#then when ik makes up with and befriends belphie she tells xiao

[journey-to-the-attic]

GIRL (gender neutral) HELP IM GOING INSANE AT THE IDEA OF XIAO BEING SUMMONED TO FIGHT OFF BELPHIE

the brothers just being like "what the fu-" before xiao goes absolutely feral and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

after belphie gets his head stomped in, xiao tries to go after the other brothers and ik has to forcibly stop him (which is surprisingly hard considering he's so small [5'3])

the other brothers are in Fear bc this tiny little man, just barely taller than ik, kicked the ass of one of the strongest demons in the devildom, and although lucifer, mammon and maybe levi might (BIG might, false safety) not have much to worry about, the others most definitely do

they have to literally prove to him that they mean no harm to ik and even then it takes a hell of a lot of convincing from ik and wAIT WHAT ARE THOSE MARKS ON YOUR ARM-

just. give me xiao in the obey me universe with precisely 0 clue whats happening but he sees a demon attacking his tiny human and says "the fuck you will"

worse, he tells peepaw zhongli who is more than ready to take up the spear again bc nobody touches his seelie grandkid, gnosis be damned

sincerely, an anon who has xiao and zhongli as comfort characters

belphie hears someone yell "LAMENT" and next thing he knows he's waking up in bed with a massive lump in his head. immediately upon sitting up he hears "I WILL HAVE ORDER" and the only thing that stops zhongli from actually dropping the meteor he's summoning on him is ik punching him in the arm

xiao will slap his mask on and start throwing hands as soon as any of the brothers get anywhere near him, ik, or zhongli - who himself is not much better, because he keeps turning into a dragon every time he lays eyes on belphie and threatening to squish him

lucifer's having a crisis because this tiny man might just be able to kill him??? and this other man who can turn into a DRAGON would DEFINITELY be able to kill him?? poor guy gets taken down a good few pegs because neither zhongli nor xiao tolerate his usual 'i am in charge and you all will listen to me' attitude. ik's just happy to see some familiar faces from liyue down here in the devildom :D
