Happy Tears /Xiao x Reader/

13- Night

The harbor of Liyue was magnificent. The sun that had just settled down, changing the hues to bright red along the edge. Reflection of her own was shown by the lake below her, making her think twice again before heading to the South一finding the precise dragon and its dear friend.

But all of those didn't matter once she watched as humans started to go back to their own home. 'Did Rex Lapiz and Guizhong build this by themselves?' She wondered, still falling for the sight that always stunned her every time. And just like that, she took her time to breathe in the air一sending breeze to the lungs and breathed out.

Magnificent sight for the e/c. She watched the sun that settled down, replacing the red hues with blue hues一the light from the sun was replaced with the light from the moon. "You've arrived." A voice spoke to the small Goddess一staring at the scenery.

The voice didn't speak another word but joined her gazing at the harbor一as they set sailed. "Xiao, yes?" The small voice spoke aloud, still watching as people came and boats were adrifted on the water. He nodded his head shortly after, his golden eyes continued watching to whatever she was looking at.

Y/n sighed finally moving her sight from lake一watched as the golden eyes were mesmerized by the beauty themselves. "It's been awhile, hasn't it?" She asked softly to the adeptus who broke his gaze. "Yes, I heard about your new village."

Y/n nodded her head in response, continuing her sightseeing. "Come and visit our village. They are finally free from Qiu Lv," the h/c stated, letting her e/c wavered in peace. Instead of the full of pride or joyous一her face was calm as ever.

Like the wave that washed over the sand peacefully一making sure it didn't hit the shore too strong.

"Yes, I'll come when I have the time," Xiao replied to the little girl who was still一watching the wide lake. Was it that fascinating until she'd watched it for hours? "How is your friend?"

"...the hatred is trying to take over the body."

Y/n smiled, much to his surprise. "I see. Hatred, a very strong emotion creatures can feel," the h/c commented whilst placing her small hands on the chin. "I can only wish for your friend to return back." There was no answer from the adeptus, as if he knew what did the fate hold for him. The moon that was fully on top of the sky, signing for her to go.

"Adeptus Xiao, please escort me to Adeptus Morax."

"Have you ever think what it's like to have your own family?"

When a girl asked that question to her partner, it's either the partner would choke or change the topic. But Xiao一he didn't do any of those. Instead, he turned his gaze, eyed the girl intently一as if there was something inside of her. "That wouldn't be that bad," he replied expressionless. The curtain of the window flew opened, sending the fresh night breeze to the room while Y/n sat by the bed. She didn't know what was she wondering about, but she knew that right now一it was only the two of them.

"Then, would you like to have one?"

Though, it was odd for him, he tried to catch any hint of joke in the tone. Only to come with no answer. "I think it's only been a year and a half. Why would you think that far?" Xiao asked carefully to the lady that smiled gently to him. "Just... wondering," she answered full of honesty. Laying her head on his shoulder slowly, her eyes glistened skywards, catching a glimpse of his face.

"Xiao," she called softly, only to turn to a small whisper. "Yes, Y/n?" Hesitantly, Xiao raised his hand to her hair, trying to remove some strands that covered his sight of her beautiful face一
