"I'm sorry... [Y/N]. But there isn't much we can do against your disease. Unfortunately... you only have about one month more to live."

You just sat there, frozen, speechless. You could barely even process it. A week ago it was only just a small cough. Like everyone who would end up sharing the same fate as you said:

Why me?

"I suggest spending time with your loved ones, sight seeing. Anything you wanted to do in your lifetime, do it now while you can."

You spent that whole night crying your eyes out. You always dreamed big, and this destroyed every possibility of that. You had so many things you wanted to accomplish.

You didn't even get to tell him you loved him.

The sun peeked through the window of your room. You knew what you had to do, knowing the little time you have left. You swiftly got out of bed and cleaned yourself up, getting dressed, and headed out the door. You have everything to lose right now, so you have to make the most of every last living, breathing moment.

You walked to a quiet pond, not that far from Liyue. It was your favourite place to read books, or just relax after a stressful day. You were only coughing right now, but soon it would get worse.

And he could sense your pain too.

You called his name. And he appeared.

"I'm here, [Y/N]." Xiao -your best friend in the whole world- looked around, thinking you were in danger, though, noticed you didn't seem to be in any harm.

"For the last time, I told you to call me if you needed me. Not when you're relaxing by the water." he spat. He quickly saw the decayed expression on your face, and he quickly became concerned.

"Xiao... I think you should sit down." you patted the space beside you on the bench. Xiao slowly walked to sit beside you. He was analyzing everything about you, trying to figure it out before you have even said it.

"What's wrong..?" he asked, worried. The suspense was killing him. But you didn't do it on purpose. It was just... hard to get the words out. Especially to the one you loved the most.

"It's my time." you said. He stared at you, puzzled.

"Don't play damn mind games with me [Y/N]. What do you mean?!" you simply kept smiling at him.

"I have to leave soon, very... soon."

"So... what. You're moving? You know I don't care. Like I said before, no matter where you are. Call my name, and i'll come." Xiao sat up thinking that was the end of the conversation.

"I'm dying, Xiao." just as he was walking away, he stopped. Frozen in his tracks. You wanted to be strong for Xiao. Let him know you weren't scared. It took everything in you not to burst into tears again.

".... that isn't funny." he said. He turned around, expecting you to burst into laughter and say 'You should have seen the look on your face!'.

But all he got was a blank stare.

Everything in him, broke. He... broke. Xiao could see his shattered heart on the floor in front of him. He didn't' believe you.

"[Y/N] that's not fucking funny! What the fuck is wrong with you?!" You knew he would resort to anger. It was understandable.
