the modern!xiao agenda continues

• xiao kinda seems like he’d either play guitar (electric, acoustic, bass, ukelele, doesn’t matter) or piano.. idk, i just feel like he has the hands for it
• if he plays bass, he’ll probably sit on top of the amp and lazily pluck out bass lines from famous songs
• OH MY GOD, BASS PLAYER XIAO WITH THIS SONG.
• carrying out casual conversation while he mindlessly switches up songs
• don’t ask why i think xiao is a musical prodigy, he just is, okay?
• modern best friend xiao who has his gallery filled with the most embarrassing photos of you
• they’re all taken in the dark with the flash on, and most of them are so unflattering
• he’ll threaten to post them whenever you annoy him, but he’d never actually do it. those are precious to him
• modern best friend xiao who asks you to help him re-dye his hair
• the process was going well until you accidentally got some on his neck
• he was joking when he blamed you for it, but you purposely put some more on his skin
• …and now there’s teal all over the bathroom sink. that’s not coming out for a while.
• modern best friend xiao who has the gentlest touch
• he can’t style hair to save his life, but if you ever have braids that you want to take out, or you want to take your hair out of a complicated style, xiao’s the best person to ask
• he’ll massage your scalp as he helps, and yes, he loves the little sighs of relief you give him
• modern best friend xiao who goes with you to conventions – anime conventions, comic conventions, etc.
• FANBOY XIAO FANBOY XIAO
• he’ll lie and say that this isn’t his kind of thing, but look at the way he lights up when he sees his favorite artist selling prints
• when he steps away to “use the bathroom” (he’s going to check out more stuff), please just buy him his favorite merch
• if you get him a charm, a t-shirt, a hat.. no matter what it is, he’ll cherish it
• modern best friend xiao who throws fries at you. don’t ask why, he just does.

“would you stop eating my fries? you have your own.”

“yours just look better.”

• and then he throws like, four of them at you.
• and lastly, modern best friend xiao who’s resigned himself to the fact that he’s probably going to harbor this one-sided love forever.
• it’d be a cold day in hell before he confesses and risks the chance of you rejecting him.
• so when you call him one night, gushing about the date you had with zhongli, he’ll listen and grunt out his responses just like always.
• you’re happy, so who cares?
