For a second, he had to stop and give Amy a kiss.

She was just so adorable he couldn't help himself.

"E-Eeeh?"

Yomite bit back his laughter when she jumped in shock and nearly bumped into him due to his action.

"...Y-You can't do that out of nowhere!" She pouted when he laughed.

"My mistake...I just feel like hugging you so much!" He explained calmly.

Her petite frame was incredibly adorable, small though she was, he felt a flutter in his heart whenever he looked at her.

He simply wanted to hold her close and never let her go.

Amy gently elbowed him softly and raised an eyebrow at him.

A light blush covered her cheeks, her light green irises sending messages to him without speaking aloud, yet he understood all too well.

The pair made their way to the area she spoke about earlier, where the cold spring was located.

It wasn't located inside of Liyue, but rather found itself nestled between two cliffs, almost invisible to the untrained eye.

They reached it quite easily, walking up a small set of steps.

The crystal at its center glittered silver, almost inviting a passerby to swim within the heart of the spring's beauty.

The wind taunted the waters below gently, creating beautiful ripples as they spread across the surface.

"We're here! This is the entrance."

"It looks pretty."

Yomite was fighting Childe in a location near this but had no idea something like this even existed here...

He grabbed Amy's hips and pulled her into him, kissing her softly once more.

"Y-Yomite, calm down!...please...?"

Her request was almost enough to break his self-control. The faintest hint of weakness appeared on her smooth pink lips.

"Don't worry, it's just my self-defense mechanism. I have to preventively hug and kiss you like this because you're so adorable." He chuckled when he placed one final kiss on her flushed cheek.

His warm scent suddenly enveloped Fischl as he proceeded to pull her further into his embrace.

She closed her eyes, losing herself within the moment.

Her hands pressed against his chest lightly, enjoying the feeling as she hummed.

Slowly the pair dissolved their embrace.

"I-I-I don't know how to think properly under these circumstances…! You can't just so that..."

Amy faintly giggled her voice laced with embarrassment, clearly the happiest person in the world at the time.

Her petite frame swayed side to side, trying to maintain balance despite her feelings of innocence.

She ran her fingers through her blonde hair, scratching her scalp nervously, her insides screaming that he should reach out to touch her, to comfort her in whatever manner he wanted...to hug her as long as he wanted...yet saying her wishes out loud was impossible...

"L-Let's enter the establishment first!" She announced quietly, placing a slight bend in her legs so that she could walk more straight without losing balance.

Yomite lowered his arms and motioned for her to proceed.

"Alright."

Once they entered the building, a woman in her thirties greeted them politely while providing directions to the showers available.

They took off their clothes as instructed, took a shower and changed into towels provided next to the changing rooms.

Of course, women and men were separated, the natural order of things.

Amy glanced at the woman behind the counter, whispering her something before the woman revealed a teasing grin, leaning forward.

"Of course! There's no one booked for the day, you'll be both all alone~" She gestured to the baths "Enjoy your time~"

Amy shyly thanked her and blushed. It seemed that the woman saw through her hidden intentions perfectly.

They eventually found their way to the bathing chamber together.

Both of them were wrapped in towels that covered their entire bodies.

"Why don't you go in first..." Amy stated softly, making sure to gaze downwards before fixing her eyes on the ground.

Yomite rubbed his chin lightly before nodding, "Sure."

He stepped into the water and sat down on top of a stone bench, letting the cold, soothing sensation seep into his skin.

He slowly closed his eyes and exhaled a deep breath, allowing himself to relax.

From there, his eyes drifted upwards until they fixed themselves upon Amy's pretty face.

She didn't wear an eye patch today, instead showing off the left side of her face beautifully.

Amy's face was naturally gorgeous, without cosmetics to add anything more special, revealing nothing less than what nature gave her: an adorable and a fair complexion, just like that of a doll.

The green orbs of hers almost resembled those of crystals, gazing at him intently.

And he couldn't deny that when faced with such a look of adoration, he could only stare back into those magnificent eyes.

"I-It's pretty cold..." She murmured, testing the temperature of the water with her toes, causing Yomite to chuckle

"I'm actually enjoying this cold spring, I had no idea something like this existed. Come, let me warm you up."

He moved closer to the surface, grabbing her by the waist gently and drawing her closer.

His arms reached out towards her, allowing her smaller form to rest upon his lap without fuss.

Her blond hair lay upon her shoulders as she turned her head slightly sideways, leaning her back against his chest.

Amy was comfortably resting on him, completely accepting what had come about naturally between them.

Even if they didn't share any sort of conversation, sitting so close to his groin like this would result in indecent thoughts being fired into his brain, and he could easily tell which direction that would likely go.

(She's so adorable...) He thought to himself before his arms encircled her slender waist gently, drawing her closer to his body as his fingertips brushed along her toned stomach which lay underneath the towel.
