Vendetta (Xiao x Male Reader)

Prologue

"Xiao?"

"Oh you're awake. How are you feeling?"

You could only groan in response, touching the bandages around your forehead. Though you don't recall ever hurting your head in the first place, "What happened here?"

"I'm guessing you don't remember. You injured your head while wandering around Jueyun Karst. Why were you even there in the first place? You could be so clumsy sometimes, it's embarrassing."

"Don't treat me like a child." You rubbed your head and pouted, "And for your information, I remembered everything. I just don't recall hurting my head in the process of visiting Moon Carver." 

"You remember everything?"

"Yes."

"As in..everything?"

"Yes Xiao, everything."

Xiao gave you a look. That same look he always gives you when he thinks you're not telling him the entire truth. The fact of the matter is, all you remembered was what happened at Jueyun Karst. But you had a feeling that Xiao knew more than he was letting on.

"Xiao...I think it's time."

A part of him was dreading for this moment to happen. But another part of him looked forward to the aftermath. When you find out the truth— find out about everything. But he knew..that blissful moment would only happen for a few moments. He recalled the countless of meetings he had with the Geo Archon before his false passing. Discussing the potential war you would cause as soon as you stepped foot back onto Liyue.

"Usually I would refuse to tell you anything but..if you do remember everything from earlier today then I guess there's no hiding it any more...Beleth. God of Fate."
