‼️‼️TW: some mentioning of blood and old wounds.

(A/N) sorry this took so long, I didn't have motivation and as I am writing this, it is currently 3:a.m 😍
———————————————————

"Xiao?"

Was the last word that came out of your mouth before waiting for something, anything, to happen. You took a couple more seconds to catch your breathe, before pouting, in hopes to meet the adeptus.

You waited and waited, for what felt like hours, until impatience had got the best of you.

"Um, Hello? Adeptus Xiaooo?" You leaned your back on the edge of the balcony with the mouth-watering plate of almond tofu in one hand. Your old wounds from the day before had started to itch, causing you to get more irritated. Putting the plate down , you began to scratch your arms, and other places where you had gained cuts. Eventually, blood had began to form from the small cuts.

Your mind had soon started to focus more on the excruciating pain than your surroundings, not realizing that something, no, someone had appeared in front of you.

—————————————————————

"Shit.." you whispered under your breath without realization.

"You shouldn't let wounds like that go untreated. It could cause an infection." A raspy voice from in front of you had uttered.

Your head jolted up, causing you to be in more pain than you already are, yet you still stared at him. Astonished.
He was beautiful. You could admire him for years, but what had caught your attention was his yellow, cat-like eyes, piercing through you. Not in a bad way, but they also looked soft.

His body had strolled over to you to get a close look. Ever so slowly, he had grabbed your arm, examined it, and looked back up and you, before saying- "Wait here. I need to get you something."

And just like that, he disappeared. Leaving a small faint trail of anemo behind. You were in absolute awe, forgetting the fact that he was a literal adeptus. Though it had quickly ended, after seeing the sight of the man in front of you, once again.
He came back with what seemed to be a medical box, mostly including the things that you had forgot to pack on your trip to Liyue.

'Nice one, idiot.' You thought in your head, silently punching yourself. You had already knew that safety was the most important thing for travelling, yet you decided to be minacious and end up in the situation that you are currently in.

Being treated by someone you hardly know.

————————————————————
Xiao had started wrapping your wounds on your arms. His touch was soft, and light. The way his fingers caressed your skin made you tingle. He was ever so gentle with you, like a porcelain doll.

Quickly snapping out of your day dreaming, you tried to think of a topic you thought he would like, but nothing came to mind. You wanted to spark up a conversation with him but you didn't know how.

Without thinking, you had blurted out- "Why didn't you come the first time I called you?"

No response.

'Oh. My. God.'
The next few minutes of him wrapping bandages around you were so awkward. It made you want to curl up into a ball and DIE.
The tension in the room was so thick, you could cut it with a knife.

'What should I do? What does one even do in a situation like this?! This is so embarrassing.. Uh.. oh. Oh.. OH! THE TOFU!'
Your eyes widened at the brilliant idea, and without hesitation, you began to speak,

"I brought almond tofu." You said ever so quickly, with the straightest face ever. As you waited for a reaction, your eyes glanced down at Xiao, as he was wrapping bandages around your ankle. What is he doing? Why is he looking away? Why-

Then it hit you.

He was... blushing? But why?

You couldn't get that image of Xiao blushing out of your head, it was like a broken movie record, replaying the same scene over and over again.

Although you didn't know why, it was so godamn cute. Pretending you didn't see, you continued to speak to Xiao, in hopes for him to actually talk back to you.

"When your done... ya know.. doing your thing, would you like to have a chat with me as you eat your tofu?"

Xiao nods before his rough, yet calming voice had began to be heard.

"Although I prefer eating alone.." he stopped looking away.

"Having some company once in a while might not be as bad.." you were blushing profusely after hearing that coming from Xiao. A very beautiful man who had actually invited you, you to eat with him?!? Well.. it wasn't exactly an invitation, but you get the point.. you were still spending time with someone you actually liked.

"That sounds nice."
