#xiaolung

xiaolung: i was kidnapped as a child and essentially tortured until i believed my sole purpose in life was to protect some rich guys daughter and now i believe i am in love with said daughter (totally not Stockholm syndrome)

Samuel : my so-called friend who promised to never leave my side despite witnessing how cruel and violent i could become, actually manipulated my trauma and desire for approval to get me to do whatever he wanted, and was a massive dickhead in general

Xiaolung : a billionaire sicko exploited me and several other unregistered refugee children and made us fight to death to become worthy of protecting his family. my stockholm syndrome is so bad that i think of his daughter as a literal goddess. my worth as a human being is centred around my ability to protect her. i already consider myself to be dead, and my body a weapon to protect my queen. i have already mutilated myself and lost my ability to walk, all while protecting her.

xiaolung and vivi secretly dating

details: au where nothing bad happens lol

a/n: thank u for requesting ! i dont mind ship stuff but i cant say i'd be that good at it unless im into the ship myself ;;

that being said, i ship vivi and xiaolung but only under the conditions that xiaolung views himself as an equal to vivi and vivi actively becomes a better person while deeply regretting her past actions >_>

so... these headcanons will be following that guideline except nothing bad happened in the first place !

> when vivi asks xiaolung out for the first time, he completely freezes up. he then makes things angsty by trying to avoid her and saying "we can't be together because of our status" but after like a week, vivi's able to slowly put his walls down

> surprisingly (?) their relationship flows like a slow-burn romance (mainly because of xiaolung and his denial) but vivi still treats it like a cute fast paced romcom

> it's not like she's ignoring his feelings, she does her best to help make him comfortable but she's just hyper

> ex: she gets giddy a lot and enjoys the secretive glances and smiles they exchange, the way they secretly hold hands when no one's looking, or the way he plays footsie with her when she's bored during a meeting her father dragged her along to

> it's basically xiaoling going along with her nonsense and being the one to get them back into their totally-not-dating act

> subtle matching jewelry !! vivi wearing a choker with some sort of symbol and xiaolung has a matching ring to go with it!

> behind closed doors is when they can be the most intimate; lots of cuddling and vivi sitting in xiaolung's lap! also soft confessions from xiaolung <3

> as the relationship develops, vivi would eventually want to run away with xiaolung. she'd be a little sad to leave behind her spoiled lifestyle, but being with xiaolung and openly expressing their love sounds like a much better life to her

> xiaolung would feel the same, having ultimately decided that vivi was more important than the duty he had to protect her as a bodyguard; no more of that, only protecting her because he loves her as a partner
