Okay, okay. You just got intimate with the guy you like, who normally can't even give you a hug, and now things are awkward. How do you fix it? Simple! By taking my rage out on Timmy's pigeons. Yeah, those pigeons. I could go for some bird right now. Wait... what if Timmy gets so much trauma from the constant terrorizing that he starts his villain arc? Pffft. As if.

Ah, yes, the beautiful bridge to Mondsatdt. Oh! And there are those pigeons! Hehehe, I am going to enjoy this.

(Not even a minute later)

"M-my pigeons! *hic* What *hic* Was that *hic* tornado thingy?" Shit, I was not prepared for Timmy to cry like that. Okay, game face. You are a people person! Totally...
"Oh Timmy, why are you crying? What happened?" I ask in the sweetest voice I can muster from my guilt as I bend so that I can see Timmy's face.
"My- *hic* My pigeons! *hic* their all dead!"
"Oh no. Come, let's go, I'll make you something to eat if you stop crying. Then we can hold a funeral, just us, for these pigeons." I say, whilst secretly collecting the meat that my victims dropped.
"Okay..." Timmy says whilst I hold back laughter.

[♡°°°Later°°°♡]

I feel kinda bad that I fed Timmy the very birds that he was mourning the loss of, but it'll pass. I walk to the way point that I used to get here just to go back... but. I'm here anyway. I might as well go terrorize some Hillichurls!

[Later again! I'm too lazy to write about the Hillichurl slaughter of whatever time it is in genshin impact.]

Damn I got my victims blood on me. Someone's gonna think I killed someone. When in reality it was hundreds of thousands of Hillichurls. *sigh* "It's fine. At least I blew off some steam, I mean. I don't even know what to say to -"
"Lumine!" Xiao yells as he holds me by the shoulders. This is harassment. You keep showing up! In my mind, in my life, in my dreams.
"I didn't even call your name." I mumble. However, it was only met by Xiao shaking me silly.
"You scared me! Is that blood!? You're not bleeding, are you!?"
"It's fine, it's not even my blood." Xiao stopped shaking me, and he looked me dead in the eyes with the most serious and intense look on his face.
"Lumine. Did you kill someone?" Xiao asked. His cute, serious face when he said something that ridiculous is too funny, I can't even contain my laughter.
"Pfft! Oh my Archons, hah, you are so cute. Did you seriously think I killed someone? No! It's just Hillichurl blood." I say through my laughter. Xiao's serious face turned into a red, confused one. That's still a cute face. He still held on to my shoulders as he made sure I wasn't injured. He let go and then cleared his throat.
"Well, t-then you should get cleaned off."  Xiao took my hand and teleported to back to Wangshu Inn. I walked to the bathroom, and when I snuck a glance at Xiao, I saw him sit on the bed, but he was too far in, so his legs wouldn't touch the floor. He got frustrated when he noticed, and so he slid down to get up, just to sit back down closer to the edge. But I mean, how cute is that? I love that adorable Adeptus. I stifled a laugh.

Once I got out, I saw Xiao holding a box of sweets. Xiao doesn't really eat anything other than almond tofu, so... why? Is it for me? Haha, I think I'm being too delusional, I can't think that he wants to give me sweets. My heart would explode if I do. Xiao walked up to me. "Lumine. Uhm... I don't think we actually made anything official... So," Xiao pauses. He looks me in the eye, sending an arrow straight through my heart. "Lumine, Heh, it seems like the words I wanted to say escaped me. So, uhm... will you be my lover?"
"Yes." I say before jumping on Xiao and kissing him. "I love you so much. Just the very thought of you lifts my spirits up to Celestia." Xiao kissed me on the lips sweetly. He pulled his lips away and hugged me tightly. We stood there in complete, utter silence. I would say something, if I knew what to say. For now, I'll just hug him back.

We are officially together. Still, it feels so surreal. I guess I never thought he would like me back. But... it is real it really is! If my brother could see -
