Warnings: None

You take the same bus as him every morning. You’re a popular cheerleader, and he’s the quiet, studious boy in your class who doesn’t talk to anyone. You think he’s pretty cute, but he never notices you like everyone else does. What if he’s made to, after he has to tutor your failing ass?

* ˚ ✦ Read below the cut

15 - One of the few angel numbers known to symbolize love. If you haven't experienced being with someone for quite a while, you will soon come to experience feeling loved.

╭┈─────── ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ-╰┈➤ ❝ [07/12/22] ❞

Xiao takes bus 015 every morning.

You know this, because everyday you take the same one.

It’s usually very busy on the way to the school you attend, so you often struggled finding a seat.

When you’re taking the same bus everyday, you obviously start to notice commonplace things about it.

For example, you quickly picked up on the fact that the seat next to Xiao was always empty, even when the bus was practically about to burst.

You realized it wasn’t because no one wanted to sit there, but rather, nobody wanted to sit next to him.

He’s never been seen without earphones in, nor talking to somebody.

You’ve heard what your friends, and everyone else, says about him. That he’s unapproachable and rude, and is always studying.

Anyone that has ever even attempted to be his friend, or even rarer, date him, have been met with bitter rejection. He just likes being alone.

You, however, think he’s quite cute.

Of course, you thought he was kind of mean and standoffish the first time you ever had to interact with him, but a lot of bus rides ogling at him changes a person.

Like severely.

You always catch yourself daydreaming in the middle of cheer practice about him.

Like, what music is he listening to every morning? How does his hair remain oh-so utterly perfectly styled?

Your friends pick up on this behavior of yours very fast. They giggle behind your back, whispering about how you must’ve grown a crush on someone from the football team.

Itto, perhaps? You’re always partying and chatting with him.

They have absolutely no idea how wrong they are.

One day, when you were putting books into your locker, a teacher walked over to you and told you to go in the principal’s office.

Confused, you did as told, and sat down absolutely puzzled.

“Y/N, your grades are starting to suffer. If you can’t pass your upcoming exam, then you will fail this semester.”

You were stupefied. You knew all that partying and cheerleading left no time for school, but your grades couldn’t have been that bad, could they?

Alas, they were. But not to worry! Your principal had a solution.

“Xiao will tutor you.”

He walked into the room, muttered something under his breath, and looked at you with a sharp expression. He did not look happy.

What was his problem? Was tutoring you really going to be that bad?

Xiao clearly thought it was; it was written all over his face.

The thing is, he’s noticed for awhile now how you stare at him on the bus every morning. But what he hasn’t exactly realized is that you’re not doing it to make fun of him, but because you like him.

Why do you think he wears earphones all the time? To block out your staring!

So, he’s grown to somewhat dislike you, because you’re a popular cheerleader that probably talks behind his back for just existing, and he’s the reserved guy who always has an empty seat next to him on the bus.

Well, that seat wasn’t empty for long.

After your tutoring sessions began, you started to fill that seat out, and talked to him every morning. Well, attempted to.

He was like talking to a succulent.

Weird analogy, but it was literally like that. You try and shower it in all your love, but it doesn’t talk back. Like at all. You know it can hear you though

Overtime, you wear him down, and he finally starts having conversations with you on the way to school.

He would never admit it, but he actually enjoys your company.

He may have not liked you very much at first, but during your tutoring sessions he could see why you were so well-liked.

After spending so much time with you in preparation for your exams, he would pick up on little things about you.

For example, the way you bit your lip when thinking of an answer to a question, or how you often fidgeted with your pen when anxious or lost in thought.

He also noticed that he had started to like you.

At first, he tried to deny this to himself, because seriously? He doesn’t think he has a chance with you.

He’s not stupid. Nobody may talk to him, but they sure talk loud as hell.

He knows that you and Itto supposedly have something going on, and he would never dare try and compete with someone like him.

He doesn’t want to feel the shame and embarrassment of being rejected by you, especially when he knows there are people out there more... accepted.

He laughs to himself at this, because it’s usually him rejecting others. He dug his own grave for not being able to fit in, he thinks.

One day when he was teaching you about fancy math stuff, you zoned out and started paying more attention to his (pretty) face.

Absentmindedly, you reached out to play with a strand of his dyed hair, because how is it so healthy? You’ll never know.

He felt you stroking his hair, and immediately malfunctioned. What was he supposed to do? Brush you off?

No, instead, he buried his face in his hands, cheeks burning bright red. Even if he hid his face, you could clearly see the pink tint to the tips of his ears.

Oh, you were going to have fun with this.

The closer you got to Xiao, the more touchy you would be with him. It still took him awhile to get used to it. Scratch that, to control his reactions. His heart always beats like a galloping horse when you’re anywhere near him 💀

At this point, you consider each other friends. He comes to watch your cheer practices, and after they’re over, you take the bus back together.

When exam time finally rolled around, you bit down on your nail nervously waiting for the results.

Once it was your turn to get called up and collect your paper, you nearly screamed.

You got an A!

Unable to contain your excitement, you ran out the exam room, and found Xiao waiting at a bench.

He took his earphones out to address your running form, but was absolutely baffled when you jumped into his arms.

Awkwardly wrapping his around you, you squealed about how he was a genius, and because of him you would pass.

You could almost kiss him.

Actually, you did.

As soon as your lips met his, Xiao was stunned. Was he dreaming?

As soon as you pulled away, you laughed at the incredulous expression on his face. He almost looked like a broken cat, with half his face in a smile, and the other in disbelief.

Xiao had to bite the inside of his cheek to avoid grinning so hard. This was not very ‘cool lonely bad boy’ of him

He coughed into his fist, and mumbled about how that was nice.

Since then, Xiao has never had an empty seat next to him ever again.

...

By the way, your friends saw the whole thing.

They had chased after you because they thought something was wrong.

Their jaws were dislocated straight into hell when they saw that kiss.

Guess you didn’t like Itto?

Xiao x Reader - a drabble on love.

ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ, ᴡʜᴏ ɪ'ᴠᴇ ʟᴏᴠᴇᴅ ʙᴇꜰᴏʀᴇ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴡʜᴏ ɪ ᴄᴇʀᴛᴀɪɴʟʏ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ɴᴏᴡ.

➳❥ - no dialogue, just simple descriptions of a quiet, starry night spent with xiao.

The moon hangs over the night sky, and you are illuminated with the wonders of the night lights. Tonight isn’t special; it's simply like any other night, but you're here, Xiao's here, and it's peaceful. No words are exchanged between either one of you. It's a quiet night created and built to listen to the steady and rampant heartbeats of lovers. It's a silent night made for the midnight snores and late laughter of lovers who've awakened and been awake. Neither of you pays much mind, for nobody else lays on the roof of the inn.

A fair combination of yellow and white glow against your skin, and Xiao can't help but steer his eyes towards you. Love, he feels, is terrifying in the ways it can manipulate and capture his mind, seeping into each crack and crevice of his heart. The way his love for you sways and controls his lungs and how he breathes— it's abnormal. It's strange, and at first, he wanted it all out, for Xiao had wished to keep away from all that could strip him of his focused duties, but it crept in closer and took him by the hand, much like you do during those spontaneous starry days where the sun shines, yet you shone brighter in comparison.

That's you, simply. It's always you. You, the one who always catches his attention. You, the one who replaces the dull sun with a true, grounded star. You're special, you're different, and not because of the way you look. It's not just the hand that interlocks with his on evil nights full of comfort for karma; it's not the clothes you carry that sway around your hips and your arms, nor is it your silky, velvet sleeves that drag with the wind. You're simply special. You stand out to him far more than any person that any society norm could deem beautiful. He couldn't care less about how wide or thin your hips are; he doesn't even think once on what shape your face has taken. He never paid mind to the weight you carry, mental or physical. Xiao sees you for more than who you appear to be. He sees you as who you've shown him; he sees you as the one he loves, and that's all that will ever matter in his eyes.

Xiao used to dream of joining his friends. He used to dream of the delicate cottons and fabrics of the afterlife that he could feel when he sees his friends, albeit he might only see them once after death and never again— if that promised haven of peace, tranquility, and love is a promise that is honest and true. If not, that would've been fine for him, too, for he feels he wouldn't ever deserve the taste of a heaven. Xiao, simply, dreamed of dying. He wished to die a warrior, much like the rest of the yaksha. In his eyes, he had nothing to lose before. Rex Lapis is no longer the archon, and the people of Liyue don't seem to need him around anymore, so why bother?

But, he realizes that is no longer the case.

If he were to die, he would lose you. Not only that, but Xiao is bitterly familiar with the poisons of guilt, shame, and sorrow after losing someone he loves. He can't bear to imagine your tears or your sobbing if he were to give his life up for what he deemed as freedom. Besides, he is constantly reminded on quiet nights such as these that he has nearly achieved that complete freedom. Not freedom from his duties, not freedom from his karma, but freedom from loneliness. Ever since you arrived, Xiao has gained friends, he has a slight following, and he, ultimately, has you— and you are everything to him. There are rare times when he won't even think about Rex Lapis when it comes to you. Xiao has set his subconscious priorities straight, even if he hasn't realized it.

Even when years come to pass, even when decades and late centuries take over peaceful days like these, Xiao will never forget you. He will continue to cherish you long after your death, though he prays that the day will never come. Xiao, back before meeting you, would've only hung his head low for your family and friends if your death had passed and reached his ears. But now? He's afraid that he'll never be able to let you go— he may revert to consulting Hu Tao constantly so she could check and see if you'd still remain that ghostly realm of hers.

Xiao's hand twitches at the thought. He realized that he may end up mourning far more from your death than his own God's. He has never been vocal about his anxieties, but you're well aware that he'll sacrifice the whole world and even himself just to keep you alive and well. He recalls a time when you were bedridden, sickly, and in pain from a virus. You never allowed him inside your room during that, but he nearly cried himself to death, begging to the Gods and Celestia that you would come out of that room some day, alive, living, and free. During his nightly visits outside of your bedroom door, you would talk to him in spite of your coughs and sore throat. You would tell him about a particular northern star that shines into your bedroom window at the darkest midnight hour and how, when you recovered, you would love to see it closer on the roof with him.

Funnily enough, those words were spoken exactly one year ago from this day, and here you are. Northern star in view, galaxies hanging above, and you lay here on the roof with Xiao.

Tonight isn’t special; it was never supposed to be. But somehow, with you being here, Xiao being here, and with the moon illuminating the scenery around you two, it's safe to say that tonight and perhaps every night always ends up as a special occasion. He looks over at you. You're asleep, and you have the faintest smile on your lips, and it contaminates his with a smile of his own.

Maybe every night is a special occasion, long as it's spent with you.

sooooo i saw you wanted requests >:) fear no more, dear tumblr writer, i gotchu covered!

how about this... xiao x reader, angst to fluff, where xiao tries to distance himself from reader because he realized he's in love with her and doesn't want to bring calamity to her life, but she actually loves him too! try to give it a happy ending ><

I won't say I'm in love

Pairing: Xiao x fem! reader

Genre: angst with a happy ending :)

A/N: Thank you for being my first request ever I honestly thought I'd get none!

With a call of his name, the Yaksha appears before you, standing with perfect balance on the rails of Wangshu Inn. The sight of him made you giddy inside, like when you were a kid on the morning of Christmas.

"Hi, Xiao," you greet him with a bright smile, holding out your usual welcome home gift; almond tofu. "Welcome home!"

His eyes widen at your words, with the sight of you standing there as the light of the moon shined upon you. Absolutely ethereal, you were in his eyes. You had his limbs frozen in place with just a look, your smile, laugh, everything made his heart nearly jump out of his chest. His greatest weakness...

Xiao grew tense with that realization, trying desperately to ignore the worried expression taking over your cute face. There was no way he can ever say that out loud, least of all to you. Just friends, right? Xiao shakes his head, maybe even not that. Not anymore.

"I have to go,"

You frown, confused and so worried for him. "Wait, Xiao. What's wrong -?"

He was gone with the next soft breeze.

What just happened? You think to yourself, holding the plate of food close to you now. The only other thing you can think of is maybe someone called his name? Or he heard something that needed his attention? Hoping it was any of those and not something that you may have done to accidentally offend him, you enter back into the Inn, to the room you always paid for. By now it was practically your home.

You waited.

And waited.

Xiao never showed up. Or so you thought.

In the early morning of Liyue, Xiao appeared. You were asleep still, head on the pillow while hugging the extra one you always requested for. It was difficult for you to fall asleep without hugging something. The adorable sight had Xiao's lips tug upward as the thought, I wish that was me instead, filled his mind.

The sudden thought made him jerk away, turning his back towards you. Xiao berated himself for thinking that, feeling that way. He didn't deserve your affection. Didn't deserve this, him.

Deeply rooted inside of him, Xiao believed that he would bring nothing but danger and death to your life if he stayed involved with you. He was a curse. A weapon to be used. Not to love or be loved.

You shift in the sheets behind him, the sound of your sleepy voice startling him so much that he left before you can finish saying his name.

Oh, okay.

That kind of stung you. It was common knowledge that Xiao had his bad days and you understand when he needs his space to think through his thoughts. You also understand when to insert yourself so that he doesn't drown himself in those thoughts.

You hoped that you hadn't missed those signs and now it was too late to help him through it. In your sleepy state, you glance over at the nightstand nearby.

The plate of Almond Tofu still sat there, untouched.

One day passed with no contact with Xiao, and you were okay. You continued on with your daily tasks, taking in any commission Kathrine offered you. You had to pay for your stay at the Inn somehow.

Two, or three days pass and that ball of worry and anxiety grew until there was an uncomfortable pressure in your chest that hasn't been there in a while, since you meet Xiao, actually. He was your comfort, and made you feel safe and cared full when you were with him.

I guess he didn't feel that way about me.

Xiao avoided Zhongli's stare. He'd just been informed about the nonstop work you have been doing instead of resting. You used to call his name out every night around dinnertime, in hopes that he would show up. He did, just not where you can see him. It hurt to see your dejected face each time as you walked tiredly into your room, but not before leaving the plate out on the balcony for him.

"You can't avoid her forever," started Zhongli, blowing softly on his tea before taking a sip. "You care for her as much as she does you. If this continues, she will end up exhausting herself waiting for you."

Xiao turned his head. "She's human. They move on eventually,"

"Not all of them." Zhongli mused, making the Adeptus side glance at him. "It is possible to die of a broken heart."

The thought of you dying, because of him even after he did his best to keep away and avoid that... made him feel, panicked. With the image of you being laid to rest by Zhongli and that one funeral girl burned into his mind made Xiao stand up, knocking the chair to the floor.

There was an expression on his face that Zhongli hasn't seen on Xiao's face since he saved him; desperation. Yet, when Xiao vanished, he couldn't stop the small smirk on his face at his handiwork.

Xiao deserved you.

You weren't standing out on the balcony this time. Instead, you lay in your room, the space dark save for the desk lamp next to the bed. He can see your form under the covers with soft-sounding cries reaching his ears.

He did this.

He hurt you.

Xiao almost left again, but his body moved forward until he was climbing onto the bed, sitting on his knees as his head peaked out from the cover. Your eyes widen at the sight of him, with the sudden touch of his gloved hands cradling your face in them.

"Let me speak," he started, voice strong with emotion. "I can't handle the thought of you getting hurt. I only cause death, Y/N, and staying away from you is the safest option. Or so I thought."

"I feel the safety with you, Xiao. Right by your side is where I belong." You whisper, placing your hands on his to keep him there.

There was a vulnerability in his eyes you have never seen before and it made your heart soar with the thought that he trusted you enough to show it.

His voice breaks. "I don't deserve you, but you, you Y/N, deserve the world."

You sit up properly, wrapping your arms around him tightly. Wanting him to know that you were right there and not planning on going anywhere. His hands splayed out on your back, holding you to his chest, afraid to let you go.

"I love you, Xiao. I understand that you get scared too -" he didn't deny it, though you knew on a normal day he would have. " -but you don't have to worry about hurting me. I know you'll be there whenever I call."

He nodded his head, hiding it in your shoulder.

You kiss the top of his head. "And I don't need the world, I don't need anything, just you."

Hearing your words being said so full of love and devotion caused Xiao to lift his head up enough to look at you. The space between your faces is nonexistent when he kissed you. A kiss that had tears burning behind your eyelids, trying to fall with the love he made you feel.

I love you, his kisses said, finally able to accept it.
