Our Last Meeting /Xingqiu x Chongyun Angst Fluff

Chapter 8

Chongyun's pov:

I was in the house with Xingqiu at the side, reading a book waiting for me to finish lighting up the candles and making the summoning circle, I called for him as I started the chanting it didn't take long before we notice a black like substance that was slowly forming that reached the ceiling, we slowly backed away from the spirit before it lunged at us, I managed to grab Xingqiu in time before it hit both of us. We looked back at it to see if it has any facial features and it has... Nothing? It was just a black blob with glowing  red outlining that was it, but it sure was flexible and stretchy since it can extend itself so far to the point you can't run away from it but that's what we did since we didn't think it could be that large, I was trying to find out a way on how to exorcsise it since it didn't seem like it had any weakness, while Xingqiu was the one that was distracting it he made sure it didn't get close to me or it even saw me but he was doing a pretty good job, he was doing flips and even running on the walls sometimes, I was having a hard time tho since I couldn't see anything that would exorcsise it, I was still looking for it when a scream got me out of my thoughts "CHONGYUN!" I looked at where Xingqiu was and there I saw him, getting dragged by the leg back to the summoning circle.

I quickly grabbed my claymore and slashed the spirit's... Hand?

I quickly pulled Xingqiu right beside me while the blob retracted its hand, I was still holding the claymore while I was in front of Xingqiu. The black blob only being a meter away, by now Xingqiu had a bruise on his leg because of how much grip the spirit had on him.

It lunged towards Xingqiu and I but I managed to slash it hard enough for it to back away but that wasn't all, it kept lunging at me, extending its arm to grab something behind me, but I wasn't gonna let it have anything it wants so I kept slashing it but it's speed was too fast for me to handle so I was getting tired that was until it stopped... I looked at it to see what it was up to but all I saw was some kind of black beam with a purple glow... I was too tired so I stood there... In place, I was paralyzed, I couldn't move an inch... That was until I felt someone push me to the side, I turned to look at who pushed me and...

There stood Xingqiu...he looked at me with a desperate look on his face...time felt like it was slow, it only took a matter of seconds before he got hit with the beam his body hitting one of the walls forming a crack followed with a thud.

It didn't take long for me to hear a screeching sound, so I looked at the spirit to see that it was screeching while it was getting dragged back at the circle, it managed to hold on to a piece of the floor board before I hit it with my weapon. It's screeches echoed in the house as it disappeared into the circle. After I knew it was gone I ran to Xingqiu who was still sitting on the floor the wall being the only thing that's supporting him, I quickly looked back at the bruise that was on his leg to notice that there was a purple like vain that was from the bruise, it looked like there was a crack forming from it, I wasted no time  carrying him bridal style to run to the nearest pharmacy... I kept shouting name on the way out just to make sure he can hear me, he would open his eyes sometimes so I knew it was a sign he was still alive, it never failed to calm me down when he would open his eyes or breath calmly before stopping, it was only a matter of time when we managed to get to our destination...

Bennett's Pov:

I was just traveling around with razor but when we came back we saw an unfamiliar dude sleeping in the bridge, he looked like he was worried and kept on mumbling something but we couldn't hear it so razor and I decided to go near him since he didn't look dangerous.

When we got close we managed to hear him repeat the same words over and over again
"x-xinqui... Wake up... d-dont leave... please..." he kept repeating that name over and over again, razor and I looked at each other before deciding to wake him up.

I shook him for a few minutes until he finally wakes up, he looks at us confused before he asks" where am I? Who are you guys?" I responded with "ah, you're at the entrance of mondstatd! I'm Bennett! And he's razor!" I said pointing at razor, he just looks at the blue haired guy before sniffing him "uhhh is this what he usually does..?" he asks again "haha yea, he's usually like that around New people but he's harmless so don't worry" I said trying to reassure him, he just sighed in relief as razor stopped sniffing him.

I asked what he was doing here since I haven't seen him here before, that must've triggered something since he became quiet "I-i don't really wanna talk about it..." he replied "oh it's fine, don't worry" I said "come in with us, we can show you around!" I said while tugging on his arm "I guess it wouldn't be too bad..." I heard him say before he started following us towards the gates, when we got in I grabbed both of their hands and ran in, I was looking for Jean or any adult for help since the guy- oh I forgot to ask him his name, I stopped right next to the dawn winery just to ask what his name was "hey I forgot to ask you, what's your name?" I asked trying to sound as cheerful as I can "its Chongyun" he said calmly "woahh cool name!" I said very energetically "come! I'll show you around!" I said, he just nodded and let me lead the way.
