Monday. It's around 1 pm when the gift finally arrives at Keqing's desk. As surprised as she was dubitative of where that came or who could do something like that, she tried looking for some kind of card, finding it. No name on it. "Hope you enjoy these flowers, I really liked your outfit today." It was signed as "G". Leaving them on some water, she continued doing her work as usual. Quick change to meal time, about an hour and a half later. Ganyu joined her, as always. She really enjoyed her company, but she thought maybe she was spending too much time with her, maybe she's taking too much time of hers. Using rumours as an excuse, Ganyu asked her about the flowers. Keqing hesitated at first, thinking about how could she know about that, but yeah, that excuse seemed very convincing.
- Well, now that you ask, I actually got some flower bouquet. The person even got some glaze lilies. I guess they know me... At least a little bit. - Hand on her chin, she clearly was still thinking about who could be the gifter of such present.- But I have no clue of who the gifter could be, actually.
- I'm sure it will hit you sooner or later. You don't know that many people, right? I could help you look for them if I'm not that busy. I suggest you look inside the seven stars, it must be someone close enough to know your workplace and shifts. Do you have any hints about the person? - She asked lastly, already knowing the answer to it.
She, again, was reluctant to answer. It began to be somehow awkward to her that Ganyu was not that surprised. She always looked weird when Keqing received a gift. Maybe this time it was something she didn't care about, but it was definitely an odd behaviour. Meanwhile, Ganyu's mind is something completely different. Daydreaming about the whole event, she imagined about how Keqing would react when she finally finds out the one giving her those flowers was her. Finally catching her distracted, a finger snap made the girl came back to her actual time. Starting to worry about the situation, Keqing suggested Ganyu to go home early if she was feeling unwell.
- Oh no... I'm fine... I'm totally fine, Keqing. Picking up the food rests to throw them at the bin, and before she leaves for her workplace again, she turns at Keqing.- By the way, you look even prettier today, I don't know what you did to your hair or your outfit, but it looks good.
Keqing sat there for a minute, finishing her food. Suddendly, it snapped. The words came out of her mouth. "your outfit". That was it. That was on the letter. Rushing to Ganyu's desk, she looked exhausted when she arrived.
- You... Flowers... You! - Still trying to regain her breath, she slams her work table.- Why?
- Seems you finally realised... Took you long enough. I... I just wanted to give them to you. Nothing else.
-Ganyu. - she sighs, reaching her head- I know you're lying. I know you. Go ahead, tell me. -Demanding, she approaches the girl, both hands back on the desk.
- It's noth... Fine, you know what? I don't know how to do it. I'm trying my best, but I don't know how to do it. - She's not exactly breaking down, but she feels close to it. Trying to hide her sad eyes with her hands, she leans back on her chair.
- Doing what? -Again, Keqing realises some more things. Ganyu could be trying to ask her out. That could explain all the previous gifts too.- Yes, Ganyu. I would like to hang out with you. Isn't that what this is all about?
Ganyu, slowly coming to the conclusion that Keqing is, at least, interested in a date, has a 180 degrees change in her expression. She's back at her normal nature, even though she doesn't seems as calm as she normally is. Date was decided to be taken that same evening, after finishing work. Ganyu, for the first time in weeks, could manage to fulfill all her tasks in times.
- Should we go now? -Keqing was surprised by her coworker arriving at her door.
- Just one more minute, I need to check this last document and we should be fine to go.
Date was amazing, said by both of them. They repeated the occasion some days after too.
