Eternal || Xiao ||

Guilty as Charged

I have been avoiding Y/n for 3 days now. Well I say avoiding I mean keeping out of her sight.

She went with Dusky to see a flower. How silly, to be excited over a mere flower. Qingxin, I believe that's the name of the flower.

Y/n placed it behind their ear, the sun hit their eyes, and they smiled. It seemed for a moment time stoped. As though i was fighting a battle and saw my life flash before my eyes. But there was no danger for miles.

Dusky snapped me out of my daze "We have to show mister!" I quickly leave being sure to return to the Inn before them.

Yet i couldn't bring myself to talk to Y/n, insted i stood on the roof just above them.

"Whats bothering you Xiao? If you would let me know perhaps I could help.." I'm taken aback by the words that just left their lips. Y/n looked out onto the feald for a long time, i notice their hand grasping onto the sash tied securely on their hip. This ment one thing, Y/n was thinking about Inazuma, or more specifically, her father.

"Papa, what would you do?" I hear a voice im all to familiar with. I'm getting to close to this one. I stand to leave.

"Its happening again." I stop. "I'll be forgotten again." My mind fills with all the times i had gotten to attched only to have them leave, or worse. Used against me. Caring is weakness. Caring is what brought me here. Caring is why I met Y/n... suddenly it dosent seem so bad.

No. I must remember the last time i cared. I must remember the lives i took because of it. I must remember all the pain.

Yet all of it seemed to slip away when i was with Y/n. I felt as though I am free of the chains planted on me. Its odd, how could this, this archon do that?

I am reminded of the death of Morax. Y/n is not clear of suspension. Thats why I'm watching them. But they dont seem like they could hurt a fly when they are like this.

Y/n was leaning over the railing, lookinh down. I notice a shining tear fall from their face.

No they couldn’t have killed Morax. Its impossible. Y/n has never killed in their life, unlike me.

I'm not alone, I know that. But I dont care, I cry, for the first time in centuries. Tears held back now falling freely from my eyes. D*mn Baal, D*mn that man. If nothing had happened, i would be home, with a loving mother. Mabey out traviling with her permission. I, I wouln't have met Atsuko, or Aether, Paimon, Dusky, Verr

I wouldn't have met Xiao.

The little phantom giggled watching her two friends. She didnt know much about the world outside Wangshu inn, but she knew. Those two were perfect for eachother.

Felt like this was a good place to end 😌
