From Zero~ A Chilumi AU

Lumine returned home and waved goodbye to Childe. She went inside and heard someone shouting from Aether's room.

"Oh my archons what in Teyvat is this boy up to-"

She ran to open the door and revealed Xiao in the middle of threatening to kill Aether

"Aether you little shi- oh heya Lumine"

"Haha hey Xiao. Hello Zhongli, hey Venti!"

The other two boys calmly waved back at her while they watched as Xiao was literally on the verge of murdering Aether right there on the spot

"Okay okay I'm sorry Xiao!!"

"Hm, you better be"

He relaxed back onto the floor and picked up his controller. That was when Lumine released they had been gaming. Well, Zhongli and Venti weren't gaming.

"So how was your date with Childe?"

"Quite well actually!!"

"That's good to hear"

Xiao got up and walked over to the small table beside the door. He picked up his can of soda and started up a conversation with Lumine.

"How does Ganyu act with she's around you?"

"Ah well she's mostly quiet but she helps in a lot of situations! You're lucky to have her"

They both exchanged quick smiles before Lumine left the four boys to resume whatever they had been doing before.  She returned to her room and looked around for the box Childe had mentioned

It was a small box with rhinestones decorating it

His exact description repeated in her head over and over again. She looked on all her higher up shelves until she finally found it. Reaching up, she tried her best to get it down but failed

She huffed in annoyance and grabbed a ruler to smack it down. Low and behold, it worked... but it fell on top of her head.

"Ow! You stupid box!! What made you think you could fall on my face like that!"

She knew that if anyone saw her screaming at a box like that they'd surely think she's insane. Lumine picked up the box and opened it. Looking at the contents she didn't really remember what it was for

"What is this...? Did I even have this before...?"

She shut the box and decided the show it to Childe the next time they meet up. She walked out of her room and saw Xiao silently relaxing on the couch.

"Oh hey, what are you doing out here?"

Xiao looked at Lumine and sighed

"Well Venti was thinking of getting drunk and Zhongli was scolding him. Aether is already drunk and passed out so I took myself out of the argument"

The blonde haired girl giggled and sat next to the male.

"Well if Aether's drunk then y'all are probably gonna stay over right?"

"Mhmm, Ganyu said she was gonna come pick me up later though. So I won't be staying"

"Awww you can still stay!! I'm sure Ganyu wouldn't mind staying with me!!!"

Xiao thought about it for a while but shrugged.

"It's her choice. I don't mind, I'm probably gonna sleep on the couch anyways-"

A shout interrupted Xiao and before he knew it, Venti came crashing onto him

"XiaoXiao~~~"

"Venti stop being gay with me, go annoy Zhongli or something"
