Our Last Meeting /Xingqiu x Chongyun Angst Fluff

Chapter 11

Chongyun's pov:

I woke up in a... Medow? Field? I don't know. I slowly sat up and looked at the sky, it had different gradients of blue in it. the clouds mixed in with the blue to form the pastel color, and the way it had a darker color from afar. I looked to my side to see Xingqiu still sound asleep his hair covering his face, I brushed it off using my hand and tucked it behind his ear. I got up and stretched since my back hurtled. I heard a yawn behind me so I looked at where Xingqiu was to see him rubbing his eyes and sitting up "good morning" I said "nothing is good about mornings.." he replied "looks like someone woke up in the wrong side of the bed" he just groaned and layed back at the soft grass "I'm still tired.. And I don't wanna get uppp"   "I mean, it's not like you can even get up in the first place..." I mumbled "huh? What was that?"   "nothing" I replied "get your ass up, it's already morning"   "no, fuck off..."   "alright then, you leave me with no choice" I went towards him and carried him on my back to give him a piggyback ride "OI PUT ME DOWN ICY-" I just ignored what he said and kept walking.

I was carrying him on my back while we were looking for some crutches to use so I didn't have to carry him everywhere, but I honestly didn't mind. We couldn't find any crutches so we decided to make one, Xingqiu was showing me instructions on how to build it.

I was getting the recourses while Xingqiu was just chilling since he couldn't get up much. He was just chilling watching me or reading a book of some sort. I was still thinking about what happened to the past few days since it was only a week after Xingqiu got out of the pharmacy.

I was still out of it when I felt something tugging on my shirt, I looked down to see Xingqiu on his knees pulling my shirt to get my attention. I dropped the axe and quickly carried Xingqiu and placed him on the ground before saying "don't do that again, you're leg is injured and it might make the bruise worse!" scolding him. He just looks at me and sighs "I've been calling your name for the past 15 minutes but you didn't seem to notice, so I figured I had to tug on your shirt to get your attention idiot" he says crossing his arms "ohhh okay, wait what did do you want to tell me again?" I asked "I wanted to tell you that we got enough recourse to make the crutches" he says while grabbing the book "here, this book has the steps on how to make the crutches" he said, handing me the book.

I flipped through the pages to look for the instructions and fortunately I found it within a matter of minutes.

I started making the crutches while Xingqiu was guiding me since he said he wanted to help too. After a few hours we managed to finish the crutches and now Xingqiu can finally walk without my help but the only problem is he needed my help to get on the crutches. And with no hesitation he grabbed my shoulder using one hand and pulled himself up, I quickly grabbed one of the crutches and handed it to him, and just like that he was able walk again. He looked up at me and smiled "I can walk again..." he says, I chuckled at his low but enthusiastic voice, I was too busy looking at him but that was quickly out of my thoughts when I felt something hit my arm, I looked up and saw Xingqiu grinning as he shouted "last one back to Liyue is a rotten slime ball!" he then scurried away, the crutches hitting the floor indicating he's trying his best to run, I got up and ran after him in a slow but steady pace.

Not long after, the entrance to Liyue was visible I slowed down wanting Xingqiu to win, as I watch him cross to the entrance I can't help but feel a smile creep up on my face, I ran inside with Xingqiu claiming his victory as he was laughing around and saying how bad I was at racing him I was just a meter away from the entrance when everything went black...

I snapped back to reality when I felt something hit me, I looked to my side to see bennett, holding my shoulder looking worried "you've been spacing out for almost the whole day, is there something bothering you?" he asks with razor looking at me from behind him, I simply just shrugged it off and said I was fine... Now that I think about it I've been doing this for a long time now I've lost count with how much I was dazing off since I don't even remember what I was spacing off into, I would just simply snap back to reality having no memory of what I was imagining I need to look deeper into this, this was not normal.

I just simply told bennett I was tired and that I didn't get much sleep the day before, well I'm not really lying I was actually tired since the position of where I was laying at hurted my back, I was about to lay down when we heard a rustling from the bushes we looked at each other bennett giving us an expression with a 'did you guys hear that' visible on his face razor and I just nodded our heads and stayed silent for a minute until we heard a twig crack, at this point bennett looked terrified but was trying not to show it. He got up and slowly walked towards us but due to his bad luck he fell and hit his head on one of the wooden sticks, he collapses and made a thud sound, we all just looked at each other before I got up and slowly walked towards the source of the sound.

I was now infront of the bushes, anxiety was rushing over me as I slowly extended my hands to separate the ball of leaves.

As I was parting the leaves I was thinking about every possible creature that could be making the sound, anticipation rising inside me. I was close to finding out what it was when the rustling started again I froze I was shaking I was nervous, I didn't know what to do I was deciding whether I should ditch it and just run or reveal what it was, I was nervous that was until I felt a cold but soothing feeling I managed to calm down and finally depart the leaves revealing...

Nothing... I got confused, clearly we heard noises from here I just shrugged it off tho and went back to the others, I saw bennett and razor sitting by the fire eating meat "Chongyun! There you are! Come join us!" bennett said enthusiasticly, I just nodded and sat next to razor before taking a piece of meat and taking a huge bite.

We were eating peacefully until I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders "BOO!" I've never whipped my head behind me so fast before I almost choked on my food, I was choking wheezing and gasping for air I was hitting my chest to get the food to go down, I felt a pair of hands go to my waist and then felt a thrust and it went on for a few more minutes until the piece of meat was out and I felt them let go and let me take a few breaths.

After that incident I finally looked up to see who scared me to see...

"Hu tao!?"
