Ganyu Had Always Protected Her Horns

For Ganyu, her horns were sacred symbols of her half-Qilin heritage and an integral part of who she was. Naturally, this only fueled the curiosity of her girlfriend, Keqing, and her boyfriend, Aether. Both had been fascinated by Ganyu's horns since the day they met her. They gleamed in the sunlight like polished jade, majestic and alluring. Yet, despite their admiration, Ganyu had established one unbreakable rule: No touching the horns.

This wasn't an issue for most people. After all, how often does one get the urge to touch a Qilin's horns? But for Keqing and Aether, the forbidden fruit had become an obsession. They schemed and conspired like mischievous children trying to sneak a cookie from the jar, but Ganyu had always managed to avoid their attempts—whether by luck or sheer obliviousness.

Today, however, the stars aligned against her.

Ganyu had worked herself to exhaustion. After spending the entire day juggling her duties as the secretary of the Liyue Qixing, she had indulged in a generous serving of Qingxin flowers. Perhaps too generous, as the combination of the warm afternoon sun, the flowers' sweet aroma, and her full belly had lulled her into a nap beneath the shade of a large oak tree.

Her two partners, Keqing and Aether, stumbled upon this perfect scene during their evening stroll.

"Look at her,"Keqing whispered, crouching down for a better view of Ganyu's serene face. "Completely defenseless. This is our chance."

Aether scratched his head, unsure. "Are you serious? What if she wakes up?"

"She won't wake up,"Keqing assured him with a conspiratorial grin."You've seen how deeply she sleeps after eating those flowers. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Aether. We'll finally get to touch her horns."

Aether glanced at Ganyu's chest, rising and falling gently, her delicate features bathed in the soft glow of filtered sunlight. Her horns arched gracefully over her head, as tempting as ever. He sighed in defeat. "Fine, but if we get caught, it's your fault."

Keqing smirked. "Deal."

The two crept toward their sleeping target with the precision of master thieves. Each step was calculated, every movement silent. Ganyu's horns shimmered faintly in the sunlight, their surface gleaming like polished stone. As they approached, Keqing motioned for Aether to take the left horn while she took the right.

Ganyu remained blissfully unaware as their fingers hovered just above her horns.

"On the count of three,"Keqing whispered. "One… two…"

Aether didn't wait for three. He gently touched Ganyu's left horn, and Keqing followed a fraction of a second later. The moment their fingers made contact, Ganyu's body shivered in response. Both froze, waiting for her to wake up.

But Ganyu only let out a soft hum of satisfaction, smiling in her sleep.

"See? She likes it,"Keqing whispered, her eyes alight with excitement.

Aether chuckled. "I'll admit, they're softer than I expected. Like polished jade."

Keqing leaned in closer, her fingers tracing the elegant curves. "No wonder she doesn't let anyone touch them. They're so sensitive. I wonder…"She trailed off, her mischievous grin widening.

"What?"Aether asked, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.

Keqing's grin turned sly. "We should take it to the next level."

"What do you mean?"

"Bite them."

Aether blinked. "Bite her horns?"

"Just a little nibble,"Keqing insisted. "She won't even notice."

"That's… questionable,"Aether replied, raising an eyebrow. "But you're the brains here."

Keqing beamed at the compliment. "Exactly. Now, follow my lead."

Keqing leaned forward and gently nibbled on Ganyu's right horn. Aether hesitated before doing the same to her left. The reaction was immediate.

Ganyu let out a high-pitched squeal so sharp it startled a flock of birds from the nearby trees. Her eyes flew open in panic as she instinctively tried to pull away. Unfortunately for her, Aether's strong arms wrapped around her waist, holding her in place.

"What are you doing?!"Ganyu stammered, her face flushed a shade of red usually reserved for sunsets.

Keqing, unfazed, pulled back and licked her lips. "I was curious about the texture, that's all. Did you know your horns are slightly sweet? Fascinating."

"Sweet?!"Ganyu shrieked, trembling like a leaf. "Let me go!"

But Aether, emboldened by Ganyu's flustered state, leaned in and experimentally licked the base of her horn. Ganyu gasped, her entire body shuddering as steam seemed to rise from her head.

"Aether! Keqing! Stop this right now!"she pleaded, her voice trembling with equal parts indignation and embarrassment.

Keqing giggled, nibbling on Ganyu's horn again. "I think she likes it. Look how red she's getting."

"I'm not blushing because I like it!"Ganyu protested, though her body betrayed her as a small purr escaped her lips.

The duo continued their assault, alternating between licking, nibbling, and gently stroking her horns. Poor Ganyu could do nothing but squirm and whimper under their relentless attention. The stimulation was too much for her delicate Qilin senses. Her vision blurred, her breathing quickened, and finally, with one last sharp cry, she fainted.

When Ganyu woke up, she found herself lying on a plush sofa in a familiar room. Her horns tingled, and her face burned with residual embarrassment. She groaned, rubbing her temples as she tried to piece together what had happened.

"Good, you're awake,"a stern voice said. Ganyu turned to see Xianyun, her mentor and maternal figure, standing beside her with arms crossed and a disapproving frown.

Ganyu blinked. "Xianyun? How did I get here?"

"I found you unconscious under a tree, with those two troublemakers hovering around you,"Xianyun explained, gesturing to Aether and Keqing, who stood in a corner looking thoroughly chastised.

Ganyu groaned again, burying her face in her hands. "I knew it. I knew they couldn't be trusted near my horns."

Xianyun frowned. "I gave them a piece of my mind, don't worry. They'll think twice before trying something like that again."

Keqing cleared her throat, stepping forward. "In our defense, we didn't think she'd faint. It was supposed to be harmless fun."

"Harmless?!"Xianyun snapped, her voice like a whip. "Do you have any idea how sensitive a Qilin's horns are? Honestly, I expected better from you, Keqing. And you, Aether—what were you thinking?"

"I wasn't,"Aether admitted with a wince. "That's the problem."

Xianyun shook her head, muttering something about"irresponsible children"before turning to Ganyu. "Are you feeling alright, dear?"

Ganyu nodded weakly, still cradling her tingling horns. "I'll be fine. Thank you, Xianyun."

Just then, Shenhe entered the room, holding a bouquet of Qingxin flowers. She took in the scene—Ganyu on the sofa, Aether and Keqing looking like scolded puppies, and Xianyun radiating maternal fury—and tilted her head in confusion.

"What happened here?"Shenhe asked, offering the flowers to Ganyu.

"It's… a long story,"Ganyu replied, accepting the flowers with a grateful smile.

Shenhe studied the group for a moment longer before nodding. "I see. Are horns an erogenous zone, or is it something else?"

The room fell silent.

Ganyu's face turned crimson as she buried it in the bouquet, wishing the ground would swallow her whole. Keqing stifled a laugh, while Aether looked like he was reevaluating all his life choices.

Xianyun pinched the bridge of her nose. "Shenhe, perhaps now isn't the time for those questions."

"But I'm curious,"Shenhe replied earnestly.

Ganyu groaned into the flowers. It was going to be a very long day.
