Genshin oneshots~ PART 3

Guns n' Roses [Navia x Clorinde]

"I'll go make some tea for us... meanwhile you can go looking for places to stay" I slide my laptop over to Navia as she begins her search, I stood up and walked into the kitchen. A few weeks ago before the wedding, Navia had purchased two mugs with 'I love my wife' printed on the sides from our local furniture store. It's cheesy... but also kind of cute coming from her. I place two chamomile tea bags inside before pouring the boiling water over them, the soothing scent clouds the air as the vapour tickles my chin.

Navia POV: 

I balance one of my blonde curly locks between my nose and upper lip as I looked through the options online, I found a traditional apartment that's very close to the Tokyo Skytree that had a pretty reasonable price, there were tatami mats and futons provided. Additionally, it was also a two minute walk from the train station, which is super convenient! I added it to my list as I began looking for places in Osaka. Ever since I was a kid, I really wanted to try on one of those beautiful Japanese kimonos... or maybe a yukata since it's going to be relatively warm... wouldn't it be just divine to finally have that wish alongside my new wife? I'm just honestly so glad that it's happening! "How's it going?" Clorinde places down a nice hot mug of tea next to me, I smirked. "Loving the cup?" I ask as she huffs, "I can't say I dislike them" she looks over my shoulder. "Oh... an Abeno house? The price is quite cheap..." she comments, "yeah I think it looks pretty cute! It's also a pretty close walk to the station and the owner provides coffee sachets, snacks, and plastic bags" Clorinde nods and raises her eyebrows which I take as a cue to book the Abeno house. Half an hour later, the two of us came up with a detailed plan on what exactly we will be doing during the 3 weeks, we also pre-booked all of the activities we will be doing (which includes a travel group tour of the area around Mt Fuji!). "Hm... should we buy the JR ticket pass for 7, 14, or 28 days?" she asks, my eyebrows furrowed. "I don't think we should buy the pass because it's not guaranteed that we'll be using the JR company throughout our entire trip... and the price is slightly better if we purchase it there" I did some mental maths as Clorinde also notes that down. 

"Let's take a break" she announces as the laptop lid dips down, I quickly agree with her statement as I pulled her onto my lap. I nuzzle my nose into her neck, inhaling her gentle floral scent. "You spray on the perfect amount of perfume y'know" I murmured, "according to my research... you shouldn't wear perfumes that are too strong, you should only be able to smell the perfume if you get right up close to that person and you're literally the example right now" Clorinde allows herself to laugh as she leans back into me. "You're way too invested in this" she kisses my temple causing my heart to flutter. 

Clorinde POV: 

Three weeks later, the two of us parked our car in the long term parking area before taking the bus to the international airport. "I'm so excited honey!" Navia exclaims as she squeezes her bright yellow suitcase between her legs, "I am as well... I've also practised a few basic Japanese phrases just in case" I added. "Wait really?!" Navia suddenly leans in with wide eyes, "don't get too excited... my pronunciation probably isn't the best" I gently push her away as she pouts. "You'll definitely sound like a native!" I knew it was definitely not a good idea to start debating on that since she'll never let me hear the end of it, "sure" the bus makes a gentle halt as the doors slide open. "Thanks" I call to the driver as I stepped onto the platform, the blonde haired girl following closely behind. *kkkklllll* The wheels glide across the concrete as the two of us stepped into the warm interior of the airport, "lets check in! I want to press all the icons!" Navia insists, "be my guest" I turn around so she could get the printed e-tickets out of my backpack.

After checking in and going through the security process, the two of us head towards the lounge. "Isn't it great that I'm a VIP in the star alliance system?" her expression is smug as we stepped through the glass doors into the cosy waiting area. The smell of creamy pumpkin soup lingered in the air as plates full of snacks, salads, pastries, and warm foods. "Mm... I suppose that is nice... you go grab us some seats, I'll go get the food" Navia takes my dark purple suitcase before heading towards the huge glass windows, the planes slowly getting ready for the coming flights. I picked up two plates and some cutlery before scanning through the options, 'I definitely crave some of that pumpkin soup...' I think to myself as I head there first. I balanced two bowls on the plates as I scooped the creamy light orange soup into the bowls, filling them 3/4 full before scooping out some pumpkin chunks. Then, I pick out some blue macarons, spaghetti, and garden salad before drizzling some olive oil over the top of the salad. I headed towards Navia and placed the food down, "wait for me... I'm going to get us some wine" I watched Navia's eyes practically gleam as soon as she saw the food. "Hurry!" she called after me as a scoff slipped out of my lips.
