Genshin: S/o is a mute fatui part 2 (Xiao) part 1 is that one!

• Managing to catch Xiao‘s attention wasn’t that hard because one, you’re a fatui, and two, you couldn’t talk like most other people.
• which peaked his curiosity and skepticism.
• However, since you did nothing to the inno citizens of Liyue, and you only , ahem, deal with the “corrupted” people,
• you were fine on Xiao’s books
• but now he’s sitting alone on the roof of the inn, waiting for your arrival.
• You had been recently sent back to Snezhnaya for updates as well as Childe asking you to report to him constantly,
• Xiao couldn’t help but feel a bit… lonely.
• But, that was to be expected right? He’s always been alone in Liyue any other time before you came.
• He never explicitly felt lonely.
• Why is he only feeling it now?
• Deep in thought, he hadn’t notice you coming up from behind him.
• Until…. a plank creak and he look behind. Damnit.
• “ You came back. Here.” He handed you a plate of almond tofu.
• “ Verr made 2 plates. So I’ll give you 1.”
• You just nodded, as you toss your gear to one side and gratefully took the plate.
• Look, being in the fatui is tiring alright??
• As you ate it whole heartedly, Xiao stared at you , mix emotions stirred in his head.
• Why does he feel lonely without you? Why is he so clingy towards you? Hasn’t he told himself to remain a distance away from a fatui such as yourself?
• He never had a problem with Childe, so why only with you?
• On another day, planned on going to find commissions, and randomly decided to bring Xiao along (also because you’re lazy to write on notepads 24/7 to communicate-)
• Xiao didn’t skipped a bit and offered to help.
• Why you were packing your things, Xiao‘s breathing hitched a little. Why did he want to help you? With no hesitation??
• His heart tightened as he thought.
• Anytime you were around, he felt the weight on his shoulders suddenly lifted.
• He felt a lot safer with you, despite your position and status.
• Your muteness was something he much appreciated, he needed that quietness to just calm down and think properly.
• This fact was going against his own past attitude; he rather be alone, and doesn‘t care if someone is quiet. He wanted time for himself.
• Why was he slowly becoming more and more attached to you?
• You were a fatui, he can’t possibly be that close.
  He promised himself to keep your relationship distant and professional, so why does he yearn for your company? The silent conversations you have together?
• He had a storm of questions in his head, so he finally gave up and went to consult with Verr.
• She smiled, giggled, “You’re in love with, s/o, Xiao.”
