Different.. | Xiao x Lumine

Secret | Chapter 12

Lumine walked along the dirt path as Xiao walked beside her.

"Hey Xiao."

"Hm?"

"Can I tell you a secret." Lumine stopped as she looked at the sky. The sun was setting already, they has spent the whole day with each other.

"If you want to.." Xiao stopped slightly in front of her as he looked at the sky as well.

Lumine smiled as she explained, "I plan to runaway."

Her words caught him off guard. He quickly looked back at her. She was now crying, still looking at the sky but crying. You could see small tears run down her cheeks then disappear into the air.

He walked over to her side.

"I want to run away from everyone, besides you and Paimon." She dropped her head.

"May.. I ask why?" Xiao asked while hesitantly reaching for her shoulder.

Lumine stayed silent before answering, "Everyone's so greedy! They'll all using me for their own troubles they're not strong enough to fight themselves."

Xiao felt guilt cloud his mind but before he could speak lumine continued.

"The only people who actually helped me look for my brother or didn't make me go on some stupid commission was you! And paimon..."

"They don't realize how important family is until they lose it.." Xiao gently placed his hand on her shoulder as she cried. All those emotions she had bottled up from the start had finally been set free.

Lumine quickly hugged him as she quietly sobbed.

"As long as you don't go far.., and still see me. I don't care where you go.." Xiao blushed lightly but hugged her back.

"I'll probably stay at Wangshu Inn. That's the only place I can leave quickly and enter without being seen." Lumine informed Xiao about all the details as they began to head back once more.
