Christmas month

"At this point I'm a mother of six children" she sighs while slumping in her seat "Mother of six??" Aether asks "oh my god i will never get used to people sitting behind us" she says smiling

"Yeah I tutor underclassmen and theyre really attached to me, its endearing but what's gonna happen when we graduate..." you smile sadly

"I dont want them to be sad... but I won't see them after high school" she says getting evidently sadder "seems like your the one with the attachment." Xiao grumbles

"I saw you smile at them so shut up" Xiao huffs in return to your shushing "theyre good kids. theyre really good kids i just hope that theyll do fine." you smile

"But don't you only tutor four?" Lumine asks out of absolutely nowhere "yes but they all have a friend group of three and they all come together, I dont mind cause they dont bother" you laugh

"Today's Thursday so Bennett, Razor and Fischl" you smile sweetly "so y/n does have a soft spot" Aether teases "shut it blondie." is all you say "yes ma'am" he immediately says
"what i thought." and then the teacher comes in.

"That's really interesting Fischl but im tutoring Bennett right now" you smile she mumbles somethings before going on her phone until Razor asks her for help.

Bennett goes to grab his water bottle but knocks it over being quick on your feet you move all the papers out of the way and the laptop "I'm so so sorry y/n please dont be mad" Bennett apologizes

"hey theres no need to apologize for making a mistake Bennett" you smile at him "Razor can you please get me some paper towels?" she asks smiling he nods in return "Bennett its ok i really couldnt care less" she reassures

Razor comes back with paper towels as you wipe down the soaked table and then toss them "ok!" she claps her hands "I would like to see your test scores!" Bennett excitedly gets his paper out it being crumpled and stuff.

Grabbing it without hesitation and unraveling it a bit "an 82%! wow oh my god your doing so well! great job" you pat his head

"Razor?" he holds put a paper a tiny bit less crinkled then bennetts "80% wow razor! your doing so well" you smile patting his head.

then you go over to fischl "whats your test score?" you ask "but im not in your tutoring" she looks down "so? i think you should be included as well" she nods getting out a neat paper with a "94%! wow fischl your doing amazing!" you smile patting her head

"I'm very proud of all of you, keep up the amazing work, you can go now" she smiles they walk out all talking about something.

Looking over at a sleeping Xiao smiling fondly ever since he came in your room that one night from his nightmare hes been coming in your room everyday around 2am and leaving to get ready for school.

Putting your hand on his head you play with his hair he dyed it recently to keep the green undertones it really suited him if you were honest "Ah cmon Xiao you gotta wake up" she says ruffling his hair he reluctantly opens his eyes.

He looks so pretty catching yourself staring but not wanting to look away from his eyes "Xiao," she says getting closer to his face "hm?" he asks looking at you "your eyes are very pretty" she says continuing to stare

It turns into a half staring contest but its more of prolonged eye contact not awkward in any way "you do too" is all he says

You smile and thank him before walking away "lets go home yeah" you turn around smiling "yeah" he says throwing his bag over his shoulders.

"Alright lets go you son of a bitch" you yell at Xiao "youre going down" he plays along and with that you start fighting

Its a fight to see who can gain power who can pin the other first not necessarily hitting eachother and just pushing eachother until you trip over your feat falling flat on your back.

"ughhhh" you groan and then you feel a heavy weight on your hips "oh noooo" you laugh trying to push him off.

in return he catches on of your wrists pinning it above your head and your faces are so close together

Both out of breath from the constant fighting and laughing he leans closer and whispers an "I win" in your ear and gets up

"damn it" you curse staying on the floor covering your face with your arm to hide the embarrassment mumbling an incoherent string of words like 'you really dont know what you do to me'

Gaining your composure "Xiao what do you want for Christmas?" she asks genuinely "Nothing" he waves his hand "just tell me what you want goddammit" she flops onto her back

"im not hiding anything I just dont want anything" he sighs "iM nOt hiDinG anYtHiNg my ass" she mocks "if you hate your gift then dont come running to me" she huffs

"I wouldn't say it to your face itd just go missing but really I threw it away" he tease "woooow i see how it is" she laughs "man its gonna be a new year already... I feel old" you smile

"you are old" he says "your older than me you old man I bet yo knees be crackin' like an 80 year old man" you yell he just stares at you like you didnt just say that

"uh huh at least I dont complain about my back like some 90 year old women" he says back "one I have a valid reason for that boobs are heavy and two your actin' like you weren't fuckin' bed ridden like an old man on life support" she smiles

his eyebrow twitches in annoyance "fine you win" he surrenders "thats what I thought.
