genre : fluff
pairing : xiao x reader✖︎ | "xiaaooo !" exclaimed [name] , she came running with a plate of almond tofu . the male who's name was 'xiao' turned his head - looking at the girls direction . he nodded - signifying he would eat with her .
this was practically a routine for the two - [name] would come visit xiao very often . most would believe they were lovers but knowing xiao , they assumed they were at the best - friends .
although verr goldet would have some thoughts that say otherwise . such as when she caught xiao smiling around you — seeing the yaksha smile was a very odd , scene ? considering how he had an extremely traumatic past and usually has this cold demeanor . [name] seemed to be the only thing that kept this man smiling , like a bright light in a dark room . it only shined so far , but far enough to where you could see .
"here !" [name] set down the plate on the table , as she took a seat . xiao appeared next to her , sitting across from [name] ... usually he'd eat as fast as he could to avoid having her start a conversation , or at least dim the human contact to the bare minimum . yet this time -
he just stared .. [name] didn't mind but it did make her flustered . she found the yaksha .. to be attractive . despite his height which most found adorable , he was extremely caring towards [name] . whenever she called out his name , he'd appear . and whenever she was in danger he somehow knew and would slay the monster .
[name] has a vision so she could defend herself yet xiao always says "you don't deserve to stain your hands with these monsters ." so she just let him do whatever she wanted . [name] was originally from inazuma so she was clueless when it came to the adepti and yaksha .
she came to liyue to study for awhile but then inazuma suddenly went lock down and everything .. "[name] ." xiao suddenly said , she jumped at her name being mentioned - "yes ..?" she awkwardly responded ; they were quiet for a long time afterall .
once again , xiao stared . "u uhm - xiao you called me , do you need something .?" he ate an almond tofu - "sorry , i just said your name cause i like it . it sounds cute ." he continued eating after apologizing . [name] was confused but moreover this reminded her of a toddler somehow .
"o oh .." she said somewhat embarrassed and flustered , xiao was thinking . whenever he was near [name] he felt his body go hot , he would feel nervous and would have trouble finding his words to speak to her . of course it didn't feel bad , it felt nice to feel this way . considering whenever he'd wanna say "you look lovely today ." it come out as "......" .
he didn't know what this feeling was , so he talked to verr goldet about it - and she said it was 'love' . now being the (emo) yaksha he is . he had no idea of this feeling , guess that's what being a demon that slaughtered many people does to you .
"[name] ." xiao said again - "what's love ?" he asked as [name] nearly spat out her food . "w - well it's this feeling , y'know - whenever you see someone you like .." she tried to explain . "what does it feel like ?" [name] froze , fumbling with her fingers .. blushing . she wasn't one to talk about this subject , considering how much of a hopeless romantic she is .
i mean that's why you guys are reading this fanfic right ? ya'll are lonely (💀) .
"you feel .. uhm , in my experience . i'd feel hot ? but not in a attractive way — i'd feel nervous and have trouble finding my words , to we'll speak to them !!" [name] said blushing each second , xiao simply listened with a straight face as his arms were crossed and legs as well . leaning back in the chair and looking at [name] .
"it didn't feel - like horrible , it felt like a nice feeling . but it did suck when i tried to speak and just sounded all weird or didn't say anything at all ehe .." she laughed nervously looking up at xiao in some hope of - well , acceptation ? of what she said . she hopes she didn't seem weird in his eyes ,,
"ah .. so what i feel for you ?" he just said randomly , "w ... what ?" [name] went bright red - was this a confession ? "hmm so .." xiao got up as you squeaked , he went closer to you . and he went on his knee's ; holding onto your hand he looked up kissing it .
"i love you , [name] ." he said calmly , [name] practically felt like she went up to heaven .. "u uhm .. i , i love you too xiao ." she struggled to say .. blushing intensely . finally , she saw him show her a soft smile .
he then laughed brightly and hugged her right , "thank you ."
for once ,
xiao experienced something ... bright in his cold dark world .
