MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GETTING YOU UNDER THE MISTLETOE FT. XIAO contents // pining, friends to lovers, siblings! hutao & qiqi, requited love notes // this is mainly xiao's pov and he thinks you don't like him back. also, if it's not implied enough, you're aware that xiao likes you but you want him to make the first move. i kind of gave up at the end when i was building this up. baba - dad, gege - older brother & jiejie - older sister masterlist

it was nearly time for the christmas party xiao's family is throwing and of course, his best friend who he is not at all in love with, name is invited. name always have been coming to his family's celebrations but why does it feel different now?

maybe because his sisters are trying to insist him to finally confess the feelings, he has had harboring for 17 years. "xiao, you can't keep stumbling around and acting stupid around them because you like them. it's kind of hard to watch, right, qiqi?" hu tao said, turning to the 10 years old on the couch. she was about to answer until,

xiao rolled his eyes, crossing his arms, "don't answer that, qiqi."

qiqi closed her mouth as hu tao kept saying, "qiqi, you know i'm right. isn't it hard to see xiao kicking his legs and giggling after name leaves."

xiao's neutral bitch face morphed in fear, wallowing in self conciousness. is it really that bad?

the little lavender haired girl paused to think about it and sadly, to xiao's demise, "hmm... jiejie, i do think it's weird to see gege with cooties. i think uncle baizhu has medicine for it."

oh god, it really is that bad.

letting whatever qiqi said sink into xiao's shoulders, hu tao walked away to the closet, pulling out a white board stand. it squeaked, hu tao said, "exactly, which is why i made a plan." on the whiteboard, it said in bolded letters, "mission impossible: xianame christmas edition".

if you looked closely, you could see the faint words of previous "mission impossible"'s that xiao rejected and hu tao had to wipe off. xiao was nearly go along with the plan but skeptical of hu tao because usually, she's a trickster, there's always something up her sleeve.

"another plan?" xiao replied, furrowing a brow. hu tao skipped around, chirping,

"yep! this time it would work, i swear." hu tao's hand resting on the board's shelf.

"you swear? you said this last time on halloween last year and scared name nearly to death."

"i didn't scare them to death..." hu tao trailed off. "they only fainted."

"isn't it the same?" xiao asked. hu tao could tell that he was growing even more skeptical of the plan. as his sister, she knew that she needed to swerve away from that and push him into confessing. it's really embarrassing to see him try to make a move only to get rejected or mid-way change the plan.

"no! anyway, my new and foolproof plan is that since it's christmas," hu tao flipped the board with her other hand. "we can use the mistletoe as our advantage and use it for a romantic moment where you confess your feelings to name. i even asked dad about this and he agreed to it."

mistletoe? isn't that kissing?

"really, you got dad to agree to this."

"yes, and sure you might catch cooties." behind them, qiqi winced out of ickiness. "but better than nothing right?"

xiao stood there for a moment, rethinking about this. "are you sure it would happen perfectly? we don't even know if name likes me back."

"ummm, maybe the christmas spirit would enchant them." hu tao shrugged as xiao's eyes narrowed.

"i don't want a spirit to enchant them. that's not ethinical."

"xiao, don't shame on the spirits. they're very kind, y'know. anyway, the offer still stands but for a priceeeeee." hu tao replied, smiling. smiling like the devil, xiao knew something was up.

"what is it?"

"invite your second bestest friend ever over." hu tao chirped, hands together in a ball across her chest. she patted her eyes, coming closer to xiao, as xiao extended his hand out, creating a distance between himself and his sister.

"who?"

"yanfei!"

xiao tilted his head, hands still crossed. "yanfei? im not friends with yanfei."

"but if you want this plan to really work..." hu tao trailed off, hoping the bait she laid would catch her older brother. until qiqi said, "gege, i think jiejie has caught cooties too."

hu tao nervously laughed, "qiqi, i don't think-"

"ok, ill invite yanfei to the party but if this little christmas plan doesn't work, you're not allowed to make any more, got it?"

"oh my god, thank you sooo much, gege!! you're the bestest older brother anyone could ever have."

---

it was almost time for the party, the house was decked out with decorations. although the usual red and green theme is what christmas is, xiao's family preferred the gold and red theme. in the kitchen, gingerbread houses were prepped to be put together. as dad helped hu tao place mistletoes around the house, giggling each time. "dad, isn't this bow kind of off centered?"

"hm, i do think it is off centered. do you want me to fix it?" he asked, holding onto the ladder. hu tao replied with a no.

if you looked around you would see the each archway of a room would have a mistletoe, although, none of them are upstairs in their rooms. qiqi asked if she wouldn't be kissed because she didn't want to go to uncle baizhu's home for the vaccine for cooties. xiao made a mental note to tell baizhu to stop telling her that cooties exist when in reality, they are not.

xiao was pacing around the living room again, qiqi was following him like a little duckling. "gege, are you worried about the plan? i think i have vaccines for the cooties. i think though."

"no, it's fine, qiqi." he picked her up, holding her. "do you think it would go wrong?"

qiqi huffed, "no. i see name and they like you. i think i saw them-"

xiao tilted his head, "saw them what?"

"ah, i forgot."

xiao wilted a little.

---

as the house is fully decorated and hu tao busted her ass off to make it as romantic and christmasy as possible. the door rang, alerting everyone in the family to turn around. is it who xiao thinks it would be? name isn't late but they're not always super early. just before xiao reached for the door, hu tao squealed in delight, racing towards the door.

"hii name!!! and yanfei??? woah, did xiao invite you?" hu tao said, acting all coy as if she didn't try to puppeteer the whole situation. xiao noticed that yanfei's face was flustered. as he thought, huh, it is requited.

"ah, yes, i think so. i mean! yes, he did." yanfei yelped, clearly nervous but hu tao most likely saw her as perfect. xiao averted his eyes to you and god, he thinks you just killed him. from your sparking eyes to your bright smile, your little wave and he can't compute.

xiao.chr ran into an unexpected error 404

⋆｡˚❆˚ ｡⋆

you walked towards xiao, confused as to why he's just dazing off into nothingness. hu tao's conversation with yanfei blurring to the sound of christmas music. you poked his cheek, "xiaoo...?" seeing him go from reality from dreamland, which is strange, it's more like the opposite for the two of you. "are you there?"

"ah!" xiao yelped, blinking. huh, you never noticed how long his lashes were. "sorry, i was thinking about something."

"i could tell. what were you thinking about so hard?"

"gege has cooo-" xiao covered qiqi's mouth, "i was thinking of my grades after finals." as qiqi kept trying to talk, he made qiqi walk to hu tao and yanfei. "qiqi has a weird phase of saying cooties. sorry about that."

"no, it's kind of endearing." you replied, walking into the kitchen. xiao saw the little mistletoe above the kitchen's archway, afraid of kissing you in the moment, he redirected you to his room. "my dad's preparing something to snack on and he doesn't like being disturbed. um, lets go to my room instead."

"huh? but your dad loves when people watch him cook so he's not lonely in there." oblivious to the fact that the mistletoes were hung everywhere, xiao knew that hu tao had forgotten his own room. "he changed his rules."

you quirked a brow, "don't lie?"

"i promise i'm not lying." xiao said, trying to make himself sound not lying at all. until qiqi's voice replied, "gege, why are you a liar? i can see from jiejie's room that your pants are on fire. baba loves when people watch him cook."

"see, xiao, i can see what you're trying to pull here." you said. ypu're getting too close. very much to xiao's liking but to make a move? nah, he's good. seeing and loving you from a distance is good for him too.

"what are you talking about?" xiao said, pretending to be oblivious to what you're saying. you sighed and pulled him closer to you. he could feel the warmth from your face. he knows he's flustered by now. "you know what you're doing."

what?? i dont understand.

"what??"

"aw man, i thought this would bait you into telling me." xiao laughed mostly out of fear and anxiety. "you're just as mischievous as hu tao."

why did he compare you to his sister. it's over.

"ha! if i really was, you would've died by now."

he exhaled, "you're right."

⋆｡˚❆˚ ｡⋆

xiao was too caught up in the conversation he's having with you, he didn't know that he was right under a trap, the infamous mistletoe. you began to whisper, "look up."

when he did, his face paled as if he didn't agree with hu tao's plan to begin with. but unbeknownst to xiao, you set up this plan with hu tao. you always had even though you had every other chance to make a move on him, he always took it as platonic.

"oh." you pulled him closer,

"ready?" even though he was about to answer, you interrupted him with a kiss. wow you could've saved yourself 17 years of this but you liked to play the long game. xiao just stood there for a moment just before he returned the kiss.

the kiss moment was broken up by a loud flash sound and qiqi crying about how you two would catch cooties. "we need this for memories, can you kiss again for the family album?" hu tao asked as xiao pulled away from your embrace to yell at her. you laughed, winking at hu tao, pulling her brother away from her.

bonus:

zhongli started to console qiqi, cradling her into his arms, "cooties don't exist, qiqi."

"but, baba, uncle baizhu said, 'cooties are very contagious. to cure it i have to get the vaccine from his house.'" qiqi began to cry as zhongli wiped a tear from her face.

"baizhu likes to tease you since you are little-"

"baba! i am not little. i have two digits, i am older now."

"of course, you are a big girl now." zhongli comforting his daughter again, grabbing a gingerbread cookie from the counter. she takes it and cries,

"yes, baba! im a big girl and uncle wouldn't lie to me wouldn't he?" zhongli placed her on his lap, sitting on the couch. "well, no, of course he wouldn't. this is like how jiejie treats gege."

"ohhh."

This was made for <3, I don't know if the link thing worked but if they're reading this she knows who I'm talking about. ( The person this was made for uses she/they, be nice or I'll throw you cause they're amazing and deserve respect.)

Yantao fluff

It's their 1 year anniversary 🩷

( Also she/they Yanfei, cause yes )

The legal advisor didn't really know what was acceptable for a one year anniversary. This was her longest relationship, she knew Hu Tao was more relaxed, she'd probably love anything Yanfei did for her, but she still wanted to make it special.

That's why she was planning things a few days in advance, a few ideas of what she wanted to do in mind. Maybe take Hu Tao on a picnic date, take her on a walk somewhere, ideas flew through their mind but they had one thing set in mind.

Hu Tao seemed to be fond of butterflies, Yanfei learned that a long while before the two got together, so that's why she commissioned a butterfly necklace made just for the funeral director. It was silver but had tiny red jewels for eyes, the color fitted Tao in Yanfei's personal opinion.

They could only hope that it wouldn't get broken, she made good money but not good enough to get it repaired constantly. Yanfei had pre-picked a box, suiting for a black one and gently placing the necklace inside, careful to make sure the necklace didn't get tangled.

'This should do surely.' Yanfei thought to herself as she slid the box into a drawer in her office desk, keeping it safe until the day of their anniversary.

The day came, if the Advisor was honest with themselves it came quicker than she expected, Hu Tao was the only thing on her mind as she was quickly making their way through the work given to them that day. Shockingly enough, the monstrous pile of work was gone quicker then expected.

Slipping the box into her pocket, she made her way to the funeral parlor, maybe she could pick Hu Tao up sooner then expected. The director was surprisingly standing at the front door of the parlor, seemingly waiting for Yanfei.

' I had a feeling you'd be here earlier Fei!' Hu Tao embraced Yanfei of a tight hug before pulling away with a slight playful smirk.

' I somehow managed to have a light workload today, why the smirk Tao?'

' I got you something!' Hu Tao motioned for Yanfei to wait for her outside as she quickly rushed back into the parlor, leaving the legal advisor slightly confused.

A few minutes later the director came back with a box and excitingly handed it to Yanfei. ' I wanted to give it to you earlier but I knew I should probably wait.'

Now slightly curious Yanfei noted the box was slightly heavy, but she was able to open it and was a bit shocked at what she saw. 'You've said before that you find Fontaine 's law system tricky so I found a book that perfectly describes Fontaine laws and it has some of their most famous cases! I won't be shocked if you already have it though, or if you heard of it already. I probably should have gotten something else but I didn't know-'

Hu Tao was shushed by a gentle kiss from Yanfei, ' I don't have this one Tao, it's perfect thank you.'

That seemed to quiet the funeral director for a few minutes, returning the kiss once she seemed to snap back to reality, wrapping her hand in Yanfei's. ' I know you have things planned out but I have plans after those plans so why don't you go ahead and show me what you have planned.'

That sounds perfectly amazing to the legal advisor, as she lead the director to a place where they had intricately planned a few days in advance. A picnic basket filled with food made by Xiangling, their first stop was to pick that up.

' Love birds!' Xiangling jokingly yelled at the two as they walked away with the basket, 'how embarrassing' Yanfei silently thought to herself.

' Aww is my deer flustered?' Hu Tao snickered, amused by the sight of a flustered Fei. ' Tao shush. '

Tao did not shush, instead she continued to comment on how adorable Fei looked when flustered.

Yanfei had picked a quiet are slightly outside of Liyue Harbor, placing the basket down they pulled out a blanket and evenly spread it out on the ground. Hu Tao was happy to see that she had gotten steamed fish and prawn dumplings, while Yanfei had gotten Crab Roe Tofu.

The two chatted while eating, cleaning the mess up when done. ' We'll return the basket tomorrow, I still have more plans.'

Yanfei held her hand out and helped Hu Tao get up, holding the basket as she led her girlfriend down a path. ' You like walks, right Tao?'

The funeral director enthusiastically nodded. The path was a different way back to Liyue Harbor, it was long but the two kept eachother company throughout the walk.

' Fei what do you have planned next?' Tao asked as they were almost back to Liyue Harbor, still hand in hand with her lover. 'Its nothing big but I'd still prefer you wait to see.'

'Yanyan please?' ' No, be patient and wait'

By that time they had already arrived back to their original destination, so Hu Tao decided to suck it up and patiently wait, something she wouldn't normally do.

' It's getting late isn't it.' The two were making their way back to Yanfei's home and Hu Tao had noted how dark it had gotten. ' Mhm, but what I have planned shouldn't take to long so you can rest soon.'

' Sleepover?' The funeral director excitingly asked, a new pace in her step as she had already memorized the way back the other's home. 'Yes Tao, a sleepover.'

When the two got home Yanfei sat down with Hu Tao in the living room, they had to admit they were nervous, but she tried her best to reassure herself that Hu Tao would love the gift. ' Soo I got you something.'

Yanfei pulled out the box with Tao's gift and handed it over, watching nervously but also excitingly as she opened it. ' Yanyan I love it!'

Yanfei helped Hu Tao put it on, clasping it in the back for her. ' Now Tao what were your plans?' 'Sleepover.' Yanfei giggled as she ran one of her hands through the other's hair.

The two stared at eachother for a bit, a loving look in each other's eyes as Yanfei continued to play with Hu Tao's hair. The moment was interrupted by a yawn from Hu Tao.

' Sleepy love?' Yanfei asked, trying not to laugh at the adorable sight of their girlfriend's head resting on her lap. Hu Tao mumbled something, probably too tired to understand Yanfei.

' Let's get you too bed, alright?' After a few protests from Hu Tao, who wanted to stay on the couch cuddled up on Yanfei's lap, the legal advisor had managed to get Hu Tao to bed.

The director climbed on top of Yanfei and laid her head on the other's chest, snuggling up to get comfy. Somehow, Yanfei managed to pull a blanket over the both of them, trying not to melt from how adorable she thought her girlfriend was.

' Sleep well Tao'

Hu Tao mumbled something back but Yanfei wasn't able to hear it, her hand finding itself gently combing through the sleepy funeral directors hair. ' Pretty. ' Hu Tao whispered, it shocked Yanfei for a minute but returned back to combing through the directors hair until the two of them fell asleep.

| This was long so I had to leave some stuff out as too not destroy my will to write and I'm tried but I wanted to write this as soon as possible. |
