The Moon Tied With The Sun

Chapter 11

Xiao's POV

What he said just pissed me off more.

X. "Venti let go of of me!"

V. "I'd rather not."

I grabbed his arms and tried to get them off me. When I opened them wide enough that my body would fit through I stood up bit he grabbed my wrist. I tried to pull my arm away but he just tightened his grip.

X. "Venti please just let go."

V. "Hm okay." He finally let go of me.

V. "Heh let's go downstairs before the twins come banging on the door." He then unlocked the door and left.

I didn't want to go downstairs so I again, layed down on the floor. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

Lumine's POV.

L. "What took you so long and Where's Xiao?"

V. "In my room. So why did you want to come here?"

L. "To mess around. Is it alright if I go get Xiao?"

V. "Yup!" After asking Venti if I could go to his room I went up the stairs and into his room. I saw Xiao at the end of the bed on the floor sleeping. He looked so peaceful. Venti was right when he said he was cute.

I went back downstairs to tell Aether and Venti.

L. "Xiao's asleep."

A. "He's asleep?"

V. "He's sleeping on the floor isn't he?"

L. "Yup in a ball."

A. "Who sleeps on the floor."

V. "She just told you who."

L. "Well anyways let's play some games!"

After they had fun and the twins left.

Venti's POV.

I walked into my room and saw Xiao sitting on the floor, holding his stomach. It looked like he was in pain.

V. "Are you ok Xiao?" He just nodded his head.

V. "What's wrong Xiao?"

X. "I'm fine." His voice was rather weak. I walked up to him and tried to touch him but he just smacked my hand away.

X. "D-don't touch me!"

V. "I just want to help Xiao." I again attempted to touch him. Instead of him smacking my hand away he kicked me.

X. "What do you not understand when I say don't touch me." I sat in front of him. We just stared at each other.

V. "Xiao what do you need?"

X. "W... what?

V. "What do you need for your stomach. You're in pain and don't say you aren't. You wouldn't be holding your stomach." I just chuckled at his confused face. I don't know what he's confused about but that face is adorable.

X. "I... umm." His face was flushed. He was now embarrassed.

X. I need an... ice pack." I heard what he said but he was saying it so quietly, so I decided to tease him.

V. "A what?"

X. "An ice pack."

V. "I still can't hear you~"

X. "An ice pack!" I started to giggle.

V. "Ok ok I'll be back."

I stood up, left my room, and went down the stairs. I saw minty sleeping in her bed. I went to the kitchen and looked through the freezer. When I saw the ice pack I grabbed it and went back upstairs. I went back in my room and saw Xiao just staring at the floor.

V. "I got your ice pack." He jumped a little.

X. "Thank you." I handed him the ice pack and sat infront of him. He just looked at me and back at the ice pack.

V. "Do you need help?"

X. "No." He then lifted his shirt a little and put the ice pack on his skin. It looked like he flinched but he also looked relaxed. He then just stared at me, which made me embarrassed.

V. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

X. "Sorry."

V. "Hehe. You're fine." Xiao moved closer to me which caused our knees to touch.

X. "I don't know much about taking care of bruises but do you have anything that you think will lessen the pain?"

V. "No I'm sorry. Can I look at your bruise."

X. "Yeah. I'm sorry for kicking you earlier I don't like it when people try to touch me. And don't ask how I got the bruise."

V. "Mmmk!" I got a little bit more closer to Xiao and then I lifted his shirt. He had a big purple bruise on his stomach. I wanted to ask him where he got it but I remembered he didn't want me asking.

I gently brushed my fingers on the bruise. Xiao was really skinny, like really. I grabbed the ice pack from Xiao's hand and put it on the bruise.

V. "Why are you so skinny?"

X. "I-I... isn't it obvious?"

V. "You don't eat, why?"

X. "I don't feel like eating."

V. "Xiao you need to eat. Not eating isn't healthy."

X. But eating just makes me puke, even thinking about eating makes me want to." It's like he has depression.

V. "Xiao be honest with me are you depressed?"

X. "You don't even know what my favorite color is and you're asking me this shit." He sounded angry.

V. "Sorry, sorry. I don't know much about you and you don't know much about me either but I'm worried about you Xiao."

X. "Why are people worried about me? Why?"

V. "Because we want to you to be safe." I looked at face to see him just staring at me.

V. "Xiao let's spend the rest of this day learning about each other."
