Xiao Crush/Relationship Headcanons

  • Xiao won’t really see his little crush at first.
  • Without thinking, he’ll be a little bit warmer towards you.
  • Nothing huge, but he’ll let you stick around him and his words will have a little less bite to them.
  • It won’t take long for him to notice his favoritism towards you though.
  • Once he does, he’ll try to push you away a little bit.
  • But also wants you keep you close.
  • His words will start becoming more frigid than before and he’ll imply that he really doesn’t care.
  • But his actions say otherwise.
  • The moment you’re in trouble, he’s there, taking care of whatever it is.
  • If you need help, he’s there in a heartbeat.
  • Should you mention this to him though, he’ll deny it, completely straight faced.
  • Still, given time, he’ll realize that he can’t stand your hurt look when he pushes you away.
  • Before long, he’ll start letting you in a bit, allowing you to draw closer.
  • He’ll also scold you quite a bit, especially when you take risks.
  • Xiao refuses to do it to the point of nagging, but he still worries, in his own way.
  • If you ever try to make him almond tofu, he’ll be taken off guard.
  • It makes him feel a strange warmth inside and he’s not sure how to process it.
  • On the outside, his eyes will flick between you and the tofu without much emotion.
  • But on the inside, he’s really happy.
  • Pls make him almond tofu.
  • If you give him any form of affection, his response will probably be to just take it without much of a response.
  • But once in a blue moon, he might awkwardly give you some in return.
  • He’ll be very hesitant, so don’t expect much at this point.
  • Eventually, with much encouragement from Verr Goldet, Xiao will confess.
  • It will most definitely be somewhere far away from prying ears, likely the roof of Wangshu Inn.
  • The confession itself will be simple and direct, although given with a slight blush.
  • When you let him know that you return these feelings, his eyes will widen, just a bit.
  • He’s surprised, but also… happy that you care for him too.
  • Xiao worries about you being close to him, but seeing your smile dispels any thoughts of pushing you away again.
  • At first, Xiao won’t really try to give you affection himself.
  • He doesn’t quite understand it.
  • You’ll need to be the one to reach out to him with it.
  • Given time, he’ll start to reciprocate.
  • He’ll start by hesitantly giving you head pats.
  • It was probably when you weren’t really feeling good.
  • He just didn’t know what to do, so awkwardly started patting your head.
  • You almost died inside.
  • From happiness.
  • Another thing he might do is hand-holding.
  • He probably first did it when in a crowd, so that he doesn’t lose you.
  • Then, he realized that he enjoyed this form of closeness and will slowly do it more often.
  • Should you ever mention it though, he’ll probably come up with an obviously fake excuse.
  • He’s a terrible liar.
  • Anything like dates will probably be very much impromptu.
  • Life as a yaksha is quite demanding of his time, he simply goes when he’s needed.
  • So when he actually has a moment for once, he’ll want to spend it with you.
