Hidden mask [xiaoxventi]

Chapter 2

"Burp xiaoooo!!! This is so gwoood, you gotta try this!" Venti spilled the bottle all over the table. Diluc stared at Venti, disgusted. "Why." Diluc wiped the table with a cloth. Venti fell asleep making all kind of hiccups. Xiao sighed, this reminded him of the first time they met.

FLASHBACK STARTS:

"I swear, I'm going to kill him!" Xiao growled with a tinge of murder in his eyes. He has never felt this mad. "He started this fight, it isn't my fault. HE started it." Xiao hissed. "Calm down Xiao, Childe didn't mean to insult you." Zhongli, Xiao's most trusted friend tried to calm Xiao down. "Well, you didn't have to start a fight Xiao," Diluc added. "You think I care? Its not my fault I'm... short." Xiao's rage grew ;anger and larger overtime.

"Yahoo! It's Mondstadt's greatest bard!" A voice joined in. "Ah, hello Venti." Zhongli greeted the bard. Venti sat next to Xiao, "the usual please!" Xiao stared at Venti, Venti noticed and smirked, "Amazed by my adorable face?" Venti giggled. "No, now shut up." Xiao snapped. Venti didn't give up that easily and decided to anger Xiao more.

Some days after the tavern incident (Xiao totally didn't try to kill Venti) school started. "Class, now please welcome our new student." The teacher announced. "Yahoo! I'm venti and I like music!" Xiao was horrified. "Please sit next to Xiao, the student in the back." The teacher told Venti. Xiao was even more terrified. Oh does the archons hate Xiao that much? "Hi Xiao! Xiao! Xiao!" Venti waved non-stop. Xiao ignored Venti and continued walking.

The whole day, Xiao couldn't think anything else other than Venti.

His shimmering eyes

His round face

His soft cheeks

His- Wait stop

Xiao frowned, there was no way. No way. No way. Xiao had feelings for Venti?!
