Chapter Text
"Hmm~ Splendid! Lumine got the taste that I anticipated" Lisa blurted out in delight before taking a sip again of her sweet milk tea.
"Forget about what I said, it's beyond what I expected! I made up my mind. I will be having that cutie as my guest at one of my tea parties in the future." an elegant chuckle slipped out of the wizard's lips but it quickly died down when she received no response from her companion.
"Jean... Darling?... Teyvat to Jean?... Jean Gunnhildr!" Lisa sighed as she watched Jean rouse from spacing out.
"I'm sorry, Lisa, what did you just say?" Jean replied, obviously not paying attention to what Lisa was telling a while ago.
"Never mind that, darling. Didn't I tell you that we're here to take a break?" Lisa reprimanded the latter and it was Jean's turn to let out a sigh.
"Lisa, you know I can't just waste my time sitting here. I have a lot of important things to do and taking a coffee break in this tavern is nowhere near the list." Jean retorted, massaging her temple as she could feel it about to ache.
"I understand that you want to fulfill your duty as an Acting Grandmaster for Mondstadt but resting and relaxing even just a half an hour will not kill you, Jean" Lisa raised her voice a little but then as she saw Jean's upset expression, she knew that their argument will just turn into another dismissed debate.
I would never be able to win over your work, huh... But what can I do? I love you and I will always be here to understand you .
"Fine..." it fell gloomy out of Lisa's mouth as she silently took a sip of her drink. Suddenly, the extra sweet 'Love Poem' tasted dull on her tongue.
"Let's go now" Jean stood up and fixed her coat, brushing away the wrinkles on it.
"Can you finish your coffee first?" Lisa asked, trying her best not to sound annoyed.
"Lisa, I need to go back to the quarters. I will be meeting the Tianquan of Liyue Qixing to discuss some substantial matters." Jean explained.
"But aren't they here for a vaca-" Jean cut her off.
"Well... I'm a little shameless to ask for the lady's time on her supposed to be vacation but it's a good opportunity to take since traveling to Liyue can still be time-consuming. With this, we could save a lot of time and energy and besides, she agreed so I don't see anything wrong with that." Jean continued.
Lisa, on the other hand, didn't bother to listen more to the latter's explanation, instead, she put down her cup and proceeded to the door.
"Going now? Aren't you two so fast?" Paimon asked but Lisa just threw her a smile before going out of the tavern.
"Eh? Did Paimon say something wrong?" Paimon asked Lumine. Traveler shook her head and glanced at Jean walking towards them looking frustrated.
"Something happened, Jean?" Lumine asked.
"Nothing..." the anemo wielder answered but the two didn't buy it.
"Then why did Lisa go out? She hasn't even finished her drink" Paimon asked.
"Oh... yeah uhh... It's because I need to attend an important meeting with the tianquan" Jean said, bringing a bag of mora out of her coat.
"Take this as a tip. Don't think about how Lisa acted just now, she did like what you made" after placing the mora on the counter, she bid goodbye to the two and disappeared quickly leaving the duo confused.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
Ten minutes before the planned time to meet, Ningguang arrived in the quarters, together with a frowning pirate, tailing her.
Knights escorted the two towards the lounge while one of them informed the Acting Grandmaster. Without a minute, Jean went out of her office to professionally welcome the two guests.
After a while of noble exchanges between the two, Jean ushered Ningguang towards her office to proceed with the meeting. Holding the door for the lady, she watched Ningguang stop just in front of the doorway and glared at the pirate who was tugging her qipao.
"Beidou, you are not allowed to join this meeting. There's a confidential matter the Acting Grandmaster of Mondstadt wished to address between me and her alone. Don't bother, I'll try to dispense as much information that would concern your line of duty." the tianquan spoke, seriousness draping over her voice.
"Why am I not allowed to? I am acquainted with the Tianquan, it's just right to count me in!-" Beidou retaliated as she heard what Ningguang said.
"Beidou-" Ningguang gave her a warning call but Beidou was stubborn enough to cut her off.
"Ning, you know whatever bull you're going to talk about is not close to my real concern, I will not let you alone with that-" the pirate didn't have the chance to continue what she was about to say when Ningguang pulled her away to the corner of the halls, enough so Jean will not hear what she was about to say.
"Beidou, can you listen to me just this time and stop being tenacious. You know how valuable my time is to me when it comes to my responsibility as a Tianquan of Liyue Qixing and I wish to not waste it on bickering with you here. Don't make me lose my patience today, Captain." Ningguang sternly spoke, her glare was so sharp that Beidou could feel it piercing through her but she was irritated as Ningguang was.
"Don't be ridiculous, Ning, you're making me laugh!" Beidou scoffed. "You're the one who told me that you want to go here for a breather! You call this a breather?!" Beidou couldn't help but raise her voice. Crossing her arms above her chest, attempting to hide the puffing of it because of the genuine outrage she felt.
Silence reverberated between them before Ningguang could manage to speak again.
"Stop it. Stay here. We're going to talk later." Ningguang managed to keep her voice rigid but Beidou swore she caught a glimpse of crystals edging to fall out of her eyes. She let the tianquan go, leaning on the wall, still trying to calm herself.
"I beg your pardon for the little commotion, let's proceed now to the meeting" Ningguang relayed as she faced the Acting Grandmaster again.
Jean with a worried expression just nods, choosing to be more practical and proceed to what they planned for today.
As Beidou heard the door closed, she shook her head, still upset about what just happened. She knew Ningguang was an opportunity seeker but she couldn't help but be mad the second she told her that they need to forfeit their hike to the Starsnatch Cliff just for a freaking meeting.
She sighed as she decided not to think about it anymore. She closed her eyes and just hoped that the gods of time would make it run faster so they could resume their rare little vacation.
Lisa, on the other side, just walked out of her library as she heard the two entered Jean's office already. She could say that the walls in the headquarters were not that soundproof so she heard almost what happened across the hall.
She spotted the pirate, back leaning on the wall with her eyes closed. Bored, she strutted towards the captain. She decided she would love to mess around today.
Funnily, the captain of the crux didn't realize her presence, assuming that she was lost in her thoughts. She tiptoed, reaching the pirate's ear before whispering a very dragged yet soft, almost enticing "hey there, cutie"
Watching the woman's reaction added to the fun as she witnessed her jump in surprise, bumping into the wall, while holding her ear, red splattered on her cheeks.
The two who were in a very heated discussion of numbers and records heard the loud crash and stopped for a bit, before resuming again.
Lisa chuckled softly, hands covering her mouth. Beidou stood there as if a cryo abyss mage shot her while she was damp in the rain.
"Are you still with me, sweetie? You looked like you've just seen a ghost" Lisa spoke, grabbing the pirate's arm.
"Uh... Yes, I am..." Beidou had the energy to speak again after her spirit almost jumped out of her body.
"I'm sorry for a not-so-good way of introducing myself" Lisa chuckled.
"N-No it's okay... I'm just deep in thoughts for a moment..." Beidou said, fixing her posture while scratching her ear that became overly sensitive because of the stunning lady in front of her. "You must be Ms. Minci"
"Oh... so you heard about me already" Lisa spoke, not that surprised about the pirate knowing her name.
"You're kind of well-known powerful sorcerer across Teyvat" Beidou replied. She actually first heard her name when she let a researcher from Sumeru, have a ride with the crux to Inazuma, telling that she had a schoolmate, apparently the most outstanding graduate in Sumeru Academia, who yields electro too as she got to sight Beidou's vision. But she's not going to tell Lisa about that.
"Hmm, I get that a lot and normally, I take it as a usual compliment, but coming from the Uncrowned Lord of the Ocean, I am very delighted that you knew me like that." Lisa said, pride laying on her tone.
Beidou, who got caught on guard, blushed a little as she heard her title rolled on the mage's tongue. "Me too"
"It's unethical to let a guest just stand here in the halls. Please accept my invitation for you to join me in my library." Lisa offered. She saw Beidou hesitate for a minute, turning her head towards the door where Ningguang was in with the Acting Grandmaster.
Lisa, chuckled again, as she stuck her index finger on the pirate's chin and pulled it softly to face her again. "Oh sweetie, believe me, that meeting will take longer than you think"
Beidou felt an electrical wave stream through her coming from the mage's finger and as if she was hypnotized, she nodded and followed Lisa inside her library.
- °•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
"So I heard you and the Tianquan were here for a vacation..." Lisa initiated a conversation as she prepared a tea set for the two of them.
"Yeah... supposed to be..." Beidou uttered as if she was eating something bitter, words came out acridly from her lips.
"Hmm... How is it then? Did you enjoy it? The local foods? and the beautiful landscapes?" The wizard asked again as she poured tea into the pirate's cup before settling down the teapot on the wooden oak tea table, sitting herself on the chair across from her.
"well... yeah... not until there was a meeting to happen. Argh! I was supposed to show her something today on Starsnatch Cliff but it's too late already..." Beidou washed her hand on her face. Disappointment plastered on it. The witch watched the pirate's helpless expression as she fetched the grog settling on her waist.
"You can still enjoy the night on the cliff... It's a good place to stargaze with someone you love..." Lisa smiled remembering her old times with Jean, when she snuck out of the quarters and Jean worriedly followed her, only to end up stargazing together on the cliff.
"Though it's a good idea, I would rather let her see the wide brine than watch the sky... she has been living there already... I want her to look down and behold the vast sublime ocean where I belong..." Beidou mumbled and let out a small chortle. "and besides, I don't want our moment to turn into a fighting saga with hilichurls. You know how active they are at night" she laughed although there was a hint of forlornness in her voice.
"That woman always prioritized work over her happiness... " Beidou uttered slowly as she took a heavy chugged on her rum, averting her miserable gazes towards the window where she watched the sun setting already.
Hearing Beidou's statement brought her thoughts back to the stubborn Jean but then she pushed it to the back of her mind, supposing she had enough of the gloom the blonde had been bestowing to her. Obliviously.
"Oh... I'm afraid to tell you that this is supposed to be tea time" Lisa chuckled as she took a sip of her tea, always effortlessly radiating elegance in every way.
"My apologies, Ms Minci... I am not that fond of tea. I rather drown in this hard liquor" Beidou shook her flask in front of the witch like the drunkard she is.
Beidou saw Lisa's gorgeous glowing face morph into a dark displeased expression as if she offended the whole lineage of tea lovers. She almost felt a balethunder circulating inside the library like she was strolling through Mikage Furnace in Tatarasuna naked and without the protection of electrogranum.
"Uh... but I guess we can do something about that..." The pirate chuckled nervously as she poured her rum on the teacup and clumsily drank it up, forgetting that it was patently hot.
"Oh! Hot!" Beidou stuck her scalded tongue out and fanned it.
Lisa's eye slightly twitched but remained calm as she watched the pirate carelessly act. Very contrasting to her and only there she realized that it was rather interesting.
"My bad, Ms Minci, it's just right now... I am such a mess..." Beidou sunk her head in the table, one arm ruffling her own hair in vexation and as if the pirate pressed a button on Lisa's gears, suddenly she was no different than her. Standing up, she snatched the bottle of booze from Beidou's hand then brought it into her mouth and precipitously guzzled it.
"I surmise we're on the same boat then" The witch laughed and Beidou swore that her breath hitched on how beguiling the lady sounded as if she's casting an enchantment of temptation.
"W-What do you mean Ms. Minci?" Beidou stuttered, completely flabbergasted at the lady in front of her.
"Lisa. Call me Lisa, sweetie, I prefer you call me by my first name. We're now good companions, aren't we?" Lisa articulated before gulping on the liquor again.
"S-Sure Lisa... but what do you mean by us being in the same boat...?" she asked, still befuddled by what the wizard said.
"Us having a rival with our love ones, namely their work ." Lisa let out a cute giggle as she strode towards the pirate. Since she has never been a fan of alcohol, she assumed that her tolerance for it is very low and she might be probably drunk already but she never thought too that it would taste adequate down her throat.
She was about to take a swig again but Beidou grabbed the flask away from her. Lisa then turned to protest, only to find their faces only inches away from each other. Hot breath whisking into each other's skin as they both engaged in a staring battle.
The witch smirked as she proceeded to whisper something like an incantation of provocation.
"I do have a proposition, a satisfactory way of relieving our neglected affection out of our system... would you like to accept it, sweetie?" Soft fingers grazed down the pirate's chest and as Beidou processed the wizard's assertion, she could only feel one thing. She didn't waste any time as she opened her mouth.
"Do tell me."
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
"It's my pleasure to be brought to this little meeting, Ms. Gunnhildr. I will keep in mind those modernized tactics you shared that I could use in the future" Ningguang spoke as Jean guided her towards the door.
"I am more grateful to have you here. I would gladly keep that advice you gave to me and maybe give some second thoughts about your supposition" Jean answered with a genuine smile plastered on her face.
As both of them went out of the office after hours of fruitful discussion, Ningguang instantly roamed her gazes, looking for a certain pirate she left there a while ago.
Jean noticed that subtle act and also looked around only to see no presence of the brunette pirate. As she looked back again to the lady, she saw her eyes glittered with verging tears. Anxiousness was written all over her face. Looking almost as if she wanted to call out someone's name but holding herself back for it was not so Qixing to do.
Before Jean even reached Wood to ask if he had seen Beidou, the door of the library opened revealing two identities. One is Beidou and the other was her lover, clinging to the pirate's arm as they giggled at whatever they were talking about.
The knight observed the two silently, so immersed in their own world, until they realized their presence. As she met Beidou’s eyes, she saw her tapping Lisa's arm that was clinging to her. Lisa stopped and turned only to see Jean's expression that cannot be discerned by any other but oh she knew what it was.
On the other side, numerous thoughts and questions flowed in Ningguang's head as she saw the two go out of the library together. Her eyes were locked on the linked arms of the two as she stood there frozen. She couldn't fathom how Beidou still did not realize her existence as if she had completely forgotten about her. When Lisa turned and looked in her direction, she could see a mischievous grin painted on her face as she tiptoed to whisper something in Beidou's ear. Only then, Beidou noticed her, completely letting go of Lisa's grip.
"Told you sweetie~ we're just in time." Lisa said, chuckling with her ever-so-charming voice. The two diplomats almost lost their composure at the statement Lisa made, not expecting what would be her second move.
"I guess this is a goodbye, Captain Beidou. I really enjoyed the time that we had" Lisa said, latching on the pirate's neck as she gave her a quick peck on the cheeks. "Goodnight~"
Beidou blushed at the sudden act. Scratching the back of her head as she released an awkward chuckle, she nodded as Lisa walked away, passing through Jean and going inside the office.
Beidou walked over to Ningguang who had been quiet the whole time. "Uhm... Done already?" she trailed off but the tianquan didn't answer.
"Let me escort the both of you myself towards the entrance." Jean was the one who was quick to recover from the scene and approached them. Ningguang nodded with a slight smile as they walked together through the door of the quarters.
"Thank you again Ms Gunnhildr" Ningguang said which Jean replied with a smile. As she turned to Beidou, Jean was kind enough to throw her a stiff smile before walking back inside the quarters.
Ningguang heard Beidou click her tongue as they continued to walk away from the building.
"Beidou... we can continue our plans today now..." Ningguang mumbled softly, almost sounding coy but enough for Beidou to hear.
"Let's just go back to our room. We can do it tomorrow. I am kinda tired. For now, let's just rest." Beidou said without looking at her.
Ningguang bit her lip as she heard a tone she feared to hear from the lady. She kept her mouth shut and just followed Beidou through, trying to ignore the fact that other than the usual smell of fresh sea and alcohol, there was a different fragrance lingering on Beidou's body.
Jean walked into a passed-out Lisa on her office's couch. Shaking her head, she fished out a blanket on one of the shelves in the office. It had been there since Lisa always fell asleep whenever she waited for the Acting Grandmaster to finish her work.
She let out a sigh as she lay the blanket over her. She sat down beside her only to smell a faint scent of alcohol on her body. Jean gritted her teeth as soon as she remembered the scene a while ago.
'That pirate...'
She was about to plant a kiss on the wizard's forehead but something caught her attention on Lisa's neck.
"Is this a... hickey...?”
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
Jean stretched her limbs as she finished her morning work. Gazing at the clock, it was almost noon, usually the time when Lisa will barge in and will convince her to take a break with her but oddly, no Lisa walked in, not what she was used to.
She tapped her fingers deliberately on the oak table while attempting to wait more and as she heard a knock and the door opening, she straightened up her composure and smiled, assuming it was Lisa but unfortunately, it was just one of the knights turning in their reports.
As she finished reviewing the reports and still no sign of the sorcerer, she stood up and decided to pay a visit to the library. She knocked before entering and walked straight to Lisa's favorite spot only to witness her fixing a bouquet of cultivated cecilias. She cleared her throat to grab the mage's attention but she was too focused on what she was doing.
"You look busy there" Jean finally spoke. Lisa looked up at Jean and smiled.
"So unusual of you to be here" Lisa said before bringing her attention back to what she was organizing.
"Have you had lunch already?" Jean asked but Lisa just shook her head.
"Skipping your break time? That's new... What have you been doing?" Jean asked, keeping her gaze towards Lisa.
"I heard that tonight will be the departure of Beidou and the Tianquan. I would love to give them a parting gift." Lisa answered, lips smiling widely.
"Oh... that's generous of you. Should I bring you food instead?" Jean asked again.
"No need, Jean. You should go and eat first if you are hungry already, I will be going to finish this" Lisa said without even sparing her a glance. Jean chewed her inner cheek, preventing herself to frown at Lisa's attitude toward her.
"I wait for you then" she then approached Lisa's table and noticed a glowing purple rose on the corner.
"This is beautiful" Jean said, astonished at the beauty of the rose, picking it up.
"I made that for Beidou. I cast a spell of perpetual life on that rose so it would not wither no matter where she will go. It could also glow like a reflection of the moon on the sea as soon as the night comes" Lisa explained, changing her tone within a second she spoke about the pirate.
As if a young lad falling in love for the first time. That's how Jean interpreted her lover's expression and tone at the moment. She winced at the thought.
'When did they become so close?' Jean silently thought not until the memory of last night came back to her.
"Is this a... hickey...?" Jean asked, heart beating in not so good way. She touched it, stirring Lisa from sleep.
"Hmm, Jean?" Lisa asked, getting up from the couch. "Did I sleep too long?" She added.
Jean wanted to ask her but it's not good to assume things quickly. Asking questions like that could hurt Lisa's feelings and that was the thing she wanted to avoid.
Ignoring the flash floods of doubt in her mind, she smiled and kissed the witch on the forehead.
"Not really. Let's go to a more comfortable bed for you" Jean said as she escorted her towards their room.
With that, she suddenly had the urge to crumple the rose in her hand but stopped when she was about to do it.
"I must go now. I need to finish more things." Jean said, placing the purple rose back on the table. Leaving the library, she balled her fist as she could feel rage slowly spreading in her chest. She never felt this back then and she didn't like it.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
The Acting Grandmaster sat alone in her dim office, fiddling her fingers as she waited for a certain sorcerer to come. She glanced at the hanging clock to check the time before bringing her attention back to the paper settled on her table.
Jean whipped her head towards the door after hearing a knock. As the door opened, revealing Lisa, her mouth gaped at how different her girl looks. It was inconspicuous to the eyes of just somebody in their guild but if you're someone who knew every single part of her existence as Jean does, then you probably will notice how her hair was neatly in place as if she combed it for hours, face painted with more alluring makeup than the usual one and the different perfume she was wearing as if she concocted seduction into perfume. Her spite sparked as her expression darkened.
"Jean? Why is the room so dark, are you so busy again to even open the room's light?" Lisa asked, switching the lights on after closing the door. Lisa lifted her brow when she saw the blonde's fierce expression, almost looking like a lion fuming in rage, once the place lit up.
"Why did you call me here, sweetie?" Lisa asked softly, ambling towards the anemo knight.
Jean didn't speak but handed a paper to the mage. Lisa took it and her forehead creased just by reading the first part.
"Is this really urgent?" Lisa asked, irritation almost slipping on her tone.
"Yes," she said as she stood up. "You can go now and do that, I will be preparing to see our visitors off in an hour" she said using her authoritarian voice while fixing her cloak.
Lisa didn't utter any word as she walked out of the office, heels clacking loudly as they hit the floor, the mage was seriously furious this time.
An hour passed and she was on her way to see Ningguang and Beidou off at the Stone Gate. Her thoughts were still preoccupied with Lisa and how she was already feeling bad that she had to give her a job so she'll not be able to go with her. Lisa even prepared a gift for them only to sink into a pile of false requests she made. Oh, don't even ask, sure she didn't know what happened to her too that she would stoop that low just to stop the girl from meeting the certain person she found suspiciously.
But oh Lord Barbatos might be testing her today, she halted her steps as a familiar golden hair caught her attention. She squinted her eyes only to confirm that it was indeed Lisa, already talking to Beidou while Ningguang stood a meter away from them.
She clenched her jaw and marched towards their direction. As she reached them, she tapped the sorcerer's shoulder who seemed to not notice her presence.
"Surprised to see you here... Lisa." Jean uttered in a low deadly tone.
"Oh, don't worry Acting Grandmaster, I was just about to go. I examined the requests and I might say that I can do it quick and easy, no troubles about me being late" Lisa answered, it ticked on Jean’s head giving her a sudden urge to drag Lisa back to the quarters and punish her hard.
"The moon is up now, might as well start our trek..." Beidou cut the tension off. "Lisa, thanks for the gifts... and Jean... We truly enjoyed our stay here" she added.
That didn't help. Rather than putting off the fire, Beidou was sprinkling electricity on it, making her overload in rage.
After a few exchanges, Ningguang and Beidou set off leaving Lisa and Jean alone. Watching their backs as they disappeared from their sight, Lisa was the first one to turn around and walk away.
"Lisa... Let's talk." Jean called out but Lisa ignored her. The furious knight grabbed her wrist and pulled her in a not so gentle way.
"Why are you acting like this?" Jean asked, still biting her tongue, trying to maintain her composure.
"Oh Jean, what are you saying? I'm not doing anything different so please let go of me and I have some duties to attend to" Lisa responded, a static tone lanced through Jean's ear and she let go of Lisa's hand easily.
"Thanks." Lisa resumed walking while Jean followed her behind. Jean couldn't take the coldness of the atmosphere around them and so she attempted to call out again to Lisa, only for Lisa to disappear with a flick of her fingers. Jean stopped for a bit, massaging her aching temples. She was not having it anymore.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
Week had passed and Lisa was still acting differently towards Jean and no matter how the anemo wielder tried pushing this to the back of her mind with the reason that there are more important things to focus on than whatever is happening between them, she can't help but feel frustrated. She was bothered. She was not used to Lisa's coldness. She was not used to Lisa's absence.
The dandelion knight had been holding herself back for a week, but she decided not today. After finishing all of her tasks earlier, she fixed herself and went straight to the library. She thought about this a lot. It had been a while since the last time they spoke to each other. Just as them. Not as Acting Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonious or the known most intelligent librarian witch from Sumeru Academia but as Jean and Lisa. As normal beings, committed to each other.
As soon as Jean entered the room, she found Lisa busy on her own, settling glasses on the table. The mage was too engrossed at what she was doing so the taller lady grabbed it as a chance to sneak behind her lover.
"Lisa..." Jean called out, back hugging the electro mage, shocking the latter in the process.
"Jean... what makes your visit here?" Lisa asked, leaning to the knight's warmth.
"Can't I visit my girlfriend for no reason?" Jean answered, which caught Lisa's attention. The dandelion knight was unusually forward.
"Oh..." the wizard felt Jean's hand sliding through her sides and stopping as soon as it reached her hips, squeezing it softly while ghosting her lips on her nape. "If that's so... do you want to join me and Kaeya here?" Lisa asked, excited at the thought of Jean engaging with them and finally going to have an actual fun.
"Hmm? What will the two of you planning to do in the middle of the night?" Jean asked skeptically though she didn't mind since it was not a new occurrence. Lisa would always invite Kaeya to join her tea parties and the blonde knight letting them be since she knew Kaeya's a nice person after a long time of being with him.
"We're going to try a new drink from Fontaine. Kaeya will be here in a minute, just going to finish his evening rounds." Lisa raised a bottle of liquor. The knight furrowed her brows while she watched Lisa spew some alcohol on a liquor glass. As she finished filling the cup, she raised it to the taller woman's direction and offered it to her with a smile.
"When did you start to get fond of drinking alcohol, huh? The last time we talked about it, you described it as sickening drinks as if you wanna puke just by referring to it" Jean asked in a dubious tone, just staring at the glass of offered booze in front of her.
"Hmm, I happened to be aware that it's not that really bad. Beidou let me drink hers and I never thought it would really taste... peculiarly nice in my mouth..." Lisa replied and the smile that escaped her lips as she mentioned the pirate's name didn't go unnoticed by the knight.
Jean's ear twitched as she clenched her jaw. Hearing Lisa mentioned that stupid name even after week gone by made her blood seething as it streamed through her veins. What did that pirate do to her lover?
"Beidou even sent me this as a gift. She said Fontaine's liquors have various flavors and she picked this one for me because she thought that it would suit my taste. I can't wait to try it." Lisa continued, oblivious to the growing frown on the latter's face.
"Are you going to take it or-" Lisa's eyes widened as Jean whacked the glass away from her hand, shattering of the glass echoed inside the quiet library.
"Jean! Why did you do that?! What's happening to you?" Lisa frantically asked as she looked at the mess that was made on her floor.
"I should be the one asking that to you, Lisa... what's happening to you?!" Jean answered with the same question, face reddening and voice filled with repressed fury while violent hands unconsciously gripped on the mage's arms quite tightly.
"W-What are you saying? Jean, can you calm down for a bit... let go Jean... it hurts-" Lisa attempted, but Jean was nowhere near calm. Her eyes were flaring in red declaring how furious she was, so instead of doing what Lisa wanted to happen, she brought her attention back to the table and knocked everything off it including the very said gift from the pirate.
Lisa was petrified on her spot while she watched the side of her lover that she had never seen before unfold in front of her. Sure she had seen Jean got mad a couple of times, mostly just because of her subordinates being sluggish, catching them slacking at the time that they should be serving and doing their duty but still, that Jean could hold her composure as fine as ever, something opposite to what she was witnessing at the moment.
Breathing heavily because of the force she exerted in a span of a time together with a swirl of provoking emotions, Jean turned her gaze back to the wizard only to see Lisa frozen on her spot, eyes dilating and lips trembling. In a heat of a moment, her rage overpowered all of her means to be imperturbable yet it only took one sight of Lisa's terrified expression for her heart to constrict in pain. This was not what she wanted to happen. She knew she messed it up already and so she pulled the sorcerer in to capture her lips, kissing her hungrily and desperate to convey the reasons why she was acting violently that even she didn't know much she couldn't articulate.
Lisa's breath was hitched by the sudden act, holding Jean's wrist as the taller woman's big hand was grabbing her chin, squeezing it without any intention of being careful.
"Hmmph!" Lisa groaned as she tried to pull away from the furious knight but then she felt pressure on a grip from her cheeks increasing that it started hurting. She let out a whine, letting the anemo holder's tongue trespass her mouth offensively.
Lisa attempted to shove Jean away again but she failed horrendously after she started getting dizzy, probably because of how long Jean was torturing her lips with her aggressive biting and sucking not letting her a chance to gasp for air. Her grasp on Jean's wrist started to loosen as she began to feel light-headed and as if Barbatos took pity on the mage, a knock startled Jean from doing her business, letting Lisa slip out and ran towards the door.
Lisa's hands and legs were wobbly and reaching the door only meters away from them felt like the hardest thing to do. Twisting the knob with her shaking hands, she managed to open it just for a while because just after doing so, it was slammed close again.
"Lisa?" Kaeya called out with concern. "Are you okay there?" he added. Lisa opened her mouth only to close it again as she felt Jean pressing on her back, one of her hands snaking up and down on her sides while the other one was holding Lisa's own hostage, clutching it firmly immovable on the knob.
"Lisa?" Kaeya knocked again as he heard no response from the lady. At this point, there was a palm cupping Lisa's breast already, giving it a firm squeeze while soft lips and hot tongue started giving pecks and licks on her nape to her shoulder back to her neck and up to her jaw.
Lisa let out a hum as she relished the little gentleness that soon be replaced with another squeak after Jean yanked her dress down. Her supple boobs bounced freely as the cloth that restricted them in place got removed.
Jean brought back her hand to the mage's breast and massaged it, not forgetting to give attention to the perky nipple that was hardened already. Grazing her index finger to the nub and then flicking it, she noticed Lisa's body shudder which she took as a signal to keep going. Without hesitation, she pulled Lisa's hips closer to her crotch before shoving her upper forward. The witch let out a groan as she got pressed further, face planted on the wooden door.
"J-Jean... Kaeya's here, please..." Lisa whispered her plea, wishing that the unaware man outside wouldn't hear it.
Jean ignored it, too focused on the lady's plump ass, brushing on her clothed friend that was begging for more. In no time, she proceeded to undo her pants and let out the suffocating beast that was hidden in them.
It sprung ever so lively as it rested on Lisa's behind. As she gawked at the latter's body, she felt a whole new wave of arousal hit her, her dick twitched at the idea of feeling the insides of the mage. Jean never thought that they would be in this position. It was different from her actual plan yet she was not complaining.
"Jean?" Lisa called out when she didn't hear a reply from the knight. Turning her head a bit, she caught a glimpse of the blonde almost looking like a predator rejoicing for it was about to devour its prey. Jean then raised her gaze to her before pressing her back to the hardwood door again, leaning forward then planting kisses on her neck up to her ear.
"Lisa, I want you right now... I need to be inside you, I wanna feel you so bad" Jean whispered, her voice filled with immense desire as she grinded onto the sorcerer's huge fine ass. "Will you?"
Lisa only bit her lip in response. Jean's hot breath touching her ear, hands that were holding her capture, her honest, deep and needy voice and the hard shaft that had been grazing her clothed ass while she humped her desperately only helped to awaken Lisa's own arousal, drenching her underwear in the process.
While waiting for Lisa's answer, Jean snaked her hand under the slit of her dress and pulled it up to get a nice view of her extremely thin underpants, defining even more of her ample buttcheeks. She began humping again but this time was even more frantic, like a dog in heat knowing that the only thing that separates her cock and the sorcerer's skin was a wafer-thin fabric that soon will be torn off by her.
"Lisa~"
"Lisa!"
Sure she heard both Kaeya and Jean call her name at the same time but in different tones, one was concerned to death while the other was desperate to fuck.
"Yes... Jean" in the heat of the moment, she decided to answer the hopeless call of her lover.
"Okay, that's it! I'm opening this by myself, Wood do you have a spare key?" Both of them heard the cavalry captain shout at the knight that was about to call it a night.
"What's happened?" they heard him ask as the clanking of keys can be heard.
"Just give me the key and you're free to rest now" Kaeya spoke and even though they couldn't see it, the two sensed that the key was given already by hearing footsteps walking away from their direction.
Lisa's heartbeat heightened as she felt the key getting inserted into the keyhole. Kaeya was just a door away from them, holding the same knob she was clasping under Jean's palm.
"I'm going in" again, she heard the same phrase from both the Acting Grandmaster and the cavalry captain at the same time, but in a very different context. Only then did she come back to her senses as she remembered that she should be more nervous at the beast behind her that was about to consume her than from someone that was outside their domain. As if she was inside a cage with a lion while the zookeeper was trying to save her, only she would choose to be eaten instead.
Lisa also just realized that her underpants were already torn into oblivion. She thought she was losing her mind because she didn't know what to focus on. The anticipation for Jean's dick to ram her and the nervousness of Kaeya going inside the room mixed together into a mess inside her mind and chest.
She felt the knob being twisted from the other side and there she felt Jean's hand tightening her grip on it too.
'Is she stopping him too?' Lisa thought as she had no choice but to let Jean clasp hardly on the knob even if it hurts her palm already.
"Fuck, why is this door wouldn't budge." They felt the knob being harshly wriggled on the other side. Lisa just closed her eyes and bit her lip, her heart pounding from the suspense and anxiety caused by the situation that she was in.
Unaware, Jean aligned her hard cock to the mage's cunt and entered her without a warning. By the shock, Lisa uncontrollably released a handful of electricity on the knob sending it to the other side which caused the captain to stumble back and fall on his butt.
"Fuck!" Kaeya cursed as he grabbed his wrist in pain.
"Jean!" the mage couldn't prevent herself and let out a loud cry as she felt the thick shaft impale her so suddenly.
"Oh Archons, fuck Lisa~!" Jean howled wantonly, a shiver running through her spine as she felt a raw tight skin engulf her cock. It had been a while since they engaged in such intimate moments but she could tell that it was very different from their past intercourse for she had never craved this strong before. She had never had so much desire on owning her lover, owning Lisa as if descending to the abyss of nothing but hunger and lust that only the mage could bring to her.
Back to the other side of the door, Kaeya watched the knob that was now surrounded by an electric current in silence, more stunned at what he had heard than what just had happened to him, slightly hoping he was wrong about what he thought it was. He stayed still for another minute before helping himself stand, brushing invincible dust on his clothes.
"You sounded busy right now. I'll assume that our little tea meeting tonight is postponed. I'll take my leave now" Kaeya with his ever so pompous voice decided to retire for the night not forgetting to curse under his breath. "Fuck you, Jean"
"Finally" the knight pulled out before thrusting in again. She, at last, removed her hand on the knob together with Lisa's. The mage sighed as she felt her hand pressure-free but it was just a brief minute when Jean picked it and used it as leverage as soon as she started her real mission.
Sliding in and out to the mage's tight and burning cunt, Jean leaned forward and reached for her breast again to give it a handful of squeeze. Lisa's moan echoed inside the library together with a brutal contact of their skins and the extremely lewd squelching sound of her dripping slick that didn't go unnoticed by Jean.
"Do you hear that, Lisa? Your pussy is such a slut for making dirty sounds like that" Jean whispered as she continued to pound her.
"ngh! Jean slow down!" Lisa cried loudly but the knight didn't seem to have the intention to be gentle. Instead, she fastened her pace more. Lisa arched her back in the overwhelming pleasure of feeling her lover's hard, long and veiny cock hammer her wet leaking pussy mercilessly. They had just started but she felt like losing her mind already.
"Does the idea of being caught excites you that much? You're so wet, dripping as hell. Do you enjoy your own little show?" Jean asked as she unceasingly pumped her dick inside the mage.
"W-What are you saying, Jean? I didn't plan anything- ahng~!" Lisa halted her speech when Jean purposely thrust upward hitting her sweet spot.
"Oh Lisa, always so pretentious. We both know you can just easily cast a spell in a second to make a seal on the door." Jean uttered breathily. Lisa could only wail as Jean continued to beat her now found sensitive part.
Obviously, Jean's right. She could have sealed the door with a snap of her fingers yet she chose to crumble on Jean's domineering clutch. She was so caught up in the unexpected encounter that she forgot about it. She can't help but submit even to the slightest touch of the knight, completely letting go of any rational thoughts she had. Lisa closed her eyes tight and bit her lip, almost making it bleed as she felt herself coming to the edge.
"Jean fuck! Haah aah I'm going crazy haah... Keep going I'm so fucking close ohhh~" Jean ears twitched as she heard the curses rolled out of Lisa's graceful mouth, something she could only hear whenever her dick was buried deep in her sweltering core and she can't help but to find it sexy and appealing to her. She want Lisa to lose her mind, ruin her and fuck her up.
"Cum for me then." Jean clutched on her hips and increased her pace even more, focused on the pussy that was starting to clench her rod tight.
"Jean! Jean oh Archons fuck nghh... haah... it's coming out Jean I'm cumming" Lisa body jerked uncontrollably in pleasure, nails digging at the wooden door carving how high she came in it. Jean squeezed the ass in front of her, massaging it, letting the mage ride the hard orgasm she just had while feeling Lisa's insides pulsate around her cock deliciously.
Jean waited for Lisa to calm down, love juices dripping down the mage's trembling thigh as she tried to catch her breath. The knight bent down to shower the sorcerer's back kisses and licks of adoration and satisfaction.
"Jean~" Lisa mewled by Jean's touch, her body slumping on the door in front of her, too tired to carry herself. Lisa closed her eyes, chest rising and falling as sweat and tears trickled down her face. Her energy was drained but as soon as she thought she was about to fall asleep, a hand grabbed one of her legs and lifted it high, spreading her out open wide.
"Jean?!" she shrieked as she forced her eyes to open. Realizing that the knight hadn't finished yet, still hard and throbbing inside her.
"Love... More" Jean hugged the leg that she lifted and started pumping her dick inside again. Lisa clasped at the knob trying to find something to hold her up as her still sensitive pussy was again being fucked by the knight's cock torturously fast.
"Oh Archons, Lisa... you're clamping on me so tight" Jean grunted as she navigated herself inside Lisa. Pulling her cock to the tip then slamming it back again to the base, both of them cried in overflowing pleasure. Jean did it continuously chasing her own climax.
"Jean... Jean~ too much..." Lisa sobbed, almost out of breath as she felt herself cumming again.
Desperate, Jean halted her movements, earning a loud groan from the witch.
"J-Jean why did you stop? I'm so near" Lisa whined but then Jean put down her leg and turned her around. Not wasting any seconds, she lifted Lisa and plunged her dick back into the sorcerer's pussy.
Lisa gasped as she circled her legs on her lover's waist and hugged her close. Jean slammed her dick deep yet slow inside Lisa's cunt, reaching the opening of her uterus.
Lisa, body crumbling on the immense sensation, pulled Jean into a passionate kiss. Both enjoyed the lazy thrusting Jean was doing. She did it a few many times before starting to quicken her pace again.
Lisa moaned in Jean's mouth before biting her lower lip. The knight groaned in pain but she didn't stop assaulting the mage's slit, driving both of them to heights they didn't know they would reach.
"Fuck, I'm cumming" Jean grunted as she fuck into Lisa's pussy in animalistic speed. Before she could even do it, Lisa let out the loudest cry Jean ever heard from her and she found it was music in her ears. Slick splashing every thrust she made as Lisa's body convulsed again violently, clamping and pulsating so hard on her rock hard shaft.
"Jeaaaan, Oh Archons, I'm dying Jean aaaahng!!" Lisa let out incoherent words Jean didn't mind, only focused on her approaching climax. With one thing only in mind and that was to fill Lisa up with her seed and plant it deep inside her core. Her body shivered on the thoughts running through her mind. The idea of owning every existence of the sorcerer. Consuming all of her. Taking her and only her to control and devour. She grunted as the pleasure spiked up to every root of her veins.
With one last thrust, Jean shoots out everything inside the sorcerer's pussy. Filling her up with her sticky cum as it bursted out, spilling down on Lisa’s folds for how huge the load Jean released inside her. It took her a good two minutes until she let out the last set of semen in her, quivering as soon as she finished.
Both of them pants, catching their breaths while their chests were pressed together, feeling their own heartbeats pounding loudly and fast because of the extraneous activity they did. Jean rested her head on Lisa's shoulder, enjoying the proximity that they had.
Regaining her composure back, Lisa stared blankly in the direction where they were connected. White fluid dripping out of her vagina.
"Jean..." she called out and earned a tired hum from the knight.
"You're aware of what you had just done, yes?" Jean let out another hum as she kissed the wizard's shoulder.
"Don't just hum on me, Gunnhildr" Lisa's voice threateningly low.
"Uh... Yes?" Jean straightened her body, facing her lover, menace plastered on her face. Jean's forehead creased in confusion making Lisa raise a brow, looking down then looking back at her. Jean followed the mage's gaze only to witness what mess she had made, realization hitting her like a ruin guard combo punch.
"Y-You... You're taking that pill Albedo made right?" Jean nervously chuckled, the domineering energy was long gone.
"You think I did when you come barging in here and plunging that stupid dick of yours in me unannounced?" Lisa huffed. It was her turn to be mad.
Normally, intimate activities between them were planned and it included taking the pill Albedo made that successfully approved to be legally sold to the pharmacy. Thanks to Albedo, couples could engage in some steamy pursuit without the fear of getting a baby in the next few months.
But what they did was just unexpected as hell and Jean couldn't help but break into cold sweats. She glanced at Lisa only to see her staring blankly as if lost in her thoughts.
“Lisa… I’m sorry… I… I don’t know what’s happening to me either…” Jean started, dropping her head back to the sorcerer’s shoulder, the only time she ever felt so helpless.
“I… fuck! I hate it!” Lisa's eyes widened by Jean’s sudden outburst. “I hate what you are doing to me. I hate that you don’t show up anymore at my office to convince me to take a break. I hate that you stopped asking me if I ever had a good day like you usually do for me everyday. You don’t even stay at my office anymore at night and you’re always busy whenever I seek for you. You changed. Why are you being so cold to me? As if you don’t love me anymore…” Lisa panicked as she felt her shoulder getting soaked with the tears of the knight. Again, emotion that she didn't usually show to others.
“Is it because of that pirate? Do you like her so much that you’re willing to leave me?” Jean whined like a baby which Lisa found amusing as if she was seeing the teenager Jean again. Less confident and insecure about herself. Lisa had always thought that Jean matured really well since then, but seeing her now, she could only chuckle silently for realizing that she was still the same person she loved back then. Hiding it all with her calm and collected demeanor, forcing herself to grow for the sake of her nation and letting go of her youth for she was given a heavy responsibility that back then she thought a pristine young Jean wouldn't take but alas, a blood of Gunnhildr was flowing through her veins so better expect the unexpected.
Lisa wanted to pat her back and comfort her lover but then she started speaking again. “Lisa, I know I am hard to deal with sometimes and I oftenly neglect your affection but I could swear to Barbatos and stake my life that I will only love you and no one but you until my last breath. So please… stay with me…” Jean sobbed hardly and Lisa could swear her heart skipped a beat at the statement, her heart aching with regrets.
I guess I’ve gone too far… I’m such a terrible lover.
“Jean…” she whispered to the anemo knight. “I will never leave you” Lisa stated as she hugged the latter. “I’m sorry for treating you differently the past few days without thinking that it’s taking a toll on you. I’m such a terrible partner.” Lisa added as she showered Jean kisses on her head.
“Don’t apologize. I should be the one saying sorry for my disgraceful behavior to you. You can expect for this to not happen again.” Jean said, still snuggling on Lisa’s neck, afraid to show her face to the latter.
“I see then… what you did was very surprising but I will forgive you… now… show me your face…” Lisa said, smiling widely. Jean didn’t budge but that didn't stop Lisa from lifting the knight’s head and forcing her to face her.
“Pfft!” Lisa burst into laughter as soon as she saw the anemo wielder’s face. Holding both sides of her cheeks to have a great view of her puffy eyes, nose and her cheeks that were all in a shade of red. “Jean, you’re such a baby”
“Are you sure? You’re not angry anymore?” Jean pouted and Lisa couldn’t help but to melt on how cute the knight was acting.
How can she be freaking adorable when she just pounded me like a lunatic a moment ago and her cock was still deep in me.
Lisa let out a chuckle as she pressed a gentle kiss on the knight’s lips. “Oh Jean… if intruding here and pounding me with that offensive dick of yours was your version of telling me you're jealous… not to forget that you want to impregnate me… then… there’s no point in getting angry…” Jean blushed as she heard what the sorcerer said.
“I… I am not… jealous!” Jean denied shamelessly as blood spread out her whole face.
“Really?... then it’s okay for me to hangout with Beidou?” Jean’s face quickly contorted into frown as she made a low growl.
“Hmm… to be honest, if I am single right now… I wouldn't even hesitate to date her…” Lisa continued to poke fun at her lover but that was a wrong decision to choose. She was about to open her mouth but Jean thrusted up that instead of words, a moan elicited from her mouth but it was sealed close by the knight's lips as soon as Jean began to move steadily. Lisa latched on the anemo holder’s neck as she battled her tongue with the latter. Jean resumed plunging her recharged rod, hard and lively again into her favorite wet, heated and packed cavern.
Lisa pulled away from the kiss just to moan out loud her pleasure, leaning back when Jean’s tip hit the right spot. The knight brought her lips to the sorcerer’s exposed neck and started sucking and biting on it hardly.
“Jean…! Haah…” Lisa was at it again, blurting out words Jean could only care less. She pulled back to observe the masterpiece she had done on the wizard’s neck. A marking that would reveal to the whole world that Lisa was hers. Only hers.
“Lisa Minci, you’re mine and only mine. No one can have you, especially that infuriating pirate!” Jean growled as she slammed herself deeper inside her at every word she wanted to emphasize.
Lisa could only swim in overflowing pleasure as she attended to the blonde knight's declaration. She was starting to love Jean’s possessiveness and she wished she would see it more.
Jean brought her thumb to Lisa’s sore clit and proceeded to rub it the same pace her shaft was rubbing her hot flesh and the electro mage could only helplessly roll her eyes up and wailed at the pleasure.
“Jean, I'm coming again!!” Lisa warned as she clenched on Jean, body cramping so hard as she orgasms beautifully. Jean, on the other side, released strings of cum inside her just after she climaxed for another time.
Panting heavily, Lisa looked at her lover in daze as if she was about to pass out.
“You really want to knock me out huh… I’m sure you successfully did it this time” Lisa giggled as she slumped her whole body towards the knight. “What am I going to do now…”
“Keep it”’ Jean uttered as she claimed Lisa’s lips again.
“Oh… how confident of you to say that…” Lisa answered, a little intrigued at the knight’s answer. “Aren’t you too busy for another responsibility?” she added. “Unless… you let me take all of it-”
“NO!” Jean retaliated.
“Hmm… then how Jean? How sure of you that keeping this is a good idea” Lisa was now serious.
“I… I will be a good parent for her or him… I will carry the responsibility with you so she or he could grow up kind, smart and elegant like you and… aren’t having kids a good idea? I think it’s just the right time for both of us…” Jean locked eyes with Lisa, trying to prove that she was sincere and that she meant everything she was saying but the slight raised of Lisa’s eyebrows could easily make her flustered.
Looking away with a blush, she scratched the back of her head before continuing. "It's not like I'm disregarding your decision on this, your choice will still matter the most but… won't be a little version of me will make you less sad whenever you feel alone and I'm not there with you…?" Jean said, avoiding eye contact with the lady in front of her.
"Jean, you…" Lisa's eyes started to water.
Did she just…
She hugged Jean tightly as she started sobbing. She only ever felt this pure love from Jean and she couldn't help but cry in delight.
She was the one who promised to always understand her and be there to support her no matter what. It is such a shame that Lisa couldn't stop herself from being upset about her selfish desire when Jean was trying her best to be there even when she was already dealing with a tough obligation and now she was even willing to raise a child just so Lisa wouldn't feel lonely anymore. All this time, Jean was thinking about her feelings but she was too stupid to ever feel sour just because she hadn't got to drink a coffee with her.
"Thank you Jean… I'm so sorry" Lisa wailed as Jean hugged her closer.
"Me too…"
After a while, exhaustion overcame them. Too tired to even speak, Jean carried Lisa towards their bedroom. Thankfully, Jean's office and Lisa's library have separate doorways to their room upstairs, saving them from the troubles of cleaning up but Lisa, use all her remaining energy so she could seal both the doors with her power, creating a sign 'Under Maintenance' on it.
As they laid together tangled at each other. Lisa could only nuzzle on her lover's chest between her warm arms. Just moments like this were enough to make her feel complete and so she swore to Celestia that she will never ask for more than her lover's existence.
She closed her eyes and let herself doze into dreamland, saving a lot of explaining to do for the next day, not mentioning if she would tell Jean that she indeed was taking a pill continuously since a week ago and that there's no way she would get pregnant. Unfortunately.
