[ ur pov!? ]
After around three weeks, both Xiao and I are pretty close to finishing this project, but we still need to do two more archons. The god of Inazuma, and the God of Fontaine.
I continue working on the project, exhausted. Currently, I'm working on the project in my room, classes ended today already, so I'm using some of my extra time to finish it at my house, but I can't help but feel really tired.
I continue to push through, until I received a text.
It was from Xiao.
Putting all my notes and computer aside, I take out my phone, texting him back.

Quickly getting up, I put my computer, pencil case, and notes in my school bag. I also quickly go into my closet. I shouldn't wear something to formal, since we're just gonna work on our project.
First, I put on a long sleeve white shirt, which looked pretty cute. I also put on some shorts, and a jean skirt. After, I put on some white socks, and my converses. I also wrap a cute necklace around my neck, along with a crystalfly hairclip.

After, I fix my hair into my favorite hairstyle, then suddenly, I hear a knock from downstairs. I quickly grab my school bag with my laptop, notes, pencil case, and my waterbottle. I also grab my keys and phone.
I swing my bedroom door open, running downstairs. The knocking continues, as I trip and fall on the last step of my staircase. I land on my bag, my keys and phone flying to the door. A loud thud was heard, from both me falling, and my phone and keys.
" Y/N, did you fall? Are you okay? " Xiao asked. " I.. yeah.. " I get up, yawning. As I grab my bag, and my keys, my phone somehow didn't appear to have any cracks in it, it didn't break at all when it went flying to the door.
As i open the door, I yawn again. " Are you tired? " He asks, while I locked my front door. " What? Me?? Tired??? Nope! " I manage a smile, while he looked at my suspiciously.
Soon, we both just began walking to his house, while my walking pace was a little slower then usual. " Hey.. you're walking to fast.. " I mumble. Xiao slowed his walking pace, while I caught up with him.
As we finally reached his house, he opened the door, only to be greeted by Zhongli. " Hello, you two, I assume Y/N's here to help work on your project, is she not? " He asks, holding a half empty cup of tea.
" Yes, she is. I'll go up to my room now, see you later.. dad. " Xiao waves to Zhongli, while he leaded me upstairs to his room. As he opened his door, I plopped my bag on the floor, grabbing a pencil from my pencil case, my notes, laptop, and my waterbottle.
As he cleaned off his desk, I looked around in his room. It seemed a little different, there were plants in here. There was also a lot of books scattered everywhere. It was a little cluttered in here, but it was still really pretty.

As I continued admiring his unique room, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. " We can work at my desk, I have a extra seat for you. " He said, as he pulled up another chair to his desk.
As I sat down, he did too. I put my computer beside his, his was open. As I quickly logged in, I yawned again. Looking at his shelf above his desk, I noticed a cute plushie. I saw a original beanie baby halo plushie, how adorable!!
Soon, we were researching about the God of Inazuma, and putting the information on the slide. Soon after, we both began working on the last one, the God of Fontaine.
Around ten minutes into researching about the God of Fontaine, I felt my body feeling weak and tired. I yawned, suddenly typing slower then before. Xiao noticed this, as he look over at me.
" Did you get any sleep? " He asks. " Yes.. yes of - " I pause, yawning again. Xiao gets up from his chair, and shuts off his laptop, sitting on his bed. He looks up at me, tapping his legs.
" Sleep. " He mumbles. I walk over to him and his bed, sitting in his lap. He straightens his legs, while I felt my heart beating fast. " Just relax. " He whispers. " But.. the project..! " I slightly stutter.
" We can work on it at school, so sleep. " He replies. I still felt my heart racing, butterflies in my stomach. Xiao rests his back on the wall behind him, while wrapping both of his arms around me.
I could feel his heart beating faster aswell, we were really close. " Would you like me to sing you something..? " He asks, softly caressing my hand. " I.. forgot you could sing.. yeah, sure.. " A smile manages to make its way to my face.
Xiao clears his throat, singing softly, and calmly.

" Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end..
Sun digs its heels to taunt you,
But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same,
Rises the moon..~ "
" Days fade into a watercolour blur,
memories swim and haunt you.
But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke,
Rises the moon.. "
" Oh - oh, close your weary eyes..
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
to darken fading summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe.. "
" Days pull you down just like a sinking ship,
floating is getting harder.
But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile;
Rises the moon.. "
" Days pull you up just like a daffodil,
uprooted from its garden.
They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so,
Rises the moon.. "
" You'll be visited by sleep,
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
to steal away each dream you keep.
Breathe, breathe, breathe.. "

As he finally finished, I just felt my eyes closing, my heart still beating fast. Xiao brushed my H/L hair with his fingers, while I just continued to fall asleep. Soon, I was out like a bug, my vision becoming nothing but a void.
A void where I could imagine anything I please, with the soft accompany of both mines and Xiao's heartbeats.
(人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+
Slowly opening my eyes, I feel Xiao's presence behind me. His arms were still wrapped around me, only, his eyes were closed. I suddenly had a warm - like feeling in both my chest, and my stomach. My heartbeat felt a lot louder, and faster.
I fell asleep on him!
Panicking, I slowly try to unravel myself out of his arms. I would like to continue working on the project now, but at the same time, I really like the warmth Xiao's arms give me..
Still trying to unravel myself from his arms, he slowly wakes up. He yawns, before realizing he too had fallen asleep. " Y/N.. apologies for sleeping.. " He looks away. I just look a little surprized. As I turn myself around on his bed, I look up at him.
His eyes were sparkling.
I could see his cheeks turning red, and how hot they were getting. I could sense how fast his heart was beating, how fast mines was. As my face began getting closer and closer to his, he finally realized what I was doing.
I closed my eyes, as he did too. I felt a sudden pull, my lips meeting his once more. As if time could just stop at this very moment. All I tasted was Almond tofu. Both of my hands shifted to his waist.
One of his hands were slightly touching my cheek, while the other was lifting my chin up. A few seconds later, we both pulled away. I felt butterflies in my stomach. This kiss felt like.. our first one on Xiao's birthday.
Xiao's face was red. I could hear his heart pounding even harder, while I could taste some Almond Tofu in my mouth.
" Strawberries.. I love the taste of.. strawberries whenever I kiss you. " He mumbled shyly. " We should finish this project now, we gotta present tomorrow. " I smile. I get off his bed, while he followed.
I checked the time. 6:12pm. I've been here for 2 hours now.
" Oh wait! I think we just have to put the information onto this slide, then we're done! " I smile, sitting back down. Xiao stretched, before sitting down aswell.
(人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+
" Xiao and Y/N, why don't you two go next? " Mrs. Ningguang asks. I nod, holding Xiao's hand. Xiao quickly grabs my laptop, while I leaded him to the front of the classroom.
I quickly opened up my slideshow app, plugging in the projector into my laptop. Finally, I show the first slideshow. " Archons are like gods, and each of them wield a different elemental power. All seven gods protect each of their respective element. " I continue.
" Hydro, Pryo, Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, and Cryo. "
As we both continue discussing about each Archon, I felt myself feeling less nervous then last time. We both went through each slideshow and information like a breeze. Soon, we were at the last two slides.
" Finally, Barbato's, the Archon of Mondstadt, and freedom. It is said he's the most weakest out of the seven since he is lazy for his duty of protecting Mondstadt, but I don't exactly believe that. " I continue.
" Some believe he's the God of death, since freedom is quite simular to death. However, I'm getting off - topic. " I smile, before letting Xiao continue.
" Barbato's had another identity to walk the grounds of Mondstadt, Venti. " He continues to go on, and on about his other identity, and his duties.
Soon, I take over. " Venti, also known as Barbato's soon fell in love with a Traveler from another world. Her name was Lumine, but she changed her name to not arise suspicious, and to keep her original identity a secret. " I continue. " The both soon fell in love, but it was hard for the both of them to talk to eachother at all after Lumine left Mondstadt, since Lumine was a Traveler, and her goal being to travel to all seven regions of Teyvat to reunite with her brother, Aether. "
" Soon after, both Lumine and Aether finally reunited. After traveling world - to - world for centuries, both siblings finally found their home, here, in Teyvat. "
" Lumine and Venti continued to fall more and more in love, but then something happened. That's all we know. After, it was disaster. " I finally finish.
As I closed my laptop, and unplugged my laptop from the projector, everyone clapped. Xiao and I bowed. " Quite wonderful, you too! Normally, we don't cover their love life's, but that was quite interesting. The way you approached it, and the way you described it! " Mrs. Ningguang smiled.
Soon, both Xiao and I returned to our seats, listening to everyone else present.
(人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+
As I walked out of class, I heard someone run up from behind me. Xiao was at my side, and heard it too. Xiao turned around, seeing Hu Tao run up from behind me, and hug me tightly.
She giggled, before letting go. Lumine was behind her, while Chongyun, Xingqiu, and Venti were on the end of the hallway on my left. " Aiya aiya, you both did amazing! " She rested both hands on her waist.
" Aw thank you Hu!! " I smile. Hu Tao smiled back, while Chongyun, Xingqiu, and Venti met up with us.
As we all walk outside, the moon was slightly visible. " How'd your presentations go, you guys? " Chongyun asked, while Xingqiu was reading a book he randomly pulled out of his bag.
" Tartagila and I did okay, though he kept flirting with me.. " Lumine sighs. " Me and Itto were amazing! He was super funny, but super dumb. " Hu Tao continues. " Oh, and Xiao and Y/N were amazing! It's like they were made for eachother! " Hu Tao grinned.
I gave Hu Tao a death stare, before continuing to walk. I saw Xiao on my left, crossing his arms per usual. " Hey, Xiao, wanna go to the Cat Cafe later? " I ask, while the rest of the group was way up ahead.
Xiao's eyes sparkled, and nodded.
" were going at five then, see you! " I say, before running to my street.
