Hello! Ive never asked anything outside of anon so, forgive me if i come out as odd ^^;;
So, how about some headcanons about albedo and xiao (separately) with thier s/o who has lost their glasses and can't see? Aha, i imagine xiao being overly cautious of everything while albedo holds your hand while you walk ^^
Albedo and Xiao ;; with an s/o who lost their glasses
I love this request sm,,,, thank you! I hope you don’t mind me adding little drabbles for them :,)
On the off chance you lose your glasses, Albedo doesn’t mind avoiding his work for the day to assist you.
He’ll hold your hand and guide you around, handing you things you need, etc.
He might even take the day off to help you find them... sometimes you wonder if they go missing on purpose so he has an excuse to get away from his alchemy students.
He’s keeping a careful eye on you as you use your hands to navigate around, making sure you don’t hurt yourself. If you need to leave the house, he goes with you to make sure you stay safe and can get what you need to be done, done.
You awoke with a hum, stretching as you reached for your glasses. Normally, they rested on a small table next to your’s and Albedo’s shared bed, but... they weren’t there. You sat up and squinted, looking at the nightstand to see if you had just missed them. You leaned over the edge of the bed - maybe they had fallen overnight. Nothing. The stirring woke up the sleepy alchemist next to you, and he plopped his head on your shoulder. “What is it, my love?” He inquired, feeling the tenseness in your shoulders.
“I lost my glasses.” You answered, feeling around other parts of the desk. Albedo hummed into the crook of your neck before sitting up himself, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes as he helped you look.
You two spent the morning looking for those darn glasses with no success. Eventually, you gave up yourself, flipping back into the bad and covering your face with your hands as you groaned. You’d never be able to get your errands done without them. Albedo had kept looking, using his blessed clear eyesight to search for the frames. He checked the bathroom, around the bed, in the drawers, the kitchen... they were nowhere to be found. The ashy blonde returned to the bedroom with a proposition. He offered to help you run your errands, and leave his students under the careful watch of Sucrose. You felt bad, but.. it was more time with him. He held your hand as you walked through the streets of mondstadt, guiding you along as you run your daily errands.
While Xiao protected the lands of Dihua Marsh from evil spirits, you helped out the people of Wangshu Inn with their commissions and errands.
Sometimes, you took them from the adventurers guild in Liyue Harbor, and those were the ones that often ran long and were more dangerous. And Xiao had told you, if you ever need him, to call out his name and he will be there.
You have never lost your glasses before, you’re usually always very careful with them since losing them would be a major disadvantage during your tasks.
When you do, Xiao is very worried and hovers around you until you find them - like a ,,mother hen” - making sure you don’t hurt yourself or fall.
Xiao usually spent his nights out on the balcony of Wangshu Inn, looking out over the nightly landscape of Dihua Marsh and the fading lights of Liyue Harbor in the distance. You’re usually back by now.. what could’ve held you up? He tries not to worry, he knows you would’ve called him if you needed help... so hearing his own name being called along the whisper of the night breeze is a scare for him. Even more so when he realizes it’s your voice he’s hearing.
He’s gone from the balcony in a heartbeat, disappearing and reappearing next to you in a plume of black smoke. Without your glasses, you couldn’t tell the odd smog was Xiao, and it startled you. You screamed, but the familiar colors of Xiao’s clothing calmed you back down.
“ARCHONS, Xiao, you scared me half to de-“
Your words died in your mouth as you were cut off by Xiao’s worried words and actions.
“Where’s the danger ?? Are you hurt ?? Why did you call ?? What held you up so long ?? Wh.. where are your glasses?” He spoke, tilting his head as he turned his attention to you and looked. He had been in such a state of disarray he thought your calling had been because you needed help in a fight, not help getting home.
“I lost them while fighting some hilichurls and ran. I don’t know where I am or where the inn is, so I called you to help.” You murmured, almost embarrassed about losing them. Xiao sighed. Not in disappointment, no, but in relief. You weren’t hurt, and you were safe. Although, maybe a little muddy. You must’ve been fighting near water.
“Come then, I’ll take you back to the inn.”
Thank you for reading!
