// death, blood
[ xiao wakes up after being hit unconscious for quite a while. the unknown god of celestia had rained down on liyue after obliterating mondstat. ]
[ morax yells to him while fighting the unknown god ]
"XIAO, GO TEND TO MS. TAO, SHE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU"
[ xiao suddenly remembers everything that happened. hu tao had a fatal blow from the unknown god. Beidou was tending to ningguang's head injury, ganyu helped the city flee, and keqing.. lets just say that sacrifices were made. ]
[ xiao turns around, but struggles to get on his 2 feet ]
) "h-hu tao.."
[ unresponsive ]
[ xiao stumbles while running over to hu tao ]
"hu tao.."
[ hu tao groans in pain ]
"HU TAO-"
[ xiao eventually gets to her, just to see the disaster that had become ]
[ hu tao seemed to be fine, until.. ]
"hu tao, a-are you alright..? you're not hurt are you?"
* cough cough *
"please don't worry, i don't like it when you're worried about me"
[ xiao puts his hand underneath of hu tao to support her ]
"w-what happened.. how.... who..."
* cough coguh *
[ blood had been spat out onto hu taos hand, xiaos eyes were a blur ]
"you need a doctor.. cmon, get up, let's go-"
"no, they can't help me."
"bu-" [ silence ]
"remember that time, when we met at guizhong buhllista.. and you got mad because i followed you around..?"
"hu tao..."
[ never in a million years had hu tao see tears come from xiaos eyes. this seemed to be a "special" occasion ]
[ blood had started to pour out of hu taos body and onto xiaos hand ]
"please don't cry.. think happy thoughts..!"
[ xiao held hu tao closer ]
"i don't want to lose you.. not again.. not like the others.."
"but you're not losing me, i'll always be in your heart, right?"
[ xiao bows his head, crying silently ]
"it's quite a rainy day, isn't it?"
[ hu tao sniffs ]
"100% off... all coffins!"
[ xiao cant bear the sight of hu tao dying ]
[ he pulls hu tao in and kisses her on the lips ]
"i love you. i've been waiting for years to say that."
"i'm sorry that i made you wait so long.. you shouldn't have to go like this"
"tell everyone that they were amazing and kind and friendly and that I couldn't have asked for more , will you?"
[ xiao was silent ]
"thank you xiao.."
[ hu tao dies off silently, all bloody and cold ]
"i love you too.."
[ xiao cant help but scream as loud as he could. he hasn't felt this kind of pain since..]
[ xiao vowed to protect this city with everything that he has. for her. ]
