The King's Avatar one-shot (xreader)

Shaotian- Masquerade

Eager, you moved around the room until you spotted him.

In his white attire, laced with blue and golden strands, he truly looked like a shining knight. Even hidden behind his mask, you could guess it was Huang Shaotian.

You inconspicuously drew closer to him. He was surrounded by a bunch of people. Finally, when you were close enough to see him better, you mingled among the circle of people next to his, pretending to be talking to anyone in this party while your eyes slyly stole a few glances at him.

However, you were caught off guard by how little Shaotian actually spoke. Was that really him? You didn't mistake him for someone else?

You were quite confident in spotting him but seeing him, unlike his usual self, dumbfounded you.

Who was this person? An imitator? Imposter? Or did a magic spell cast the usual chattery Shaotian into a silent sufferer unable to use his curse of words to hack people's ears off?

You tried to remain calm. Your heart raced as you looked for any plausible explanation. The only thing you came up with, that slightly made sense was that perhaps since this was a masquerade, he tried to keep his identity hidden.

Was that why he was willing to endure, to suffer to shut his pretentious mouth?

You were moved, tears could spill any moment. In awe, you looked at him: What a brazen man. So inspiring!

Of course, you were just taking the piss out of him and didn't realise you were giggling like crazy. It seemed to have sent ominous and threatening vibes to Shaotian as he directly looked at you.

You immediately turned around and pretended nothing happened. You must've looked like a creep. You had no ulterior motives nor did you want to approach Shaotian to strike up a conversation. 

It was nothing like that. You gave yourself a mission tonight- to identify and meet all the pro players but this didn't include to interact with them. You simply wanted to see them up close.

But now you were about to experience what it meant to have your plan fall through. 

Out of your eye corners, you saw Shaotian excusing himself and approaching you. As natural as you could, you left your spot and made your way through the big hall. You had no clue why you wanted to avoid meeting him or if he was after you at all but for some reason, the event's theme wasn't as friendly as it seemed.

What would happen if you saw him without his mask? He could punish you any way he liked and that meant...

You'd be drowned and suffocated in his oncoming tide of words!

No, no, no! This was not how you'd spent your night. Never!

You quickly left the main hall and found yourself in a gorgeous and elegant hallway with many doors. No one else was there.

Curious to see what loomed behind these doors, you stood in front one, already opening it a tad when a hand slammed against the door to shut it and you felt the weight of a body trapping you.

"Found you," a hoarse voice whispered in your ear, the hot breath tingled your earlobe and left behind an increasingly warm feeling.

"Wha-" you turned around but just in that moment, the person opened the door and you feel through.

You landed on the ground and looked up to witness Shaotian locking the door.

The mask that hid half of his face couldn't cover his lips turning into a small smile.

"Why are you crawling on the floor like this? Haha, don't tell me you were so dazzled that you thought to worship me like this is the only way? Isn't it so? Isn't it? C'mon say something! Haha, I'm truly too handsome!"

It was because you threw me on the ground, but you bit back the remark and waited.

Waited for the moment to escape.

Shaotian suddenly crouched down and met your height. He closed in.

"You didn't just think about escaping right? If you had the audacity, who knew what would happen to you, right? Right?" Shaotian smiled again and his hands started to remove his mask.

"No!" you shouted and slapped the mask back in his face.

You crawled away and stood up while Shaotian whined in pain.

You couldn't afford for him to take off his mask and let you be punished.

"Fck," Shaotian cursed, "you really had the damn audacity! What do I look like to you? Hm, a stupid toy? Do I? I already get played by the captain and now I gotta endure this? Hey, apologise! Come here and apologise you- Huh? Where are you?"

You currently hid behind the sofa in the room. It looked like a normal hotel conference room just without the chairs and tables but an abundance of sofas. Along the walls, tables lined up full with champagne glasses and snacks.

"Do you really think you could fool me?" Shaotian shouted as he finally found you but you kicked him in the legs.

He fell to the floor but then dragged you by the ankles to him. He was in control and no matter how hard you struggled you weren't able to resist him.

"Now, let's see how you shameless person look like underneath hehe," the moment Shaotian touched your mask, you smacked your head against his and freed yourself from his embrace.

"Damn you brat! Just wait until I-" but you didn't hear him as you jumped over the sofas to get to the door. However, you underestimated Shaotian and he soon caught up to you.

He pressed you against the table: "Stop running away! I might be good at running in-game but it's different in real life! So, stop giving me so many problems. You really have the nerves to make me this angry! Do you even know what you did? You manhandled a great and superior God! So-" Shaotian stopped.

You were confused but then you saw his grin. A bad foreboding overcame you.

He pushed you further against the table to the point it started to hurt. His legs confined your hips and you were trapped.

He took off his mask and a mischievous, childish glint in his eyes sent sparks to your heart. He took one of the glasses and poured the champagne all over your clothes.

Shocked, you tried to push him away but he swept you off the feet and threw you on the sofa: "Looks like you can't go out dirty like this but don't worry-"

His nose traced along your neck until his lips caressed your ear once again,

"my punishment will keep you all night."
