♡ . TWO,

of lovesick! a xiao x cupid!reader

the sun was beautiful here, lightly trickling down her hair and skin, adding the softest glow as she once again aimed her arrow.

a swirl of pink gathering at the heart shaped point to signal the potion working,

this time she pointed it directly down to the innkeeper and the chef, both of them smiling far too much, surely their cheeks would hurt after they parted, that is-if they even did.

love, has a unique way of showing in a person. when the said person would do anything to catch the other's attention even if it meant picking up a fallen quill, they'd do it just to be acknowledged and seen by those particular eyes.

or perhaps when the said person would do anything to just talk to the person. an argument, and agreement, a ramble and even just a greeting everyday. the key was consistency.

if not, then there was no love to begin with, it required effort.

and here, with these two, efforts were all that showed from the workaholics.

the arrow was drawn and now all that was left was waiting for a touch, whether it was a simple touch or graze of the arm, a gentle touch was all that was needed for the potion to work.

a branch snapped behind her, and she drew her arrow down, at first she assumed she was caught by a worker but the unnatural gush of wind with the sound felt all too familiar, "adeptus."

"cupid." he sighed, dropping his body onto the chair near the corner of the balcony, "cupid? i prefer being called by my name, not title." she watched him, seeing as he adjusted onto the chair to his comfortability, manspreading would be the word.

"is there a reason you're here?" he asked, his hands crossed over his chest, but not angrily. in fact, the adeptus seemed relaxed today.

"just doing my job, as usual." she turned back taking advantage of his calm mood to complete the job then leave. "are you aiming at the innkeepers?" he asked, to which i didn't answer truthfully,

"..don't know." "how could you not? don't you research beforehand?" he asked, only this time she didn't answer, "cupid."

"you're awfully chatty today aren't you," she smiled dryily, "could it be that the conqueror of demons has finally found his match?" she lifted a shoulder as she looked back at him, his brows lifted for a moment before furrowing as they usually did.

"that's ridiculous." he sneered, lifting off his chair and approaching her, and to be quite honest it showed how scary the adeptus actually was when mad, "you're right, it is."

he leaned against the railing, the same railing she sat on with her legs swinging off the sides.

"adeptus-"

"do not love. they fight, got it." she recalled, facing the adeptus with a smile before turning back abruptly, he glared at her before turning his attention to the keepers, "why haven't you arrowed them yet?" "arrowed?" she laughed, "you mean shot, then no, because i have to wait until they share a touch,"

the adeptus hummed before pulling away, "you'll be here all night if you wait then, they're strictly professional around each other." he states, "for them to touch is nearly impossible unless it's required."

"is this what you do in your free time, adeptus? spy on people?" she raised a brow, "cupid, i live here."

oh...well,

she looked around again, "interesting.." the place like empty, but the then again she didn't expect him to be the decorative type,

not over small things like these.

"well under what circumstances would they touch?" she asked, the adeptus looked at her deep in thought, before looking down and shaking his head, "drop a leaf on one,"

"a leaf?" one of her brows rose, seeing as the adeptus curtly nodded, "about a day ago i saw the innkeeper help the chef clean from the fallen leaves that managed to stick to his back from when he came back from his hunt."

the cupid's eyes quite literally lit up, "xiao, you're a genius.." she turnt back looking down at the couple as they again shared another laugh, "i might need more of your help though..."

she took another quick peek back to see the adeptus deadpan at her, "please?"

he grunted before nodding shortly, "that tree, can you use your vision to blow the leaves from the branch?" "what makes you think this branch would do the trick?" he asked, already stepping over the fence and onto the roof to approach the branch, "i have faith in it."

he glared only before finally using his skill. the sunset colored leaves rustling with the impact before finally detaching and fluttering down, straight to the couple. she leaned over the fence to see it all take place, but the leaves were fluttering too far.

as if in sync to her thoughts, another rustle and grunt were heard on your opposite side, followed with more fluttering leaves, she looked to see the adeptus with his spear in hand, watching at the leaves blew by.

"oh my.." the faint femme voice said, cupid instantly looked over the edge again to see both the innkeeper and chef looking up at the falling leaves coming in both directions.

"look at that," the chef said in disbelief, before straightening, "oh..uh, verr..."

the innkeeper looked up at him in question, as he scratched the back of his neck with embarrassment, "i might need your help again..." he turnt and the innkeeper could barely hold in her laugh, "oh, yanxiao...just stand still,"

there, she gently plucked each orange leaf from his back and onto the ground. xiao, stepped beside the cupid, "what if this fails?" he asked, seeing her already aiming downwards, "ever been hit by an arrow? same concept, if the touch isn't there-the arrow doesn't mist." she let the string go, the black arrow lightened with a pink flame at its point heading directly to the innkeeper's hand before disappearing with the slice. both their movements halted, her touch transfering the potions effect onto him with a soft glow before disappearing into his clothes.

the chef turned slowly to see her with a smile, "come now, i don't think we ever sat down for some tea..." the innkeeper laced her arm around his, dragging him along back into the inn, slowly disappearing from the cupid's view from the balcony.

she felt a glare on her which only enhanced her smile wider, "see xiao? it-"

but once she turned, the adeptus was gone, only a falling leaf left in his place, swirling in the sweeps of the wind.

authors note:

so ik the inn keeper and the chef aren't together but i found out verr is actually married AFTER i wrote this...I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS MARRIED 😭

still... i ship it, its cute imo..🫶🏼

♡ . ONE,

of lovesick! a xiao x cupid!reader

fatui, with fatui? an office romance perhaps...those were exciting. tense, and most importantly romantic, which was the main and only goal. she drew her arrow, the heart shaped point directly pointing at the two who laughed along with their conversation on the crimson red bridge. she drew a slow breath,

just a bit closer...steady...

"what on earth are you doing?"

she jumped, her bow instead heading straight down into the large tree below the cliff, "xiao." she bit, her shoulders slumping as she turned back to see him with vexation,"i thought i told you to give me at least a warning when you came by. maybe a break of a branch or at least a formal hello?" she narrowed her eyes at him, while he did the same, "why are you aiming arrows now, i thought you worked with potions."

she smiled at his words, turning back to the city while pulling another arrow from the pouch on her side, and lining it against the bow just to show off, "cool right? i believe this is easier than sneaking potions around. besides it saves me less trips to the mellelith headquarters for possible drugging." she shrugged, the man stayed silent the same silence was becoming unbearable once even the wind began to talk in it's fresh breezes, "so...how's the fighting coming along. i swear i saw a spinning hurlichurl a mile back, seemed pretty dangerous..." she tightened her lips, "i know what you're up to."

here we go again, "and what that might be adeptus? i've been dying to hear another of your thrilling theories." she placed her bow down onto her lap, her attention turning towards the stern man, his hands crossing over his chest once his spear was neatly placed behind his back, "you paint me as a fool."

"perhaps because that is how you sound. a mere fool." she smiled, "xiao-"

"adeptus." he grunted, interrupting her for his silly title, she couldn't help how her smile grew more, "oh, i thought we were past formalities?"

"we'll never be past acquaintances,"

"but you soo love to talk to me, or so it seems.." he furrowed his brows further than they once were, a short scoff at the word 'love'.

then she gasped, "are you still mad about the match i set you up with?" he rolled his eyes and turned away but it was far too late to wall away now, her interest was far from piqued, "she was lovely!" the cupid argued, not that it mattered, she might as well be arguing with a wall. "she makes amazing almond tofu," [ name ] teased, hoping the adeptus would at least twitch of emotion, but alas, nothing.

he pulled his spear from behind his back and continued his walk choosing to ignore her although she persisted, "she's your perfect match,"

"adeptus, do not fall in love. we fight." he suddenly stopped, "and would you occupy yourself with better things other than pushing a silly emotion onto people against their own freewill."

"it's not against their wills. i'm simply just enhancing it." she stopped with a growing smile, "you don't even know the first thing about love."

"i know it's something people can do on their own, without your meddling." his voice rose higher, still as hoarse as ever, and the way he spoke of something not even he has experienced, utterly irritating, "you are so naive." her smile still on her lips, out of pure amusement of the situation, "i don't even know why i try to talk to you. you're impossible." she huffed, turning to march off and away from this, oh so great adeptus.

"i could say the same to you," he murmured, and that ticked her, but nonetheless she continued her march, "then avoid talking to me again," she bit out, before following the path to her special rock.

the one placed right on the cliff that looked down on liyue harbor, the same one guizhong helped he place in a late date,

when she was still around, and before...her passing.

she reached for her pouch for an arrow, seeing the two fatui leaning ever more closer than before, but nothing filled her grasp.

no,

she looked down to see the empty patch only contain a single qingxin flower,

a flower?

the cupid's eyes lidded, "who left you here,"

no one but the adeptus came by but surely a soulless man like him wouldn't be capable of such, that would be ridiculous to believe.

perhaps it was the wind, it was possible, the mountains were high. yes, surely it was.

stop making fanfics about characters raping and sexually assaulting y/n, you are fucking disgusting people who romanticize a serious crime that happens every day to children and women

"but that's just reading dark romance" that's not a dark romance, that's just the stuff of a horrible fetish, IF YOU HAVE A RAPE FETISH, GO SEEK FOR FUCKING PSYCHIATRIST HELP!!!!!!!!!!
