#I'm dreading 2.2 because my primos will never recover after that

[madametrashbin]

You still want characters how about Xiao?

Ooh...! My sweet lil Yaksha boy! skjsksjjs I, uhh, my brain kinda melted on this because I didn’t know which idea to use. My brain is dying, not just from 2.2 but also Itto reveal is like- *wheeeeeeze*

I’m sorry, but like, Itto is a fucking himbo, radiates that energy and is canonically one from what I’ve read of the things that mentioned him in game... And I have a soft spot for himbo/bimbo/thembos so I kinda lost myself on Monday. (And the amount of content produced is astounding already, making me scream at myself to keep priorities for the future before I completely disregard that.)

But anyways, enough about that and uhh... have some Xiao food while I work on one last thing and then back into that wip.

Xiao lived to fight and protect the people of Liyue.

He fights to uphold the contract he made, to rid the world of its evils so people could live without worries and to ensure that incidents of the past do not repeat. That was all he had ever done, all he had ever known until you came around and everything feels different... his way of life so much more different.

Your hands beckon forth feelings within him that he never knew he was capable of having for as long as he lived... in both the darkness of the karmic debt, and in the light of the mortal world.

Your eyes look to him softly, and your touch burns his skin in a pleasant manner he grows to crave for. He does everything for you, for his life as he knew was all made to be yours... no one else could ever make him feel like this.

No one could ever make him feel so loved, so important, so fragile... but you.

And with your divine power, the karmic debt that linger forever in his life disappears as though it was just a fleeting nightmare... so how could he not love you for liberating him from that darkness? 

He could finally breathe, free from the pain as long as you are around, so...

“Don’t go.”

He says as you were preparing to get up from the bed so you could stretch your legs for the new day. The yaksha rarely makes pleas like this, and looking over to his sleepy figure after he spent the night in your room to get some well deserved rest under your orders, grabs your arm before you could leave.

“Please don’t go... not yet, Your Grace.”

His voice is groggy, the rasp very clear and the way his eyes look at you with such desperation... you couldn’t refuse him.

He looked so cute like that anyways, so you shifted back until he could wrap his arms around your waist and lay his head by your side while you remained sitting up against the headboard with your hands gently carding through his messy dark hair that quickly eases the tension from his body and allow him to fall back to sleep.

You remain in the same position for the next couple of hours before he is aware, and while your legs are rather numb from not moving for so long, seeing your little Yaksha well-rested and looking much better than the day before was worth it.

You tease him quietly once he was lucid enough to think properly, his face now left red from how bold he was in his half-asleep state and spent the next hour profusely apologizing to you. It took a while for you to get him to stop, telling him you didn’t mind even if your legs were numb that time.

Although Xiao remains embarrassed by that moment, a part of him was happy for being so close to you... that small part of him wishes to do it again, as long as you would allow him to stay by your side and sate his desire for your gentle touch that soothes his pain away.

...of course, he’s still embarrassed by how he acted, so he’s most likely not going to do something like that in a while.
