Hex has spent her whole life dreaming of living in a fairy tale but what if that was already happening
this is Xingqiu x reader modern au story
none of the characters belong to me
Once we step inside my place I say to Xingqiu "so are you gonna wear the dress?" with a slight smirk on my face "fine, but only because your tops are too small and the ice cream is frustrating me." he replies. A big smile crawls onto my face as I drag him into my sister's room. I smile at her and explain the situation after a moment she responds with "Ah I've got the perfect thing." as she pulls out a dress from her cupboard. I show Xingqiu to the bathroom and give him a few minutes to get dressed and eventually he comes out of the bathroom and shows you.

(what I imagine the dress looking like)
"M'lady," I say holding out my hand with a laugh teasing him. He facepalms but then takes my hand as I lead him to my room.
When we step inside the first thing I do is flop down on my princess bed that my parents had brought me when I was younger because I constantly said I wanted to be one I still did but no one not even your closest friends knew that they simply thought you had grown out of it you were scared that if you told anyone you would just be called "childish." or "immature"
"What do you want to do?" I ask the boy "Im not sure, maybe watch a movie." he replies. I nod in agreeance. We lie down on my bed and put on Cinderella.
"I'm so envious of her, why can't my life be like a fairy tale." I say after a while, forgetting that Xingqiu was there "my liege, you still want that?" the boy questioned. You could feel the blood rush up to your cheeks as you realized that you had just reviled what you did to him "N-no, why would I have such childish hopes like that." you said rubbing the back of your neck hoping he would believe your lie. "My liege you wouldn't look so flustered if you didn't still want that. My only question is why would you lie about it?" the boy states. "Isn't it obvious? Im turning 17 this year its dumb and immature of me to be wanting something so childish at this age I wouldn't be surprised if you pretty much never talked to me again." at this point tears were rolling down my face Ignoring them I continue "I mean like I wouldn't want to be friends with someone whos still stuck in a childish fantasy like this, someone who whenever there bored looks at crowns and princess gowns, someone who pretty much always has to think of being the princess in a faraway place whenever they cry, someone who has like 17 Pinterest boards each dedicated to living a fairy tale one way or another, someone who practices etiquette and manners just in case they need to put them to good use, someone who thinks of little stories in their head where they're ballroom dancing at a masquerade ball with their crush to help them get to sleep, someone who cries every. Single. Month. Because nothing magical or enchanting has happened to them. I wouldn't want to be friends with someone like me." you say about to keep going on but before you could you feel someone hugging you and saying
"it's not dumb or immature of you. Also of course I want to remain friends with you, might I remind you that me and Chongyun made friends with the little girl who was always pretending to be a princess at the top of the playground at school waiting for a brave prince to come and rescue her, me and Chongyun made friends with the girl who would always tell us about how when she was older she was going to go live of in a faraway kingdom married to the most handsome, kind prince any one could ever dream of, me and Chongyun became friends with the girl who would always say she wanted a crown, me and Chongyun became friends with the girl who always had thousands of different drawings of her in a fairy tale life, me and Chongyun became friends with the girl who would always ask us to dance whenever she heard a slow song, me and Chongyun became friends with the girl who was crying when she thought she would never be a princess because she couldnt talk to animals, me and Chongyun became friends with the girl who acted like a princess, the girl who was you. Why would we not want to be friends with the girl we made friends within the first place to be honest I was kinda upset when that bit of your personality started to fade because I felt like I was losing the girl I became friends with. just because you're older doesn't mean you have to give up on your dreams from when you were a kid." after he finishes saying this he tightens his hug.
We both just sit there for a minute him hugging me and me slowly calming down. "Now I think we better rewatch Cinderella, considering it ended already and this time you can make comments about whatever you want because I can guarantee that nothing will make me want to stop being friends with you." says the boy, when he doesn't get a response he checks on you only to see your sound asleep.
He lays you down on your bed and lets go of his hug gently, trying not to wake you. He looks at the time and realizes he should go home now. He looks at you before he leaves and says "goodnight my Princess." and walks out the door he then gets his top on in the bathroom and gives (y/n)'s sister's dress back to her. He goes downstairs and explains to (y/n)'s mum that you fell asleep and then says goodbye and thanks her for having him. On Xingqius's way home he can't think help but think about how much he hated seeing (y/n) like that but he realized that he had more than just a little crush on (y/n)
