The love between you and I

The Beggining Of Something Great

Xiao's POV
Xiao woke up in a sweat breathing hard waking up from another one of his nightmares earlier then usual
it was 2:00 am the sun hadn't even come out yet it was still dark not even a bit of light yet to shine
*huff huff* "A-another one of those...nightmares again...ugh this can't keep happening I haven't had a good nights sleep in years..."
*He said while wiping his forehead of sweat*
*he let out a hard sigh* "I might as well as well get up...not like I'm gonna fall back asleep"
Xiao got up out of his bed still a bit groggy whipping his eyes and heading to the bathroom to take a shower
He started the shower he decided to take a cold shower as it makes him feel more refreshed and helped him wake up after he finished his shower he turned the water off and got out the shower then dried he's body and his hair then headed to the sink to brush his teeth and brush his hair and once he finished that he did his makeup and headed out the bathroom back into his room where his usual clothes were he quickly put them on and headed to his kitchen to make himself some tea once he finished he sat in his living room to drink it *he let out a sigh and took a few sips of his tea*
A pain struck through Xiao's head

:WARNING INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS AND CURSING:

"UGH!...Ow...dammit..."
A voice echoed through Xiao's head
"What makes you so special that you think you deserve this life?"
"..." *Xiao said nothing*
"You don't deserve anything."
"Your just some disgusting being who doesn't even deserve life itself"
"S-stop...please!..."
*Xiao said starting to shake*
Before he know it his episode had lasted hours hearing those voices echo the same things for hours
*Xiao began to shake so much he dropped his tea cup on the ground making it shatter into a million pieces and spilling tea everywhere*
"S-shit..." *Xiao said with a shaky voice*
He didn't have a broom in his house at the time so he just tried to clean it up with his hands but his hands starting to bleed from the pieces of sharp glass pricking him and get stuck in the palm of his hands
"Ow..." then getting cut off by hearing knocking at his front door

"Good afternoon Xiao.It's me Zhongli you in there?"
"Mr.Zhongli?*he said under his breath* Oh!Uhm...coming"
"Afternoon already?How long was I out-"*he said again under his breath*
Xiao got up and went to the door hoping he didn't keep Zhongli waiting to long Xiao opened the door for Zhongli and greeted him with a "Good afternoon Mr.Zhongli-" Zhongli cut him off noticing his bleeding hands "What did you do this time?" *Grabbing both his hands* "What do you mean?"This time" *Xiao said with a bit of attitude* Zhongli sighed but all he said was "Mind letting me inside?" "Sure...-" Xiao said

Z:Zhongli
X:Xiao

Z"Xiao do you have any tweezers around here by any chance?I don't want you getting an infection from the glass."
X"Uh yea I think there's some in the bathroom I can go ge-"
Z"No.You stay right there Xiao I will go get it I will be right back."
X "..."
Zhongli went to get the tweezers from Xiao's bathroom coming back after a few minutes
Z "Ok put your hands out this might hurt but just try to focus on me ok?
X "Uhm ok"
Zhongli began to take shards of glass out of Xiao's hands piece by piece each one hurting more then the last Xiao flinching at each one being taken out
X *Xiao grunting in pain* "D-Did you need anything Mr.Zhongli...since you came here out of nowhere and stuff-"
Z "Oh!Yea almost forgot about what I came here for,yes I did actually."
Z "I was wondering if you wanted to accompany me on meeting a fellow Archon such as myself"
X "Where would we be meeting?"
Zhongli was silent for second but then said awkwardly "A...bar"
Xiao was shocked by Zhongli's answer X "Oh since when did the geo archon Rex lapis drink?" Xiao said sarcastically while chuckling
Z "I suggest you stop talking before I change my mind."
X "Ok ok I will stop but yes I do want to go."
Z "I'm glad you wanna go let me finish up with your hands and then we can make our way there"
Zhongli finished up with Xiao's hands and then wrapped them with bandages
Z "All done.Shall we start making our way there?"
Zhongli said while giving Xiao a hand up from the couch
Xiao grabbed his and got up "Yes we can."

Xiao and Zhongli began to make there way to the bar
