically your incredible dedication to your work."
The girl offered a little smile, taken aback by the compliment. "I-It's not that much, I am just a secretary to the Liyue Qixing."
Oh boy, this is... going to be interesting.
She left shortly after to join Ningguang and Beidou, and the smug grin on the former's face just confirmed a suspicion I had on that development- To dispel any question of them being a couple, these two had invited Ganyu out for dinner to make it look more like a work-related celebration.
Clever girl, I have to give her that, but it sure blindsided me and Keqing in that regard. But where I thought it was just because of this cheeky move to prevent rumors from spreading, I could slowly tell that, from the way Keqing had followed Ganyu's swaying behind as she left to return to their table that... we may have a bit of an issue here. A half-qilin issue at that.
"Keqing... be honest with me. You want that booty too, right?"
The question sent a jolt through her body and she panicked a bit. "I-I don't- I mean, it's lovely but- I want to say that- that I..."
I kept quiet for a moment and let her sort out that mess of feelings, but then she admitted it.
"I like her. I like how determined she is, how cute she is-"
"How nice her butt is?"
"...Yes."
I smiled. "Then I think you and I may have another thing in common."
She gave me a confused look and then... her eyes widened.
"You- You actually-"
"Yup."
"Like, you like her too and-"
"Yep."
"L-Let me finish!" She whispered furiously, sounding absolutely cute about it before slowly calming down. "You like Ganyu to the point of... considering being close to her?"
I nodded. "She is amazing."
"She is," Keqing remarked breathlessly, then sighing at this. "But how do we solve this issue? I mean, I don't want to fight over it."
"...Sharing?"
"H-How would that even work? We are friends, yes but..."
"Not close enough for that," I guessed, getting a nod from her. "How about we... just see how close we can get?"
"Like with a... date?"
"Yep."
She leaned back to think about it. "I mean, we are friends and I trust you. Do you trust me that much or is it because you want to be with Ganyu?"
"Is it an exclusive thing? I mean, you want that too but you trust me, so why can't I just want both?"
Her lips twitched. "I am not as pretty. Or as confident as she can be."
"That's highly debatable," I rebuked flatly, causing her to look surprised. "And remove that look from your face- you are a hard-worker, Keqing. Anyone with enough brain can see that. And you're quite beautiful yourself if I have to be outright blunt about it."
"Liar," She mumbled and yet my smile persisted. "I... I will trust you on this too."
"And I will make sure that this trust isn't abused. I am a tender lover, not someone that hurts people."
She slowly nodded at this. "When?"
"You pick, and I pick the place so that no one can catch us on our date."
Keqing paused a moment as our food arrived and she quietly took a bite from her fish-based meal.
"I will look at my schedule. Can we wait on it?"
"I will not push it. But we both have some urgency, just a bit about it."
More nodding, and we went to our food, unaware that Ningguang had been spying on us back after Ganyu had left our table, intrigued by what sort of conversation was shared to the table to briefly upset Keqing and then... draw a content smile out of her considering what she knew of her attraction for her secretary.
But to me, it was now a matter of rekindling the fun time and getting in the best position to appease a good friend of mine while also fucking our mutual waifu with her. Nothing wrong in being cool with female bros, now, am I?
