The King's Avatar one-shot (xreader)

Ye Xiu- Masquerade

Masquerades were all about costumes. Brilliant costumes that hid anyone's identity.

Mysterious. Glamorous and guilty. Those three words described tonight's party.

Yet, there was one person that was less than mysterious and no matter how much he disguised himself, it was obvious who he was.

He was practically followed by a swarm of people or rather pro players who literally asked him to play a match with him.

Precisely, mostly Huang Shaotian and Sun Xiang.

You definitely had no interest in any of the pro players. The reason why you came today- yes, it was because of the food!

Indeed, the food sent by heavens, cooked by the most revered cook and his magic fingers. The one whose restaurant stood atop of all Michelin starred restaurants.

Who cared about any stupid pro players if this heavenly treasure was right in front of you?

You immediately walked to the buffet and tried some of the canapes and indeed your tastebuds tingled and craved more. 

However, your newfound love and happiness was only short-lived, soon masses of people flocked to the table and all fought for the food. You could barely escape and make it out alive from the mess.

Those people should start acting more dignified! Were you in a damn zoo?

You looked around and didn't see the group of pro players anymore. Perhaps they all mingled with others or even participated in the food massacre.

You didn't care and needed a breather.

You went to the balcony outside for fresh air.

For a while, you stood there and admired the gorgeous night scene. The balcony was huge so as an exercise after all the food, you walked around yet when you came back to the spot in the corner you noticed an ashtray with a lit cigarette on the railing of the balcony.

You looked around, no one was there. You put the cigarette out and sighed. How careless of someone to leave their cigarette like this. What if it could start a fire?

After a few minutes, you got hungry again and walked inside. The battle for food worn you out so you went to the balcony again and there it was!

Another lit cigarette yet no one was around. You put it out and enjoyed your food. Who in the world left their dangerous belonging like this?

After another few minutes, you got thirsty. You went inside to get a drink, came out again and for the third time, a lit cigarette rested in the ashtray next to the corpses of his fellow brothers.

Furious you put it out, ready to throw the ashtray off the balcony if it wasn't pure pollution!

This time, however, you needed to pee and sure enough, like an obedient dog waiting for its owner the lit cigarette bathed in the blood of his companions, and like it didn't learn from their mistakes it mocked you in your face.

Pissed to the brink even though you just relieved yourself, you took the cigarette about to destroy that cheeky red glim before a voice with a hint of a chuckle stopped you.

"So, you were the one who continuously makes me waste my precious cigarettes. What are you doing? I'm just trying to smoke."

You turned around and saw a male dressed in a formal attire with a black coat around his shoulders. His mask couldn't hide the small smile that played on his lips.

"Same to you, what are you doing? Leaving them like this?" you weren't going to back down.

"Like I said, I was just trying to smoke but I keep getting called in so I left them here for when I come back but every time I do so, someone had already put them out," he shrugged his shoulders.

Your cheeks felt hot. So embarrassing! It wasn't exactly your fault but it still was. Ah, you wished you could jump off the balcony and fly to your own demise.

"Or could it be, this was your way trying to get my attention?" his little smile was illuminated in the moonlight as he approached you and confined you against the railing between his arms.

"Why would I want to get your attention? I don't even know who you are!"

A lie. This was a blatant lie. Of course, you knew this shameless person in front of you. Ye Xiu who else?

Who would even think that someone was trying to woo him in this situation? Was he always this full of himself?

He laughed then pushed you further against the railing.

"Don't worry, no one will see us."

He was right, no one would see you. You were in the darkest part of the balcony and not to mention in a corner, far away from the doors.

Most people wouldn't even think to come here but this was not the concern! The concern was his audacity to do what he wanted to you. Like for example his cheeky thumb that trailed along your lips.

"Were you that occupied with my cigarettes that you forgot to eat properly? You made quite the mess out of yourself. You've got food crumbles all over your mouth," he chuckled.

The embarrassment!

You slapped his hand away and tried to find a way to get out of this embrace.

"Thinking of escaping? But you still need to repay me for the things you destroyed? This was my last one..." as he said that he cheekily put out his own cigarette.

Your eyes widened. What in the world was that man doing?

"What will satisfy my cravings now?" 

Even though he wore a mask you could see that sly eye smile he had.

This damn guy!

And then suddenly, he held you up and sat you on the railing. Just one wrong move and you could fall off!

Realising this you immediately wrapped your arms around him and prayed he would let you down.

"Now, now, no need to be afraid. This is just a small punishment, of course-" he briefly took off his mask,

"the bigger punishment will happen in my room."

He smiled and you melted under his touch before he put his mask back on.
