⁃ you could tell by the very second he looked at you, XIAO wasn't going to be very easy to work with
⁃ as you were a warrior, you were both instructed to look out and keep the hotel safe as there was a small event taking place inside, the flashing lights could attract monsters which was the last thing everybody wanted
⁃ though today, it seemed pretty quiet
⁃ besides the people chattering and the sounds of plates and glasses clinking together
⁃ xiao and you were sitting on the balcony, looking for any threats in the area
⁃ nothing
⁃ you sneaked a glace at him, oh fuck never mind he's looking at you
⁃ you quickly looked away, secretly praying that he didn't notice you creepily watching him for a second
⁃ you could feel his eyes burning in the back of your head as you finally summoned the courage to turn your head back around slowly to face him once again
⁃ and he was still looking at you
⁃ wtf was he thinking ?? you can't read his expression
⁃ was it surprise? disgust? love? horror? who knows
⁃ though, if you looked a little closer, you'd see a faint pink taint on his cheeks
⁃ during work he wouldn't even look at you, and would try his best to keep chat to a bare minimum
⁃ though, if you were in trouble, he would always swoop in and take care of you
⁃ once you were safe, he'd give you a quick nod and clear off the rest of the areas
⁃ VENTI would be more than happy to work with you, maybe a little too happy
⁃ though, the tone-deaf bard never really seemed to do any actual work
⁃ he always managed to drag you into a tavern and get drunk off his ass like a normal sunday evening
⁃ it's not like it wasn't funny seeing the god wobble around and annoy diluc
⁃ it's just that it distracted you from your work (and because you always had to carry him home because he would never let go of you)
⁃ he was really clingy when he was drunk, when you got a new commission, he would not let you go without him
⁃ you told him it was too dangerous for him to be out while not very sober, but he would not stop whining
⁃ "your soo mean ! i just want to spend time with you !"
⁃ so instead of going out and completing your commissions, you had to cuddle the bard, in a pretty suggestable position via his request, until he fell asleep which doesn't usually take too long
⁃ after he's asleep in your arms, you gently place him on a bed, or anything that looks comfy, and go out to do your job
⁃ the next day, a groggy and obviously hungover venti asks you what happened last night
⁃ it seems he can't remember the whole "let's cuddle" event because the short deity drank too much, as always
