A/N: Yesterday night I finished the newest archon quest and I just couldn't help but write something for these beautiful ladies! I hope you enjoy!
Summary: Beidou is on her way to meet the killjo- Ningguang to, highly probably, be nagged about all the commotion her Crux Clash Tournament caused.
Words: 1.4k
Her sighs kept her company all the way. Today's tournament had been both the best and the worst of them all.
Who would have thought that the traveler was going to be a participant?! That was the good part; thanks to the traveler's participation, many more people attended the event, curious to see that strength and ability everyone, (even the Liyue Qixing), had been talking about.
And that was precisely the bad part of the event. So many people had attended, and there had been such a stir that, of course, Ningguang thought that such ruckus was nothing but an inconvenience.
Now, Beidou had to miss the final battle and leave everything in Kazuha's hands. So disappointing.
She knocked twice and then, after a three seconds pause, knocked one more time, letting Ningguang know that it was her.
"You may come in," she said and Beidou sighed one more time before stepping into the office.
Ningguang's scent tingled her nose right away and she couldn't help but take a deep breath as she closed the door behind her. Her eyes landed on Ningguang's red ones and Beidou swore she saw flames on them. She wanted to laugh.
"Did you-
"What is happening at Guyun Stone Forest?"
Beidou sighed again, "I'm sure you already know, Ning," she said, shrugging her shoulders. "But if you want to hear it from my lips, then I'll tell you."
Ningguang stared at her as Beidou made her way to her, unceremoniously dragging a chair close to Ningguang's, making her panic a little.
"What are you-
"What? Didn't you say you wanted to hear it from me?"
"I certainly didn't say anything and-
"So," Beidou interrupted her, letting herself fall on the chair. "In short, we had the traveler you've been talking about so much participating in the Crux Clash Tournament today and everyone was very excited about it. And then-
This explanation had suddenly turned into Beidou not actually trying to save herself from Ningguang's scolding, but just excitedly telling her what had happened in only a few hours.
Her excitement and happiness had actually worked on Ningguang, and Beidou noticed the little smile pulling at her lips, however, Beidou's mouth sometimes didn't filter what she said and, before she could stop herself, she was speaking her next words:
"... And Kazuha and the traveler went looking for the thief, and I was waiting for them until a certain killjoy asked me to come all the way here."
A smirk pulled at the corners of her lips when Ningguang's fair cheeks turned pink, her eyes widening slightly. Beidou had to bite her tongue to hold back a laugh.
"What… did you call me?"
"Hahaha! What? You didn't hear, Ning? I called you a killjoy."
Ningguang's cheeks turned bright red and Beidou fought the urge to pinch them. Ah, she recognized that expression, the always calm Tianquan was getting angry.
"You!" Ningguang stood up, almost toppling her chair down. Beidou also stood up with a swift move, giggling to herself. Oh, how she enjoyed pushing Ningguang's buttons. "Listen, Captain. I will not allow you to call m-
"Killjoy."
"Okay, that's it."
Beidou laughed as she dodged Ningguang's hands reaching out for her as she sprinted away.
"Beidou!"
"Lady Ningguang!"
Ningguang's hair and clothes fluttered behind her like clouds moving with the light breeze of Liyue as she chased Beidou around her little office. They were, actually, not running, Beidou was moving swiftly everywhere, like lightning quickly hitting different spots, and Ningguang tried to catch her up, trying to keep all composure, but growing frustrated the more she heard Beidou's giggles.
"You think that is funny? This Tianquan will show you something funny."
Beidou let out a soft squeal when she tripped, Ningguang had thrown a few rocks at Beidou's feet, making her nearly hit her forehead with the edge of Ningguang's desk before falling onto the wooden floor with a soft 'oof'.
"Ha?! Are you trying to kill me?!" She asked, turning over just before Ningguang rushed to her, straddling her waist with flushed cheeks. "Ning! I've told you using your vision is unf-fahahaha!"
Beidou's bright laughter filled the whole room as soon as she felt Ningguang's shy fingers digging against her plump hips, tickling her with terrifying precision. Beidou had no discretion, she didn't try to hide her laugh or the fact that she was so painfully ticklish there, on the contrary, she laughed wholeheartedly, bucking and twisting her hips as she tightly shut her eye.
Her hands moved up to wrap around Ningguang's wrists, fighting to push them away from her body, but Ningguang, even looking as fragile as she did, was by all means, not weak at all and Beidou had a hard time trying to make her stop.
"I do not care if you think it's fair or not," Ningguang said over Beidou's laughter. "I will not allow anyone to call me names in my own office. Not even you," she said and Beidou laughed harder, not because of the tickling, (that was slowly making her go a little hysterical), but because Ningguang sounded so angry, exasperated and embarrassed and Beidou thought that she was too adorable.
"It's nahahahat m-my fahahahahault you ahahare a k-kihihilljoy!" Beidou managed to say between laughs.
"Beidou!" Ningguang gasped and Beidou suddenly felt one of Ningguang's thumbs sneaking under the leghole of her leotard, pressing on that super sensitive spot right where her thigh met her hip, rubbing deep, gentle circles.
Beidou blushed at the contact and she threw her back with loud barks of bubbly laughter, causing her hairpin to get loose.
"N-Nihihihihingguahahang! Listen! Lihihistehe-AHAHAHA!" Beidou howled with laughter when Ningguang's other hand started to squeeze the top of her thigh, her fingers gently digging against the soft flesh close to Beidou's inner thighs.
Beidou was a strong woman, she killed the leviathan Haishan without a vision, and many people said she could cut any sea beast that crossed her path in half. She was a rule breaker, paying fine after fine without caring about the mora she spent, and yet, here she was, being overpowered by no other but the Tianquan with the help of some rubbing and squeezes to her most ticklish spots.
Was she embarrassed? Hell no. Was she having fun? Yes, because she made Ningguang lose her composure one more time, so this was not a loss to Beidou, but yet another of her many victories.
"I'm sohohohorry!" She laughed, pressing her legs together. "I wohohohon't cahahahall you thahat anymore, plehehehease!" She said, arching her back a little when Ningguang's fingers moved back to her hips, squeezing them firmly, but gently.
"What else?" Ningguang said, vibrating her fingers at Beidou's hips. "How much are you willing to pay for all the damage caused?"
Now she was only teasing! Beidou didn't cause any damage, or was Ningguang talking about her pride?
"So?"
Beidou cackled, nodding her head. "Ahahahas m-muhuch as you wahahahant!" She said and Ningguang stopped, but kept her hands over Beidou's hips, holding her.
Beidou's body melted when the tickling stopped and she giggled tiredly, trying to catch her breath before opening her eye to look at Ningguang.
"You're beautiful," she whispered, lifting one hand to cup Ningguang's cheek.
Ningguang looked at Beidou, her cheeks still red as she let out a sigh. "Why do I always end up doing childish things when you are around, Captain?"
Beidou smiled her biggest smile, sitting up quickly and placing his other hand over Ningguang's free cheek.
"Because you always have fun with me," she sang, pressing her lips against Ningguang's before the Tianquan could say something else.
They kissed for a while, Beidou slowly making Ningguang relax against her, giving herself up to Beidou. She felt her elegant, long arms wrapping around her neck, her fingers carding through Beidou's messy hair, making her shiver when the metallic claws gently scratched her scalp.
When they pulled apart, Beidou was smiling brightly again and Ningguang had to chuckle as the Captain playfully brushed her nose against Ningguang's.
"Do not think I have forgotten the reason I called you here in the first place," Ningguang said softly, placing her hands on Beidou's shoulders before stealing a quick peck to Beidou's lips.
Beidou hummed, "what was it again?" She asked playfully.
"If you ever make such a ruckus again, I will not allow you to make those tournaments ever again," Ningguang warned, smirking at Beidou.
Beidou smirked back at her. "Lady Ningguang… you really are such a killjoy," Beidou said, and before Ningguang could say something back, Beidou's hands were playfully squeezing her waist, making her let out a surprised laugh.
Ningguang could be a killjoy, but she was Beidou's killjoy and if that gave her an excuse to keep teasing her always calm sweetheart, then she would most definitely take advantage of it.
