*Hands you an extremely underrated rare pair* Hello please consider Hu Tao X Keqing I know in canon the only thing they have is a voiceline from Hu Tao but they have such cute dynamics and a lot of potential imo-
Also this sketch is an oldie, was trying to lineart but I gave up so I’m just uploading this now lmao
Febru-rairpair-y day five: "Tell me a story": Hu Tao/Keqing
"Tell me a story, Keqing?" Hu Tao asked from her spot in Keqing's lap, staring up at her girlfriend.
Keqing sighed. "I don't really have any for you."
"Please? Neither of us wanna talk about work, not that we should anyway. And I'm bored!"
"So why don't you ask Mister Zhongli for a story?" Keqing asked, stroking her fingers through Hu Tao's loose hair.
"Because I'm with you right now. That's why," the funeral director said with a soft smile. "Besides, most of his stories are really old stories."
Keqing sighed fondly, and wracked her brain for anything that might be interesting enough for Hu Tao. Finally, she decided to just make something up.
"Once upon a time, there was a butterfly. This butterfly was full of spirit, and passion for what she did, but the other creatures didn't like what they thought the butterfly represented.
"The butterfly wasn't dissuaded from her calling, even though all the other creatures scorned her and shunned her. She was happy and content with her lot in life, even if it was a sad lot.
"One day, she met a lightning bug. The lightning bug, though she had a better looking life than the butterfly, was unhappy and discontent. She didn't know what she wanted out of life, having accomplished much early on in hers.
"The butterfly decided to befriend the lightning bug, even if the other was grumpy most of the time. Butterfly wanted to show the lightning bug just how good life could be if she looked outside of her wingspan.
"But not even the butterfly could be happy forever. Sometimes the constant mocking and degrading she was subjected to wore her down. The lightning bug found her on one of those days, having become accustomed to the butterfly's presence by her side. But when she found the butterfly, she was distraught. The butterfly was sad. Her butterfly was sad. The lightning bug was incredibly mad at those who treated the innocent butterfly in such a horrible way. It wasn't the butterfly's fault that she was the way she was!
"But before the lightning bug could do something impulsive, the butterfly asked her to stay. And so the lightning bug did."
Hu Tao smiled, the allegory of the story not lost on her at all. "And then the butterfly said 'I love you'."
Keqing nodded. "And then the lightning bug panicked for a week before she realized she really loved the butterfly back." She pressed a kiss to Hu Tao's nose, a smile gracing her lips and smoothing her brow. "The end. Did you like it?"
Hu Tao giggled. "It was very spot on. But yes, I loved it."
Hu Tao sat up, and pressed a kiss of her own to Keqing's cheek. "I suppose I should return to work now. Thank you for the lovely break, my dear Lightning Bug. I'll see you tonight."
