ii. this is my first time writing for a Genshin character, so I apologize if this is cringe. ^^;
iii. not proofread, unedited version.
iv. ooc! xiao. I wrote this around 2021, so yeah, you're going to encounter a lot of cringe moments.
Tumblr media
December has come in Teyvat, and everyone, especially the children, is looking forward to playing in the snow and spending time with their parents and friends.
Despite being an adult, you were nevertheless eager to feel the heavy, chilly snow. It had been a long time since your naked hands had touched snow. It's been years, and now you're returning to Mondstadt, your hometown.
You ran into a particular adeptus while staying at the Wangshu Inn. He was as frigid as ice, and his penetrating look was quite intimidating, but you're an outgoing person, so that was not an obstacle for you to converse with the adeptus.
Unfortunately, those days will come to an end, and you have no choice but to continue your voyage. You've been in the inn for three days, waiting for the many hillichurl camps strewn around to be destroyed, along with the bothersome varied types of hillichurls.
If a regular person with a vision clears it, it will take a week to complete. But it was a piece of cake for the anemo adeptus. He cleared it quickly, clearing the way that leads to the city of freedom."Thank you, Xiao!" You thanked the cold-hearted and bowed, indicating your appreciation for clearing the encampments.
He just stayed quiet. You simply grinned, unconcerned. You tell the adeptus farewell, "Goodbye, Xiao. Let's meet here again when Christmas has passed." After Christmas has over, you weren't certain if he would truly arrive here at the inn.
"I'm not going to show up, so you're just going to waste your time," he said. You didn't say anything, but you know he's not being truthful. How insincere!
"Alright, alright. I get that. Goodbye!" You grasped the large bag that had your clothing and other necessities. You exited the inn and made your way to the road that goes to Mondstadt.
You are not aware that someone is peeking at you. On the inn's balcony, Xiao was observing you see whether you were in jeopardy. After all, you're very foolish, regardless he enjoys your ignorance. And you are the only clueless idiot he accepts. People who are stupid can burn themselves.
He won't say it to you or anyone else, but your obnoxious voice and boisterous spirit will live on in his thoughts and heart. He'll miss your brief encounters about your prior experiences. Perhaps being with you isn't that unpleasant after all. Even though you only left a minute ago, he already misses you and craves your attention.
After a few hours of wandering, you've arrived at Mondstadt, the city of freedom. The chilling breeze and atmosphere made your entire body tremble. You draped your ordinary raven shawl over your neck and fastened it.
You started strolling towards the gates of Mondstadt and noticed two familiar soldiers. Swan and Lawrence are generally the ones protecting the Mondstadt entrance.
You got a glimpse of the city's interior. Various Christmas decorations are hanging everywhere, and beautiful small Christmas-related stickers have been pasted on some of the drab walls to make them more colorful and vibrant.
"Hey, who-? Oh! Miss Y/N, welcome back to Mondstadt!" said the two guards simultaneously. Your face was bright with a smile.
"Thank you, Swan and Lawrence, and Merry Christmas to both of you," you added, still smiling.
"Merry Christmas to you as well, Miss Y/N!" they exclaimed in unison, bowing to you. You said your goodbyes since you still needed to see your brother.
Your homecoming enlightened several people on the streets. You were also glad to see how cheerful everyone was. When you lifted your head, you noticed the big and lofty statue of the anemo archon. Some people surrounded a braided bard who was softly and delicately skimming a lyre.
The lyre's captivating and soothing sound melts your heart. It reminds you of your mother's lullaby from when she was still alive. You didn't know the bard's performance had already concluded since your mind was preoccupied with the wonderful reminiscence of your parents and sibling.
"Hm? Y/N!" The bard's voice has disrupted your thoughts. You noticed him approaching your form as you looked in his direction.
"It's good to see you again, Venti," you remarked, pleased to see one of your dear acquaintances alive and well.
"I'm very glad to see you again! How's your travel? Is Liyue better than Mondstadt? I doubt it!" Venti swamped you with questions, causing you to strain to speak and get confused.
"Hey, bard! You're making the girl uncomfortable," said another familiar voice. You noticed the only gliding champion approaching you.
"Y/N! Thank the Archons for your safe return! How's your travel?" she inquired, sighing relievedly.
"Hey, I asked first!" Now that these two individuals are squabbling, you covertly move away cautiously, trying not to make any noise.
You exhale a breath of relief as you exit the area where the anemo statue is located. "I should definitely go to Angel's Share now," you said quietly as you made your way to the bar you hadn't visited in a long time.
The tavern's doorbell rang, drawing the bartender's attention. But before he could speak his typical phrase every time someone came into his bar, he noticed a strand of [H/C] hair, which made his heart skip a beat.
"Big bro, I'm home!" yelled a joyful voice as you gently entered the bar. Diluc's eyes widened when he saw you.
"You never told me you'd come back today," Diluc grumbled as the folks inside the tavern stared at you two.
You pouted, disappointed with his simple and uninteresting reply, but you didn't protest since you know Diluc has a hard time expressing his feelings following the death of your loving father.
You immediately approached the bartender and hugged him. He was hesitant to return the embrace, but he did it nevertheless. "Aw, I miss you, big bro! It has to be a surprise, after all!" you said as you hugged him.
The doorbell rang, signaling that it had opened and interrupted you two. "Hello, Master Diluc!" said a high-pitched voice.
You ran into two familiar acquaintances. Your eyes twinkled, and seeing them brings you joy. "Paimon and Traveler!" you called out to the two females, asking how they were. They were also taken aback by your unexpected arrival in Mondstadt.
"How about we throw you a celebration now that you're back?" Paimon offered. That proposal piqued your attention, and you quickly agreed.
Paimon has invited practically everyone to the Angel's Tavern, and Diluc is not pleased. "Cheer up, bro. It'll be enjoyable, I swear," you said. Even if he still doesn't like the concept, he merely sighed and nodded.
You noticed your friends entering the tavern one by one. "Nice to see you again, Y/N," your stepbrother, Kaeya, remarked as he hugged you. He is the only one you apprised about your impending arrival.
Kaeya smiled at Diluc, who reacted with a deadpan expression. Even though you know it's impossible for them to like each other after that incident, you still hope they'll get along one day.
"Cheers for Y/N's homecoming!" cheered the bard, and they all lifted their glasses.
"Cheers!" they all said simultaneously.
You started sipping the apple juice Diluc had given you. He refuses to offer you alcohol since something horrible happened when you were drunk one time.
You catch up with some of your acquaintances who you have missed during your brief stay in Mondstadt. You also informed them about your prior travels and experiences in other nations. Even still, you never mentioned the anemo guy to your beloved brother.
You celebrated Christmas with Diluc and intended to invite Kaeya, but he declined for some reason. Because of Diluc, most likely.
However, everything has come to an end. Christmas has come and gone, and the New Year is quickly coming. You promised Xiao that you'd spend New Year's Eve with him, and you don't want to break that promise even if you're not sure if he'll show up.
"Are you going already?" Even if you don't want to, a promise is a promise.
You nodded as you packed your essentials. "Why?" Diluc questioned, causing you to pause. You turned to face him, and for some reason, you noticed a tint of melancholy in his crimson eyes.
"I think I should tell you about this man..." His brow furrowed when you mentioned a guy. Oh, your overprotective brother has arrived.
You began telling him about Xiao, your feelings for him, and the promise. Diluc didn't seem thrilled, but he informed you that he would support you no matter how idiotic your decision was.
"Goodbye, Y/N, and remember to come back on your birthday," your brother added. You smiled, waved your hand, and began walking, wearing your coat closely to shield yourself from the cold.
Diluc only sighed, looking at your vanishing form. He whispered, "May the archons guide her."
When Diluc notified your close friends that you had already departed, they were distraught by the news.
You've been walking for over two hours and haven't run out of vitality, and you honestly don't know why. Maybe it's because you're meeting up with one of the greatest people you've ever met? You strolled while humming your favorite tune. Finally, you noticed the familiar image from a distance. The Wangshu Inn.
"Xiao, I'm coming," you mumbled to yourself, your cheeks flushed from the cold.
It's a good thing there aren't many hillichurl camps around, otherwise, you'll be screwed. Your brother never let you practice battling, no matter how much you wanted to. You wanted to join the Knights of Favonius when you were younger, but your ambitions were dashed after your father died, and you don't possess a vision as your siblings do, so training will be more difficult.
He didn't let you near any knights after that, but it didn't work because some of the Knight of Favonius most crucial members are your buddies.
After a few minutes of walking, you saw the sun was setting. It had already been 5 p.m. Verr, the proprietor, was the first to notice your existence.
"Ah, Miss Y/N, it's good to see you again," she added, smiling. You returned the grin and booked a room. You inquired about Xiao's whereabouts, but she answered that she had no idea.
You rested in your room for a few hours, but your hunger interfered. You selected almond tofu since it is Xiao's favorite. It's been three hours and you have yet to see his shadows. You were overwhelmed with worry. You're concerned for his sake and the pledge to which only you agreed.
Even though it's 11 p.m., you still haven't seen him. What if something were to happen to him during his shift? No, wait. That would never happen, after all, he is an adeptus. But still?
You're lying on the roof, gazing at the magnificent glittering stars. You bent your head and noticed workers preparing pyrotechnics and several youngsters who were excited to see them. Some were also eating while waiting for it to happen.
You sighed, your heart tinted with grief. The New Year is approaching, and you can't believe you'll be spending it entirely alone. What a moron you are. You pondered what your brother would think if he found out you spent it alone. He'd undoubtedly be enraged.
"Well, I didn't expect you to come here despite the fact that I refused your offer," a familiar voice said. Xiao!
When you turned around, you noticed him detaching his mask. You cracked a grin. "I'm pleased you came anyhow," you said.
He made a tongue-clicking motion. He excused himself, saying, "I simply don't want to hear from Verr that you sobbed all night because I didn't show up there."
His remarks had offended you. "Hey! I wouldn't cry if you didn't show here!" You defended yourself this time, incensed at his statements.
"Whatever. Let's just enjoy this show," he remarked as he sat alongside you, breathing in Liyue's fresh air.
"Xiao," you called him. He looked at you with arched brows, perplexed as to why you had called him.
"Thank you for being here," you remarked, smiling at the anemo guy. After hearing it, Xiao's cheeks flushed.
"Tsk, whatever," he answered, trying to disguise his flushed cheeks, which, by the way, did not work.
The innkeepers started shooting fireworks into the air. "It's starting!" you screamed as you rose up and extended your hand to him. He reluctantly accepted. For whatever reason, neither of you broke your entwined hands.
While tons of pyrotechnics were being thrown into the air, your eyes dazzled. Seeing you, Xiao only smiled, unconcerned about the fireworks.
"Happy New Year, Xiao!" You exclaimed, while both of your hands are still intertwined with another, enjoying the warm feeling of each other.
It was undoubtedly the best night for the adeptus as he enjoyed seeing your bright smile, radiating with positive energy. He won't admit it, but deep down, he knows that he has already fallen for you.

The ending was rushed since I was confused on what would be the ending of this chapter cause I suck at ending 💀

Merry Christmas everyone! Here's my last jojo piece of 2021! A rather personal piece with the photos. They feature my late great Grandfather, my late Grandmother. And where not easily seen, a bit of a statue of David that once belonged to my late Grandfather. I’m glad I was able to include them in this piece. Especially as my fathers side of the family originates from Naples, the same place as Tonio!  I really enjoyed working on this piece, trying to capture a vibe like it was tricky, but I’m happy with how it turned out. Happy holidays everyone! And a happy new year! Divertiti! Please reblog if you can!

Word Count: 1.7K
Summary: Returning home for the holidays always leads you to him and the secret you’ve kept, and regretted, for far too long.
Listening: tis the damn season, Taylor Swift
Master List: Merry & Bright 2021
Tag List 
Tag List: @knjkitten​ @mochikeyds​
        Shuffling through the door of the bar in town, you take off your snow sprinkled coat and reluctantly take your beanie off your head. Your boots, scuffing along the plastic mats, pool in the water you’re sure someone’s supposed to have mopped up. It’s a safety hazard and a nuisance to you and whomever else walks in after you.
        “Y/N! Over here!” Beatrix calls from a booth dead center on the wall of overstuffed, torn leather seats. The bar is crowded, and you recognize more than your fair share of faces. People you haven’t seen since middle school, some since high school, others who stabbed you in the back or made your life hell. The first wave home for the holidays, or those who never left.
       “Y/N here!” Davis cheers, raising his half empty pint in your direction.
       “Drunk already?” You ask. He’s the first one out of the booth to hug you, followed by Beatrix, and then Jimin and Yoongi.
       “Nearly, can I get you something? A cider?” Yoongi offers.
       “I’d love that, thanks Yoongs.”
       Yoongi makes his way to the bar, and you’re ushered into his former spot next to Jimin. Jimin doesn’t hesitate to wrap his arm around your shoulders, pulling you in.
       “How was your flight?” He asks.
       “Really fucking long. I forgot how much I hate flying from San Francisco back here.”
       “Which is why you never come visit?” Davis asks.
       “Which is why I only come back in the summer and at Christmas. But this fucking pandemic has really put a damper on that,” You shrug. “I’m glad they check everyone’s vaccination status before coming in.”
       “Oh, they’re doing it everywhere in town, except the grocery store,” Beatrix informs you. “I knew we were liberal, but this is shocking.”
       “When did you all get in?” You ask.
       “Jiminie and I came in yesterday,” Yoongi answers. He sets your cider down before sitting next to you.
       “I only live an hour away, so I drove in this afternoon,” Beatrix smiles. You haven’t seen her in… nearly two years? But your Facetime calls remain a weekly staple in your lives.
       “Did you bring Buster?” Yoongi asks.
       “I did, Buster Baxter is sleeping in front of the fire at my parents,” Beatrix answers. Her cheeks are tinted rosy- either from the heat or the alcohol or the way Jimin is staring at her. Their relationship, a secret to everyone but you, is getting harder and harder to hide.
       Somehow, in the hubbub of catching up an hour passes, then two, and by the time Davis finally gets around to telling you what he decided he’d confide in the first five minutes of your arrival, he’s perhaps too late.
       “Did you hear?” Davis asks. His open-ended question is directed at you, though you’re not quite sure why.
       “Me?” You ask.
       “Yeah, did you hear?”
       “Hear what you hear?” You laugh, your obvious pun making you chuckle.
       “Hoseok’s in town,” Yoongi stops the back and forth quickly. “He’s in town until Christmas.”
       The color drains from your face. “What?”
       “He came in early to help with the rush at his parent’s shop and work remotely.”
       “Why are you telling me this?” You ask.
       “Well he just walked in, so,” Beatrix points towards the door, and you turn, without thinking, to stare at him. Jet black hair slicked back to reveal just enough of his forehead, chestnut overcoat giving way to skintight black moto jeans and what you assume is a black crewneck cashmere sweater. He’s got a pendant necklace on, and a bracelet or two. You can take the man out of Soho, but you can’t take Soho out of the man.
       “Why is he here?” You whisper.
       “Look around,” Yoongi says. “Everyone’s here tonight. It’s one of those weird waves of all the people who came home early. Give it a few weeks and you won’t be able to step foot in here it’ll be so busy.”
       You avert your gaze as Hoseok heads straight towards your group, smiling brightly at his former group of friends.
       “Hey!” Hoseok says, voice loud and bubbly.
       “Seokie!” Davis calls – a bit of an overcorrection if he’d asked you.
       The cursory hellos are said, and as he sits down, you stare at Yoongi, eyes pleading.
       “I’m gonna go,” You say, leg nudging Yoongi’s. He takes the hint and lets you out.
       “Don’t go on my account,” Hoseok requests, but he sees it in your eyes.
       You roll your eyes, slipping your coat back on. “I’ll see all of you later.”
       Turning quickly on your heels, you make it out of the bar before a hand lands on your shoulder.
       “Y/N, wait,” Hoseok says.
       “What Hoseok?” You turn around, shaking his hand off your shoulder.
       “I – don’t go.”
       “Why not?”
       “Because I wanna talk to you.”
       “Why?”
       “Why?”
       “Yeah Hoseok, why?”
       “I miss you.”
       “Not this again.”
       “It’s not again!”
       “It is though! You didn’t ask me to wait!” You yell, your old argument picking up where it’s always ended.
       “You didn’t ask me to stay!” He argues back.
       “I don’t want to fight with you or spend time with this ache in my chest that happens whenever I pass you. We live on opposite sides of the country, but if you wanted to fucking know what was going on with me, you could’ve fucking asked! And what’s more, if you wanted to be fucking normal around our friends you wouldn’t have dated me in secret for years.”
       He shakes his head, of course you don’t know. Of course, you aren’t paying any attention to him and his life’s trajectory. “We don’t live on opposite sides of the country!”
       “Last I checked, we did.”
       “I moved to Oakland six months ago,” His eyes are so sad – hadn’t you loved him once?
       “So, I can run from you, but only so far?”
       “I –
       “No, what do you want from me? What do you want from this? To call me babe for the weekend? To pretend you didn’t shatter my heart? That I wasn’t your secret for years?”
       “I just, I want you again.”
       “You watched me leave.”
       “And we called it even. We both agreed to keep our relationship a secret. Fuck, that was over a decade ago! But none of this has been even, it isn’t, it’s not,” He shakes his head. “It fucking haunts me like bad perfume.”
       “I’m sorry the memory of our time together has tainted your existence.”
       “Y/N,” He groans.
       “I’m going home.”
       “Home?”
       You nod. “I’m staying at my parent’s house.”
       “Let me drive you.”
       “I’ll walk –
       “Please, it’s cold and dark. Let me take you home.”
       Disgruntled and frustrated, you oblige. He’s borrowed his dad’s old Ford Explorer, permanently stuck in 2010, it’s big and loud and ruining the planet. It’s an argument you’ve had for years, and one you don’t really want to repeat now.
       Hoseok, staring at you periodically, turns down a road you haven’t taken in years. A short cut, which really is the same distance and takes the same time as going the normal route, you used to take it in high school. It was really just an excuse for you to stop and make out in the back seat.
       You stare ahead, trying not to let your mind rush through all the moments in time you spent on this stretch of cement.
       “Remember winter of senior year, after the recital?” Hoseok’s hand rests on the center console, itching to place it high on your thigh.
       “What about it?” You snap.
       “I told you I loved you, right about, here,” He pulls over and puts the car in park, before getting out and sitting in the back seat.
       “Hoseok,” You warn, knowing exactly what he’s hinting at.
       “Please, just, sit by me, hold my hand, talk to me,” He pleads.  
       You oblige, shuffling out the door and sitting next to him. He takes your hand in his, thumb rubbing gentle circles.
       “You know, the road not taken doesn’t look better, you just feel guilty,” You finally stare into his eyes, which have been attempting to bore holes in you the entire time.
       “I’ve always felt guilty. We shouldn’t have kept it a secret, even if it would’ve hurt our friends… we hurt them anyway.”
       “I’m sorry,” You concede.
       It doesn’t take much, the intensity of his gaze, the slight lean of his shoulders towards you, his free hand moving up and down your thigh. It doesn’t take much before you’re leaning in, lips meeting, hands moving to take off coats and palming him over his jeans. His slip under your sweater to toy with your breasts, tweaking your nipples and eliciting moans of satisfaction from you.
       It isn’t long before you’re both whining, desperately wanting more. Hoseok pulls his lips from your neck to raise his hips just enough to wiggle out of his jeans and boxers. Finally relieving his throbbing cock from the tight constraints, he hisses as the frigid air hits him. You aggressively toss your boots in the front seat and pull your jeans all the way off your body. he watches you as you become bare, staring at your womanhood with a hunger he hasn’t felt since the last time you hooked up three Christmases ago. He strokes himself a few times while he waits for you to disrobe. Tossing a leg over his waist, you straddle him tightly.
       “What?” He asks, his hands moving up and down the expanse of your bare thighs.
       “Tis the damn season,” You answer, your lips hungrily attaching to his. His hands, strong and nimble, guide your hips over his cock, and you take the hint to lower your hips onto him. Moaning into his mouth, your breath hitches at how familiar it all is. His hips meeting your pace, lips searing yours, the darkness of the night engulfing his car as you fog up the windows.
       Every Christmas leads to him and this town, and that road not traveled always looks so much better than the one you’re both on, where you ignore each other, hate each other, never resolve the conflicts of decades passed… but somehow without fail, end up in this car, your hips rocking into his, burning the sensation of him under you into your mind, downloading sound files of his moans into your hard drive, all of it bad perfume lingering in both your minds for the next twelve months.

[ 11 : 55 p.m. ] | l.jn + n.jm
Tumblr media
"i cannot belive you won another goddamn round!"
jeno smiled as jaemin huffed, playfully punching his roommate in the shoulder.
"you just aren't competitive enough, jaem," jeno replied with a smile, his eyes forming their signature crescents as the other pouted in return, making jeno smile wider.
"maybe i'm just not good at board games - that has to be it!"
"no, you lose in pubg too…face it jaem, you aren't competitive at all."
jaemin whined, but conceded defeat by shifting closer to his roomate on the sofa, and jeno places an arm around his shoulders without even thinking.
you're probably wondering: what on earth are 2 gen-z college students doing on christmas eve playing board games?
well, here's your answer: coronavirus prevented them from going home, and they got stormed in so the wifi is down.
it's an odd set of circumstances to have, let alone on christmas eve - but to jeno and jaemin, it was almost comforting.
having grown up together, they were glad they had each other though they were far from home.
"it's the most wonderful time of the year~"
"where's that coming from?" jeno turned to his roommate, who at the moment was snuggled into him, eyes closed as though he was sleeping.
"meh, it's just my christmas alarm - WAIT IT'S PAST TWELVE?" jaemin mumured sleepily before yelling and jumping off the couch and running around their apartment as if he was high on sugar.
jeno, on the other hand, is baffled by the turn of events - though he isn't surprised by the sudden spike in the other's energy levels since it happened too often.
"IT'S CHRISTMAS IT'S CHRISTMAS IT'S CHRISTMAS IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!"
the crescents returned to jeno's face after hearing the words, finally understanding what on earth his eccentric roommate was going off about.
standing up from the sofa, he wrapped his arms around his hyper roommate, poking him in the ribs to make him calm down, chuckling at the sound of jaemin's 'ooh' before he registered what was happening.
now calm in his best friend's arms, the realisation of it's christmas occurs to him once again, and he smiles.
it's christmas indeed.
"merry christmas, jen."
"merry christmas, jaem."
