3RD PERSON POV

It was a rainy day, Y/N zoned out as she stared off into the distance as the rain hit the window, "Miss L/N, could you please tell us the answer?" The teacher, Yelan, asked. The class she was in was geography and they were learning about the history of Liyue, despite not knowing the question since she was zoned out she answered, "Liyue's archon is 'The God of Contracts'". She was expecting students to laugh at her for giving the wrong answer but turns out she was right and just luckily guessed the question.

"Psst! Y/N~!" She heard someone whisper, it was Venti and he passed her a piece of paper. 'Did you know, Xiao isn't Xiao's name? It's Alatus! Well- Technically Xiao is his name but it's his second name!!' ( A/N: Don't even ask us why we thought this was a good idea) Y/N just stared back at him and wrote down her reply, 'Why must I know this? I mean the more I know about Xiao but why now out of all times? And the way you explained it was so confusing' and the two just had an entire conversation with a piece of paper the rest of the class.

Lunch came around, and the four boys together with their beloved Y/N went to sit down at a table in the far corner. "So- Y/N! Could you tell us more about your siblings?" Aether asked so he could get to know her more, "Well, my older brother can be overprotective at times but he can also get really annoying. And my two younger siblings, ugh you do not want to know what happened when I had to babysit them while my dad and brother went out for who knows what" Y/N complained while stuffing her face with food. "But enough about my siblings and I! Xiao! Could you tell us more about you? I haven't got to know you that well so I guess now could be the time!" She continued.

"I- Uhm- Where should I start...oh. I do have four older siblings-" Xiao said as he ate his almond tofu, "I have two sisters and two brothers. We moved in with Zhongli when he was a freshman like us, and until we started this band I lived with them. By them, I mean DCKZ and my siblings." All of them were surprised because this was the most Xiao has communicated with someone, but before Y/N could respond to him, two sophomores and juniors came up to their table and stood behind Xiao.

"A~ la~ tus~ Look who's here!" A girl wearing a blue sweater and the school's uniform chimed as she hugged Xiao from behind, "Big sis Bon...please stop-", the other four looked at them in confusion until Y/N stood up and went to them, "Oh..my..god...YOU'RE SO PRETTY!!" She complimented the two females there. "Xiao, why don't you introduce us to your friends?" An older male in yellow commented as he stepped forward.

As Xiao was about to refuse the offer, he looked at Y/N whose eyes were sparkling to get to know them. "Ugh, fine, guys. These are my older siblings. This is Bonanus, she's the sister who's closest to my age. This is Indarias, the other sister. This is Bosacius, he may look like the oldest but he's the second oldest. And finally, this is Menogias, the oldest sibling." He explained without effort, "Awhh, look at little Xiao being embarrassed because of us~" The girl in red, Indarias, teased as she pulled on his cheek.

"Inda! Stop it! Let me eat in peace." The young boy retaliated as he tried to continue eating, but they didn't notice that Bosacious dragged away the other three boys somewhere. "Okay~ We'll let little Xiao eat his food~ Morax is gonna get mad at us either way," Bonanus said and the four of them walked away into a crowd. "You know, your siblings seem pretty fun! And I thought you didn't have siblings from how edgy you are" Y/N teased as she poked Xiao. "Uhm, sorry if I change the subject- But would you like to go see a movie with me? Just us two-" He offered, despite expecting a rejection, Y/N agreed. "O-Of course! I'd love to!"

It was still raining and Xiao asked his older siblings to distract the other boys, "Hey Y/N, come here, get under the umbrella." Xiao said in his monotone voice. They were walking towards the nearby mall to watch the movie 'Coming soon' or something like that. It was Bonanus' idea to watch a horror movie because in her eyes, Y/N would get scared and Xiao would 'protect' her in a way.

"Come to think of it, was there another member of 4nemo before I joined as the manager? Because I remember there were five vocals in the songs I used to listen to" Y/N asked while looking at Xiao, "Well...there was one member but he's been on leave for who knows how long by now." The male grumbled at the thought of the extra member just leaving, "Could you tell me a bit more about him?" Y/N asked, clearly clueless on why Xiao was upset about him being on leave. "I'm not that close with him, but he was a rapper alongside me. In fact, it was Kazuha who invited him to join, like how he invited you to be our manager." Xiao explained while they waited for the crossing light to turn green.

The girl next to him carefully listened, "His name was Heizou. Shikanoin Heizou to be exact." Xiao continued, "He...I mean- I didn't really talk to him much, the only interactions we had was when we discussed choreography and lyrics." And before they knew it they were already at the cinema. "Oh! We're already here? Wait let me just get out my wallet, let's buy some snacks!" Y/N said as she pulled out her cat Kenma coin purse. But Xiao had already pre-ordered their snacks, thanks to Morax...well...mostly Childe and Bosacius.

*⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*⳾*⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*❀⑅*

The two didn't realize how much time had passed until they left the cinema, it was already dark out yet the rain was still pretty heavy. "I don't think we can reach back to the apartment with only one umbrella, did you bring one?" Xiao asks, "N-No I forgot mine at the apartment because I thought I would be able to run home from the school" The H/C-haired girl responded. But just as she said that a gray car pulled up in front of them, Xiao thought they were gonna get kidnapped because he's an idol, and Y/N was just a female so he moved Y/N behind him and used his own body as a human shield.

As the window slowly rolled down, it revealed that it was just Xiao's sisters. "Alatus! There you guys are~ Get in the car, come on!" Bonanus motioned for them to enter the vehicle. The two freshmen sat in the backseat still in confusion about how Xiao's sisters knew when they would leave the cinema. "Not to be nosy about your relationship but~ Are you two dating?" Indarias said with a straight face. "O-Of course not! We're just friends!" Xiao scoffed while he crosses his arms. But he muttered another two words before the sophomore duo in the front seats would interrogate them with more questions.

"Not yet.."
