Reacting To A First Boner Toward S/O || One-Shots ||
So this is just an actual random thought that popped into my head while i was talking to Mod Kaeya one day, âWhat if the two archon boys and the angry adeptus boy popped a boner for the first time over their partner when theyâre not even trying to be sexy, how would they think to this and react?â and now this post exists, so yea :) Enjoy~ - Mod Diluc
i played one ending of gorou's hangout event and his ears are so EXPRESSIVE i'm so in love. it's beyond adorable oh my god... just thinking about gorou's ears twitching and his tail wagging while he eats you out because your scent and your taste are almost too much for his keen canine senses to handle; you smell and taste so good that you have to actually push him away from your pussy because he'll eat you out until you're beyond overstimulated.
op's notes: y'all knew I just had to add itto as soon as I could to the husbando lineup, especially with the "daddy" theme. how fitting ;)

This is just pure smut, pure filthy trashy smut between s/o and Xiao. Long story short s/o finally has enough of Xiaos attitude and gives him a good smack, and that just awakens actual Satan basically, but again this is just smutty smut smut... with a bit of angst at the start i guess- also this is WAY longer than I assumed it was gonna be... and I have spent roughly a week on this too so I'm honestly broken at trying to tidy it up anymore... so like sorry for the small novel I've ended up writing. But either way blame Mod Kaeya for giving me this idea, enjoy you dirty lil babies ( â ÍĘâ) - Mod Diluc
It had been another one of those nights, you'd been enjoying a couple of drinks with your friends not far from Wangshu Inn, just taking in the beautiful night sky while taking a trip down memory lane with your childhood besties. Not a care in the world while you bathed in your much deserved weekend treat. However watching from a very high up distance- the top balcony of the Inn to be precise, was Xiao, your complicated adeptus lover.
His arms were crossed and he had his mask covering his face the entire time he stared down so intensely at you and your 'friends'. He didn't like how comfy one guy in particular was getting with you. His stare was suffocating, but his visible anger was hidden by the mask keeping him shadowed in mystery on the outside.
You had no clue he was spying on you right now, in all honesty you thought he'd ran away from you, considering your last get together with him ended in a heated argument that resulted in you storming off and telling him to just 'fuck off if you can't even show me the simplest actions of affection.' So him looming up high and stalking you like a predator eyeing up their prey was the last outcome you expected tonight.
Giggling and snickering like a tipsy fool with your friends was all that was on your mind right now. And as the night progressed you got more tongue tied with your words and dizzy with your steps, and Xiao grew closer to out of patience, he hadn't moved an inch this entire time. One could've mistook him for a statue with the way he stood right now, arms still crossed, breathing so soft and shallow you can't detect signs of life unless you're right beside him.
However when your too close for comfort friend wrapped his arm round your hip Xiao snapped. He felt something inside break free, a raw primal instinct took over him and he flung himself off the balcony, diving through the air. He landed right beside you and your friends with a whirlwind entrance, the wind was ice cold and it made you shiver. Your eyes were wide as you turned to look at him in shock.
"Xiao-" He spun his head on an axis with pin point accuracy landing on you. "Shut up." He spat the words out with unrivaled frustration dripping from them. His oni eyes then met with the guys who still had his hand round your hip. "Get away from her. Now." He continued to spit the words out with such inner rage. He was becoming scary and the wind hadn't quite settled down round him yet, a cold breeze still brushing past every few seconds.
The guy obeyed with a shake in his movements, terrified to his inner core. No one had any idea what was going on right now. As scared as you were however you felt your own anger bubbling inside you. Maybe it was the fact you were so intoxicated right now that you had begun to loose sense and reason. But you couldn't control what began spilling from your lips; "Xiao fuck off. I dunno who you think you are but you can't treat me like shit then scare off my fucking friends when we're having a good time."
You felt justified in your drunken sputtering words leaving your mouth. He never hugs you, never says he loves you, never even wishes you a safe trip home. Why did you even love him at this point? Your brain was on full autopilot right now as you stood there, wine bottle in hand with the other against your hip. You looked like a failed attempt of a scolding mother right now. Your friends were stuck in complete disbelief over what you'd just said to Xiao.
Xiao however said nothing, his head just turned to look at you during your drunken rant. The cold breeze had finally died down and stopped. You were too drunk to feel it but your friends were drowning in the tension that was being created between you two right now. "What did you just say?" Xiao finally muttered, albeit it through gritted teeth behind his mask. You scoffed walking up to him now. Yep. Your mind had lost all common sense it would appear.
Your reason was nowhere to be found right now though, it was hard to calm down now. Your thoughts just kept edging you on, since everything your brain kept making you remember was true. It hurt how he never even pretends to care. What good comes from a relationship if the other partner doesn't even love you? Your eyes began to grow glossy looking from the tears inching closer to spilling over.
"You don't even love me. So stop acting so jealous when anyone else shows me signs of affection. In fact-" the final twig holding your nest of collective thoughts crumbled and you lifted your wine bottle up above his head before turning it upside down, the liquid spilled out and ran down Xiao. Soaking his hair and making his skin go shiny, his clothing becoming damp too. He didn't move the whole time you kept emptying your drink over him. However your friends now feared for their lives.
They all sobered up pretty damn quick after seeing how suicidal you'd become in your drunken state. They all scampered away into the night not even saying goodbye to you, you were a dead girl now anyway. So there you two were. You frowning with glossy eyes and staring deep into his masks eyes as he stood there covered in wine, the only sound now was the drips of said wine falling off his body. You didn't know it right now, but he was having to contain the most painful hard on he'd ever experienced in his pants right now.
He had never felt so turned on before, seeing his weak, stupid and very drunk girlfriend stand up to him in such a clueless manner and then humiliate him despite her not even being able to keep her body still, had let lose another primal and feral instinct inside him. He couldn't find the words right now, he was so angry and yet horny it was overwhelming him. But he knew whatever was gonna happen next is best kept in privacy, not on the outside entrance to the Wangshu Inn.
So with that one and only sensible thought racing in his head among the countless indecent ones, he grabbed your arm and tugged you hard into him, making you drop the wine bottle to the ground and leaving it to roll in a small circle before coming to a silent stop. Keeping you pressed tightly against him, ignoring your slurred insults you kept tossing his way he shot into the air.
Wind blew around like a fierce creature around you and him both, a scream firing past your lips, he flew you both back up to the balcony, his feet landing with a thud onto the wooden flooring again. He then dropped you unexpectedly letting you fall onto your knees accompanied with an 'Oof' slipping past your lips. You stayed there trying to catch your breath and process the fact you'd just been shot through the sky.
You felt your stomach turning and you thought you was gonna be sick, you wasn't even paying attention to Xiao anymore. You just heard his faint steps behind you, but you were too close to vomiting up everything you'd eaten that day to care what that cold hearted monster was doing right now. Just as you began to heave and felt the sick rising in your throat you felt a rough grip on your cheeks, the sick feeling instantly being halted and pushed back down as your face was then harshly pulled to stare into a pair of bright furious yellow eyes. Xiaos eyes. He'd very angrily walked past you to place his mask down on the side before storming back over to the sound of your dry heaving. Why on earth did he love such a pathetic creature? You were so disgusting right now and he loved you still. Why?
"You are truly despicable. You put on quite a show there. Is you throwing up going to be the closing act to this theatre performance?" His voice was somewhere between livid sounding and amused sounding. But you couldn't figure it out, nor did you want too. You were still mad at him for cutting your fun night out with your friends short. "Let me go. I don't want to even look at you right now-" your sentence was cut short and your breathing was stolen from you.
Xiaos lips had pressed themself against yours, he still had your cheeks in his strong gripped hand. He was crouched down in a squat like position while forcing you into a very passionate kiss. You could feel his tongue trying to push past your teeth but you kept refusing him. As much as you'd been craving his touch and attention for weeks now, this is not how you wanted it. He didn't deserve to do this to you after how he's been treating you the past few weeks.
You tried to squirm free, pressing your hands against his chest, you'd think being in a position like he is he would be easy to knock over, wrong. He has the powers of a demi god after all, and you're intoxicated right now, so what little strength you normally do have was next to nonexistent now. However he grew impatient with your constant squirming and wriggling, he finally pulled his lips away from yours, hearing you gasp for air. "Let me go!" You cried out in utter frustration.
"No. This is what you wanted wasn't it? Otherwise what was all the drama down there for? Huh?" You could feel his grip on your cheeks growing tighter and it started to hurt. He had got the wrong idea of what you'd been craving this whole time, you couldn't blame him either since he's so distant from mortals and socialising now. But what was pissing you off was that he wasn't even listening to you now, like sure you're drunk and probably not speaking coherently anymore but you still deserved to be listened too.
"No Xiao. This is not what i meant by it at all you unbelievable idiot!" You shouted the words out getting so unbelievably angry. Then it happened again, you lost sense of reason and bought your hand up to slap him hard against the face. That's when your eyes widened and you felt a sour taste in your mouth, what had you just done... this wasn't good. The sound of the slap had barely finished echoing throughout the open night sky before you had already began regretting it with every fibre of your being.
He turned his head to the side, his cheek now showing a dusty pink shade in colour where your hand had just made contact. You could see him tensing, you even saw his adams apple bob up and down from swallowing down so hard. His eyes were closed this whole time too, he let your cheeks go, his hand that he had been gripping your cheeks with was now pressed against the his own cheek that was shifting colour. A deep slow inhale was emitted from him when he touched his cheek.
You felt your body go numb, your muscles had begun to ache and your throat had gone dry. You were now terrified of what was gonna happen, and you nearly jumped out your skin when Xiao swiftly and quickly crawled ontop of you, pushing your back down against the wooden flooring. His eyes opened and they looked completely lost... in something. Hazy for some reason.
His mind was beginning to shatter, all of his will was being used to keep himself composed right now, why on earth was this drunken mess of a mortal arousing him so much when talking down to him? Why did that slap make him want to just make you cum several times over now? Seeing you under him now, looking so worried and scared, no no, don't be afraid. He's not gonna hurt you, far from it. You could see the conflict in his eyes right now as he glared at your features almost... lovingly?
"Xiao... I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that... I... I wasn't thinking straight please forgive m-"
"Do it again."
You blinked a few times in utter shock, what... what did he just say? You stared at him in confusion, your eyes still wide and unsure. Had you heard him right there? "What did you just say?" You questioned softly. You felt like you had to ask him to repeat himself there, there's no way he really just said what you think he just did is there? "Do it, again." He spoke lowly but clearly, his eyes not leaving yours, keeping you locked in a gaze with him. He spoke it clear enough for you there. You wasn't imagining things, he really did just tell you to slap him again.
You were so confused now, your anger had completely melted away and turned to fear, but now it was just confusion and curiosity. Had you ever felt so many mixed emotions in such a small period of time before? You think this is a new world record now. But you wasn't gonna get him mad again, he seemed deadly serious in his words by the fact his body was not moving and he looked like he was actually waiting. So you hesitantly lifted your hand before swallowing down hard, mentally saying goodbye to everyone and everything you love incase this backfires on you and then-
Smack.
Your hand made contact with his cheek again and you felt your blood run cold, your heart was racing so fast you couldn't even speak anymore. But to your surprise he hadn't lashed back at you, you dared to open your eyes, not having realised you'd even closed them. He was breathing heavily over you now. His cheek bright red, his eyes looked more alive than you'd ever seen them before. You wasn't sure what to make of what was happening right now, but just when you went to utter a word he beat you to it.
"I love you Y/N" the word fell from his mouth with no restraint and you swore you were dead, you had to be. Did he really just? There's no way. Him say those words to you? Absolutely not. Were you still intoxicated? You had to be, you swore you'd started to sober up from the fear earlier but no, you had to still be out your mind drunk to imagine hearing him say that. "Xiao what did you-" He cut you off with his hand softly pressing over your mouth now.
You looked up at him so truly and utterly confused, but his eyes... they were full of lust now. You can tell by that glare alone, but that loving gaze was still embedded there too. "Y/N. I love you. I love you, and I'm sorry I've mistreated you and hurt you. I just... I don't want to loose you, I don't want to allow myself to love you if all you're gonna do is hurt me and leave me. I don't want that." What was this?! Why was he suddenly opening up to you now... now?! This wasn't fair. You couldn't tell your left hand from your right from the alcohol in your system and not to mention the royal emotional fuckery that was taking place right now.
His hand was still over your mouth anyway so even if you could think of words to try put together for a sentence you physically couldn't right now. "You said earlier I don't love you. That hurt. It also pissed me off, because it's made me see how poorly I've been treating you. Tsk. It's stupid I'm even opening up to a weak mortal to begin with. You probably won't remember this tomorrow anyway, since you did your best tonight to drink yourself into an early grave." His expression was stern but wavering.
He was fighting with himself so hard right now, and his inner self was telling him to stop talking and just show you what he means since practical is always easier to understand than theory. So he let a deep sigh out and gave in to his inner animalistic side that had been clawing for freedom since you first stood up to him tonight. Leaning down he began to kiss your neck slowly, leaving gentle nips at the skin as he did. Causing a soft gasp to escape your lips.
Good... make those noises for just him, he wanted to hear you moan his name tonight, he was gonna show you just how much he loved you. Your mind was already fuzzy over everything that had taken appearance tonight and your disbelief was out the roof, was this really happening? The quick sharp inhale through your gritted teeth in reaction to his hand snaking under your top was answer enough.
His hand began to slowly grope at your breast, perfectly cupping your mound of flesh in his hand as he did. He couldn't stop thinking about how everything to do with you was perfect and almost meant just for him. Letting his mind run wild with thoughts he continued to grope your breast, watching in delight as you began to get more breathy under him. He expecially enjoyed how a small moan slipped out of you when he ever so slightly pinched and then pulled at your nipple.
Your heart was thumping beyond belief now at what was happening, he was finally touching you, finally being intimate, after everything that had taken place tonight you really hadn't expected this to be how the night ended. Your joy took over however, mixed with your inner lust and want for this complicated and annoyingly rude man, and resulted in you sitting up making him halt his actions, a small look of worry and anger to your possible refusal and retaliation to this.
However his facial expression went soft when he saw you shuffle with your arms up wiggling your top off, now just a bra stood between him and your bare chest, this wasn't good enough though, he wanted you bare, and he wanted to be bare as well. To feel his skin touching yours, and you so badly wanted the same now. So both of you fueled with your inner urges crying out separated for but a moment to strip yourselves of your clothes and underwear. Till both of you were on the floor naked.
He had the look of a school boy being a rebel with his childhood sweetheart in an unoccupied classroom, with nothing but a lovestruck dumb gaze, and a raging hard on throbbing and twitching in anticipation. It made a small smile creep onto your lips; he looked undeniably cute right now. He'd never shown such a face to you before. But here he was, being as honest with his feelings like a puppy that can't lie. While you stared at him however his mind only ran more and more wild with his possessive and dominant nature growling under the surface.
Having been fed up with just the sharing glances between you both he made the first move, sitting up and turning to you and now placing himself ontop of you again, you absent mindedly rested your back against the floor again with a soft bite of your lip. He tensed watching you do that and had to stop himself from becoming too feral there. But he took a deep breath in and while staring into your eyes he made his next move, leaning his head down and pressing his lips against you.
It felt different to before now, it was still passionate and demanding obedience, but it was much more welcome and felt much more sincere this time around, so in your lust ridden actions and to his silent delight you let him finally push his tongue past your teeth and begin to dance and swirl with your own. The kiss was more intense than you expected it to be, it only took a moment for him to be pressing himself against you while the kiss deepened, both yours and his eyes shut as well.
The lack of air was getting to you both but neither of you wanted to pull away to even breath yet, the sound of lips smacking together in such a locked frenzied moment of passion was too intoxicating for both of you. He could taste the wine on your tongue and in your mouth as clear as if he had been drinking it himself, not to mention how strongly you could smell the wine from him, since you'd previously drowned his hair and clothes in it earlier.
You became so lost in this lung stinging and mind dizzying make out session, you hadn't realised that Xiao had already managed to weasel himself between your thighs. At last he pulled his lips away from yours, almost as if he'd had to fight himself in order to listen to himself to do so. You didn't realise just how carried away he was becoming, but as you were greeted back to air in your lungs you let out a heavy gasp. He himself also took a deep inhale through his nose, a small string of saliva had been connecting both your bottom lips together for a few seconds before snapping.
You didn't realise he could become so lost in such ways, you'd always thought being intimate like this was just a dream to keep you from feeling lonely most nights you sleep alone. Not actually reality- and certainly not playing out the way it was right now. But you were beyond happy and also horny. While still catching your breath however he had taken it upon himself to lower his head and start licking along your neck, planting gentle kisses and soft nips along the skin, soft grumbles escaping his lips as he did.
You couldn't help but let out a gentle moan, he was being so careful and unexpectedly skilled with his every slight move he did to your body. It felt too good to deny the noises that kept leaving your mouth, and he was more than enjoying hearing your reactions to his own actions. Every moan you made was accompanied by a low groan from him, your hands took control over themself at this point and snaked up and down his back slowly.
You felt him tense at this slight action though, and with a glint of mischief in your eyes you dug your nails into his skin and began to drag your hands from his shoulder blades down his back. His head lifted till he was almost looking up as if silently worshiping your clawing and scratching to his back, an uneven groan echoing from his lips as he shuddered in further response. You didn't know it but you'd just cut the last string of control he had round himself. His head dropped back down and his eyes were full of nothing but lust now.
You swallowed down nervously as you saw the change in his face, how primal he looked, how focused and somewhat scary even. You didn't have much time to question it though as you gasped and flinched as you felt his throbbing length now rubbing against your womanhood, which had already slowly been releasing your own slick in sheer excitement and want for him. Your mind began to grow hazy from his constant rubbing against your entrance, your womanhood was already twitching impatiently for him.
He knew how bad you wanted to feel him just push inside but he was drowning himself temporarily, in the delicious knowledge of knowing you were breaking under him right now. "What do you want Y/N?" He spoke in such a breathy manner, it sent a shiver down your spine just hearing him this way. "I... i..." so many thoughts racing in your brain but such little energy to actually speak them out. "Tell me, now." His voice grew stern and it made an ever so gentle whimper flutter from you. "I... I want you inside me Xiao... p- please..." You panted slightly while forcing the words from your lips.
You couldn't speak much longer and you started to grow worried he was planning on keeping this teasing up for a while, but your worries were quickly dismissed of and your air was stolen from your lungs as you cried out. He forced himself inside you, somewhat fast and hard, pushing all the way in till his base was pressing against your womanhood. You felt so incredibly full so suddenly and it resulted in your eyes rolling back in your head and you couldn't stop moaning, it didn't help that he had barely given you thirty seconds to get use to his presence intruding inside you before he began to thrust.
His thrusting hit hard and deep inside, your own slick was adding to his thrusts being so smooth and easy to maintain. Your eyes finally shut when you couldn't think straight anymore, your toes were constantly curling and spreading out over and over, the sensation inside was beyond divine and your heart was making your blood race. His head dropped down even more while his thrusting kept going relentlessly. His mouth was beside your ear and you heard his every heavy sigh and groan, his own pleasure seizing control over his brain.
This side of him was so different to how you'd always seen him acting that it was becoming like an outer body experience to you, was this just a fever dream? The limb numbing pleasure said otherwise however; and when you heard his low voice grumble out "God Y/N, y-you feel so good shit..." You didn't need anymore evidence that this was real. Your eyes kept fighting the urge to open and close constantly from the pleasure feeling otherworldly. Each thrust he did into you managed to end with him pressing right against your sweet spot, and he knew so from how your walls spasmed slightly around his length each time.
He loved the feeling of being inside you and he was calling himself all sorts of names for waiting so long before doing this with you, it also dawned on him that he'd found another way to keep you from talking back to him and causing problems with your attitude issues you seemed to be growing now. It's safe to say he's planning to do this often with you from now on. You began to moan louder however when you felt your lower abdomen begin to coil and grow tighter.
You felt yourself burning up all over outside and inside, panting faster as your hands found themself on his back again; digging your nails into his skin once again and causing another sharp inhale to leave his mouth. His back was now presenting a canvas of red lines all along it. "Xiao... I... I... am... clos-" You wasn't allowed to finished that sentence, because he simply began to pick up the pace of his thrusts tenfold and slam inside you harder than before.
Your hands dropped off his back finally and you pushed them above your head while turning your head left and right, loosing yourself to the orgasm that grew dangerously closer every thrust he did into you. He too could feel his own release building up, and in an odd sudden wave of intimacy he placed his hands over yours, squeezing them into his own grip while keeping them pressed above your head. That beautiful timed act of love and compassion blew you right over your edge, tipping you off and into euphoria.
Your whole body tensed and your insides began to tighten round his length as you cried out his name and was swept into your orgasm; your hands squeezing his own ever so tightly but to him it just strangely comforted him. Feeling your now hot insides tighten and practically milk his length of everything he was worth was too much for him to fight back, and he himself groaned out as his thick ropes of seed shot inside you, coating your insides, he even shuddered while doing so.
You were both perfectly taken over by joint orgasms and washed away by the feeling of eachother that neither of you wanted to move away from eachother. It just felt so nice and more importantly so right, to be connected like this. After you both had come down from your high he eventually dropped onto you gently. Laying on your body in defeat, his energy finally depleting. You both panted and weakly laid there just quietly accepting what had happened, that you both had taken the next step and there was no turning back now.
He was still in a mode of affection and kindness however, which is why he laid there peacefully and gently kissed at your neck with his eyes closed. Your heart was going to break if he kept this up, he was being too much for you now, so sweet, kind, caring and warming to you. For a first time with the man you deeply loved, you really couldn't complain with how it took place; even with it having been done on a balcony flooring of the Wangshu Inn. You didn't realise but you'd fallen asleep on the floor now, Xiao joining you in falling asleep while still ontop of you.
The next morning you awoke to the sound of birds chirping around you and the sun beaming down on you, you rubbed your eyes and yawned, a headache to kill all headaches was forming in your brain however, you really had drank too much last night. You felt like death itself right now, groaning lowly you sat up, and then it hit you how cold you suddenly felt. Looking down your eyes widened to see you were still completely naked, Xiao passed out beside you, just as naked as you were.
Your eyes relaxed however when your memories started to flood back to you what exactly had taken place last night, you chuckled softly and a smile crept onto your lips again. Your hand travelled to his face and gently stroked his cheek, before his piercing yellow eyes suddenly shot open. He flexed under your touch as if ready to attack but when seeing it was your touch on him he relaxed under you. "Morning Xiao..." You spoke softly to him a smile still present.
He softly scoffed sitting up himself and turning his face away from your hand, ah, so he was going to try go back to being like that now. It didn't really surprise you to be honest, in fact it's exactly how you expected it to be. You gently sighed to yourself as you bought your hand back to yourself, about to lift yourself up off the floor. You were stopped however by a hand gripping yours, it was Xiaos, you turned to face him and when you did he pulled your body over to him and your lips were met with his, again.
Your eyes closed instinctively as you lost yourself in his possessive and powerful kiss against your own lips. It felt so nice you didn't wanna resist. It was the only way he could tell you he loved you, and that he didn't regret last night. He can never find the words to speak his heart without making it sound horrible and harsh, so this was easier for him. When he pulled his lips away however, he rested his forehead against yours; both your eyes now staring into eachothers.
"I love you too Xiao." Is all you said back, and he flashed you a gentle small smile. "I see you two sorted out your relationship problems then?" A sudden voice reached you both and tore you both from your tranquility. Flicking both your heads to the entrance to the balcony you saw your friends from last night all stood there, smirks and smug smiles spread across each and everyone of their faces; just for the merit- they had been coming to check up on you and make sure you were actually still alive...
Your face went bright red however and you were completely lost for words, you were about to go crazy on all of them when you felt a sudden gust pick up behind you, the breeze felt extra freezing against your bare skin and created goosebumps, it then blew past you at such a blinding speed and waved around in circles at all your friends making them all stumble back down the stairs, tumbling, screaming and shouting ensued as they all hit the floor of the inside of the Inn. Xiao then stood up walking away from you to the entrance of back inside the Inn looking down at them all crossing his arms, how he was able to remain so... divine and intimidating while completely naked was beyond your understanding.
But he simply said "It's rude to intrude on a couples private moments, do it again and I'll not be so kind next time." And with that he turned back round and walked back over to you, his hands on his hips disapprovingly as he glanced down at you. "Tsk. Get up already, you're looking weak and it's shameful." You rolled your eyes, there he was again. You couldn't be bothered to make a fuss right now though, you began to lift up when you were then greeted to his hand again, your brow raised and you looked up to see him offering his help, albeit while facing away from you.
You accepted his hand with your own and you couldn't help the soft gentle smile that appeared on your lips again, he pulled you up effortlessly with another scoff but his actions were still gentle. When stood straight up he moved away to get dressed swiftly and you decided to follow his actions getting dressed yourself. The atmosphere with you both was different now, not a bad different however, just... different.
You didn't know what was going to happen with you both now, nor did you want too, all you knew was you'd both taken the next step and you love him even more for it, and whether or not he realised it, but he was just ever so slightly starting to get soft on you. All this as a result of you drunkenly slapping him? ... does he... like that type of thing? There was only one way to find out, and now... you had all the time in the world to test it... Oh boy, he really is in a long battle this time ain't he? And I don't think he wants to win this one this time.
AHAHAHA WOW. REALLY DID NOT MEAN FOR THIS TO BE SO DAMN LONG. I am really sorry if this got boring or something really i am but I just got way too sucked into it and by the time I realised how long it was I'd dug myself too deep in. So I had to finish it. I'm sorry if there are spelling mistakes or missing words even but I've spelt checked it so many times and can't find anymore errors with it that if I push anymore my brains gonna actually explode. I hope you guys enjoy this, aaAAAaAAaaaaaaAa. - Mod Diluc
This is a pretty hefty thing, so be prepared to read because this ended up at around 6 full pages of rambling + a few imagine-esque bits. I'll also be doing this for a few others in the future!
A to Z NSFW Headcanons â Xiao
Aftercare (What theyâre like after sex)
Heâs attentive, careful. Knowing that he can get carried away during sex, itâs important to take care of you. So after you both finish basking in the afterglow, bodies fatigued and covered in a thin layer of perspiration, Xiao will guide you into a comfortable position, then wipe away any remaining fluids smeared over your inner thighs. No need to worry about sensitivity, as well, his touch is light enough that thereâs not too much excess stimulation.
Along with this, he enjoys holding you or being heldâwhatever youâre in the mood for.
If heâs holding you, youâll be propped against his chest, one of his hands wrapped around your back. The strong beat of his heart in his chest is enough to lull you to sleep. If youâre holding him, heâll lay with his chest against your stomach, arms hugged around you while you lay on your back. Do as you pleaseâbrush your thumb against his cheek, run your fingers through his hairâŚas much as he would rather not, thereâs a few times that heâs fallen asleep from these moments.
Body part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partnerâs)
Xiaoâs favorite body part would be his hands. Spreading them to touch all of you, gripping your hipsâŚThe possibilities are endless and quite literally at the tip of his fingers.
His favorite parts of your body are many. Your forehead and collarboneâperfect for kisses or pressing his own to in those tender moments. The space between your shouldersâhe loves the way that they flex when you move beneath him. Your thighsâsoft, warmâŚ
Cum (Anything to do with cum basically⌠Iâm a disgusting person)
When he cums, itâs a good amount, just as the amount of precum that leaks from his tip when aroused, however his loads are a bit thinner. Not very, but also not thick. He doesnât have a preference of where to cum because just the idea of his cum being in or on you is highly arousing to him regardless.
Tastes a little bit salty with a very barely there sweetness, but otherwise not really bad or good.
As for himselfâŚhe doesnât really care about the taste. Heâd rather not, but heâs also not entirely against it.
Dirty Secret (Pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
The Wangshu Inn is high up compared to the surrounding plains and marsh. Itâs a lovely sightâŚthough it also ensures that no one can see the Yaksha tucked hidden away on the roof. Itâs not often that he indulges like this, his hand wrapped around his shaft and eyes fluttered closedânot when he has places to patrol and demons to slayâbut there are days when the rustling of leaves and busy chatter below are ample enough to cover up soft sighs of pleasure.
Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what theyâre doing?)
Xiao doesnât have much experience, or if he does, itâs been quite a bit. Forever loyal to his duty, thereâs little time that he can make for sex. But that doesnât mean heâs entirely clueless.
Heâs a quick learner, you need to be for his job. So you can be sure that after the first few times of fumbling and hesitation, heâll piece together what touches make you shake and cry out his name. Though he himself is impatient, if you show a little patience and guide him to what feels best the results will be quite the experience.
Favorite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)
Heâs a simple man. One of his favorite positions is taking you up against the wall with your legs wrapped snug around his waist, your back pressed against it. The other includes anything where he can rest his forehead against your collarbone or that lovely space between your shoulders.
Particularly, anything where he can see all of you, kiss youâŚbeing able to grip your thighs and spread your legs are a perk he appreciates. Thereâs just something about the mix of close, sweet intimacy mixed with the ability to thrust as deep as he pleases that gets him going.
Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)
Serious, for sure. There are plenty of other times that heâs fine with humoring any of your shenanigansâthe bedroom isnât one of them.
Anyway, if youâre able to joke around during sex, he figures that heâs not doing quite enough. As much as he loves your voice, heâd rather hear you moan and cry out his name than hear you make another joke (donât make that pun). However, once youâre both spent, feel free to be as silly as you please. Itâs then that heâs most relaxed and most likely to smile and snort at your jokes.
Hair (How well-groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)
NowâŚI donât think he has streaks of teal down there as amusing as thatâd be. But heâs pretty natural down there but kept neat. When you arenât particularly active and are a busy person, thereâs not really a need to trim and what not, especially when itâs already fine as is.
Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspectâŚ)
During sex, he likes romance, after all to be his significant other means that youâre a damn special person. Because Xiao puts a lot of emphasis on the need of trust for relationships, it only makes sense that with someone he trusts so much as youâŚheâll want to show you just how much he cares. Though he can be rough, thereâs many times where his touch is gentle and he whispers for you to relax.
He will hold you close while pressing kisses to your skin, taking care of you, so donât really be surprised if thereâs some body worship sprinkled in now and then.
Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
He doesnât masturbate often because he usually will ignore his urges (or just doesnât feel them often due to his avoidance of people and usual lack of partner), but when he does, he doesnât take his time. Again, Xiao is an impatient person and the rush of sudden desire drives him to chase after his high.
Not to mention that heâs particularly sensitive, so heâd rather not torture himself with teasing.
Kink (One or more of their kinks)
Cockwarming â Although Xiao does tend towards impatience, there are times where he likes to be in youâjust buried entirely without thrusting or grinding. He likes the feeling of having you so close to him and will murmur praise while you sit on his cock.
Overall, he does and doesnât love thisâŚpaired with exhibition, however, heâs a mess. If it werenât for the blush on his cheeks and his labored breathing, itâd be easy to get away with.
Dacryphilla â Not in a sadistic sense, but more playing back into the emphasis of trust. Crying is a very intimate, vulnerable gestureâyou wouldnât break down in front of strangers, after allâso that in mind, thereâs just something about the glossiness of your eyes right as tears begin to well up that gets him going. The raw emotion, the fact that youâre comfortable enough to be this vulnerable around him? Oh boy.
Anyway, should you cry during sex, heâll make sure that youâre alright, perhaps even kiss them away in a moment of tenderness.
Exhibition â This one is tricky. It takes quite a bit to convince him to try it out even though he already does show interest, but once he doesâŚheâs hooked. Of course, heâd rather not do anything in a populated area. Itâs more in places that are abandoned and deemed âsafeâ. After all, he doesnât actuallywant to be seen. The appeal comes more from the very slim possibility of someone passing byâthe risk, the thrill.
Praise â One kink that he has thatâs aimed both at giving and receiving! As your partner, he no doubt loves you very much. In the gentle touch of his hand to your cheek or the way that he holds you to his chest while whispering how well youâre doing, that you feel so good around himâŚyeah.
On the other hand, if heâs receiving, you can expect things to become much more sensual. Heâll take more time, slowing his thrusts and kisses though not losing any of the passion behind them. Xiao isnât really used to praise, so he might get a bit shy, but please donât stop because heâs weak for sincere praise. Hand it over.
Somnophilia â Definitely flirting with dubcon here, but this is entirely consensual. Again, another kink that plays into trust. The idea that youâd be more than willing to let him touch and take you while youâre asleep? Heâll take his time, careful to not wake you, your legs spread so he can lick, suck, and lap at your inner thighs and so very slowly bring you to completion as you peacefully rest. Usually, heâs satisfied with your soft moans, the way that your breath hitchesâŚ
But some nights he indulges more. the little colorful green chord tied to the headboard is all you need to do to let him know. Once in a blue moon on those nights, heâll shudder with a low, throaty moan, pressing himself into you and bottoming out after an excruciatingly long few minutes of gradually sinking in inch-by-inch.
The way your lips part in a sigh and how you flutter around his cock is heavenâitâs these moments that his patience is tested and he really needs to reel in his desire.
He does tend to gently wake you when heâs close, watching the way you sleepily blink at him and take the time to process how his cock drags against your walls. The realization takes some time to hit, but when you moan his name and clench around him, heâll finally spill into you with a shaky sigh.
Location (Favorite places to do the do)
Privacy is a big thing for him, so whether itâs in the bedroom or outside, it needs to be secure and safe. This is mainly for any public activitiesâheâll make sure to spend extra time on his daily and nightly patrols to really make sure that no one comes around to this area, that there arenât any demons lingering.
Itâs a lengthy process, but something that heâs more than willing to spend the time doing to ensure your safety (and keep his pride intact).
Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)
Praise and teasing are the top motivators. But theyâre also entirely opposite in what will result-
Gentle, slow, sensual comes from praise. Heâs softer and takes more time because the intimacy is higher.
Teasing on the other hand plays with his temper. If you tease him, itâs often that he loses patience. So if thatâs what you decide on, be prepared to be met with a passion that steals your breath away.
NO (Something they wouldnât do, turn offs)
Thereâs a lot that he isnât too keen on, but the one thing that definitely is a hard no is bondage.
I think itâs self-explanatory, but all those years spent under the whim of that god has taken its toll. Needless to say, whether it is giving or receiving, donât expect him to budge on this. The only thing remotely close that heâd be alright with would be holding your wrists in his hands, but even then heâd rather intertwine your fingers together.
Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)
He prefers to give. Mainly, Xiao wants to be able to taste you and feel the way that your thighs clench around his head when he eats you out or takes you into his mouth. While his skill isnât much, he will make up for it by really paying attention to what you like.
Itâs a bit of a coinflip should he be on the receiving end because heâs so sensitive. Depending on whoâs in control, he will either be entirely at your mercy or youâll have a very very sore jaw. (Donât worry, heâll brew some warm ginger honey tea for you)
Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)
Xiao will usually tend towards slow and sensual. Despite his countenance, heâs a gentle person and a little old fashioned. In short, his pace is more around lovemaking than anythingâ but there are always exceptions to this!
Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)
In terms of sex, heâs mostly at the whim of his s/o. If they so happen to be in the mood, heâs quick to get worked up. Want something fast? Once heâs a bit more experienced with your body, just give him enough time and youâll be crying out his name whether it be through his tongue, fingers, or cock.
Again, he does prefer taking his time, but heâs not against quickies.
Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)
Apart from his exhibition kink, Xiao doesnât really like taking risks. Risks are uncomfortable (unless theyâre familiar if that makes sense) so heâd rather not mix that in with pleasure.
Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they lastâŚ)
Xiao can last a while in the sense of stamina. Heâs used to being able to go for incredibly long lengths of time with little to no rest. However, how long each round lasts varies based on how aroused he is and how long itâs been since he last came. Safe to say that no matter what, youâll both be left satisfied by the time youâre done.
Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
He doesnât use nor own toys. Any of those would have to be introduced by his s/o, though that doesnât guarantee that theyâll be used.
Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Heâs not really into teasing, and if he does tease it isnât long or drawn out. Xiao would rather just give the pleasure than deny or teaseâŚunless his s/o likes it. Itâd have to be explained a bit, but then heâll tease based off what you seem to like. In short, he seldom teases.
With him being on the receiving end of the teasing, heâll quickly get irked by it, so try to keep the teasing to a minimum.
Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)
Xiaoâs quiet during sex. Occasionally, heâll moan or growl, but more often than not, the most noise heâll make consists of breathy sighs.
Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)
Despite his dominant streak, Xiaoâs a switch. Whether on top or not, he doesnât mind and will trust his s/o will take care of him as he does for them when he subs. Heâll also be more vocal when heâs subbing because thereâs more attention put on him.
X-Ray (Letâs see whatâs going on in those pants, picture, or words)
I included a visual in this post, but weâll go in a bit more here hehe. First off, what was covered:
Heâs uncut, roughly about the same size whether hard or not with veins running up along the shaft. Though heâs pretty girthy, his length is average at around 5 â 5.5 inches. When aroused, it hangs down.
Itâs pretty sensitive with no particular area being more sensitive partly because of the lack of sexual activity heâs experienced over the 2000+ years heâs lived and will twitch/jump when stimulated (like dragging your tongue up along the more prominent veins). Another thing thatâs sensitive is the seam along his balls (thereâs gotta be a better word for balls-).
If you want to catch him off guard and draw out a low moan, make sure to give those attention.
Because he is thick, you'll get that very full feeling and a bit of discomfort if you go too fast which is also why he does like to go a bit slower.
Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)
He actually has a pretty high sex drive but elects to ignore it. This is also why he can get in the mood quick and doesnât really mind if his s/o is worked up often.
ZZZ (⌠how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Adepti, as Xiao has pointed out, donât need to sleep. But that also doesnât stop him from succumbing to the pleasant warmth and fatigue after sex. Heâll only let himself doze off when heâs sure that youâre taken care of and youâre both cleaned up properly.
Once he does lay down besides youâin your arms, or with you in hisâheâll quickly fall asleep.
A Xiao x fem reader where he's completely inexperienced s3xually so when he starts to get urges he has no idea what they are. He tries to keep them to himself until something in him snaps...you can decide where to go with that (consensual ofc!)
a/n: hi anon! officially finished my first year of uni so im super glad i can dedicate more time to writing this summer~ hope you enjoy :)
xiao doesnât quite grasp the concept of sexual pleasure. heâs never had a need for it, considering the past few thousand years of his life have been dedicated to exterminating evil and coping with the subsequent karmic debt from having taken so many lives
he has never had the urge, nor ever considered the idea, of being intimate with someone. xiao wasnât completely unaware of the existence of sexual intercourse, but it never seemed to be something for someone like him.
that is, until you came crashing into his life.
at first, his thoughts towards you were purely of admiration.
the way you carried yourself, confident about every inch of physical matter you carry, and every piece of knowledge you possess. the way you talked to xiao as an equal, despite your magnificence, never condescending and always interested in what he had to say. he realized, this is what it feels like to be cared about.
over time, those feelings turned more intense, something xiao couldnt quite explain because he had never felt it before. the giddiness that made his voice tremble and eyes dart whenever you looked at him, your gaze penetrating into his soul. the constant urge to know what you were doing and where you were, so he could find a way to somehow make himself useful to you.
it was all very odd to xiao. for a while he thought he had fallen ill, or perhaps was falling into a bout of hysteria. caught at a dead end, xiao decided to consult liyueâs large collection of ancient and contemporary texts, hoping to find an answer.
perusing through rows upon rows of books, xiao stumbled upon a section of âforbiddenâ texts. his curiosity getting the best of him, xiao made sure to check that nobody was in his surroundings, and flipped open one of the books.
xiao was met with pages upon pages of lewd illustrations, men copulating with women in various, unsightly positions, details more explicit by the page. this quenched some horrid sense of curiosity in xiao... so this is what intercourse is like, he thought to himself.
flipping further, he stumbled upon an image of a man, half-disrobed, his hand appearing to be gripping his penis in what be some sort of slef-pleasuring act. was this... what xiao was looking for? perhaps the remedy to his uneasy mind was to touch himself in this way.
making his way back to his living quarters, xiao ruminated on what he had just learned. there must be something to this act called âmasturbationâ, he supposed. the way he had been thinking about you lately was interfering with his duties, and he wanted to be rid of such impure thoughts. he couldnât afford to be thinking about the way you leaned in to him, breasts brushing against his shoulder as you whispered a joke into his ear. xiao had more pressing matters to be concerned with, instead of daydreaming about what it must be like to feel your body against his, his cock grinding against your most private parts, the two of you drowning in each otherâs scents. no, that would not do.
reaching the entrance of the commune he shared with you and various other adepti, xiao noticed you in the courtyard, doing some work in the garden. you had on a light colored, silken robe, sleeves rolled up as you were pruning the bushes by the pond. the way you were bent over made the hem of your dress ride up along your leg, revealing the supple skin of your untouched inner thigh. xiaoâs throat felt awfully dry.
noticing his presence, you stood up to greet him, flashing him a gentle smile, basket tucked under your arm. to xiaoâs further dismay, when you stood up, the collar of your working dress hung so low over your chest that much of your cleavage was revealed and left little to the imagination. he couldnât take it anymoreâxiao could already sense a heavy sensation growing between his legs. without further acknowledgment, xiao sped across the courtyard and directly into his quarters, where he lived, slept, and ate. panting against the door, xiao loosened the buckled on his trousers. it was getting much too hot for comfort.
without much ceremony, he laid himself upon his modest bed, and pulled his pants further down. xiao could feel his hard cock straining against his underwear, unlike any sensation he had ever experienced before. as he freed himself from the constraints of his pants, xiaoâs mind was only on youâthe way your breasts sat so lovely on your chest, how delicate and meldable your thighs looked. oh how he longed to feel simply your lips against his, your ass in his hands, as you rode his cock as if the world were going to end.
taking his cock in one hand, xiao gulped, and began stroking himself. he started lightly, with a loose fist around the base of his straining, pink cock. even the light touch caused him to shiver violently with pleasure. gripping himself tighter, he imagined his fist to be your pretty, tight little cunt enveloping his cock, desperate for you to take him in and take care of him the way you always did.
faster and faster he pumped, abundant precome now leaking out of his flushed slit. little whimpers and moans began to slip past xiaoâs blushing lips, sounds that sounded awfully like your name. his dripping cock made his hand rub against himself even faster and wetter, just like how he imagined your soft cunny would have felt like.
so good to him, you were, so good that xiao wanted more. more than just kindness and compassion, he wanted your lust. he wanted his cock buried so deep inside you that your liquids would mix together as one as he released himself inside if you. hotter and hotter, xiao became, and the pressure in his groin grew even more tight that he wondered if he was going to pass out. he couldnât even hear how loud his moans were growing, the wails of â[y/n]...[y/n]!â bouncing off the walls of xiaoâs bedroom. he wondered if the tightness would ever go awayâall he could seem to feel was the phantom tightness of your pussy on his poor little cock. impatiently pumping harder and faster, desperate for release, xiao moaned your name unabashedly louder than ever. he needed youâhe needed to be in you so badly, or he might die. archons, he needed you so-
âxiao?â, a little voice spoke. you were standing there in his doorway, looking at him strewn over the bed. you must have heard his calls for your name from the courtyard through the thin paper doors and come looking.
xiao was frozen. he jumped up from where he was, trying to salvage what was clearly an incriminating scene. âwait, i can explain,â he stumbled, pulling up his pants, unable to meet your gaze. it was all over now, wasnât it. you would never want to associate with him again, the pervert, jacking off with little to no care for who would hear, crying out your name kf all thingsâ
âno wait, xiao!â you interrupted his thoughts. your eyes looked at the yaksha with sincerity, and something else. intrigue, perhaps. âwell... it looks like you might need a hand.â

summary xiao realizes heâs in love with you
pairing xiao x gn!reader
warnings brief mention of making love (still minor friendly!)
a/n my first ever fic :o iâm quite nervous putting this out so any feedback is appreciated :3 leave a like/reblog/follow if you enjoyed it !! muah muah <33333
requests are open // make sure you smell the roses on your way out
xiao fell for you in the way leaves fall from trees in autumn. he fluttered hesitantly through the winds of your love, not quite ready to reach the ground. with every fall deeper, he would pull back a little higher. he was resistant, but with a final nudge of the wind, he allowed himself to be enveloped in the open arms of your love.
xiao leaned his elbows against the railing of the balcony, looking out at dihua marsh. it was an unusually idle day for him and he spent most of his hours on the rooftop of the wangshu inn, keeping watch of liyue for as far as his eyes could see. he would have most likely stayed up there through the night, if he hadnât heard your voice saying farewell to verr. you strolled out of the inn just past midnight, weaponless, and carrying a jar in your hand.
xiao wasnât sure what you were up to; you rarely ever leave the inn after dark, but if you do, you always ask him to come with you. he thought about whether he should appear in front of you and confront you about where you were going, or if he should avoid your attention and silently follow you, keeping an eye out for anything that may attack you.
unsurprisingly, he chose the latter, and appeared a bit behind you, footsteps soundless as he followed in your path.
some time had passed before you reached wuwang hill, the plain grasslands of dihua marsh turning into mountainous forests. it was getting harder for xiao to see you through the thick of the trees and could only rely the ruffling of foliage beneath your feet to guide him.
what are you planning on doing so far from the inn this late at night?
âlooks like i have a stalker.â you stopped in your tracks as you heard a loud snap of twigs come from behind you. you had noticed someone following you from the inn, but you couldnât explain how you knew it was xiao. perhaps it was the way you felt safe, instead of vulnerable, âyâknow, for an adeptus, you arenât really that great at being inconspicuous.â you turned around and strode over to him, a cheeky grin adorning your lips.
your statement left xiao dumbfounded, how had you known it was him that was following you? an awkward silence followed as he racked his mind for words to say, âuhâŚâ, he coughed, regaining his composure, "evil beings lurk beneath the shadows in the night⌠i saw you leave the inn with nothing but an empty jar. what if something attacked you? where is your weapon?â
âaw, does someone care for me?â you tilted your head and pouted playfully, earning a scoff and eye-roll from xiao.
âhumans⌠always so unprepared. what are you doing out this late anyway? itâs not safe.â
âwell, iâm safe now that my vigilant yaksha is here to keep me from harmâs way!â xiaoâs cheeks flushed pink upon hearing you refer to him as âyoursâ, and you couldnât help but giggle at his atypical reaction, âi was just going to collect some crystalflies. i want to use their cores to make a gift! but⌠iâm having a hard time finding any. do you know of any good spots?â
you looked up at xiao to find him staring at you with his usual morose eyes. behind this facade, though, was him wishing that he could gaze at you with a soft smile.
xiao didnât quite understand the concept of a "giftâ, but there was something so pure about you wanting to make one from natureâs bounty, when you could have just purchased one from a vendor that made the empty void in his soul fill with warmth.
âfollow me. i know a place not too far from here.â xiao shrugged aside his feelings and stepped in front of you, heading west. you walked beside him, struggling to keep up. even though he wasnât tall and didnât have the longest legs, his strides were long and taken with purpose, compared to your clumsy and excitable ones.
you talked xiaoâs ear off on the walk there, topics of your mainly one-sided discussion ranging from your daily activities to silly anecdotes to telling him about all the lovely people you met on your adventures. xiao was a man of few words, but he still took great interest in all you had to say, even if the look on his face said otherwise.
his steps came to a slow as he stopped in front of a tunnel, flashes of yellow light coming from within. he led you through it and stopped at the end of the tunnel, observing your face to try to decipher your reaction to the sight in front of you.
at the end of the tunnel was a giant cavern. a dirt path led you to the center of it, where a small pond coloured the same teal that xiaoâs hair wore was illuminated by moonlight shining through a hole in the top of the cave. glaze lillies sat near the edge of the water, gently swaying to the music of the wind that the tunnel carried. baby sandbearer trees scattered the cavern, some of their branches overlapping to make shapes that almost resembled hearts. the one thing that caught your attention, though, were the hundreds of geo crystalflies that fluttered around the cavern. you hadnât seen this many in one place in your years of living.
âwow⌠there are so many!â you walked further into the cavern, spinning around to take in as much of the beautiful scenery in front of you as you could. xiao wasnât sure if you would like it here, but let out a relieved sigh upon seeing the awe on your face. almost immediately, though, he let out a quiet growl, reprimanding himself for how much he cared about your feelings.
xiao sighed again, this time out of heartache, and sat back against a rock as he waited for you to finish what you came here for. he noticed you amble over to a tree and reach out your hand to press it against its trunk. he observed the way you peacefully smiled, and the way you almost immediately became distracted as a stray crystalfly flew down onto your nose.
you giggled at how its wings tickled your skin, and you turned to xiao and whispered so as not to scare the crystalfly off of you, âlook! i think it likes me.â you couldnât see xiao through the bright glow radiating off the crystalfly, but a rare small smile was worn on his lips.
your laugh was his favourite sound. it gave him hope; hope that maybe, one day, he can have nice things; nice things like you. every time he heard your laugh, xiao would feel the empty void dissipate.
but just as quick as his smile appeared on his face, it disappeared.
your laugh was also the sound he hated the most. it scared him. he couldnât fall in love; he couldnât succumb to these lowly human emotions. he couldnât let you know how he feels. he couldnât let you get too close to him, or else all that you would receive in return is a world full of sorrow and regret.
âlooks like i have enough!â xiao was pulled out of his thoughts as you approached him, your once empty jar half-filled with crystalflies, "now all i gotta do is head to liyue tomorrow to get the cores extracted, and then i can make my gift!â
âliyue? why must you go to liyue?â xiaoâs voice came out bitter and demanding.
âoh, i-uh⌠i canât extract the cores, but i have a friend there who can.â
he let out an annoyed grunt â⌠youâre going to go all the way to liyue just to extract the cores of ten crystalflies?â
âi mean, itâs not that far, if i leave early in the morning, iâll be back in time to meet-â you were cut off by xiao taking the jar out of your hands. watching his movements in curiosity, you observed as he removed the lid and replaced the opening with his palm. a flash of turquoise light was emitted, and your eyes widened upon seeing that the crystalflies in the jar were now replaced with their crystal cores.
âthank you⌠you didnât have to do that, yâknow.â you delicately took the jar from him, sending him a soft smile as you felt your heart swell at his generosity.
âitâs fine. your trip to liyue would have been redundant.â
âwell, now i can get started on my gift! do you mind waiting for me? iâll only be a bit!â you pouted and sent him your best pleading look.
xiao almost choked on his breath upon looking at you. your cute pout, slightly puffed out cheeks, and wide eyes made something snap in his stomach, and he all of a sudden started to feel very hot, ââŚalright. uh- make it quick.â
you eagerly nodded and ran off to the other end of the cavern, picking glaze lillies and long strands of silvergrass, finally plopping down at the edge of the pond a few minutes later, going to work on your gift.
xiao took a seat again on a rock, wiping a stray drop of sweat from his forehead. heâs felt a plethora of ways for you: when you call his name, his chest flutters; when your hand touches his, a jolt of electricity courses through him, but never has he felt so flushed to the point where he started sweating. xiao mentally cursed you for breaking his walls down like this, for making him so vulnerable to the human experience. he both loved and hated you for it.
âitâs done!â
âhmm?â xiao averted his gaze from the ground to you, who skipped up to him, hands hiding something behind your back.
"iâm done making my gift. i-uh⌠actually, i made it for you⌠itâs a token of my appreciation.â
xiao raised his brows in surprise, âfor me?â
âyeah, um⌠itâs been over two years since iâve met you and iâve never gifted you anything⌠youâre always looking out for me and making sure iâm safe⌠no oneâs ever done that for me, so⌠um⌠i know youâre just doing your job, but it really does mean a lot to- ah,â your voice cracked as you felt an unexpected wave of emotions overtake you, âsorry, i donât know why iâm tearing up⌠this is so silly,â you pressed the pads of your fingers in the corners of your eyes to prevent the tears from spilling out onto your cheeks, âi guess what iâm trying to say is that you mean a lot to me. more than you know⌠so this is my way of saying thank you,â you let out a nervous laugh and pulled your gift out from behind your back, sticking it out for xiao to see, âitâs not much but⌠travelling doesnât pay very well.â
his gaze softened as he ran his fingers over it. you had made him a crystal core crown, and a beautiful one at that. crystal cores were wound with glaze lillies and kept together by thick braided strands of slivergrass. your thoughtfulness in crafting this gift for him made the fluttering in his chest travel down to his knees.
you examined xiaoâs face, trying to decode his reaction, â⌠dâyou like it?â
âyes. thank you, (y/n). it eases me knowing that you feel safe under my watch. i donât think i quite understand the concept of a gift, but, regardless⌠thank you.â his gaze shifted from the crown to your face, and he sent you a warm smile.
you had never seen xiao smile. it made you want to tease him for it, but you held off, not wanting to ruin the moment. you could always tease him about it later. his change in demeanour, however, evoked a new-found confidence in you, âcan i put it on you?â
xiao hesitated in his response. he so badly wanted to say yes, but ultimately couldnât find his voice and resorted to nodding.
you anxiously bit your lip and gently placed the crown on xiaoâs head, which was tilted downward from embarrassment. his jaw clenched upon feeling your fingers skim through his tresses, the intimacy of the moment overtaking his usual sullenness.
stepping away from xiao, you admired how angelic he looked. the transparency of the crystal cores were illuminated by the moonlight with shades of teal. to say you had a crush on xiao was an understatement. the love you felt for him was sometimes almost too painful to endure, with the way he would push you away every time you got too close.
â⌠handsomeâŚâ the word left your lips as barely more than a whisper, but still loud enough for xiao to hear.
he snapped his head up to face you, the red that rose on his cheeks stopping halfway before other thoughts intruded his flustered ones.
you were standing directly under the moon, her light shining down on your face. it lit up your eyes a few shades lighter than they usually were and xiao couldâve sworn he saw hearts by your pupils. his gaze flitted between your eyes and your lips, which appeared to be wet and were slightly parted. xiao didnât know what beauty looked like on a human, but seeing you like this gave him a definitive answer.
heâs never felt the need to kiss someone before, even you, but the way you looked under the moonlight lit a fire in his stomach like never before.
âxiaoâŚâ his heart fluttered upon hearing how softly you called his name. it drove him insane, âcan i kiss you?â
the fluttering in his chest became loud thumps, but in the heat of it all, his body had lost control of his mind for the first time as he slowly nodded. his face inched closer to yours, the demon in his mind threatening him to stop, screaming all the horrible things that would happen if he gave in to these primal human urges. you reciprocated, flitting your gaze between his eyes and lips, instinctively resting your hand on his chest as you face came mere inches from his.
xiao didnât expect the sudden contact, and snapped his head down to look at his chest as he immediately felt a warmth radiate inside himself from your soft touch. it was overbearing; his heart was pounding and on fire, and he couldnât help but feel repulsed by it. he staggered away from you, feeling faint, and rested his head on the tree behind him, clutching at the empty spot on his chest where your hand just laid, âwhat is this⌠feeling?â he took sharp breaths to find his composure.
your eyes scrunched with concern as you stepped over to xiao, refraining from touching him to avoid any further unwanted reactions, âi think you knowâŚâ
that he did. xiao knew well what he was feeling was love, but never has he felt it be so overwhelming. he couldnât bring himself to accept it. he couldnât feel love, joy, happiness; especially after all heâs done, âno⌠it canât beâŚâ
âxiao-â
âstop-â
âplease, donât push me away!â
âyouâll get hurt if you get any closer to me!â xiao shook his head frantically and stumbled over to the entrance of the cavern, ready to leave.
you walked beside him, trying to get him to look at you, âi have loved you ever since iâve known you, xiao. i canât help my feelings for you- and i try to show them, but when i get close, you shut me out; time after time. i know why you push me away, and you donât mean to hurt me, but you do!â your cheeks were now stained with tears, and xiao couldnât bring himself to look at you, knowing he would break, "it hurts loving you when i know- i just know you feel the same way for me as i do you⌠you think you donât deserve love; you donât deserve happiness, but i-â
âi-i canât! i canât let myself submit to my feelings for you⌠iâll taint you!â he stopped in his tracks and buried his face in his palms, his voice filled with anguish.
âxiao⌠please, let me love you. i want to to show you a world where you can be happy, where you donât have to feel the burdens of your debt⌠i want you to experience life like humans do. i want to make new foods for you to try, i want to travel with you and show you all my favourite places, i want to cry with you, i want to laugh with you, i want to make love to you. please⌠open yourself up to me.â you took a step closer to xiao, your eyes silently pleading him to look at you.
he seemed to have heard your prayer, as he let out a distressed sigh and shifted his gaze from the ground to your face. he felt his heart sink as he saw your tear-stained cheeks and glassy eyes. the last thing he ever wanted to do was bring you sadness. the monsters within him were going to war, one telling him to forget about you, to disappear, to never come in contact with you; the other telling him to accept his feelings towards you, that the sorrow he would feel if he didnât would be worse than the pain his karmic debt brought him.
a moment of silence passed between you as he tried quieting his mind. he so badly wanted to touch you, to hug you, to kiss you, to tell you that he loved you.
and it was like you read his mind. the silence was unbearable for you, and you blurted out three words before you could even think about your actions, âi love you.â
xiao fell for you in the way leaves fall from trees in autumn. he fluttered hesitantly through the winds of your love, not quite ready to reach the ground. with every fall deeper, he would pull back a little higher. he was resistant, but with a final nudge of the wind, he allowed himself to be enveloped in the open arms of your love.
his breath picked up as he felt the throbbing in his chest get heavier and louder. how could he deny you; the first person heâs loved. the only person he will ever love.
before xiao could think, his mind lost control of his body as he hastily closed the gap between your lips and pulled you flush against his chest, holding you like you were his lifeline. you kissed him back with equal fervour, hands travelling up to his scalp.
if xiao was a leaf falling from a tree, then now was when he finally hit the ground. he felt a release from his troubled thoughts as his mind was consumed by images of you; of kissing you, of loving you. he felt liberated and freer than ever before.
oh yes, he could get used to this.
xiao used all of his willpower to detach his lips from yours as he gripped your shoulders to look into your twinkling eyes. he took in a sharp breath, preparing himself to finally say the three words heâs been shoving deeper into the once empty void that filled his heart, âi love you.â
if you think this isnât an appropriate response to hearing your partnerâs shawarma fell apart then you donât know how important a good shawarma can be
I think some people fail to realize that men can be sexually assaulted, too, and not just by other men. This girl shoves him against the wall and slaps him three fucking times when he pushes her away. Heck, he has to push her away twice before she backs off for a moment. Then she goes right back to kissing him.
If the genders were reversed, everyone on this site would be flipping a shit. And if anyone dares to tell me that itâs different when a girl does it to a guy, I will personally write you a three-page essay on why it is still not okay.
If you see this post then you need to STOP SCROLLING because you can look at the cute cat pictures later. REBLOG and spread the word because this is VERY IMPORTANT. Everyone should be aware that forcing someone and making them do things without their consent is wrong regardless of their gender.
This is so fucking important. It doesnât matter what the gender is, anyone can be abused/sexually assaulted and anyone can be the abuser/assaulter. This girl is so fucking wrong for hitting and pushing him and just straight up continue kissing him when heâs clearly showing he doesnât want to.
It shouldnât matter what your gender is, sexual assault is sexual assault and it should be taken seriously. Men need to be believed because telling them that theyâre âluckyâ is only going to further confuse/irritate them and they deserve to be heard.
Remember that the true definition of sexual abuse isnât âa man forcing himself on a womanâ itâs âsomeone forcing themselves on somebody elseâ which is basically just me saying WOMEN CAN BE ABUSERS AND MEN CAN BE VICTIMS OF ABUSE AND IF YOU DONâT BELIEVE THAT THEN PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET HELP BECAUSE YOUâRE FUCKED UP

lumine: tells people LOUDLY if their makeup is smudged so everyone nearby hears and looks

I had a lot of fun with this one. Did a mix of headcanon and typical prose. I hope you like it and thank you for the request!
Zhongli may not be as perceptive of human emotions as he would like to be, but he does recognize that something is going on with Xiao, especially with the way the adeptus acts around you.Â
Itâs subtle, and it took a lot of months to get to this point, but Zhongli is certain that Xiao likes you a lot more than he is letting on.Â
That isnât really surprising, since Xiao isnât exactly saying anything about feelings he may or may not have toward you.Â
Itâs all in the way heâs acting. When Zhongli first introduced the two of you, Xiao was stiff and awkward. Now, while the stiffness hasnât completely vanished, he does seem more relaxed. He actually talks to you now, even though his conversational skills with humans still leave a lot to be desired.Â
Zhongli even catches Xiao staring at you from time to time, far more than he ever had before. And he certainly seems more protective than he once was, always looming over you during your time at the inn and glaring down anyone that isnât Zhongli.Â
diluc: the stuck-up duke you're engaged to. incredibly rich and you're basically sold to be his wife by your parents who claim âthey only want the best for you.â which, apparently, equals to this seemingly perfect man with handsome features and an endless amount of mora. however, as flawless he may be on the surface, you find out he's just a very negligent fiance who thinks buying you all the dresses and jewels in the kingdom is enough to make you happy. he's stiff and cold, shutting you out of his life; telling you his problems didn't concern you. but maybe... maybe he did that because he didn't want to trouble you. maybe he cares about you to an extent. he makes an effort to join you for dinner, no matter how busy he is, and his gifts are sometimes thoughtful, not just expensive. he's clumsy at flattery, but you appreciate the sentiment. (and maybe â just maybe â you could find happiness with him.)
kaeya: the step-brother of your fiance. you've always thought he was strange. his gaze on you lingered, and he stares at you far too often to be considered appropriate for a mere (soon to be) brother-in-law. his smiles are suggestive, and quite unsettling. but you find out he's kind, just a bit mysterious. he keeps you company when diluc can't make it into dinner, and he accompanies you around town in his brother's stead if he was too busy to come with you himself. he's nothing but a gentleman, friendly and approachable, but you both know there's a distance he can't cross. (and yet he longs to.)
childe: a smug thief you caught stealing one of diluc's treasures. before you can scream or call for help, he shushes you, and he slips away from the manor without managing to steal anything. it's a victory on your part, but he's a sneaky rat â he begins to visit you occasionally, just to rile you up for fun. you don't know how he does it, but he climbs through the balcony in your room, hiding in the shadows of the night to not let any of the servants see him. you're unamused by the blatant trespassing, but you can't deny he's entertaining to talk to. for a scummy thief, he sure does seem to love his family a lot. you can tell that much, from the voice he uses when he speaks of his siblings. (he sounds like that when he talks about you too, you know. you just never notice.) he gives you a ring one day â something he didn't steal for once. it's from his mother, he says. she told him to give it to the person he wanted to marry. he confesses he doesn't care about any of the treasure lurking within diluc's home anymore. because out of everything, he only wants to steal you away.
zhongli: your first love. he's an unassuming baron with not a lot of influence, but there's something powerful residing in his eyes, glowing amber even in the dimmest of light. he's kingly, his elegant nature befitting of an emperor sitting on a golden throne, and yet he's as humble as a commoner, with no regards to his overflowing wealth. there's something special about the way he snakes his hand around your waist when you take the chance to dance with him at a ball, supposedly for obligatory purposes, but you lose yourself in his gaze, the color of honey staring deeply into you lighting your cheeks red. when he takes your hand in his, you feel his warmth through his glove (and idly, you wonder what it would be like if his gloves weren't in the way). he led you to the floor, twirling and spinning, and he's the perfect partner; he's as gentle as a passing wind, but his searing touch lingers, when the song comes to a close and he releases you. then your eyes travel to his left hand, an engagement ring adorning his finger, and your heart crumbles into a million pieces.
albedo: a renowned mage known for his genius in the entire continent. magical powers aren't very common, thus mages are normally held in high regard, but he's even idolized by fellow mages. he was adept with his powers from a young age, but he doesn't see himself as anyone special. you meet him as a child when you both attended a boring ball, and since you were both children seeking some entertainment in this formal arrangement mainly utilized by adults, you both ditched the ballroom and went off somewhere quiet so albedo could show you some âparty tricksâ. he became your usual playmate from there on, and he's essentially your childhood friend. he does the meanest pranks (since he's a mage, he can easily turn your hair color into a bright green or temporarily turn you into a frog), but he's very nice when it counts. he gives you healing potions when you fall ill, and he casts a protection charm in every accessory he gifts you on your birthday. he's particularly interested in the study of dragons, despite dragons basically being a myth in your continent's fairy tales, and everyone thinks he's delusional for believing in them but you support him in his studies. you're naturally curious in what he does as a mage, and he's happy about that, however he is unamused when you jokingly ask him to make you a love potion to give to zhongli. (in retaliation, the very next day, he shows up in your room as a frog, claiming he had an âaccidentâ while he was making a potion, thus turning himself into an amphibian. apparently, the only cure for it was... a kiss? what? didn't he make you an actual remedy when you were the one turned into a frog five years ago?)
venti: a whimsical bard you happened to come across with when you snuck out of your home as a rebellious teenager. you were immature then, and a bit adventurous, and you wanted to see how commoners lived their life. you went out with simple clothes, with a cloak covering your facial features to hide your true identity, but some brute thieves noticed your expensive-looking wallet despite your efforts and immediately took the chance to rob you. then suddenly, a lithe boy jumps from a roof, distracts the men, and grabs your hand to lead you away from the chaos. he's light on his feet, full of bubbly energy, and although you were ready to compensate him for his help with whatever amount of money he could possibly ask for, he only requested for a single drink in a nearby tavern. he is... rather odd. he successfully identified your real title, but he didn't hand you off to palace guards right away to have you escorted back to your estate. no doubt having done so would earn him a great sum, because your parents had put a bounty over your head. instead, he offers to show you around town, plays you a song with his lyre, and introduces you to his friends. yes, he's certainly a strange fellow... but it's not just his behavior that's weird. his way of speaking is too eloquent for a commonner, and he knows too much about the officials governing the kingdom. his songs are always cryptic, insinuating a deeper meaning to his lyrics, and his eyes, though holding a childish twinkle, had a knowing gleam. and to top it all off, he introduced you to his âbest friendâ â the mythical dragon dvalin himself?! (it's somewhat underwhelming to find out he's the long lost prince of the kingdom right after you saw such a large creature hiding among the mountains.)
xiao: your ever so loyal knight. as a child, he lived in the slums; a part of the kingdom everyone tended to avoid from fear. your father took pity on xiao when he found him struggling to survive and brought him back home to take care of him, planning to assign him as your personal knight once he was given proper training. xiao was surely worth pitying when you first laid your eyes on him â downcast eyes, sooty face, torn clothing with muddy shoes, and lacking any personal belongings. however, after he'd taken a nice bath, you learned he was quite pretty, with youthful features certain to turn handsome as he grew up. his eyes were an enchanting gold, skin as soft as velvet, and his hair was shiny and silky, though it was unfortunate he shied away whenever you tried to take a closer look. he was surprisingly meek, but you knew better than that. (after all, if he survived in the slums all by himself, you didn't doubt his capability to murder a man with his bare hands.) he was incredibly distant with you, but you didn't give up your attempts to befriend him. you invite him to go to the library to read storybooks together, just to see a twinkle of innocence light up his lifeless eyes. you dismiss his panicked refusal when you set up garden picnics especially for him, because he may pretend like he doesn't want to eat anything, but you can clearly see him eyeing that plate of almond tofu. soon enough, he grows fond of you, and he protects you not only because of his job, but also because you're someone precious to him.
as your knight, and by extension, your dearest friend, he is tasked to watch over you.
so he watches from the sidelines as you befriend another young boy â a mage known as albedo â and gazes in envy as albedo converses with you casually, able to stand on even ground with you. how he wished he could do the same.
he watches as you sneak out from your window to wander around the kingdom without permission, panic settling his nerves when you nearly injured yourself in doing so, but he doesn't stop you from escaping home, because he wanted you to have a taste of freedom. he regrets his decision when you come back home telling about your newest friend, venti.
he watches the exact moment when you fall in love with zhongli, putty in the older man's hands as he twirls you around the ballroom, and xiao could only look at you from a distance, sourness rising from the back of his throat. your heart wasn't the only one that shattered that day.
he watches as you sit across from diluc in the dinner table every night, eyeing the engagement ring on your finger illuminated by the chandelier hanging overhead, and remains silent even when your chatter starts to fill the air. he longs to take it off of you.
he watches, with a sense of empathy, when kaeya glances at you with a gaze too fond, in times you can't notice. you overlook it, as always, because that's how you've always been, unaware of the effect you have on other people. he's glad you were oblivious, sometimes.
he watches as you interact with that good-for-nothing thief every late evening, standing guard by the door in case childe tried to do anything. if he ever did, xiao wouldn't hesitate to slit his throat, because anyone who'd ever dare to hurt you will die by his hand. but childe doesn't do anything, so he stays put, with gritted teeth while that rascal is shamelessly flirting with you again.
xiao watches. he only watches. because he has no right to interfere. he's only a lowly knight, at most, your friend, but it's okay. it's okay because you can smile, even if it's not because of him. that's all that matters.
if you don't wanna suffer more, don't read. but in the case you do... proceed. here's some few angst points :'>
diluc: you're starting to get closer to one another, that he thinks he may actually fall for you. you've even started sleeping in the same bed at night, when you used to blatantly avoid him every time you caught sight of him â that's certainly good progress, isn't it? he thought so too, until he heard you mumble a name in your sleep. and it isn't his. (âzhongli...?â diluc repeats in disbelief.)
kaeya: ah, it's so late at night, and yet he finds you waiting on the front porch again... waiting for a fiance who doesn't want to come home. he sighs and lifts you in a princess carry, wondering why you would even bother to try getting along with his knucklehead of a brother. he brings you to your room, gently laying you down on your bed, and â in a moment of temptation â he allows himself to grace you with a kiss on the forehead.
childe: he isn't stupid. he knows he couldn't have you. he doesn't deserve you. he knows, because you're a little sheltered princess, and he's ashamed of being a lowly dirty thief. there's no way you would choose him, not when you had diluc. diluc who had everything you've ever wanted, and could give you a life of perfection. childe wants to be happy, but he wants to be happy with you, and he knows that's impossible. he's reminded, once again, when he gives you a small gift, and your first reaction was: âyou didn't steal it, did you?â
zhongli: your engagement with diluc was made known to the public, and in your wishful thinking, you hoped he would care. you hoped he would be hesitant to congratulate you, because he too harbored feelings for you, but he doesn't, and he never will. âcongratulations,â he greets you out of obligation, but he doesn't look back after turning away. he doesn't spare you a single glance, and he goes off to his merry way.
albedo: there is no remedy to heartache, unfortunately. so when he sees you with another man, all he can do is look away and ignore the painful clenching in his chest. he'd considered stealing you away from the duke, once. given his title, it shouldn't be too hard; he had as much influence as diluc. but the problem lies with you, the person who's never considered him as a man. he was just a friend to you, and albedo is smart: he knows when he has a chance, and when he doesn't.
venti: he's perfectly aware of the reason why you don't want him being seen with you. it's for his sake, he knows, because if anyone realized he was the lost prince, he'd be brought back immediately, and he had his own reasons to run away. but it hurts nonetheless, when you pretend not to know him, despite all the time you spent together. he glances at the man strolling beside you â duke ragnvindr, was it? â and envy burns his heart. diluc held your hand confidently, because he knew you belonged to him, and venti was just a spectator in your little romance. (you were never his, but his heart belonged to you and you alone.)
xiao: he knows well, how it feels like when the person you admire doesn't return your affections. so he understands, he really does, but he'll still stop you from drinking your sorrows away. it's irresponsible, and he knows you'll regret your decisions the next day when you wake up with a hangover. (he knows he did, when he's the one who got drunk.) but you don't stop, you didn't want to, and he's frantically pleading for you to give him the wine bottle... hm? why are you looking at him like that? you're leaning closer, quietly murmuring a name â it certainly isn't his â and you loop your arms around his neck. he catches you by the waist, knowing what you were about to do, knowing he was supposed to stop you, but the words die in his throat when you seal his lips with yours. (and he doesn't push you away, even if you pretended he was another person, because this was his last chance, and he'll take whatever he can get.) (you wake up with a hangover the next day, just as he suspected. with no recollection of what happened the night before... just as he expected.) (it's okay, he reminds himself. he'll remember it, for the both of you.)
alright, so i thought of a couple interesting game mechanics (even though this will never be a real game, but uh- enjoy them, nonetheless!)
otome games all have an "affection gauge" where you can see which boy you have the most chance of getting a good ending with, right? and typically, the higher the number of "affection points" you have to get, the more difficult it would be to get a certain route's good ending.
that's how most cases go. i'd imagine diluc's affection gauge would have a high number, since you really need to pick the correct dialogue to earn his trust, and zhongli's gauge would be quite demanding too since... well, he's an engaged man, and you're engaged to diluc as well, so you'll have to put more effort into making him fall in love with you because ditching his fiancee for another person (who's also engaged) doesn't seem reasonable to do otherwise.
the easiest route to win would be... albedo's? considering your history together, it shouldn't take much effort on your part to charm him. and venti too, i suppose. the hardest part about venti's route would be choosing to either run away from your family to be with him, or abandon him because that's the most rational decision to make. (it's obvious which one would lead for a good ending with him. xiao and diluc probably wouldn't be very happy with it tho) kaeya's route will most likely be easy as well. diluc doesn't despise him wholeheartedly, so he'd probably allow you to marry his brother to make kaeya happy.
okay, so here comes the fun part. childe's affection gauge isn't too hard to fill, but the challenge is getting his affection points. you always have no fucking idea which dialogue to pick. you don't know when would be the best time to offer him flattery, or when you should be honest with him. sometimes lip service does work, but sometimes it doesn't. you get three dialogue options, and picking the wrong choice would lead to a deduction of affection points (a feature exclusive to childe; for the other guys, you only acquire lesser affection points). the other capture targets only have two dialogue options, normally, but childe has three because one is the correct choice, one is incorrect and deducts points, and the last is a bland answer that doesn't deduct points or give you points (basically a safety net if you really have no idea which option to pick). it's a high risk high reward kind of gamble, but if you play it too safe, you'll get stuck with the normal ending. he's a complex character, and he'd probably fit as a "true end" kind of capture target... if xiao wasn't in the way.
the first thing you'll notice about xiao's affection gauge is how easy it is to fill. you'd think, "oh, is it because he's always loved you from the start? that's great! it'll be easy to get his good ending!" so you proceed to give him flattery, and you fill his affection gauge in no time. but there's something weird about it. you've played the other routes, and once you fill a character's affection gauge, it normally wouldn't exceed the highest number. but you can somehow exceed xiao's max affection...? you continue to flatter him, thinking maybe it's just some stupid bug, but no, honey. it's not a bug. you've landed yourself straight into his bad ending. a bad ending unique to xiao and xiao only, where he loves you so much he begins to get obsessive, and ultimately becomes a yandere character.
