hacker!xiao x reader, modern au , mentions of injury
It felt like your relationship with Xiao was too good to be true.
He was everything you wanted in a man; resilient, strong-willed, and treats you no less than what you deserve.
You would’ve never guessed that your partner was a wanted man. For when with you, he's simply Xiao, not the vigilant hacker who's under fire for his misdeeds and most certainly not the sly criminal he was deemed as.
Xiao feels at his safest when he’s with you. He always has ever since you found him at his lowest, injured and left to die in a dark alleyway. He felt like you were his saving grace, a glimmer of hope he could cling to.
He does feel immense guilt whenever he lies about his real occupation, but it’s all for your own good, right?
Xiao may appear to be stoic, but in actuality, he's always restless at night thinking about how a so-called cunning man like him was loved by someone as angelic like you.
You unknowingly have a wanted vigilante weak for you, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
