You never fail to amaze me. Part one(?)
Xiao x fem! reader.
Warnings: reader being wrote as she/you, slowburn (?), not proof read, a lil bit of blood
note: I couldn’t post because I was in the hospital! Drink water and be safe :)
He made a promise to never be close to anyone ever again, for the selfish reason to keep his heart safe. But you made that extremely difficult.
It started when he was patrolling around Liyue a couple weeks ago.
He heard a scream coming from his right. He was just walking down a path, mask on and polearm out, a stroll at night.
Obviously, he had to check the area out, to see if everything was alright. He ran as fast as he could, then came to a view of a woman stepping back from a group of hillicurls. She looked like a merchant. What was she doing here as late of night?
One of the hillicurls decided to throw a spear at her while he was deep in thought.
Xiao’s eyes widened, he came to step in, telling you to at least try to dodge the attack, “Hey—” But he was a second to late, as your arm was hit by the spear.
She quickly groaned in pain, as she kneeled, taking deep breaths, the cold night air shaping her breath to be a white puff.
He noticed that she was angry, not scared or fearful. Why weren’t you scared?
“Are you here to help or watch?!” She looked at Xiao with pain in her eyes, along with annoyance. She gripped her bleeding arm. She must’ve ripped out the spear.
He was shocked. No mortal has ever talked to him that way before, especially in a situation like this. He frowned, quickly appearing in front of her.
“To help, you ungrateful mortal.” He looked back at her, glaring. As quick as he appeared, he disappeared. Now above the hillicurls, he fought. It was like a dance, the way he was fighting. So graceful and sufficient.
….
As he knocked the last hillicurl out, he came to face the woman. She was too focused on wrapping bandages on her wound. He now realized she was holding a box full on items, probably for her store. But she was sloppy, and doing it so wrong that he sighed, kneeling right next to her, smacking her hand away from her wound.
“Your doing it wrong, mortal.” He grumbled, unwrapping it, and starting from scratch.
She was shocked at the “scary man’s” actions, until she snapped out from her trance, frowning.
“Hey! I had it right the first time.” The woman tried slapping his hand away, but he had a firm grip on the bandages.
“No you didn’t, you fool. Be greatful I’m even doing this.” Xiao smacked the back of her head, making her wince.
“Ouch!” She used her unhurt arm to rub the back of her head, glaring at him. “Have you ever heard of never raising your hand to a woman? Where are your manners?” She scowled, giving up on telling him to buzz off.
“Where are yours?” Xiao rose an eyebrow, quickly realizing she couldn’t see under his mask, only shaking his head while sighing.
“For you? Long gone.” She huffed.
Currently, Xiao was craving his usual, almond tofu. He went to the Wangshu Inn, seeking food, only to find out that they ran out.
Verr Goldlet told him that there was a new stand set up, having multiple foods and desserts that quickly became famous in Liyue. Not as good as Wanmin Restaurant, but it was pretty close.
So, out of curiosity, and the almond tofu, Xiao decided to seek this stand.
As he stood in front of the stand, he froze. The woman from the other night. She was the chief.
“What can I get for you?” She had the same wound and the bandages that he wrapped for her.
“Sir—?” Was this the right stand? He didn’t know.
“Uhem? Sir?” Oh but he can just smell the almond tofu, it smelt like it was definitely worth it.
“SIR!” She yelled, snapping him out of his thoughts. “What would you like to order?” She said in annoyance.
Xiao blushed in embarrassment, why was he thinking so hard?!
“Almond tofu.” He said, rolling his eyes. Acting like he didn’t just embarrass himself.
“Oh, your creepy guy from the other day.” She made a face of disgust.
“Creepy guy? How so?” Xiao rose an eyebrow.
“You touched my arm!” This made Xiao’s eyes widen.
“You were wounded! I was helping you!”
“Here’s your almond tofu!” She ignored his comment, giving him a box of almond tofu that she made not that long ago. “Now leave!”
Xiao rolled his eyes, vanishing along with the box of almond tofu.
Xiao found out something new. He hated you. He hated the fact that he was interested in the way you act toward him, he hated that he helped you, he hated it.
He also hated the fact that your almond tofu was really good.
note: I honestly didn’t really try, I’m exhausted from a lot of things so I apologize in advance.

Before the kick-off they stayed for a few minutes in the center circle and it's interesting to notice that they weren't really at ease around each other, not talking a lot and avoiding to catch eyes.

Incorrect sayings that I use so often I’ve almost forgotten that they’re not the originals:
I have bigger fish to fight
We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it
You can lead a horse to water, but if you drown it you have to walk home
Opening a can of whales
You made your bed, now shit in it
Combining the latter two into the phrase “you opened this can of whales, now lie in it”

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.
