The End of a Contract - Xiao X Reader

19 : Date

Before I finished cleaning the dishes Xiao told me to give him 30 minutes to prepare. I gave him a small portion of our mora for the date preparations.

I continued happily lounging around the house, exercising and almost setting the house on fire with my Pyro vision.

After 30 minutes Xiao came back and told me to follow him. We walked outside of the harbor and went into a secluded area.

"Ride me."

"Uh Xiao—"

"What ? Get on my back so I can take you to the spot I prepared."

"Ah so you meant ride you as in... piggyback ride. Okay."

Xiao kneels down I carefully climb on his back and wrap my arms around his neck. After I tell him I'm ready, we zoom off back into Jueyun Karst. We go to the very top of Qingyun Peak and he lays me down next to a shining mechanism.

"Wait here."

I nod as Xiao disappears into a flash. After a few minutes I see a light shine onto the mechanism. I look at the source to see Xiao standing next to a bird statue. He waved at me and I wave back before he dashes off again.

I wait for a while, very conscious of where I was sitting since I don't think I could survive a fall from this mountain.

Xiao comes back and suddenly an up current appears along with some platforms to land on. Xiao didn't need to glide though so he just picked me up bridal style and dashed onto the platform.

When we got to the top there was a small seating area for us.

"This place was made by Cloud Retainer, and she let us use it. She even went through the trouble of making another connected island for our picnic."

"Oh so we're having a picnic ?"

"......... Forget I said anything and act surprised when we get there."

I chuckle at his embarrassment "Sure sure."

Xiao steps on a rock near the edge of the island and suddenly a light bridge emerges from the ground leading to another island with our little picnic set up on.

"Uh Xiao... are you sure I can step on this without falling ?"

"Of course, love, or would you like me to carry you again ?"

"Carry please."

"Hehe, anything for you, dear."

He smiles at me and rests his forehead against mine. Giving a small kiss oh the top of my head before carrying me over the light bridge and setting me down on a picnic blanket.

"Wow a picnic ?! I never expected this ! I love it Xiao."

He smiles at me.

"Thanks for pretending at least, and I'm glad you love it, I wasn't sure if you'd enjoy it and I only want you to have the best."

"Don't worry, it's great ! Kinda chilly up here though and I might fall off..."

Suddenly guard rails appear on the side of the island and I hear Cloud Retainers voice say

"One has got you, homie . . . . . Did one use the word homie correctly ?"

"Yes, yes you did."

"One is pleased. One has been studying human slang so one is very happy to have understood some of this outlandish slang."

"Hehe, whatever you slay Cloud Retainer."

"One wishes the both of you enjoy your date. One must leave now. Goodbye."

"Thanks Cloud Retainer !"

Xiao opens up a bag next to him and hands me a blanket.

"Here."

I take it and drape it over my body.

"Smells like Xiao..."

"... Thanks ?"

"I didn't mean to say that out loud."

Xiao chuckles and after a few more minutes of talking and laughing we eat the food Xiao bought us. There was a moment where we just stared into each other's eyes and lemme tell you, it was absolutely magical.

This day feels so special. And I'm glad to have spent it with Xiao. This man has made me the happiest I have ever been in my life.

Well, he's also made me feel the saddest in my life but HAPPINESS OVERPOWERS SADNESS.

We talk for a while more as we eat and we're both enjoying ourselves. Eventually, the sun started to set and Xiao decided to get under the blanket with me. I rest my head on his shoulder as the sun slowly sets.

When the sun is no longer visible and the moon was hanging above our heads, candles lit up around our picnic table and I hear Xiao whisper.

"That was my idea I told Cloud Retainer to implement."

He looked so proud of himself... like, how could I not kiss him ?

So I went closer to his face and he closed the gap between us, locking our lips together in a swift motion.

After a while we backed away from each other, both of our faces burning red with passion and love.

We decide it was about time to go home so we cleaned up and Xiao dashed back to the harbor with me in his hands.

We went inside our house and left our things by the door step, completely exhausted we ran into the bedroom and I flopped face down on to the bed.

I turned over to se Xiao above me, hands and legs on either side of my body.

"I love you."

He leans down and kisses me before getting off of me and falling asleep.

"Goodnight, sweet prince."
