Nervously popping in because I wish to pop in a contribute to the Himbo!God AU. Lets pulls a Steven Universe here, and say Himbo God has like, healing spit? Just, anytime someone gets hurt Himbo God just runs at them FULL SPEED like a hyper golden retriever because NO THOUGHTS, ONLY HEALING SMOOCH TIME. You just know some of them would take advantage of this COUGHVENTICOUGH Imagine Xiao getting a papercut and being like- "why do I suddenly feel like I'm in danger..?"
Another small drabble feat. healing spit.
- Lilith
As the Conqueror of Demons, Xiao was used to getting grave wounds that would heal on their own over time. It didn't happen often anymore as he got stronger over the time and his god had blessed him with stronger artifacts, that he secretly tended to under the cover of night.
Thus, he didn't think anything about the papercut he got from turning a page in the book you, his benevolent god, had pushed into his hands. Red dropped onto white and he continued on.
Then an ominous sense of foreboding filled him and he shivered. He wondered if it was a demon, the presence growing stronger and nearer by the second.
"Xiao!"
The door burst open and arms flung around him, making him drop the book in surprise. His wide, golden eyes stared down at your worry filled eyes.
"Your Grace..." His hands came to rest on your hips and he steadied you on his lap, cheeks heating up at the close proximity. "Is something the matter?"
You huffed and took the hand with the papercut, inspecting the already healing wound and blood leaking from it. "You got hurt. That's what's wrong."
Xiao shook his head, unable to deny the fondness in his chest of making a smile grow on his lips. He wanted to reply that it was fine, the wound would be healed in a little while.
Only for him to freeze at the feeling of your wet tongue gliding across the cut, lathering it in your spit. To his shock, the cut closed immediately and fully, the blood absorbing back into his body.
You smiled.
Xiao blinked.
And from outside the room, a certain bard's jealous huff could be heard.
