#violet edition

the wind seemed to always settle down when xiao was around.

the wind settled suddenly, a stark contrast from its previous state, the current windstorm that assaulted the inn was gone in minutes- the hint to the arrival of a certain yaksha. you continued to work in your room, editing files and documents before bringing them to their desired owners.

"mondstadts alchemist seems to have gotten ahead of himself." xiaos voice broke through your concentration, the sound of a body collapsing on your bed followed quickly, a small groan of pain muffled in the fluffy blankets.

you turned around, shooting up from your seat once you noticed the crimson stains on xiaos body, leaking into the sheets and pooling to the floor.

"what was it this time." your shock was evident, rushing over to your bedside to grab the small case containing medical supplies, summoning a catalyst as you moved to the yakshas side.

"roll over, your chest seems to have gotten the worst of it." you heaved out, pushing the dead weight that didn't seem to feel like assisting you, your eyes caught sight of the large gash that opened his skin horizontally. red and irritated, the sides puffed up with a deep maroon shining with blood, a quick indication that there was venom or something of the sort attacking the wound, a small touch made the heat emanating from it leaving you worried as xiao hissed in pain.

"that hurts, you know." his eyes rolled over to you, watching at your catalyst started to glow with the light of your dendro vision, a comforting green emanating onto your skin. you continued your work, ignoring his comment and deciding to do your best with your vision, before using your kit as a last line of defense. worst comes to worst, you can manage to get a summons with madam ping to fix what you can't.

"green is your color." he starts, your eyebrow rose a bit, the comment wasn't in his nature. xiao didn't exactly give compliments freely... or have such an airy tone when speaking.

"shame you didn't get an anemo vision. would have suited you better," he continued, eyes closed as he feels the wound on his chest mending, a comfortable and soothing warmth soaked into his skin.

"seeing you free is a beautiful sight. the teal of anemo would compliment you even more..." he sighs, the sealing of his wound made it much more shallow than it was before.

"xiao, what did you fight? you aren't speaking like yourself." you wanted to understand what exactly is making him say these things, the flush of heat on your face made you feel dizzy, his words hitting a softer side to your heart.

"speaking like myself? i speak perfectly fine, these are my thoughts. i don't know why they keep coming out like this though. i can't control it... exactly." his face is a bright shade of red, dull golden eyes were wide and panicked, looking you over with a sense of urgency. he feared this would be the end of one of the few relationships he has left, that he's overstepped a boundary.

"you won't leave me, right? i'm sorry if i've overstepped, but please dont..don't... leave me." his voice is shaky, a broken whisper as a hand goes to wrap around your wrist gently, your palm open to allow your catalyst to hover above your hand. you softened your gaze at him, your free hand going to the one gripping your wrist before pulling it off, holding it softly as you thumbed his palm.

"no, i won't leave you." you sighed, closing his wound before going to the shallower gashes on his stomach, keeping an eye on his skin as it closed up with the envious color. the words leave him so effortlessly, and you realize the venom or poison that irritated his wound must have affected his mind, leaving him to speak his mind freely, without restraint.

"but, I need you to tell me what you fought. you mentioned albedo? did he attack you?" your voice was quiet as to not overwhelm him, moving your free hand from his to push his hair from his face, taking his hand back once again.

"no. the cryo flowers had a golden hue, and the flower pattern that belongs to him. experiments maybe. they're quite strong. I'm sorry if I've worried you."

"no, no you didn't worry too bad. but I don't think he was experimenting on the flowers either. i'll send a message to the knights, but on a more pressing matter, how are you feeling now?" you had finished his stomach, moving to his shoulders, fatigue taking a small toll on you as you yawned.

"better. you always make me better. thank you." he gives a small smile, and you give him one back.

"it's no issue. i do this because i care for you xiao." you smiled, watching his face flare up at your words, unable to hide the truth from you.

"really?"

"really."

a comfortable silence fills the air, and you take the hint that xiao is done talking, his body haven gotten a bit more tender from how he was before.

it wasn't long before xiao spoke up again.

Violet trying to be with him right now would be pretty hurtful all around considering that SecretBoyfriendTM that she has.

Oh, you’re not wrong! Trust me, I’m right there with you, but Violet is awful- and we’re just getting started.

Oh girl, I know.

I know Veri was kind of an idiot sandwich as a teen but I think Violet has her beat by a long shot

I like to think of Violet like a hurricane- but now she’s just a tropical storm. Come the end of her gen, full on hurricane. It’s only gonna get worse, and she’s hellbent on self-destruction on a much higher level than Veri.

They just got their friendship back, dont ruin it now.

Very true, but.... feelings. They’re both playing with fire, but who knows when/if/how they’ll get burnt.

I wish I could say it’s gonna get better, but Violet is complicated.

I feel the same way, ya’ll. She being dumb.
