Xingyun Oneshots

1 - Cuts and Scrapes

Xingqiu winced as his icy-haired friend grazed his fingers over the red cuts on his knee. They had been out for a commission fighting a group of monsters, nothing they couldn't handle, but Xingqiu took a bad fall near the end and scraped up his hands and knees.

"Do you have any bandages?" Chongyun asked, cocking his head to one side and his ahoge bouncing with it.

"Unfortunately not, I ran out of them just this morning."

Chongyun's nodded at his response, and sitting in front of him crisscrossed he leaned forward to delicately kiss Xingqiu's knee.

The hydro user's face erupted in a shade of pink threatening on red as he speechlessly watched the other then plant kisses on his palm.

When Chongyun looked up, he was surprised to see how flustered his best friend was. "W-what's wrong? Does it hurt that much?" He asked worriedly, fearing that he was doing more harm than good.

"N-no, Dear Chongyun, its just, I didn't expect you to do that. It's usually only a gesture that a mother does to her child, or in rarer cases, romantic partners do to each other." He smiled innocently, though secretly hoping the other would catch on.

"But, we're not boyfriends?" Chongyun questioned whilst blushing at the thought.

"Unfortunately not, but, I still like it."  Xingqiu declared, crossing his arms.

Chongyun didn't seem to get what Xingqiu was trying to imply, and as such just asked if he should continue or not.

"Yes, please. I can feel the pain going away already." He giggled.

As per his request, Chongyun complied and kissed his palm again, then the side of his hand, and then his knuckles before going on to the other hand.

All the while, Xingqiu bites his lip and watches, trying to seem indifferent to the act. In the process, his lip ends up bleeding, which he noted once a metallic-y taste was in his mouth when he grazed over his lips with his tongue.

It was then that Xingqiu got his best (or worst, who's to judge?) idea yet.

"Hey, Chongyun." He called the cryo boy's attention.

He tapped his lips with his index finger to put Chongyun's attention on the small bit of blood. "My lip's bleeding, will you give me a kiss to make it feel better?"

Chongyun jumped a bit at the advance and focused his attention on trying to calm his Yang energy down.

"B-but Xingqiu, those are your lips. That's kind of- wait a minute, did you do that on purpose?"

Xingqiu leaned in close so the other could see every highlight in his amber eyes, down to the very last detail.

"Actually, I didn't. But it still hurts a little. Won't you kiss it better, 'Yu?"

Chongyun was utterly confused, his emotions being pulled in every direction and the boy in front of him sending mixed signals- or ones that flew over his head.

"X-Xingqiu, that's more like a, well, a romantic thing! That's not really something I'd do as your friend!" He tried.

"I know." Xingqiu states bluntly.

All at once, Chongyun short-circuits, thankful for a popsicle at hand. He takes a moment to bite into it and chew the flavorless treat thoughtfully, all the while Xingqiu giving him time as Chongyun having to keep his condition in check was not unorthodox.

Gripping the popsicle stick and taking a final bite before breathing out, Chongyun looks back to Xingqiu, whose own face is bright pink with an unreadable expression.

"So, you want me to...kiss you, not as a friend? And not as a gesture to make your lip stop hurting like I did with your hands and knee?" He questioned before Xingqiu blew.

"For archon's sake Chongyun, yes! Do you get it now?" He laughs.

Chongyun's blushes in both realization and embarrassment, a feeling like butterflies erupting in his stomach and a sudden wave of confidence washing over him.

From the heat of all that had transpired, his confidence soared and he nodded to Xingqiu's question before quickly leaning forward to close the gap between them.

Xingqiu was pleasantly surprised to say the least, not expecting his friend to make the first move. He shivered from the chill of the other's lips, the cause being the popsicle he had consumed.

Slowly, he himself gave in, and after a moment pulled away with a smile.

"Thank you, Yun. My lips feel much better now!" He grinned happily.

Chongyun puts his head down in embarrassment and takes another bite of his popsicle. "Really? This was my first time kissing anyone romantically, so I was kind of nervous..." He said while nibbling the frozen delicacy.

"It was my first as well, and I'd say you did rather well!"

"Whew, that's good to hear."

As Xingqiu sits back again, Chongyun notices how he winced when he struggles to comfortably place his leg. So after Xingqiu was seated and resting his eyes, he placed another kiss on his knee and brings the other's delicate hand to his lips.

"You are the best at these kisses, though." Xingqiu says quietly, a faint smile on his face.

The other nods.

"I'll be sure to give you plenty whenever you get hurt, then."

And with that, he softly kissed his palm and rested his gaze upon the boy of his affection.
