Happy Tears /Xiao x Reader/

10- Envy or Anger

"Are you going back to Celestia?"

The sound of red liquid filled the room. The simple bed and the blanket she sat on, became full of liquid. No one knew if it was on purpose or not, only the owner did.

She handed the glass to the raven haired boy. "Maybe, now that Gui一people don't need me, it's time for me to go. How's the wine, Barbatos?"

The glass landed on his lips as he drank the bitter taste. "I suggest you go now. People will soon, turn against you," he warned. The h/c lady didn't give any reply. She took the bottle and poured the red liquid again.

The night had drowned the Liyue. The only source of light were, only the moon and the stars. Even the room she was in, had no candles to light the room. She had removed all of the treasure and golds from her resident.

The moon reflected the glass as the liquid, he moved side to side. "Don't play with the drink. You may never know how furious Rex Lapiz would be."

"You served me the wine. So I see no reasons why he would."

Y/n chuckled lightly. The same as ever, as how she expected him to be. "I'm sorry for your lost, Barbatos."

The noises between them died down. They were left with the sorrow and dreadful silence. He broke the silence by letting out a sigh.

"Freedom is all we need. We fight in our wills. The wills that are stronger than our own life and sanity. Freedom can't be bought with Moras, but by our sacrafices and our own wills."

She was silent, and listened carefully. Her heart sank into nothing than bunch of dust. "Please keep yourself somewhere safe."

"You too."

Her gaze on the shinning moon, turned to the bridges below her. Her eyes didn't show anything. The humming from her throat, had dived people to listen the song. Though, the song remained mysterious, people had swayed their ways to the dancing floor.

Magically, everyone heard how the song went. There was no instrument to all of those songs she was humming. She sighed and stood up straight, releasing her hold from the balcony.

Y/n remembered the time where she would dance and swayed, following the rythym of the tune. The villagers would danced and accompanied her. Oh, how long her heart longed for all the times she missed.

Y/n continued her way, humming again. She let her window and curtain opened, enjoying the breeze the wind had sent her. She heard a small clank from a cold iron, she had assumed. Her e/c orbs turned to look at the yellow ones.

Xiao walked in the room, though, he was a little bit hesitated. "Welcome, I haven't make any almond tofu," she stated. Xiao didn't give any reply and walked closer to Y/n.

"What were you humming?"

"I thought you weren't interested in mortals."

He furrowed his eyebrows. His yellow ones wandered around the room and finally landed on the bags. Y/n chuckled. "Care for a dance?" Y/n offered. She let out her hands to him. "Maybe with this, you'll know everything about me."

Xiao didn't know what had gotten into him. He had accepted her hand, he was pulled in.

Her hummings filled both of them as he followed his steps with his. Wasn't the role switched?

The wind's blow became slower and softer for them. The moon became brighter so as the stars, just for them. As if the world had stopped for them.

His eyes were glued to hers. She seemed to be so beautiful. Too beautiful, honestly. It felt like, she was the only person that shone so bright. "People used to dance like this with me, back in Xia Xing. But they were all..."
