Detectable Rivalry~ Heizou x fem!reader

⁂ Profound Attracton ⁂

Your eyes fluttered open and you felt a secure arm around your shoulder. Looking up, you saw Heizou looking over the horizon. 'Goodmorning~' He looked down at you and smiled. You noticed that the large blanket which surrounded you wasn't even draped over his shoulder. As if he wanted to make sure you stayed warm. Picking up one corner, you wrapped it over his head, pulling him into a hug. 'It's the middle of december, you can't freeze yourself to death, not on my watch.' You said, sternly. He managed to peek his head out, shaking his head but laughing.

'cmon, pal, we've got work to do' You stood up while Heizou did a dramatic gasp. 'Wow..friend zoning me twice..after everything i did..' He smirks while his eyes met yours. 'for your information, i did not friend zone you.'
'Yes you did~'
'when.' You replied, trying to act cool and place your hands on your hips. 'You said, and i quote' He used his fingers to hold up quotation marks. 'He's a friend. He's not as close as you are, alright?' You shook your head, rolling your eyes sarcastically. 'Boom. Friend. Zoned.' Heizou smirked even more, looking up to you.
'That's not something to brag about.' You replied. 'come onnn, get upppp' You grasped his hands and tried to pull him up. He just went limp and let you struggle. 'Fine. Fine, fine fine. you can find a new partner to work with.' And with that you quickly walked off, laughing at Heizou as he grabbed the blanket and came running after you.

'Hey! Don't threaten me with that' He narrowed his eyes at you. 'It worked though~' You sang, facing him and walking backwards.
'we can make a deal. If i get home before you, you can get a new partner. If not, you're stuck with me for the rest of your life baby' You bit the inside of your lip, trying not to blush. Heizou just smiled at you. 'Oh it's on.' You managed to compose yourself. Heizou had the blanket, it would be harder to run without your arms free, right?

You prayed he would win, but your pride took the best of you.

Just as you were about to start running, Heizou  walked towards you. And then the unexpected happened.
He leans forwards and kisses your left cheek, before running off towards your home.

You just stool still.

You remembered every detail from last night, but weren't sure weather it was a heat-of-the-moment kinda thing.

Stunned, you looked over to where he was running and saw him nearing the house. You weren't going to win, you didn't want to, but you wanted to show that he couldn't distract you that easily.

He could.

You sprinted off, your legs regaining consciousness. 'UNFAIR!' You shouted. He was already at the front door, grinning at you. 'It worked though' You just rolled your eyes and tried to push past him. 'Hey! I won, i get to go in first.' You crossed your arms and cocked out your hip. 'such a child' you whispered.
'ew, that makes you a pedophile.' Heizou poked your shoulder. 'HEY, NO. SHUT UP.' You shouted. 'Awe, come on, lets get working.' He took your hand and pulled you inside.

Looking through the files, you saw a case about a stolen necklace. It was a pretty old, meaning it was probably from before the Vision Hunt decree.

Scanning the paper, three words stuck out to you the most. Liyue. 30 million mora.

This was a pricey necklace.

'Heizou! We have to do this one, take a look!'

The case revolved around a missing necklace, not too big a deal.

Until you saw who's necklace it was. 'Lady Ningguang'

Your mouth dropped open, making Heizou give you a confused look. 'Who is that?' He pointed to her name. You stuttered out a reply. 'Only like the most important person in Liyue. I met her once when i was studying.' He nodded to your every word. 'We have to take this one up. We can go to Liyue. Pleaseeee' You groaned to him, giving him puppy dog eyes. He smiled. 'It's not like i would have said no anyways, but of course. We can go to the station and get the debrief on how to leave Inazuma.'

After meeting with the commanding officers, they took you to a ship. A woman with brown hair and red attire stepped out to greet you.

'I'm Beidou, i'll be your captain.' She gave a flirty smile to you, before looking at Heizou.

The two of you were leaving later today, you still needed to pack. 'Just meet here at 7pm, i'll give a debrief once you have come back.' The woman towered over you. You nodded and smiled, before both Heizou and you left to pack.

'So, do they have dango in Liyue?' Heizou asked as you walked off. 'Unfortunately, no' You gave a pouting face. 'WHAT?' Heizou stopped dead in his tracks. 'Yeah, they have good stuff though! I'll have to show you it all.' You dragged him forward.

It had been a while since you went to Liyue. You didn't make many friends, except for one pink-haired girl named Yanfei. She was taking law at the same school as you, so naturally, you drifted.

Placing your bag over your shoulder, you checked up on Heizou. 'Are you ready?' You asked through the door. You went to open it, the door flung open and it felt as if you ran straight into a wall. You fell backwards with a crash. Bursting into laughter, Heizou took a step back. Looking upwards, you saw that you ran straight into him. 'Hey! That hurt' You groaned, wiping your forehead. 'You just missed me so much that you ran into my harms so hard, you fell for me.' He sang.
'No i did not.' You replied, leaning on your shoulders. Heizou crouched down and narrowed his eyes. 'I mean, you did.' He stood up and ruffled your hair.
