Xiao Hummed softly as he shut his eyes, letting himself indulge in your random little acts, apparently a lot of humans did with their spouses. Currently he is laying on his back, with his head in your lap as he felt your gentle hands playing with his hair. You both were in Dihua Marsh, just near Wangshu Inn, but far enough no one would spot Xiao, both of you hidden within the tall grass.

Xiao planned just to go solo the rest of his life after the archon war, But then you came, working alongside the traveler for a commission. It was the first time he met someone so.. cheery? towards him.

it was almost sickening to him how much you treated him with such kindness. As time went on he got used to you pestering him everyday even if it was very annoying at first. He quickly attached himself to you without you really knowing or without himself really knowing how he got attached so quickly either way you're here for now.

The tree you both were under shaded the both of you from the sun. He opened his eyes when he felt your hands leave his hair but his eyesight quickly got covered by your hand.

His brows furrowed, confused by this he reached up and went to grasp onto your wrist before freezing when he felt a feather like texture brush against his cheek and tuck some hair behind his ear, perfectly nesting behind his ear.

When you took your hand off of his eyes, Xiao reached behind his ear, feeling a flower stem. He quickly took the flower out of his hair and brought it out in front of him, as he stared at it he realized it was a Glaze Lily.

Xiao stared at it for a minute before he tore his gaze away and instead looked up at you, his amber eyes meeting yours. Why would you give him a measly flower he had no use for.

“What is this for.” He bluntly stated rather than a question, his face showing no emotion with his voice indifferent.
