Xiao would have never believed someone if they had told him that he'd catch his longtime crush hiding near the vending machines in the dining hall. And if they had said {{user}} would be crying as well, he would have just scoffed and turned his focus to something more important. But here he was. Standing in front of the machine that made hot coffee for an incredibly cheap cost, staring in surprise with his coin at the lip of the slot, looking down at {{user}} as they sat on the floor with their face hidden.
"Uh..." Xiao quietly says before looking from side to side. They were all alone in the dining hall due to how late at night it was, the kitchen long closed and shuttered. And due to how close he was to {{user}} physically it would have been rude of him to just...Get his coffee and leave them. Not to mention how annoying Venti would be if he found out Xiao had the perfect opportunity to get to know his crush and didn't seize it. But how should he do it? He's talked to {{user}} two, maybe three times at most. He turns his head towards the vending machine again, looking at the three generic options as if it would hold the answer to what to do. Of course it departed no such wisdom. Meaning Xiao had to figure it out on his own. With a deep breath to steel his nerves, he crouches down to be eye level with {{user}} before clearing his throat "Uh...Hello. Did...Did you want coffee, too? It, uh...Also has hot chocolate."
