snowflakes fall ever so gently from the clouded sky, and Xiao is nothing short of amazed. he's seen snow before, of course, but he's never seen you with it. how excited it makes you, eyes wide and arms reaching upwards. you're not necessarily aiming to catch anything, just crooning giddily at how the snow lands, melting on your skin upon impact. you are the sun's greatest enemy, the brightest light he's ever been deemed.
you smile and he wants to; he wants to revel in your enthusiasm, spin in circles and parade as though it's a miracle when it's only snow, savor his own laugh and fall in love with the earth. he remembers something he's seen humans do before, stick their tongues out and stand like adorable fools waiting for snow to fall. should he take his chances on feeling this joy as you do? making sure you aren't staring, he hesitantly pokes his tongue out, giving him the cutest pout you've possibly ever seen. just don't make it obvious that you are, in fact, staring.

"Hey." You called out to the yaksha. He had his arms folded, his back leaning against the wooden railing, the cold weather felt piercing, even through your extra coat but it seemed to have no effect on him. He stayed silent, eyeing the piling snow on the inn's balcony.
An idea suddenly hit you. you turned towards Paimon, in which she returns, "As much as Paimon would like to agree, she still wants to live." It seems like she knew exactly what you were thinking.
"Oh come on, he won't hurt us." You snickered. Xiao seemed to have caught the little fuss between the two of you, he watched as you stood, walking towards the opening of the roof. His eyes widening in shock when you decide to throw yourself and a screeching Paimon into a frozen slush. He immediately went into defensive mode, it's been what? 3 seconds and you're showing no signs of getting up. What if you died?
"(Y/n-" his words were cut off by the least thing he was expecting.
"Pftt..." you couldn't help but snort out a laugh, you could tell he was annoyed, but his intimidating features didn't look so scary when it was covered by a giant ball of snow. You heard Him growl, followed by a long sigh as he wiped off the cold substance from his face. You swore, his piercing glare was enough to melt the ice "Did you just throw a snowball at me?"
"It wasn't Paimon's idea!" Sensing his anger, she backed away.
"A little snow can't hurt you." You went ahead and threw another one at him which he caught. Letting the frost settle back to it's pile, he let out another sigh, as much as he wants to fight back, he's more afraid of hurting you in the process. He knows the extent of his powers, and he'd rather let you pile him up into a snowman than regret later.
Just as he was thinking, you tossed another ball, this time hitting his shoulder, "Stop it." His words were firm, perhaps even slightly threathening. He didn't like having his patience tested.
"Make me." You immediately regretted the moment the words slipped out of your mouth. The inn's rooftop was fairly small, with his speed it wouldn't even take a second to catch you.
You tried to slid away but as you had predicted, he caught you with ease. You heard him grunt with annoyance and the next second he had you cornered against the railings. His hands on either side of you, keeping you in place.
"That's not fair..." lips turning into a small pout, you looked up at him.
He frowned, "I told you to stop it."
"Hm..," You felt him flinch when you placed your hands on his shoulders. "Yeah maybe we should get back inside. It's getting cold." White mist forming as you let out a long breath.
"Really?" He looked unamused, he didn't seem like he trusted you one bit.
"You know me best." You giggled, using all the energy left in you to push him back, the pile of snow cushioning your fall. He knew you'd pull something off. Your laugh hitched when you feel him roll on top of you, using both hands to pin your wrists on either side of you.
You rarely get to see him so up close, your noses were almost touching and you were enjoying the view way more than you should. His golden eyes looked much more stunning up close, disheveled hair framing his handsome face, brows furrowed and lips narrowing in irritation.
"Is this what you want?" a low voice that completes it all, if only you weren't outside laying in ice cold snow.
You couldn't resist the temptation. You raised your head, attempting to meet his lips with yours. "Not quite" You whispered, eyes fluttering close.
He closed the distance, meeting you in a rough, hungry kiss. It was different than his usual hesitant, gentle ones, but nowhere less addicting. It's a treat you'd get only if you manage to rile him up. You could hardly process your thoughts with the way his tongue was moving against yours, the occasional bites and the way he leaves you breathless.
You chased his lips just as he was about to pull back, the first was nowhere near enough to sooth the desires in your chest. You feel him free his grip from your wrists, placing them beside your head instead. Your arms moved reflexively, wrapping themselves around his neck, attempting to deepen the kiss. You almost felt at complete lost when you had to part.

"Is everything alright?" Hua'in asked as Verr Goldet made her way down stairs, a fond smile present on her face. "Quite so, I was worried because it was rather noisy but they seem to be..." She eyes your floating companion, letting out a small laugh, "having fun." Never would she expect to see the view she had back there.
"Ugh... Paimon doesn't want to go back in there."
