Manifesting For Kazuha - Blog Posts

Underneath The Moonlight

This is somewhat of a sequel to Waiting, but it doesn't have to be read first.

The familiar chatter of Liyue Harbour. The midday sun relentlessly shining down on the people. The boats sailing to and from the port.

Yet the one you were looking for was not there.

Pacing the wooden docks, your worries slowly grew.

He said he would be here last week… You thought to yourself. What is something bad happened along the way?! Maybe they got caught up in a storm… or maybe some bad pirates attacked them?

You jumped as you felt a tap on your shoulder. You quickly spun around hoping that it was him… but it was just someone asking if you were okay. The look of disappointment must have been evident on your face as they chuckled,

“Waiting for someone?”

“Oh, s-sorry. Yes, I am.”

“Well, I hope they come soon. I’ll see you around!”

“Y-yes, you too.”

They waved goodbye to you. You sighed, resuming your lookout for The Crux.

It had been quite a few hours since you left the port, and you were almost ready to go home. After you had turned in your commissions, you decided to go to the small mountain east of Liyue Harbour for a while.

You could see the faint moon beginning to rise from where you sat, past sunset, but not quite night just yet. The wind blew through your hair, and the grass rustled beneath you. You leaned your back onto the ground and closed your eyes. You lay there for a few minutes until worries began to creep into your mind.

Where is he? You thought anxiously. Maybe… he’s just avoiding me. Maybe he just doesn’t want to see me. Yeah, that’s probably it. I should go home now, it’s getting late.

You brought your head up, only for it to collide into something hard. You winced at the sudden pain. Ow, You thought, bringing your hands up to your head. Just what were they doing?

The other person laughed, “Well, I didn’t expect that.”

Wait.

That voice…

Kazuha!?

“Wha…”, You gasped, “Kazuha!”

“Yeah, I’m back- hey! What are yo-?!”

His words got abruptly cut off you tackling him into a hug.

“I missed you! Where have you been!” You spilled out suddenly.

He chuckled and hugged you back, “Sorry, there was bad weather, so we couldn’t head out to sea. I’m sorry if I made you worry.”

You sighed, “It’s fine. Just don’t do that again. You promised you would come back soon, remember?”

“Well, I didn’t exactly promise, did I?”

You merely hummed, your hold on him tighter than before. It was just a slip of the tongue, but…

“I love you, Kazuha.”

His mouth was open, his gave fixed on you with wide eyes. Then his face relaxed and he brought you closer to him. He smiled gently, and whispered,

“I love you too.”

And there, you found love in each other's arms, underneath the moonlight.

Waiting

The soft sand beneath your feet. The gentle waves rolling off the stones of the land. The faint sound of eagles soaring in the sky, unbound by the land. The scent of calm- as your friend would say- drifting with the breeze.

This was peace.

But if only the one you cherished most was here to enjoy this moment with you. A conversation you had only hours ago.

“Can’t you stay a while longer? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other…”

“You know I cannot.” He looked towards the sea. “Besides, I am indebted to Beidou for taking me in, even as a fugitive.”

“But still…”

You sighed. “Fine. Just… come back quickly, okay? I don’t know what I’d do if you didn’t come back soon.”

He tilted his head, “What you did before you met me?”

You shook your head, a smile creeping onto your face.

You sighed, drawing your knees up to your chest. If only he knew of how you waited for him. If only he knew how much you thought of him.

If only he knew how much you loved him.

But for now, you would have to settle for waiting.
