the second it happens, he can feel this deep, carnal regret erupt from within him. he shouldnโ€™t have allowed you to come with. you should have stayed at wangshu inn and awaited his return. now a shower of rocks cascades upon the two of you and he stumbles for a moment to reach out for you. โ€œxiao, wait!โ€
hearing his name, heโ€™s stunned when your hand collides with his chest and he gets pushed back. the pit of his stomach dropping as youโ€™re flung backwards and thrown into the mountainside. he can barely call out your name before the tides of his anger erupt to eliminate his enemy.
xiao is at your side in an instant and the second you know it, youโ€™ve returned to the inn. heโ€™s trying to stay calm and assess your injuries. all the while silent and eerily passive. โ€œxiao, are you hurt?โ€ and thatโ€™s when he finds himself staring at you. his eyes gloss over for a moment and he canโ€™t seem to stop shaking.
โ€œyouโ€™re hurt. why are you asking me such a thing? i should have protected you instead,โ€ he whispers into your palm when you clasp his cheek. your body tenses but you know the injuries will heal. โ€œiโ€™ll always protect you though. so donโ€™t worry, iโ€™m right here.โ€

blade in hand, heโ€™s always relied on you to watch his back. however, your travels to mondstadt have taken quite the turn. blocked by the road, the two of you make quick work of the last treasure hoarders. โ€œi believe that takes care of all of them,โ€ he says, briefly looking over you for any blemishes.
your mouth opens to answer but heโ€™s unsure whether or not you truly spoke as the next thing he knows heโ€™s tumbling to the dirt; dust flies up into the air and taints the surroundings a misty brown. he can barely see but through the dust he can make out your figure hovering over him.
โ€œkazuhaโ€ฆ?โ€ you gasp, stumbling back and into his arms as heโ€™s just barely gotten up. the last wounded treasure hoarder stands above you, crossbow empty and arrow lodged in your thigh. kazuhaโ€™s quick to avenge you. but his eyes widen in a mute horror as he drags you away from the danger.
blood stains his fingers as he works diligently to patch you back up safely. โ€œplease donโ€™t ever do that again, my love. i couldnโ€™t bare to watch you hurt yourself for me,โ€ he says, hands trembling as he bandages your shoulder. โ€œiโ€™m fine now thanks to you though. i would have done it again if needed.โ€ kazuha sighs, leaning his head against yours in half-relief and half-worry.

you tagging along during a bit of sleuthing never hurt. heizou enjoyed the company and your presence helped him think. the evening waned on with little hindrances. just a few flirtations from both parties until the time to grow serious came. investigating this particular case never seemed dangerous until things quickly fled in the wrong direction.
heizouโ€™s desperate to get you out of here. the wandering samurai lunges forward, katana brandished and aiming in your direction. heโ€™s quick to get you out of harmโ€™s way even if you have your own weapon in hand. โ€œyou have to get out of here!โ€
โ€œiโ€™m not leaving you here!โ€ heizou grits his teeth at your words but nothing else can be said before his name flies out of your mouth and he finds himself stumbling to the ground, gripping onto the dirt to stabilize himself. the sword rips into your shoulder blade and heizouโ€™s breath leaves him.
he can barely remember what happens after that, the only thing on his mind is getting you out of there. youโ€™re in his arms in a second and he can feel your blood staining his clothing. โ€œshush, itโ€™s fine. theyโ€™re gone now. justโ€ฆ just hold on iโ€™m right here.โ€ he can feel the iron sting of blood in his mouth as he bites the inside of his mouth, praying that youโ€™ll be alright.

heโ€™s honestly not used to someone being by his side during missions. especially not you of all people. he feels a little more self-aware of his actions and his tone. still, he needs to get the job done and your assistance is certainly better than him doing it entirely alone.
but he curses under his breath when things go wrong. the plans are burning faster than he can even keep up with and now youโ€™re stuck under this crumbling infrastructure of deluded lies with him. scaramouche isnโ€™t even sure when or how you appeared next to him but when the wet splatter of blood hits his cheek his eyes widen.
your name tumbles from his lips faster than he can even react to your violent shove. as you crumple to the ground, heโ€™s wrapping you up in his arms. you can see the fragility in his eyes as he stares down at you. blood pooling in a crimson puddle around you as your eyes flicker shut.
light seeps in eventually and you find yourself staring at the ceiling of an unknown medical ward. your body aches with a pain slotted within your chest and examining your surroundings youโ€™re surprised to see scaramouche worriedly pacing the room. he stops when he sees youโ€™re awake.
โ€œyou idiot! what the hell were you thinking taking the hit like that! do you even understandโ€”โ€œ
โ€œare you alright?โ€ he stops, staring at you incredulously but at the same time relief washes over his body in a tidal wave.
โ€œiโ€™mโ€ฆ fine,โ€ he mumbles, going to your side in an instant. he takes your hand in his, quietly accepting your decision.
