Xiao x male! reader

Little Thief

For once, it was a rather relaxing day for the Yaksha. No one tried to stand in his way, no demonic spirits anywhere, the weather was nice and soon his boyfriend will come back from his walk.

And the Almond Tofu he was eating made everything even better than it already was.

Suspicious.

Even though it was a quiet day, Xiao couldn't help but think something is going to go wrong. Something had to go wrong. There is no such thing as a 'perfect day'. Not when (Y/N) wasn't there with him at least...

Xiao scoffed slightly at that last thought, trying to overplay the embarrassment he felt for thinking that. //If (Y/N) would hear this, he'd definitely poke fun and me for being so lovey-dovey. Argh.//

Chewing the rest of his food in silence, the golden-eyed began to wonder when his significant other would meet up with him. After all, it was the (Y/EC)-eyed's proposal to watch the sunset together ontop of the Inn's roof.

The idea that something might have happened to him made the man freeze for a second, but he shook that thought right out of his head again. That couldn't be it, (Y/N) was strong and smart enough to defend himself.

After finishing his food, Xiao walked to the room he and his boyfriend stayed in. He wanted to get his weapon he left in there, like he always did when he had to calm his nerves. Xiao felt safer with it, but a significantly huge weight is always being lifted from his shoulders whenever he put it aside. Really put it aside, not making it vanish into thin air.

Xiao went straight to the closet where he locked in his spear-

"...No."

He threw the closet doors open upon seeing the lock dangling on one of the handles, unlocked. Panic rose in his body, eyes widen, "You've got to be kidding me...", he growled through his teeth. The closet was completely empty.

The turquoise-haired closed his eyes, took a few deep breathes and crossed his arms over his chest. He began to recall everything to solve the mystery.

//I put the spear in there before I went to eat something and before (Y/N) went out on a walk. That was about 20 minutes ago...The only two people who have the magical key to open the lock are me and (Y/N)...(Y/N)!//

Now that he thought about it, (Y/N) did behave a bit strangely when they were talking in their shared room, the (Y/EC)-eyed kept staring at Xiao's spear and seemed to be overall a bit nervous. And the most important thing: (Y/N) never took a stroll all by himself, he always asked the other to join him.

Xiao rubbed his temples and leaned against the wall beside the door. He had no idea why his boyfriend would steal his weapon and, for the time being, didn't care. He just hoped it really was him.

About 15 minutes later, the (Y/HC)-haired arrived at Wangshuu Inn, about to complete his mission. That, however, proofed itself to be quite difficult. (Y/N) surely attracted a lot of attention with that giant cloth on his back which contained a certain someone's weapon.

//I should've thought this through! Taking the spear without Xiao noticing is one thing, but putting it back before he notices it's gone-//

Quiet like a cat, he made his way up the stairs, greeting people with a nod as he walked past them. Believe me when I say (Y/N) had his reasons to steal- I mean- to borrow his boyfriend's spear without asking him first. Well, besides looking cool with the Jade Winged-Spear and acting like the adept, of course.

(Y/N) sighed in relieve upon seeing the door to his destination, barging in without knocking and letting out a shriek before stumbling backwards after he saw Xiao move from his earlier position to block his way. Before (Y/N) could fall, Xiao grabbed him by his wrist and pulled him against his chest.

The (Y/HC)-haired's face turned bright red, he had been caught in his crime. He raised his gaze, flinching when he saw Xiao staring back at him with an anamused expression on his face.

The Yaksha sighed and released his boyfriend's wrist before closing the door and crossing his arms as he continued to eye his lover, occasionally letting his eyes drift to the clothed weapon (Y/N) carried on his back.

"So you really were the one who took my spear without my permission.", he stated in a stern voice, but not much different from the way he usually spoke. (Y/N) sweatdropped and began to fiddle with his hands, face still as red as Jueyun chilis.

"I-I can explain! So there were these treasure hoarders I passed by during my walk and- and they had- I noticed they had your spear on them and I was like- 'Hey that can't be right!', right? So I walked over there and managed to get the spear back and- isn't that crazy, though? I mean, how did they even open the lock? Hehehehe...Yeah- so- so that's what happened!"

Xiao continued to stare at (Y/N), clearly unimpressed, clearly unconvinced.

Really, if (Y/N) wasn't so dear to him, Xiao would give him a piece of his mind, never trusting him again, but...he was sure the (Y/HC)-haired had a completely understandable reason for stealing his spear.

"You don't really believe I'd ever believe such an excuse of a lie, do you?", he sighed, "Just tell me the truth. Why did you take my spear? You know I need it in case something happens, right?"

(Y/N) avoided eye-contact as he took the spear from his back and removed the cloth, before handing it over to its rightful owner. The adept's eyes widened as he held his weapon in his hand, finally being able to have a look at it.

"What...? You cleaned it?", he asked, running his un-gloved fingers down the handle. It almost looked like it was shining.

The other nodded as he intertwined his fingers behind his back, "And I also let a friend of Zhongli resharpen it.", (Y/N) still avoided eye-contact, "You mentioned how blunt it got and also- also how disgustingly dirty it got from your last couple of fights."

(Y/N) finally looked at his lover, "I didn't ask because I wanted to surprise you...and because you would have done it yourself, even though you were supposed to relax...I'm sorry, though..."

The room went silent after his explanation, while Xiao admired his weapon. That was pretty much the first time in a long time he understood what the phrase 'good as new' meant.

But, Xiao didn't quite understand why he felt so warm all of the sudden. He should be angry, or at least annoyed, no?

He looked up at his nervous lover, he was almost able to hear (Y/N)'s racing heart and was definitely able to feel his own.

//It's because he did it for me, to make me happy...//, he thought, almost as if it was someone else telling him. He shook his head.

"You scared me, you know?", Xiao finally spoke up, making his spear vanish into thin air and walking towards his boyfriend. (Y/N) muttered another apology, making the other sigh once more, "It's alright, just ask for permission next time."

The (Y/HC)-haired glanced to the side, a clear sign for Xiao to understand, "I will not decline the offer, I promise." Hearing those words made (Y/N) smile again, his (Y/EC) eyes sparkling as he looked into Xiao's golden ones.

Xiao took a deep breath through his nose, a blush threatening to form on his cheeks. He raised his hand to pet (Y/N)'s head, "You're such a trouble maker...", he mumbled, making his boyfriend laugh.

hi hru? i hope you've been taking care of yourself. May I request a Chongyun and Xiao with a male s/o who plays the piano in private?

Hey hoi howdy

I'm good! But pretty overwhelmed by how fast I reach milestones- srsly we're at 300 followers now- Like- Hi?? Whazzup ppl??

I had to type this one down on my phone all over again after trying to post it on my pc about 3 times. Tumblr hates me again

Anyways-

Genshin Impact Masterlist

I hope this is what you wanted & you enjoy reading!

X male! reader

Headcanon: Chongyun, Xiao with a s/o who plays the piano

If Chongyun ever rambles about how amazing his boyfriend is, he mostly focuses on the piano playing. He doesn't get lost in memories and embarrasses himself when he talks about things (Y/N) is good at (Unlike if he started to talk about (Y/N)'s personality- oh boi- fetch this boy some cold water)

Ramblings are pretty rare tho, or never if (Y/N) doesn't want anyone to know about his passion

Chongyun feels special if (Y/N) only shared it with him- or at least if he is one of the few who get to listen to it

He is really interested in learning more about his boyfriend's passion and likes to talk about it

It would embarrass him greatly, but if (Y/N) wants him to try to play a few easy tunes, he will try

"Uhm...Which key was it again?"-He'd need some time, but would get the hang of it soon

Just imagine playing something together, him sitting on the left and (Y/N) on the right. Chongyun would do the simple deep tone thing while (Y/N) plays the melody (Chongyun would feel amazing, it surely would be a bonding experience)

Now, I feel like this would be a nice way to meet Xiao

Him, walking around in the mountains, searching for demonic spirits...but then he'd hear a faint piano sound. He'd curiously walk closer to an abandoned hut and end up finding (Y/N), completely zoned out, playing the piano like no one else did (the rest is history lol)

Most of the time Xiao leans against the wall outside the room where his boyfriend plays piano, calming his nerves while listening to the sweet melodies

He's very hesitant to walk in and sit down, he doesn't want to be a nuisance or a distraction

If (Y/N) tells him he really wants him to sit next to him while he plays, Xiao would click with his tongue, "Fine."

There are only three moods of Xiao:

His eyes are closed ad he listens anf relaxes his muscles

His eyes are on his boyfriend's hands, following their every move with interest

His eyes are fixated on (Y/N)'s face, admiring his 'in the zone' face while he himself completely zones out too

He expects (Y/N) to never tell anyone about his three moods, well knowing he saw every one of them at least once

Xiao wouldn't play if (Y/N) asks him to

But

He would sneak into the piano room to practice playing

Maybe to surprise his boyfriend for his next birthday

If requests are closed ignore this but can you do xiao x reader?

The reader is an adeptus as well one xiao wasnt aware existed till the chasm incident when he saw a small crystal fly coming towards him before zhongli saved him.

How would he react and fall for the reader?

Fluff please? I've read too much angst

Requests are not closed! I was a little confused about what specifically you were looking for so if I need to adjust, by all means, let me know ❤️ I tried to make this fluffy but I think. I made it too solemn. Also, thank you all for 300+ followers. I'm so glad you all enjoy my writing. It really motivates me to keep at it 😊

(Sfw) Falling for You

Characters: Xiao x GN!Reader

Warnings: Spoilers for the 2.7 archon quest, reader is an adeptus with a pyro vision, it's fluffy?? To an extent? A bit of a somber end but no one necessarily dies

WC: 1.6k Words

Check out Pt. 2 Here! (nsfw)

Xiao felt his body grow weaker as he fell deeper down into The Chasm, the panicked voices of his allies but a distant sound. He had put all his energy and power into sending them back home-- he had done his duty faithfully. There was no need to feel regret or fear for the inevitable.

Just as his eyes slowly fall shut, a small red crystal fly flutters towards him. Only for a moment, a glimpse of life before his eyes. Before he can focus too hard, a glimmer of yellow shines, and geo-energy shoots right at him. Warmth encases him and as he closes his eyes, the crystal fly disappears.

Soon after, he appears outside The Chasm with the others, who hurriedly run over to check on him. His mind is racing and the residual energy is buzzing off of him. The words of concern from his allies fall on deaf ears-- all he could focus on was what he saw as he was falling.

That crystal fly...why is its energy so familiar...

✦✧✦✧

The next time Xiao feels that familiar energy, he's out patrolling the beaches near Wangshu Inn. One of the renters at the inn mentioned a hilichurl camp that was giving trouble to passersby and he wanted to investigate for himself. When he arrived, he saw you standing there, back facing towards him, in the center of what he can assume is the remains of the camp.

Smoke and water vapor rise around you and the smell of burnt wood and flesh floods his nostrils. You made quick work of the camp, as there was barely a mask left behind in the wreckage.

"I'm glad to see you are able to be up and moving fairly quickly, Alatus."

Xiao tensed a little-- you never turned around and yet you knew who was behind you.

"I'm an adeptus. It is not easy to take me down," he replies, tightening the grip on his spear. "Who are you?"

You finally look back at him, wearing a smile that does not quite reach your eyes.

"I am Y/N. Nice to meet you."

Xiao's breath hitches as he meets your eyes. There are speckles of red in your iris, reminding him of embers flittering off a flame. The longer he holds eye contact with you, the more intense the feeling of his heartbeat gets. It's loud and rumbles like thunder. He was sure there were no other adepti, and he definitely did not sense your presence in the chasm before. So how...

"I'm quite new actually. Only a few hundred years old-- nothing compared to your age I'd imagine," your voice pierces through his head, breaking him out of his thoughts. "I signed a contract with Morax and was spending my time in Natlan. However, when he told me what you were up to, I made my way back here."

Xiao studies your face, looking for any trace of deception. But your smile, while ingenuine, revealed no such thing.

"Then, you were the crystal fly?" He questions, and you nod, your smile widening.

"Ding ding ding-- we have a winner! I help Morax figure out where you were so he could rescue you. Although, I'm sure he would've found you all on his own eventually. He is the Geo Archon."

You pull out a pocketwatch from your bag, clicking your tongue when you see the time.

"It appears that I'm running behind on another errand. You'll have to forgive me, Alatus," you apologize, putting the pocket watch away. Just as you're about to run off, he stops you.

"Xiao. Call me Xiao," he insists. "That name carries memories and a history that is no longer relevant."

You look back at him, eyes scanning over his features properly. After a bit, the warmth from your smile reaches your eyes, and you nod.

"I'll see you around, Xiao."

✦✧✦✧

You and Xiao meet up more after that day. At first, you'd make bi-weekly trips to Wangshuu Inn, relaxing on the rooftop under the shining moon with Xiao as you recount your adventures to him. You remind him of Ganyu or even Yanfei, with you all having closer proximity to humans and even the mannerisms you've managed to adopt.

On one particular evening, you both exchange your favorite meals: he lets you try almond tofu, and you offer him a delicacy from Natlan. Neither dishes are to the other's taste, and you laugh it off as a result of "different environments." Nonetheless, you always bring him something to try and he does grow fond of the spicy and sweet candies that come from the land of pyro, along with the adeptus that guards the nation.

It wasn't until you had been coming for about 4 months that the yaksha finally realized his feelings for you. It was during the Lantern Rite Festival-- everyone was coming together to celebrate the memories of those who had passed. The streets were bustling with life and joy-- a sight that he knew you would not want to miss

Currently, Xiao is walking around the streets, searching for you. You promised that you would be there to release a lantern with him.

"Where are they?" He ponders to himself as he watches festivalgoers walk past and interact with the merchants.

A sudden warmth fills his chest, startling him a bit. He looks up and sees you standing on the roof of one of the buildings, holding a lantern. You flash him a grin and leap off. Catch me if you can, your actions read. Xiao grunts and he leaps after you, not wasting time.

You two race across the city toward the harbor, jumping over congested roads and excited patrons. It's not long before you land at the edge of the dock, Xiao landing right behind you.

"You're a tad too slow, Alatus," you tease, turning to face the yaksha. He grunts, looking away.

"You had a head start."

"Is that what we're going with? The 'head start' excuse?" You laugh, and Xiao is reminded of the bells that ring as merchants push their carts down the streets, selling their wares. A familiar and welcoming sound.

"You already have a lantern," he comments, deciding the change the subject.

You look down at the object in your hand, the heat from the candle inside warming your palms. It was carefully crafted, with a fire-breathing dragon painted outside. The way the flames danced inside made it look like the dragon's fire was alive and moving.

His, on the other hand, had a large peng bird painted on the outside, its wings spread to wrap around lantern. As the fire danced, it gave off the illusion of the wings flapping.

"Shall we release them together?" You ask, and he nods, stepping closer to the edge of the harbor.

You both stand there, waiting for the people in the city to release their lanterns first. You enjoy the environment around you-- a cool sea breeze blows past and you can hear the soft creaking of the nearby boats. The waves crash against the harbor walls and if you listen really closely, you can hear the slow breathing of you and Xiao as you stare out to the sea.

"You confuse me," Xiao states, earning an amused look from you.

"Oh? How so?"

He swallows thickly, his gaze focused on the ground and his mind racing as he searches for the right words to say. How does he explain the unnatural feelings he's felt all this time.

"You leave me wanting to see you daily. The time spent away from you has me feeling more irritable than usual. When you are here, it's like my karmic debt doesn't exist and I am allowed to simply be," he starts, slowly looking up to meet your gaze.

"I find needless chatter about everyday occurrences needless, and yet every time you're near I wish to hear you speak more. My head hurts and my chest aches, but they pain me more when you're gone...How does that work? Is it an adeptus ability you have trained to weaken me?"

You stare at him, gaze unwavering. It's overwhelming-- it's suffocating. You don't react or respond right away, and it's making Xiao feel like you're tearing everything he said apart, piece by piece. Why won't you look away? Why do you keep staring at me with such firey passion? Why oh why do I still want you to look on, to only keep your eyes on me?

"Alatus."

He gasps at your sudden proximity and nearly stumbles back. Your voice is light-- if the wind blew harder he'd have an issue hearing what you have to say. The embers in your eyes burn brightly.

"Do you want to know what those feelings mean?"

Amber eyes stare back at you, revealing millions of thoughts scrolling by. You can feel his breath against your lips, and your heartbeats are like drums beating in synch. Time seems to slow down and it's just you two in the harbor. You both wait with bated breath for his response.

"Yes," he breathes out finally.

Your lantern is released, floating up into the sky to join the hundreds of others that spread across the starry night, and warmth spreads across Xiao's lips. You taste of jueyun chillis and sugary rice pudding, and it's all he can taste. All he can feel is your body against his and the inviting movements of your lips on his. He releases his lantern next and wraps his arms around your body, the firm grip a reminder of his desire to not let you go. Not yet at least.

Under the sea of golden light, you two share a lover's embrace. Duties are but a second thought-- the first being entirely devoted to each other.

Requests (both sfw and nsfw) are open~!
