childe would never let himself show outright how much he missed you, even if he had truly been longing for your presence in the past few days counting down to the date of your return—that's his pride, as childish as that sounded.
heh. childe. childish.
so he did what he does best—taunt you.
he chuckled when he spotted you dashing to his direction, uncaring of the attention you were beginning to attract due to your strange behavior. he found that a little cute, admittedly.
“aww, did you miss me that much, [name]? you look excited to see m- oof-”
his cooing came to a halt when you leapt into his arms, paying no heed to his teasing. his arms instinctively wrapped around your waist to carry your weight, blue eyes widened in (pleasant) surprise, and he surely wasn't mistaken when he heard you sigh in satisfaction.
“i'm home,” you muttered into his ear, blissfully oblivious to the red hue coloring his cheeks since you buried your face into his neck, and he was terribly grateful for it.
the small remark sparked something in him, a wonderful mix of relief and joy, and he relented, peeling off his mask of composure.
“welcome back,” he replied, tone light and loving as he tightened his embrace—sure to not let go anytime soon, even if you had pleaded him for it.
diluc
he was getting antsy.
diluc paced back and forth right in the middle of mondstadt's entrance, restless for your much awaited arrival. you came later than he expected, and despite his insistence to not think about it too deeply, the endless possibilities flooded through his brain regardless.
were you interrupted with something? the job was harder so you took more time to finish it? or were you perhaps...
he cut off that line of thought; he knew better than anyone you were stronger than you looked.
still, that didn't dull the sharp prick of worry seeping into his gut. strong as you were, by any chance your opponent was stronger, then-
“diluc!”
his head shot up in alarm, hurriedly searching for the source of your voice—and there you were, with a large smile on your face, waving at him excitedly.
you were undeniably disheveled, dirt marring your skin and clothes torn at the edges.
yet you were just as beautiful as he remembered.
without wasting time to think, he sped towards you, earning curious glances of nearby townspeople. you giggled at his fast reaction, meaning to open your mouth to say your greetings, but he had pulled you into his chest and sealed your lips with his before then.
the gasp that followed wasn't only yours; the onlookers were visibly shocked by the brave display of affection coming from your lover. diluc was a private person who kept his personal affairs to himself, and this might had been the first time they've seen him act so... vulnerable.
“d-diluc?” you called out when you parted lips, immediately crushed to a tight hug right after.
“sorry,” he murmured, relishing in your warmth. “just a little longer. please.”
xiao
it was the first time you had ventured so far beyond liyue, so you expected xiao to be a little worried about you, if not very anxious—he should be at least slightly distressed from your short leave, right?
but that didn't seem to be the case, you realized once you stepped back into your hometown.
“you're back,” xiao stated matter-of-factly, lacking any traces of relief in both his expression and his voice. the indifference made your heart clench painfully, but you dared not to let it show and instead displayed an innocent smile.
“yeah, i am.”
even he could tell something was wrong with your lackluster response. he opened his mouth, hesitant, but then he heard loud footfalls quickly rushing near you, and he was forced to vanish in a instant, in fear of being seen.
“welcome back, [name]!” the townspeople greeted warmly, much unlike your boyfriend, and you felt hurt all over again.
still, you put up a cheerful front. “i'm back!”
thus, you received an invitation to have lunch with everyone. you couldn't find a reasonable excuse to refuse, so you complied, thinking it would be a harmless offer.
oh, how wrong you were. you kept being pulled back in whenever you tried to leave, because they all wanted to talk to you regarding your recent travels.
you were getting more nervous with each passing second. was it really alright to ignore your lover for this long? though you did enjoy spending time with everyone else, you wanted to see him again.
“hey, it's getting late. could i... leave early? i'm really exhausted,” you said, smiling apologetically at your neighbors while you fumbled with your fingers.
“of course, of course! it's only natural to be tired after a journey. sorry for holding you up.”
“come to my home when you're well-rested, okay? i want to hear about everything you did!”
“see you later, [name]!”
“see you later!” you waved at them farewell before hurriedly rushing to your home, where you assumed xiao would be.
“hm? he's not here... maybe he'll visit later?” you mumbled, looking around the empty house. “might as well clean this place before then.”
you took off your shoes, starting to take off your garments to change into new clothes, when a sudden force knocked you into your bed.
you landed softly with a small groan, cracking an eye open to assess your surroundings. you were met with the sight of xiao himself, sharp amber eyes gleaming under the dim lighting of your room.
“you're late,” he remarked, in the same tone he's always used, but now it had some bite to it. he had his elbows propped up on either side of your head to keep himself upright, hovering above your body with an air of authority, and making you rather... nervous under his gaze.
you blinked, unsure of where to put your hands. “oh... yes, that's because... they really didn't want me to leave...” you brokenly replied, flustered at the close proximity between your faces. “um... sorry?”
that didn't seem to be the answer he wanted to hear.
his eye twitched, narrowing in distaste, and his lips were pressed firmly into a deep frown. it was notably more expressive than the face he makes on default, and you wondered if he was genuinely upset.
why would he be? he seemed perfectly fine earlier that afternoon.
“uh... i brought some food with me from the place i came from?” you suggested, thinking it could improve his souring mood. you gently placed a hand on his chest to push him away so you could sit up. “let me just go get it-”
“no.”
he pushed you back down, inching even closer than last time. releasing an embarrassing squeak, you attempted to shuffle away, but his steely glare stopped you from doing so. you were a hair's breadth away from each other, and the thought made you flush to a deep red hue.
“x-xiao?”
“you returned later than you said you would,” he practically growled, grabbing the hand you laid on his chest.
indeed, you took three more days than your expected arrival. “o-oh... i'm really sorry about that...?”
his glare hardened even more. “and you took so long outside.”
“...that is...” you avoided his eyes, goosebumps littering your flesh. somehow, you felt the need to cover up despite being fully clothed. “true...”
“so, then...” he ran his hand through your hair, tilting your head to make you stare at him directly. “do you plan on making me wait longer?”
“w-wait longer- that's-” you stammered, feeling a sense of foreboding. “w-what does that mean...?”
“it means,” he huffed exasperatedly, “because you made me wait, you're not getting away until i'm satisfied.”
he swallowed your gasp with a kiss, leaving you breathless under his mercy.
and such was the start of his onslaught of kisses, greedy and insatiable, and safe to say he wouldn't let you go soon.

Alright, since @jughead-is-canonically-aroace asked me to explain this post too, I’ll try my best-
First, if you haven’t yet, I recommend you read https://bunnyapocalips.tumblr.com/post/641584251238809600/ill-try-to-keep-this-as-simple-as-possible-so-if “my” previous post, this should get you mostly up to speed even if you know next-to-nothing about stonks. It’s not 100% accurate for the sake of simplification, and the post I replied to has some inaccuracies, but it’ll get the job done.
Maximum ultra TL;DR at the top because I was asked to include those:
When everything is going right, all shares that are available on the market were directly issued by the company (in this case Gamestop) at some point, most commonly when they first became publicly traded. If the data in the reddit point is even close to accurate, there are FAR more shares on the market than should legally exist. Someone’s been printing fake shares.
This in all honesty is a lot more complicated than the “regular” stock market, so I’ll try to break it down as best as possible, but, you know.
So, coming back to naked shorts from the explanation I linked earlier: How do those even happen?
Someone borrows a share, sells it to someone else, then buys another one back later to give it to the person originally borrowed from. That’s a regular short.
In a naked short, you sell the share first, then only afterwards even try to find one to borrow (-that you already sold at this point), and you’re never buying one to “give back”, as there never was a person you borrowed from.
How does this happen? Nepotism!
(Graphic from: http://counterfeitingstock.com/CS2.0/CounterfeitingStock.html )
(Image ID: At the bottom is a box labeled DTCC, it has arrows going out to boxes labeled Prime Broker A & Prime Broker B, those two boxes have more arrows going out to Customer A-1, A-2, B1-, and B-2)
In the USA, the entity presiding over all stock sales & keeping track of who owns what is the DTCC. The DTCC is a privately owned company.
The Primer Brokers are those 10-or-so companies that are officially licensed to sell actual stocks, the biggest of the big fish - if you ever buy a stock from a small company like RobinHood, chances are that the actual purchasing and transfer happens on the Prime Broker level, RobinHood just holds the information & gets a commission for enabling the sale.
Examples for Prime Brokers are Goldman Sachs; Merrill Lynch; Citigroup; Morgan Stanley; Bear Stearns - companies you’ve likely heard parodied or dunked on in media, they just make good “Evil Corporations behind everything” (because they are.)
Now, I mentioned that the DTCC is privately owned. Owned by whom?
: )
Owned by the Prime Brokers.
Can you already see where this is going?
The people **actually** owning, buying & selling shares are the Prime Brokers. The company that keeps track of transactions… is also owned by the Prime Brokers. The DTCC fights tooth and nail against any attempt to obtain information on its records or how it is run, subpoena or not.
How it works:
Customer A-1 wants to buy a share, Customer A-2 wants to sell a share.
The Prime Broker sells a share to Customer A-1, and buys it from A-2.
The net amount of shares in the market stays the same.
At the end of the day, the Primer Broker sends a list of all transactions to the DTCC - in theory, the number of shares should always be the same, since if someone buys, someone has to sell, right?
Now shorts enter the market. Prime Broker A wants to short a company. It sells a “””borrowed””” share to Customer A-2. It then tries its absolute “”””hardest”””” to look for a suitable share to borrow after the fact. But damn, these record halls are really dusty, oh well, can’t find one at the moment. - But Customer A-2 still paid for a share, after all. So to protect Customer A-2, the transaction is still considered valid, even after Prime Broker A Failed-To-Deliver the borrowed share.
The record of this transaction is only sent to the DTCC at the end of the day.
Ah damn, well we already closed the office lads, and A-2 did pay for it, so guess we can’t really do anything, sorry, our hands are tied, we directly lobbied for the legislation that tied our hands in this situation, truly sorry.
The net amount of shares in the market increases by +1.
There is now a counterfeit stock on the market. But A-2 did pay for it, and we wouldn’t EVER strip a paying customer of their deserved products, Wallstreet never fucks you over.
There’s been various amounts of legislation to try to stop this, mostly in 2005 and 2008 after VW respectively, but all they really did was cause the big guys to use other loopholes. The practice of naked shorting & counterfeiting shares (which are usually one and the same) is still very much alive.
Which leads us back to gamestop, and the reddit post above.
The SEC, ineffective as it might be, at least.. well no it doesn’t really try. But it does keep some data around. Namely, it keeps a list of companies that had a lot of failed-to-deliver shares - so what I described earlier. Note that all the shares are still considered valid, since they were paid for with real money, but they’re fake - they were never issued by the company.
Leading us to this graph:
A “regular” company that is being illegally shorted might have a few thousand failed-to-deliver shares a month.
To quote the reddit thread:
“For example, two random companies: Lowes ($LOW, ~$125B market cap) had 13,960 shares fail to be delivered at its highest point that month, Boston Beer Company ($SAM, $11.5B market cap) had 295 shares fail to be delivered.How many shares of GME failed to deliver? 1,787,191.”
1,787,191 counterfeited shares. GameStop only issued 72 Million shares ever. Almost 2 million shares were counterfeited in December alone. Remember that all this really blew up in January.
The thread then goes on to spitball some math and guesstimates, but even with the hard numbers we have from the SEC - an absolutely exceptional number of shares, higher than effectively any other company, are counterfeited, and used explicitly to short the company.
This means that the Big Funds have not only been trying to drive the company to ruin for years, they’ve counterfeited an incredible amount of shares that should not exist to do so. This is a level of crime on exactly the same level as printing counterfeit cash.
The only one that would know the actual numbers is the DTCC, owned by the very same companies creating the “fake” shares & using them to short GameStop in the first place, so barring some truly exceptional circumstances it is unlikely that we will ever know the full extent.
But these are exceptional circumstances. The Mainstream Media, very clearly in the pocket of Wallstreet (Shoutout (derogative) to CNBC here, honorary mentions to Bloomberg), is trying its absolut hardest to get people to sell, to downplay the extent of what is happening here. And now we, possibly, know why. Because THIS is so unbelievably illegal that all the also incredibly illegal things that have already happened are basically peanuts in comparison. (Anyone reminded of, you know, the last few years?)
So there you have it! The GameStop hole is even more illegal and worrying than we could have ever assumed, because it’s looking like there are far more than 100% of legitimately issued shares in circulation, and still there are more shorts (120%) than those shares can account for.
In theory, this just went from “Hedgefunds bleed and Bankers have to sell their third house” to “Half of Wallstreet goes to jail and the fundamental structure of the US stock market gets restructured with the DTCC broken up or converted into a federal institute” (This is just my, european, hope for what should happen.)
This topic is honestly VERY complicated and somewhat intentionally inaccessible, but if you want to know more, I do recommend reading http://counterfeitingstock.com/CS2.0/CounterfeitingStock.html and just trying to wrap your head around it.
Reblogging it again in an attempt to get it to show up in the notes. Sorry.
