If, and Only If || (Xiao x Reader)

十二

"Your face is red." She turned back around to see Xiao giving her a small smirk. And she turned back around the other way to fan her face even more.

'Barbatos! Give me wind to cool my face!' She pleaded. And her wish was granted when a strong gust of wind almost made her fall off the tree branch, and Xiao managed to catch her. Her hanfu hanged, as she was leaned backwards from the wind, and Xiao put a hand on her back for support. While holding onto her forearm to stop her from falling.

'What a gentleman.' She admitted. And she heard Xiao chuckle a little bit.

"You keep giving me compliments."

"I said that out loud?"

"Said what out loud?" He had a dangerous smirk, with a pretty suggesting look in his eyes.

Y/N quickly shook her head, and got back up.

"I am supposed to be the one to tease you, not you teasing me." She mumbled upset slightly, and her range of emotions going up and down. But her blush and embarrassment wouldn't settle down for her sake.

Xiao hid his small small smile, by turning his head to the left, and he squinted when he saw a green figure, along with a dark one. He got a better view.

"Barbatos. And Rex Lapis..." He muttered with a sigh.

"What?" Y/N turned to him, and saw what he saw.

The two figures flinched as they knew they were caught.

Few moments later....

"Why are you two here?" Xiao crossed his arms, with a slight scowl.

"Hey... Xiao..." Barbatos mumbled.

"Hello, Xiao. And Y/N." Morax said as well greeting the lady too.

"Hello, you two. Care to explain why you're watching us from far away? Because I sure know it is not because you were passing by."
Y/N inquired.

"Well—" Barbatos was interrupted by Morax.

"Ming had informed us, that you were out with Xiao here. So we decided to see what the two of you would be busy with."

Barbatos jabbed his side, to stop him from exposing them.

"So you were spying on us?" Xiao raised an eyebrow, in question.

"No—"

"Yes."

Barbatos jabbed him again, and Morax leaned on his side in pain. While Barbatos smiled innocently.

But the other two were not convinced.

Y/N decided to just deal with it.

"How about you join us at the tavern?" She asked, and Barbatos immediately jumped to his feet in joy. Morax wasn't sure about alcohol, much like Xiao. But didn't complain.

When she opened the door, there were already people at the counter. But there was enough chairs for four more people.

The red head looked a bit surprised to see a large amount. And 2 new guests. The blue eyepatch captain turned to look and smiled. While the cold nun had a small smile, and a questioning look at the amount of people Y/N had brought in.

"I'm back!" Y/N exclaimed.

There weren't any other guests at the moment because it was closing time. But Diluc keeps it open a little while longer for specific people. And he's not the one for picking favorites.

"Y/N!" They all exclaimed.

Okay. I lied. There's actual quite a lot of people who call her Y/N. Tee hee.
