I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AGGHDJAHDJBSB - Tumblr Posts
hello! how are you today? :D may i request a scenario with xiao where he’s fully simping for reader until he hears them call his name, only for them to be badly injured?
he can think something like, “i was just thinking about you, but not like this..?” and he’s enraged about the fact that reader’s hurt …
thank you so much in advanced! i hope you have a great day/night :)
Characters: Xiao
Warnings: mentions of death, blood, getting hurt, being emotionally constipated.
Genre: hurt/ comfort(?)
Jester's note: Hii hii, Im doing okay, I hope this is to your tastes!

Xiao would catch himself thinking about you more often than usual, somehow a mortal slipped into his life and became a part of it.
He would never say it out loud but he came to appreciate your presence. Whenever you walked in with a plate of almond tofu, talking about how your day went and what you did, it invoked a feeling within him, one he couldn’t get rid of and each day, this feeling grew stronger.
And eventually, he gave you the honour of calling his name whenever you needed his help…by that he meant to kill something, that was the only thing he was good at. No matter what you said, it’s what he was trained to do and no matter what, the red stains on his hands would never wash off.
The stains on his hands made him wonder whether he was even worthy to be with you. He could see that you held affection for him but would he be able to reciprocate that affection? Would someone who had never felt love be able to give it back?
These thoughts flooded his mind everyday and these very thoughts are what made him keep you away, yet even then you would never leave his mind.
It had been a while since you called his name and this didn’t worry him much, you were well capable of taking care of yourself and he had never seen you wander off to any place that seemed dangerous. He had seen you take care of fights with ease and not break a sweat.
If he could, if life gave him a chance, he would spend your mortal life with you and even in death he would remember you.
“Xiao!”
The adeptus didn’t waste a second to get to you, the urgency in your voice was enough to scare him but the sight he was met with was worse. You were covered in blood, barely able to stand properly.
His eyes met your and seeing your condition invoked many feelings within him but most prominent was that of anger; angry at the fact he couldn’t stop you from getting injured, angry at the monsters that caused you this much harm and anger directed at fate for trying to rip you apart from him.
He disposed of the monsters quickly before coming to your side and for once, the stoic adeptus had his emotions displayed, you could see the worry in his eyes as he tried to get you to keep your eyes open. You always thought the first emotion you’d made him feel was something more gentle, perhaps..love but here he was in distress about your condition.
It made you chuckle at how cruel life could be at times but you were glad that you’d be alive to make him break his façade with a much lighter emotion next time.
“I promise I’ll get you to break your façade with a better emotion next time and then you’ll always have me in your mind.” You said, giving him a small smile.
“Shut up and focus on surviving.”
