A couple weeks had passed and Xingqiu was excited for the concert. He honestly couldn't wait for it.

Tomorrow was the day of the concert and the golden-eyed boy couldn't be happier. He was literally bouncing off of walls, too much excitement to be held down.

"Xingqiu, please calm down, I know you're excited but we need to make sure this fits you for tomorrow." Ganyu said, holding him by his shoulders.

She was used to this, but today was somehow different. He seemed even more excited than usual.

"Okay okay. I'm sitting still now." Xingqiu said, trying to contain his excitement.

He did as he said and sat still, patiently waiting for Ganyu to finish her measurements and whatever else she had to do.

As she finished up, Xingqiu began bouncing off walls again.

Ganyu left with a tight hug, walking out the door rapidly to finish preparing for the concert.

Xingqiu was too excited to sleep. He was just way too excited for this concert. The new song he made with Xinyan was completed a little while ago, but both parties agreed that they wouldn't release it until after this concert.

Xinyan was still staying at the Golden House, her reservations ended in a week, but could easily be extended if she wanted to.

Xingqiu's mind was all over the place. He knew if he messed up or if his mic wasn't working, everyone would understand and just laugh it off. For the first concert he ever did, he had slipped on stage. Oh Sevens... He was so embarrassed after that. But the fans didn't care.

He just learned to get over it and not get embarrassed because it didn't matter. Everyone was there to see him and watch him dance and listen to him sing.

He laughed a little at the memory.

He got up from his bed and walked to his bathroom. The bags under his eyes were slightly visible, but nothing some makeup couldn't fix.

He looked at the time and sighed. He technically have the whole day to himself. The concert started at 7:00pm and would last until 9pm-ish, longer if the fans wanted an encore.

He was excited and nervous and was just a big ball of energy.

He decided to chat with Xinyan until breakfast came in and then scroll through social media's until he got bored.

(I'm sorry this is such a big time skip)

It was almost 7 and Xingqiu got nervous. He usually got nervous around this time, but he was still excited.

Yanfei came to get him to usher him to a car that would take him to the building he'd be performing in a while ago.

He now sat in the car, waiting.

Xingqiu's leg bounced up and down and wouldn't stop.

He was jittery and excited. He loved being an idol, but just hated the nerves of anticipation.

The car pulled to a stop in front of the giant building that housed the stage.

The big letters on top read MiHoyo Entertainment Inc.

Xingqiu took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.

Some fans were gathered around and were screaming. His body guards stepped out also, walking slightly out and behind him.

He waved doing his normal smile.

Walking inside, he was hit with a rush of cold air. Xingqiu knew where to go, as he had been and preformed here multiple times.

He was nervous, but Xinyan would be here soon anyways.

He walked into his dressing room and quickly put on his outfit. It was basically a navy blue suit, gold accents placed carefully everywhere.

Ganyu popped up, sticking her head into the room to inform the boy that Xinyan had arrived.

After he was finished, he went to go greet her. They met, hugged, and were off to finish getting ready.

Xingqiu was dragged away by Yanfei to get his makeup done. He checked the time again. 6:48.

He took a deep breath. He was nervous and excited.

He didn't eat, only taking in small bits of candy. The last time he ate before a concert, he'd felt like throwing up.

Makeup was done and Xingqiu rushed backstage, Xinyan following close behind.

They shared some gummy worms, laughing a little bit.

They were both nervous.

If Xingqiu had to pick something he hated about concerts, it would be the anticipation.

But I'm talking too much now. The concert was about the start.

-

Xingqiu's breathing was labored. He smiled and clapped along with everyone else.

Xinyan was singing her part and everyone was going wild!

They sang their new song together, the audience loving it.

Xingqiu sang Action Figure, the song that had blown up.

The overall experience was just amazing. At one point, Xingqiu forgot he was still on earth. He was so focused on singing for his fans, he didn't care about anything else.

Everything went quiet before he was brought back from reality. He hadn't fainted, but was singing the best he had ever done.

He loved this. He lived for this.

-

The concert had ended and fans were filing out of the building.

Xingqiu was sitting on a chair beside Xinyan, gulping down water.

A staff member wiping sweat from each of their foreheads.

"I need to use the bathroom. I'll be back."

"Wait, you need someone to-"

"No, I don't. But thanks, Yanfei."

He got up on shaky legs and wobbled to the bathroom.

As he walked, some random fans were also walking in his direction.

They spotted him and screamed. He was then bombarded with questions for autographs and asking for his number.

Mind you, they were all girls. And if you've forgotten, Xingqiu was gay.

"Um, sorry, but I'm not doing autographs today. Sorry..."

But they wouldn't listen. The washroom was right there.

"I'm sorry, but I need to go." He lightly pushed the girls back and made a beeline to the washroom door.

Was got in, shut the door behind him, and sighed, sliding down slightly.

He looked up, blue catching his eyes.

"Hey! It's you!"

A cliffhanger? Hell yeah. Who do you think it is? 👀

And sorry this chapter is a little late...
