Chapter Text
Lumines POV
Lumine looked around Where did she go. It was too dark to see anything from inside so she had to leave. She grabbed Xiao and Aethers wrists and rushed outside. "LUMINE LET ME GO" Aether said trying to pry her off of its wrist.
"Fine" Lumine said letting go as she stopped causing Aether to fall because he was pulling against her extremely hard. "Listen, Ganyu ran out of here because I said that she liked girls and now you have to help me find her."
Ganyu POV
Ganyu's mind was too filled, too crowded, there were so many people here, and it was all too cramped. The exit seemed to be a million miles away before she got out. Her breath was hot, her face was hot, she felt and looked fevered.
She just barely made it to an empty bathroom without doubling over and passing out, and the cold water from the sink was very much the only thing that saved her. She continued to splash the water over her face, barely noticing the sound of the door as it opened. She finally stopped, huffing out warm breaths as she stood over the sink, and looked up.
A familiar face stood at the sink just one away from hers, tall with long red hair. The woman stood there, putting her hair into a ponytail. Ganyu stood there in pure awe, her calmed composure being lost even though she'd just calmed down.
The woman looked up, locking eyes with ganyu and smiling
"Hello" she said as if she weren't a, very attractive and glowing, famous singer just in the normal restroom with a fan "You're one of the front row people, aren't you? I noticed you during the show." She let out a small laugh "I'm Nilou- Well, you probably know that much.. from the posters"
"Uhm Uh I'm..." she thought for a moment "Ganyu. My name is Ganyu."
"Ganyu" Nilou repeated "Ganyu. That's such a beautiful name."
"Your really pretty" Ganyu blurted out to stop the awkward silence. Shit, I was trying to stop the awkwardness I think I made it worse... "Thank you" Nilou said smiling sweetly as she walked over to her "Your pretty too". Ganyu's face started to heat up Don't do this right now. Nilou walked over to Ganyu, grabbed her hand and set what felt like a piece of paper in them before walking out. "It was nice talking with you" Nilou said waving as she walked out. What the hell just happened Ganyu looked down to see what was put him her hands and as she guessed it was a small piece of paper with Nilous number written on it, and a small message that said We should keep in touch! Ganyu's face started to heat up more.
[5 minutes later]
Ganyu walked out of the restroom and outside to see Lumine and Aether arguing and Xiao just standing there on his phone. "ITS YOUR FAULT SHE RAN OFF" Aether shouted "HOW IS IT MY FAULT FOR POINTING OUT THE TRUTH" Lumine shouted back, the yelling was so loud that it was drawing some concerned looks from others. A group of 3 walked over to them, a short purple-haired one, a tall bright red-haired one with a ponytail, and another short green-haired one with glasses, "Are you all okay?" The short green haired one asked. "Huh? Oh yeah were fine" Lumine said grinning as she turned around. "No were not" Aether said shoving her out of the way. "Because of her one of our friends ran off and we cant find her"
"HEY ITS NOT MY FAULT FOR POINTING OUT THE TRUTH" Lumine shouted as she got up out of the bushes she was shoved into. "Oh well what did she look like?" The green one asked pushing up her glasses slightly. "She has blue hair and glasses" Aether said trying to remember what she wore exactly. "She also has horns" Lumine said shoving Aether into the bush he shoved her into.
"Do you mean like that one over there?" The purple one chimed in pointing to Ganyu. Everyone looked over at her Oh no. Ganyu knew what was coming next "GANYU OH MY GOD WHERE DID YOU GO" Lumine said rushing over to her and hugging her tightly.
"Oh uhm, I just went to the restroom for a while." She smiled meekly "Where's Kazuha?"
"OH FUCK I FORGOT AETHERS BOYFRIEND" Lumine let go, rushing back into the building.
Lumine POV
Lumine searched around the remaining people before finally spotting Kazuha. "THERE YOU ARE" Lumine yelled as she grabbed his wrist and ran back outside.
Ganyu POV
"How the hell did she forget Kazuha, is he really that forgettable?" Aether mumbled. Ganyu was sitting on curb waiting for Lumine to show up. "I FOUND HIM" Lumine shouted as she ran out with Kazuha in tow.
"HOW IN FUCKS NAME DID YOU FORGET MY- I MEAN- HOW DID YOU FORGET KAZUHA? WHAT THE FUCK YOU IDIOT" Aether yelled as it ran over to hug kazuha. "I WAS WORRIED ABOUT GANYU" Lumine shouted back
"Both of you need to calm down" Ganyu sighed, smiling and standing up "Its still early, should we go somewhere to eat?"
"OH FUCK YEAH SUMERU FOOD" Aether threw its hands up, jumping around.
"the fuck are they doing" Xiao said, blank tone
"Jumping" Lumine replied
"I believe he's doing some kind of yippee danc- AH" Ganyu was speaking before being grabbed and pulled into Aethers jumping
"Soo... do we just.... wait here?... Or will they follow?.."
"It'll realize we're walking and jump behind us, don't worry. c'mon" Lumine grabbed Xiao's hand, walking peacefully as aether skipped with Kazuha and Ganyu behind them.
[At said restaurant]
Lumine was still holding onto Xiao's hand as they sat down. Aether had stopped jumping for the most part. Ganyu sat down and looked out the window. Hmm.. The moon is.. Dark. Ganyu tried to refocus her attention to the waiter.
"So what would you like to order" The waiter asked looking at Ganyu. "Oh! I'll just have a salad." Ganyu said starting to space out again.
"Alright your food will be out shortly" The waiter said walking away. {Also yes everyone did order and Ganyu was last}.
Ganyu continued staring off into space as the others joked and talked. For the first time in a long time since she had met the twins she felt.. lonely. Even with everyone around her. It was a different kind of lonely.
Even when the plates came, she picked at the meal she'd ordered. Pushing the vegetables around with her fork. `She was so pretty... she was so close yet so far...... `
"hey ganyu what time is it?" Aether said through a mouthful of cake
"Oh uhm it's 10:13" she responded. almost everyone had finished their food, aether was finishing its cake it had started by itself.
"Holy shit we gotta go" Lumine said, ushering Xiao out of the booth so they could climb out. Ganyu, Aether, and Kazuha followed as usual.
While walking, Ganyu decided to do something. she pulled her phone out, opening it to messages. 'This is Nilou right? From the bathrooms at the concert hall?' she clicked send before she could double take on it, and almost immediately her phone buzzed back. 'Yes hi you must be lovely ganyu' Ganyu's face heated up again NO. Ganyu you do NOT like girls. `GANYU STOP THINKING YOU LIKE GIRLS. THIS GIRL. UGH STOP.` She yelled at herself internally, but another buzz cut her off 'Hey, you know *insert really pretty place in sumeru* do you maybe think you'd be able to make it there tonight? it was so nice talking to you and I'd like to talk face to face again'
` What. the. FUCK. `
A pretty lady, probably the prettiest lady in all of Sumeru, was asking HER to meet with her.
'Yeah I'm free, I'll be there in like 15?'
'Sounds great Ganyu <3'
`NDFJSDIFISBN`
Ganyu reached the spot, seeing Nilou sat in the grass, gazing at the stars. "Lonesome with no moon, isn't it?" Nilou said out of no where, making ganyu shiver "come sit down, there's a blanket for us to stargaze."
And so that, very experience, was the beginning of a series of meetings. Every night, Ganyu and Nilou would meet. And Ganyu would fall deeper and deeper into love with Nilou.
