"Y/N, happy birthday"

Said Qiqi as monotonous as ever.

Y/N blinked a couple times.

Her birthday?

Already?

"Qiqi made sure to write it down and look at it every day because it was important to you" she said rubbing her hair.

Tears brimmed at Y/N's E/C eyes as she snatched Qiqi into her arms.

"Qiqi you sweet little girl!" She squealed.

"Yes happy birthday Y/N" smiled Baizhu as did Changsheng.

"I was thinking a celebration dinner tonight" Baizhu said.

"Great idea" Y/N smiled twirling Qiqi around.

Y/N set down the little zombie and turned to Baizhu and Changsheng.

Qiqi tugged on her dress and handed her a small cup.

"It's coconut milk since the cocogoat doesnt exist, it's  Qiqi's favorite" she said as Y/N took a sip of the white milk.

She wasn't fond of coconut milk but for Qiqi she would do anything.

"Why don't you take Qiqi into the city while I finish up things here at the pharmacy" Baizhu smiled pushing the two out of the store.

"Where too?" Y/N asked placing Qiqi on her shoulders.

"Boats" Qiqi pointed at the dock.

Y/N nodded and the two set off for the docks.

"Y/N? What are you doing?" Asked a curious Zhongli who tagged along.

"It's my birthday" she smiled.

"Oh, happy birthday then" he said dumbfounded.

Y/N smiled and reached up to poke his cheek.

"Wanna come with us?" She asked.

"I would love to" Zhongli answered grabbing hold of her hand.

Y/N's smile got bigger as she imagined the three of them being like family.

And Baizhu the old greedy grandpa.

And Childe being the hot cousin.

"What a birthday" Y/N chuckled to herself.

"Hey you two! You guys didn't even think to invite me" Childe pouted.

"Oh right" Y/N smiled nervously.

"Happy birthday Y/N" Childe laughed and pulled at her cheeks.

•••

"Wow look at all this food!" Childe marveled at the meal.

"Baizhu always does this, then we have so many leftovers" Qiqi sighed.

The 5 of them began to dig into the full course meal but Childe was having a small dilemma.

"Childe give me the chop sticks" Y/N sighed.

She tied the ends together with a string and slid a small piece of wood in between them creating a pair of children's chopsticks s

"There, now try" she said.

Never before had she thought she would have to make children's chopsticks for a grown man but here we are.

"Where did you learn to do that?" Zhongli questioned.

"I taught Qiqi how to use them" she smiled.

A sudden ache caused Y/N's vision to go blurry.

"Y/N, what are you staring at?" Zhongli asked shaking the girl.

"Huh? Oh nothing" she laughed at herself.

Zhongli shrugged and slid a hand down Y/N's back causing her to shiver.

She looked up at him blushing furiously but he just winked and held a finger up to his mouth.

"Let's play a little game"
