Keqing never believed in things such as 'fate' and 'destiny', dismissing them as mere fairy tales. However, when she met you, that all changed. You were perfect in every imaginable way – beautiful, sweet, kind, and loving. Despite this, you fell for Keqing, a proficient and enigmatic sword master who rarely opened up to anyone. She knew that you were pining after her and was determined to ensure that your feelings didn't go unreciprocated, despite her struggles with expressing her emotions.

She made a silent vow to herself, promising that she would never let you slip away, committing to stand by your side through thick and thin. At times, all she yearned for was to express the depth of her love for you.

Seated beside you, Keqing quietly savored her tea, her gaze gradually dropping to your hand. Perhaps it was time for her to take the initiative instead of waiting for you to do so.

As her hand inched towards yours, a faint, rosy blush blossomed on her cheeks, betraying the calm exterior she projected. Her fingers interlocked with yours as she held on firmly, setting her tea aside. "This... This is amazing," she uttered, her voice wavering slightly as she realized the weight of her words. "The tea, of course," she hastily corrected herself, clearing her throat, her thumb tracing gentle circles on your palm.
