(On Hold) The Snezhnaya Traveler

Chapter 5

On the next day, Y/N woke up from his bed due to the sunlight hitting his face causing him to groaned. He got up from his comfortable bed and dragged his feet to the bathroom. He took a quick bath before getting dressed up in his usual outfit and face mask. He then walk out of his rented apartment and begins walking towards the Knights of Favonius Headquarters. While on the way towards the headquarters, he passed by multiple Knights who salutes at him as he passed by them while giving a nod back. Once he arrived at headquarters, Kaeya said her good morning to him while saying a subtle flirt at him which he playfully flirts back and said his good morning before entering his office. Conveniently, his office is in fact the Acting Grand Master's office or to Y/N "Jean's office". As per usual, Jean is already there with a huge stack of paperwork on her table. He sigh and shook his head knowing how much of a workaholic she is before thinking about sparing her from her addiction. He grabs a chair and sit down beside her. He then grabs one paper from the stack and begins signing it which causes Jean to finally notice him. She look at him bewildered

Jean: Y/N?! Dear Archon, you scared me...

You: Good morning to you too, Jean

Jean: M-Morning... You don't have to do this, I can do it myself

You: Hehe. I can't let a lady work with all of these stack of papers even if I have very little understanding of the contents, I will help you no matter what. Why don't you rest up a bit, eh? You can use my shoulder to rest your head

Jean: T-That won't be necessary!

You: Nonsense, I'm only looking out for you, Jean

Jean look at him unbelievable at what she just heard. He was looking out for her which caused butterflies in her stomach

Jean:...Fine... I'll take your word for it

He nodded before reading the contents on the paper in his hands. Jean hesitate for a moment before moving her chair closer to him and lean onto his shoulder

Jean: (Y/N certainly cares about me so much and was willing to do my work for me just to have me to take a break from work- Wait a minute, is that coffee?)

She saw a coffee mug on her table with her name on a notepad

Jean: (He even made coffee for me! He's such a keeper! I...)

She look up at him with a faint blush on her cheeks

Jean: (I think... I have fallen for him)

Y/N didn't feel any weight on his shoulder anymore look down at Jean

You: Jean-

Jean puts a finger on his mask stopping him from speaking

Jean: Y-Y/N. Can you...be honest with me?

She look at him asking him to be really honest with her to which he nodded understanding the situation

Jean: What do you think of me?

You: I think of you as a wonderful woman who is doing her best at leading her people while helping them out with even the smallest of errands in their daily lives

She look pleased to hear him say those words

Jean: Y/N...I-I like you. W-would you like to go out with me?

She waited for his answer even though she might get rejected but this is her first time confessing to someone

You: Hehe. I think it's pretty obvious of what my answer will be Jean. Yes, I like you too. And of course I would love to go out with you

Jean was very happy to hear that from Y/N and hug his arm with a blush on her face while Y/N had an amusing smile behind his mask

You: Where'd this shy Jean come from?
