꩜. 29 - meet up (mostly 🎞️)

xiao arrives to the meeting first courtesy of his class finishing early and his eagerness (paired with his anxiousness) to see you. he settles into one of the library’s desks reserved for students, lays out his rough draft, and waits. there are about five minutes before your class ends, and it’ll probably take another five minutes for you to gather your things and walk here, xiao calculates in his mind. 

his mind drifts back to the last meeting and he can’t help but curse himself for letting such detail slip. yet again he overthinks things, hu tao’s words not even taken into consideration at all. 

xiao cracks his knuckle, a habit he unconsciously does whenever he feels anxious. he absolutely cannot afford to mess anything up today so he’ll have to take some steps to ensure that, starting with being very careful with his words. don’t mention twitter. don’t say anything that only ‘tofu’ would know. perhaps not saying too much would be best, he decides.

too lost in his thoughts, xiao doesn’t even notice you approaching until you pull out the chair beside him, the scrape of it’s leg against the library floor snaps him back to reality.

“xiao!” you greeted, ever so cheerful. xiao looks up only to be met with that smile of yours. he liked that about you, how blissfully unaware you could be sometimes. “sorry to keep you waiting, have you been waiting long?”

xiao nods as a greeting and you chuck it up to how he usually is, quiet and reserved. “no.” he simply says, his expression stoic as ever.

“you sure? how long have you been waiting?” you ask as you sit down.

“..ten minutes.” he replies.

“oh, that’s kind of long.. no?” you laugh awkwardly, trying to make small talk.

“...” he doesn't say a word. instead, his gaze drifts from you to the school bag that’s sitting on your lap. you mentally slap yourself.

“..sorry.” you mumble, your hands gripping the bag ever so slightly for support.

if he noticed, he didn't say anything.

xiao looks back at you. for a brief moment, he almost seems confused. you can't decide if he’s actually confused or if he’s secretly judging you. “..it’s alright.” he assures, though it came out sounding more like a question than anything.

trying to ease the awkward tension, you pull out a notebook from your bag and set it down on the desk. “alright, uh.. so how should we do this?” you question.

xiao fall silent for a moment, choosing his next words very carefully.

“i’ll read mine first, tell me if there’s anything wrong with it, then you can read yours and i’ll do the same.” he instructs, you nod thoughtfully.

xiao looks down at his paper, the one he spent hours on just thinking about all the things that remind him of you. 

he definitely can’t mention the first one. it’d be a surefire way to expose him as ‘tofu’. he looks at you and sees you looking at him expectantly. archons, hopefully he doesn’t mess this one up. 

“you..” he stumbles on his words for a brief second. “..you remind me of drawings.” he flinches at how ridiculous he sounds. you look at him all confused with your mouth slightly agape and he inwardly slaps himself. 

“drawings? how come?” you ask, tilting your head. there isn’t a hint of mockery in your voice. if anything, you sound genuinely intrigued. unfortunately that only makes him more nervous. he swallows hard, afraid he’ll let you down with what he’s about to say next.

“one time i was in charge of collecting math notebooks to submit to ms rhinedottir,” he begins, carefully testing the waters. he scans your face for any expression and when one doesn’t come, he takes it as a sign to continue. “i.. accidentally saw some drawings you made on the margin.” 

your face morphs into a look of recognition for a moment before it’s replaced with a look of horror. “you saw that?!” you squeaked. “oh this is so embarrassing.. i swear i was paying attention and not just doodling on my notebook..” you continue, burying your face in your palm. hiding behind your hand, you miss the tiny smile of fondness softening xiao's features before he schools it back to his usual stoic look.

“it’s alright. ms rhinedottir isnt exactly the most.. engaging teacher anyway.” he tries to reassure. you lower your hand from your face, a small grin slowly overtaking your face. “right?!” you agreed. 

“it was such a.. such a you thing to do.” he hesitates for a moment and you tilt your head, curiosity overtaking your features. “even in a subject you complain about a lot, you still manage to leave traces of yourself everywhere.” he finishes. 

you’re not sure if he meant it as a good thing or not, but it’s probably not bad, right? xiao catches that look of unsureness on your face. before you can reply, he coughs into his hand and looks at his notebook again. “ahem, let’s continue before it gets dark.” he simply says and you have no choice but to nod even though you still have a multitude of questions.

xiao decides not to mention the ink part, wanting to avoid mentioning your writing at any costs. describing you as a lantern is the safer option, he decides. “you’re like a lantern”. xiao winches at how he worded it. by the confused and slightly flabbergasted look on your face he can already tell he said something dumb. 

“a lantern?” you ask and xiao is convinced he’s already messed things up. 

“you light things up.” xiao holds back the sudden urge to slap himself. light things up? light things up. that’s NOT what he wrote at all! perhaps if he had the power to teleport away at that very instant, he would. unfortunately for him, xiao had no such powers so he was forced to promptly stand up from his chair and excuse himself to the bathroom. 

you looked at the now empty chair beside you and sighed, wondering what was up with xiao today. with nothing else to do, you do the only thing a normal person would do in that situation. that’s right, you open twitter and start vague posting.

slight suggestive lohen imagine.

lohen with cuteness aggression.

everytime you two meet around the knight of favonius hq, he couldnt help but to pull you aside just to cup your face and squish your cheeks gently.

to you, it might looked like an innocent exchange, which you dont mind at all. but it was a different perspective from lohen's side. he was panting, almost like a mad dog as he admires your glossy eyes, the way your lips looking so kissable at the moment that he might do just that until both of you are breathless. the plumpiness of your cheeks that he loves oh so much, he couldnt resist to give it a few wet kisses.

"lohen, stop. that tickles," you giggled, lightly pushing him away by his chest. he adored the sound that you made, like a hymn to his ears. he took the initiative to nibble the flesh.

"lord, you're so cute and adorable. i could just eat you up like this," he mumbled with his mouth full of your cheek. he could already imagine himself eating you in both ways to satisfy his bottomless hunger for you. all for him. you're his, and no one gets to taste you like he did.

he was dangerously considering that you two should have a quick getaway time together, because dear barbatos your face is making him feel things ten times the normal amount, its borderline unhealthy.

not to mention that being around you made him hard. extremely hard.

he was drunk on you, a little bit tipsy from a wine called moments with you. he slumped over and embraced you like he meant it, all while nuzzling his face against your neck.

"i love you so SO much, sugarplum. i dont think i can live without you~"

and his statement wasnt even an exaggeration. he wont hesitate to kill anyone who dares to harm you.

"alright, my sweet talking vice captain. we should go back to work before jean finds us loitering like this. we can meet back home later."

oh the things he wants to do to you. you'd better be prepared by then.

a/n: this twink got control over me. i want him to do stuffs to me like, plsssss lohen one chance 🙏🏻😭

How to Fix Underwriting

1. Slow down at emotionally important moments.

Big emotions need space to land. If a scene feels rushed, pause the plot briefly to show how the moment affects the character.

2. Add reactions, not explanations.

Instead of explaining what a character feels, show it through physical responses, hesitation, or small actions that reveal emotion naturally.

3. Ground every scene in the senses.

If a scene feels thin, add one or two sensory details—sound, texture, smell, or temperature—to make the moment feel lived-in.

4. Let thoughts interrupt action.

A line of internal thought can deepen a scene without slowing it too much. Thoughts show stakes, fear, longing, or conflict beneath the action.

5. Expand consequences, not events.

You don’t need more things to happen—you need to show what matters. Focus on how events change relationships, decisions, or self-perception.

6. Strengthen setting where emotion peaks.

The environment should echo or contrast the emotion of the scene. Setting is not decoration—it’s emotional reinforcement.

7. Add specific details instead of general ones.

Underwriting often relies on vague language. Swap “they argued” for one sharp line of dialogue or a specific breaking point.

8. Let dialogue breathe.

Short dialogue exchanges without pauses can feel flat. Add beats—silence, gestures, interruptions—to give the conversation weight.

9. Show transitions between scenes.

If scenes jump too quickly, readers feel disoriented. A brief transition helps establish time, mood, and emotional continuity.

10. Clarify stakes early in the scene.

If readers don’t know what can be lost, scenes feel empty. Make sure the character wants something specific and fears losing it.

11. Use the “what are they feeling right now?” check.

After each major beat, ask what emotion is dominant in that moment. If it’s missing on the page, the scene is likely underwritten.

12. Expand scenes that feel “too clean.”

If a scene resolves too neatly or quickly, it probably needs more tension. Messy emotions and unresolved feelings add depth.

Childhood Memory Grief Prompts

⊹ Opening a closet and finding something that still smells faintly like them, and standing there longer than you meant to.

⊹ realizing you remember how their hand felt holding yours, but not the last thing they ever said.

⊹ sitting on the floor where you used to play as a kid and noticing how much smaller everything feels now.

⊹ catching yourself thinking you should tell them about something good that happened, and feeling stupid for a second before it hurts.

⊹ keeping a childhood object because it proves they were real and not just something you made up.

⊹ remembering the way they used to say your name, and noticing no one else says it like that.

⊹ finding an old photo and staring at it, trying to remember what the day felt like instead of what it looked like.

⊹ realizing most of what you remember about them are ordinary moments, not the important ones.

⊹ walking past a place you used to go together and feeling wrong for continuing without them.

⊹ noticing you still think of yourself as their child, even though they aren’t here to see who you became.

⊹ remembering how safe you felt without knowing why, and missing that more than anything.

⊹ finding something broken and instinctively thinking they’d know how to fix it.

⊹ realizing you don’t remember their voice clearly anymore, and feeling panicked about what will go next.

⊹ holding onto routines you learned from them because they feel like instructions for how to exist.

⊹ remembering the house the way it was when they were alive, not the way it is now.

⊹ noticing that the memories you return to are always from before everything changed.

⊹ wishing you could go back to a moment that didn’t feel important at the time.

⊹ feeling like part of your childhood is locked behind a door you can’t open anymore.

⊹ realizing you grew up, but the memories didn’t.

⊹ feeling comforted and sad at the same time when something reminds you of them.

⊹ remembering how small you were when they were still there.

⊹ realizing you’ve been carrying them quietly for years.

[whalemarch]

pov you wake up and find yourself still dreaming

[queenkrystalmarie]

Oh my...

[lumartinscos]

the way i’d wake up next to eternal paradise

[queenkrystalmarie]

I can't even deny that I thought the same.

[aurumalatus]

having thoughts about a pixelprincess kinich who has a bruise under his collar and everyone is talking about it.

it can’t be a hickey because the captain is too prickly and busy to be involved with anyone. it can’t be an injury, because who the hell would be skilled enough to injure someone like him? there are wild stories and conspiracy theories being passed around, ranging from political coups to magic and monsters, all to explain the existence of such a small, purpling mark.

one of the newer recruits is dared (aka forced) into asking kinich about it during dinner.

he stiffens, a bloom of pink spreading over his cheeks as he takes another swig of his drink.

“go ask the princess,” he mutters under his breath.

(so maybe the captain isn’t too prickly or too busy, he’s just too prickly and too busy for anyone who isn’t you.)

[writing-prompt-s]

A dragon accidently kidnaps the kingdom's prince instead the princess because the prince just likes to crossdress as a girl.

[queenkrystalmarie]

Hmm, I've changed it as an idea a little bit for a Genshin AU.

Prince Aether gets accidentally kidnapped by a dragon/archon to be wed to their child, mistaking him for Princess Lumine, his sister. All because he was pretending to be her for a prank.

The "betrothed" role I was thinking depending on the dragon/archon role.

Zhongli => Xiao

Raiden => Wanderer

Mavuika => Kinich? Ororon?

Etc.

It was just a small little thought.
