Beyond Work Hours | Yelan x FReader | Genshin Impact Fanfic

Red and Blue |9|

Work went by quite well.

Today was a Sunday, it was one a free day from Yelan work, and day off from dock work.

Y/N decided to go shopping, lately her office, felt as if it lacked her personal charm. She had cleaned most of the old stuff, but now her office is empty. Her plan was to buy furniture and decorations, make it, not boring. (I can't relate)

Liyue, being the harbour it is has a lot to offer, thankfully. She also had an advantage, due to her work.

Y/N started looking around, a lot of the furniture, were new and charming.

Among the things she wanted to get was a new couch. The blue velvet couch in the office was indeed quite beautiful, but it was practically ripped, and destroyed.

A new lamp, or any light source really. Working at night was a hassle, the moon was night, but with a broken lamp, it was quite a hassle.

The old desk will do, maybe a repair or varnish, it was quite a charmer. It was still stable and usable, the material used was quite sturdy.

Like a certain blue black haired bos-

Perhaps some shelf for storage, a rug some plants, maybe a tea set. A tea set, that would be nice. Perhaps she could invite yelan over for some tea sometime.

While finalizing the shopping the individual ran across something... interesting

"Excuse me sir, what is that"

She pointed at what seemed to be a red box, from sort of red wodded tree, with all sorts of carvings, and gold accents it was quite big... and it drew her in

"Is it a music box?"

The old man turned over and laughed

"Haha, it would be a nice one, no?" Y/N looked at the man confused. "It's actually a diary holder"

She took in what the man said and placed her hand on her chin, curiously tilting her head

"Really?"

"Yes indeed young lady" the old man then opened the box inside of it was this beautiful red book, one that complimented the red wooden box. It perfectly fitted into the space. "It's more of a scared book holder, but from what I've heard, even the deepest and darkest of secrets can not be found out if you keep them in here:

"Really? Sounds sort of foolish"

"Haha! Indeed I agree, but I believe that this diary holder has something else to it"

Y/N looked at it she was so drawn to it for some reason, perhaps it was the red color...

"The diary book comes with it!"

The old man said

"Ok then, I can't help but take in its charm, I'll take it!"

"Great!" The old man handed to her and winked. "I think you'll enjoy it"

Later

Y/N's Pov

It was around sunset, I decided to fill up my office, even if I wasn't supposed to be here. There was no harm with fixing everything

Unfortunately all the couches being sold at the market, we're mostly worn-out and used. I don't mind second hand items, but all of then were so dirty and blemished.

So no couch for now...

I honestly didn't really mind, it was not like I used the couch, although yelan said if I meet with any clients that's where they'd be sitting.

I blue color, reminded me of yelan, perhaps it was a bit of her touch to this office. Maybe I should get it repaired instead of buying a new one

I decided where I wanted everything to go, just tweaking the layout a bit.

The plants I had bought layer in front me, I had a line up of few. Some succulents, some longer leafed ones, an tiny potted bunch of silk flowers.

Looking at the different pieces of the shelf, I layer all the different pieces down. My hand searched for tools. Though most of the shelf were already assembled, there was this one that came in 'self assembly'. What a hassle

I finished placing the shelf after a couple of mintues. Now I have an empty shelf, I guess I'll fill it along the journey

The shelf wasn't the only thing empty. My desk was too so I took out a tiny lamp, a couple book holders, some stationary materials, a tiny plant, the diary holder...

I don't know why but I felt so drawn to it, it was as if it was pulling me to it...

"I didn't expect to see you here"

I immediately knew who it was, I turned in excitement

"Well, this place needs a touch, yelan"

The other voice chuckled as her image became clearer under the seeping moonlight

"And here I was worried you were a workacoholic" Yelan walked closer, and looked around the room. "I like what you've done with the place"

"I hope you don't mind me being here during a non work day"

I said dusting a couple of the stuff on my desk

"It was a bit of a turn off..." Yelan said "but if you're here for more personal reasons I don't mind"

Yelan made her way onto the desk area. Leaning on my table, taking in the changes I made

"I like the personal touch around here, makes it feel..."

Her tongue clicked, trying to find the word to describe it

"Not like an office?"

Yelan chuckled at my remark

"Yeah, like that" She said smirking "though I think the description I was looking for was homey"

I simply let out a sigh and continued to clean, making my way to the royal blue couch. The blue truly reminded me of yelan.. perhaps its her hair, her clothes, or maybe her aura?

"Pretty neat stuff you got" yelan then noticed me by the couch. "Didn't find a replacement for that?"

"All the couches and sofas being sold were, not quite it"

"You know?"

Yelan said and nodded, she looked over to my hand, her gaze passed it by. But I didn't pick it up

"How's your hand?"

I turn at the taller female confused, then I remembered that I cut it a couple days back

"It's alright, it's healing, somewhat"

Yelan simply hummed, somewhat acknowledging my response, her eyes started to run to the side. The desk she was leaning on, had many different trinquents that I had bought. Though somehow something caught her eye, she couldn't describe it, but it reminded her of me..

A red wooden box..

The diary holder

S/ hi guys, been a while, how are yall? 🤔
