The night was quiet, devoid of most people as the moon shined over Liyue. The stars shone beautifully in the sky, each constellation belonging to people under the Archons’ gazes. Sitting on the railing of Wangshu Inn would be Xiao, looking up at the night sky with his usual stoic expression. Standing beside him, leaning against the railing would be you, yet your gaze was not on the sky. No, rather.. you were devoting all of your attention on Xiao. It didn’t take long for Xiao to notice either.

Turning towards you, he had a confused expression, not knowing if you wanted something or not. But, when you would lean closer while still holding eye contact, his cheeks would turn a light shade of pink. He instinctively covered your eyes with his hand as he spoke.

“Stop looking at me like that, it’s making me feel weird..”

You didn’t listen, only reaching your hands up to remove his from covering your eyes. As you looked back at him, Xiao’s expression now showed signs of flusterness.

“Now what..?”

You gave no response, just like earlier. When you didn’t answer, he would hesitantly reach his hands out to your face, cupping it in his hands as he spoke once more.

“Can I.. kiss you..?”

Xiao had asked in a lower voice, almost whisper-like. Once you nodded your head, giving him permission, he would leaned down from the railing slightly, capturing you into a kiss as he lowered his hands from your face to your own hands, intertwining your fingers with his.
