“xiao, where are you?”
you mused at the dawnest of day at the top floor of the inn, recently coming back from accompanying the geo archon. where is he?
taking a few more steps outside, a jade spear was immediately pointed back to your throat, breath hitching in. the adeptus raised his eyebrows in shock. “it’s me.” sheepishly smiling at him, his stern expression lightened, with a wave of his hand, the polearm dissapeared into thin air, his amber eyes gestured towards yours to follow him that you obliged.
sitting in a bench, you slid beside him. “you have been gone throughout the day.” xiao mumbled, wait, are his cheeks puffing?
“i’m sorry, zhongli asked for more helped than i thought.” rubbing a hand behind the nape of your neck, he crossed his arms, looking away from your face. “xiao, are you jealous?”
“why would i feel such human emotion?” there was venom in his tone of voice, regretting soon after that he sounded harsher. “it’s alright, i should have informed you more earlier.” laughing guiltily, he shouldn’t have said that, xiao frowned more to himself.
“is there something i can do to make up with you?” you asked, looking at his side profile, causing him to look at your way again, staring towards your form, amber eyes deep into thought, slowly getting nervous from the way he is looking. “i can do anything, just maybe like something i can hand-”
the words died when he suddenly lied his head to your lap, cheeks reddening at his sudden action. “i-is that all?” still shocked on what he did. “what, this isn’t enough for you?”
“nono, this is completely fine.” he smirked upwards at your blushing face, lifting a hand up to brush some few messy strands of your hair, tucking it behind your ear, swiftly moving his hand to the back of your neck. xiao gently pushed it until both of your lips were a centimeter apart, breathing in synchronization,
xiao lifted his face up, until he feels like his hair is being tugged at.
“your hair is so soft.”
his amber eyes grown big for a bit, drifting towards from your face to the palm of your hand that sits atop of his hair, surprised, before returning back to it’s normal neutral expression. “yours is soft too.”
“it’s the most softest thing i have ever touch in all of teyvat!” you argued back, leaving him no room to rebut, only sighing helplessly, fingers massaging the scalp of his hair, letting out a sound you had never heard before.
it sounded as if he purred like a cat, you decided to test something, moving your hand away to see if he would react. xiao noticed this, grabbing hold of your wrist wordlessly, returning back to it’s previous position. he likes it?
though his eyes are closed, you smiled at him, continuing to massage, running through his black and dark green hair as he hummed, turning sideways to face your stomach, he let’s out low snoring sounds.
you had never saw this man sleep nor rest from knowing him so long, though you were glad at this very moment. xiao has always been on the lookout from any trouble that is to happen in the harbour due to his contract with morax.
not long after, you whispered something to him, as your eyes closed, his irises half-lidded, took hold of the hand that was on his hold, bringing it to his lips to apply a soft kiss on the back of your palm.
“I love you too.”
