ORIGINALLY FROM MY TIKTOK BUT REWORKED IT!
He's deathly afraid of losing you in any way, shape or form and that includes you dying. He doesn't want to lose you, no matter what, so he's EXTREMELY protective of you. He's always ready to fight for you and will always appear when you speak his name, it doesn't matter how you say it, you could whisper his name or shout it from the rooftops and he'd appear, though it always catches you off guard. He always says "You called, my love?"
Sometimes you two will both watch the sky in comfortable silence and he would NEVER admit it, but he loves it when you doze off and rest your head on his shoulder, he becomes hyper aware of the area and his protective vibe amplifies.
One day, you told Xiao that you were going to Dihua Marsh to just go outside and Xiao trusted you, so he nods. "Alright. Be careful and speak my name if something unexpected happens. I'll have my Jade Spear ready to protect you." You nod and happily walk outside with no destination in mind. After walking, you see a bush of Silk Flowers and you walk towards it and start to walk towards the bush and reach towards the flowers. You look directly in front of you, making the realization that you wandered into a Treasure Hoarder camp without even knowing it!
You remain still, but little did you know that Xiao was nearby, watching you from the shadows. He grips onto his Jade Spear and his eyes glow (ngl that would be horrifying if I saw that irl) brightly. He continues to observe you as one of the Treasure Hoarders sees you, a person who accidentally wandered into a Treasure Hoarder campsite. "What do you think you're doing, wandering into our campsite like this? Are you looking for a fight?" One of them asks.
You gasp and shake your head worriedly. "I-I don't want to cause any trouble! I just saw these Silk Flowers and I wanted to pick them for my-" You start to say and the Treasure Hoarder looks at you and immediately cuts you off. "Tch, likely story. Have a little taste of what happens when you infiltrate our campsite." They raise their shovel at you and you gasp and immediately shout his name and the Treasure Hoarder laughs. "Shouting for him? He doesn't answer for just anybody, y'know. He wouldn't appear for just some random-" Xiao appears and looks at the Treasure Hoarders. "You called, Y/N." Xiao says as he looks at you for any visible injuries. Once he sees that you have none, all he has to do is just... glare at them menacingly with his glowing eyes and they get absolutely scared, fleeing instantly (lmao).
What I imagine Xiao would look like if his eyes were glowing. (Credit to genshinimpactxd1650 on TT!)
Xiao hates to see you upset, so he makes a reminder to "take care" of them at night when you're in Wangshu Inn as safe as can be. "I'm glad to see that you're alright. Why would they approach you?" He asks as he cautiously watches you. You shrug. "I'm not sure, but I just want to go home..." Xiao looks at you, still slightly spooked and holds your hand, rubbing his thumb over your knuckles, his way of saying "everything's okay, you're with me and I will keep you safe, my love".
Night eventually approaches and you calm down, remembering that Xiao has to go and protect Liyue at night. "Duty calls, my love, stay here and rest for the night, I'll be back before you know it. Rest well." He lightly kisses your forehead and catches one last glimpse of you before quietly heading out, first targets are the Treasure Hoarders that belittled you today. Xiao explores the area and quickly finds the treasure hoarders, they stick out like a sore thumb because most Treasure Hoarders aren't dumb enough to exist near Wangshu Inn if they value their life.
Xiao's eyes do that glowing thing again upon recognition. The Treasure Hoarders see a specific spear glowing in the moonlight and they turn around, only to see glowing eyes and the Jade Spear. "Hey there, you two seem familiar, it's a pleasure to run into you both again. Do you recognize me? You threatened my beloved earlier today. An unwise move."
Before they can respond, Xiao basically does his Elemental Burst and they go silent IMMEDIATELY.
"This wouldn't have have happened if they didn't threaten Y/N like that."
