First fanfic Y/N x Xiao AU

Should I make part 2 or not?

On a dark night in Liyue the Adeptus Xiao, guardian of the night, roamed the lonely mountains, the city was seen in the distance, it was preparing for the Lantern Rite, a sign of peace and prosperity that is celebrated every year, this was introduced by Rex Lapis to the city, making it popular in a short time, mortals and semi-adeptus prepared lanterns that they launched into the sky hoping they would reach Celestia, and her God, Rex Lapis, recently a traveler named [Y / N] arrived, she was looking for her lost brother, she tried to talk to him once but he wasn't interested, until she offered him almond tofu, his favorite food, and he agreed to talk, she told him what had happened, he couldn't believe it, Rex Lapis, his god, his father figure had died and people believed that this mortal had killed him, he couldn't believe the idiocy of the seven stars of Liyue, Rex Lapis He would never be killed by a mere mortal. He was strong and powerful, and this mortal looked at most 19 years old. A teenager couldn't kill him, that was clear. After she left, Xiao began to talk to himself. Xiao: "How could the respected Lady Ningguang believe that this mere girl killed Rex Lapis? Has money made her a fool? If this girl is lucky enough to move out of her parents' house, much less could she kill Rex Lapis." The Yaksha whispered to himself before Hu Tao, the 77th owner of the El Camino Funeral Home, came to greet him, as always. Hu Tao: "Hello, Xiao, why are you so angry? Did someone eat your almond tofu?" She emphasized the last question sarcastically, and Xia responded irritably. Xiao: "Hu Tao, this is not the time to joke around, especially when you still don't know what happened." The Yaksha responded coldly, and Hu Tao looked curious. Hu Tao: "So what happened to make you so angry? I don't think it's that bad, right?" She asked curiously, and Xiao said seriously. Xiao: "Someone killed Rex Lapis in the Rite of Descent, and they think she's a teenager who luckily knows how to take care of herself." Hu Tao responded in surprise. Hu Tao: "What happened?! How is it possible?! Who would kill Rex Lapis in the Rite of Descent?!" The agitated young woman responded, when the young Yaksha responded, trying to calm her down. Xiao: "It's unknown, but calm down. They've kept the body in the jade chamber so that no one can steal the Gnosis." The girl, a little calmer, replied. Hu Tao: "At least we know that the Gnosis won't be stolen by the Fatui." After this, the Adeptus vanished into the dark, cold night, just as quickly as he appeared. Time quickly passed, and just as rumors of the traveler being the one who killed Rex Lapis appeared, they disappeared after the brave girl faced the eleventh of the Fatui heralds, Tartaglia, and later Osial. Tartaglia had awakened and is on her way to Inazuma. Xiao missed her, since she was one of the few people who had treated him well and given him a chance. Upon hearing that she would return for the lantern rite, he cheered up.

11:30 PM. YOUR WONDERWALL AWAITS.

xiao x gn! reader, a drabble.

info: dystopian x cyberpunk au, inspiration from progenitor animation with albedo on youtube by dillongoo, the maze runner series & cyberpunk edgerunners!

tw: you are a robot here, minor mentions of injuries as well as blood loss, possible ooc xiao since this is my first time writing him, xiao is emotionally constipated, open ended.

a/n: just a random thing i thought up of while thinking late at night. very short and extremely unedited, just letting my brain run in peace. enjoy~

a normal summer day, that’s all that you were hoping for today and that is the exact opposite of what you were getting currently as you ran away from the fatui, just what was their fascination with you when you were a simple human? so utterly wrong that you were for thinking the simplest thought after being thrown out for the chip that you harbored in your neck, the code to the cure of psychosis that was hidden inside of you by one of the war generals, nahida of wisdom.

you knew that, of course, it would not be long before you were found out as a realistic human ai so you kept running until you were able to find a way to a desolate area. it was rather beautiful, still with the sun around perfectly in place between the rather teal trees. you could tell they were dying slowly, the color of the leaves were turning a slight gray. the crinkles from the leaves that you had made were too great for another person who was here with you. you hadn’t realized that another fatui soldier had snuck up on you as you pulled out your rapier, fast and quick — just as the pace of your running.

leave, begone. i don’t wish to hurt you.

a voice spoke quietly to you before it vanished instantly, it sounds as if it was all around you, like it had owned the domain that you had suddenly entered. were you safe here if it seems less deteriorating than the rest of the world? you came upon an oasis of some kind, away from the fatui at that. your inner thoughts started consuming you once you smelled the fresh air that had been contrasting to your usual murky, smoke filled air. you knew this had turned into some kind of guilty pleasure before you noticed a blade cut your cheek as somebody appeared with the knife in the grass below you.

“i knew it.” he spoke quietly before a lance appeared in his hands, the sharp end of his weapon now starting to dig into your clothes. “what are you doing here, robot? you shouldn’t be able to make it to such a place as my temple.” he glared before released his blade as you let out a small breath of relief. no paradise could be free of punishment for you somehow, right? “K0S-M0S, from the current war, i’ll ask again. what pathetic reason are you here for now?”

you managed to develop a sense of empathy over the years as you tried to come up with several possibly solutions to speak your words. finally, a sound solution to speak to a stranger came to your mind. “i come in peace to run away from the war, i’m tired of being used for the good of mankind. i seek refuge for only an hour to catch my breath.”

the forest green hair male could only chuckle slightly in pity as he swung his blade to face upward next to him. “these ai are getting smart, master zhongli was right about this much. you’ve even gained a personality at that. is that even real blood?”

you then carressed your wound at his words, had something happen to you overnight? this blood was black and perhaps, you were able to bleed finally. you became human without realizing the oil that spilled from your cheek, in shock even — the male could tell. you shook your head for a moment as you sternly look towards him, “that… wasn’t supposed to happen. though, you work for zhongli so i can only expect you have some knowledge of my existence, are you planning to report me?” you stated as you got in a ready stance for fighting.

“master zhongli faked his death several years ago in order to prevent the war from coming here and i, as his protector, have a sworn duty to get rid of outsiders. perhaps if another were here to stop you, you would have been lucky.” he stated before getting in his own ready stance, swiftly attacking… and yet it never came.

“that’s enough general alatus.” a deep voice spoke as the male had almost made a precise point, knowing exactly where each unit had their cores. you had to thank the older gentleman that had saved your life just now. “we have a contract in order to not kill (y/n), they are within safe grounds.” he stated before stepping down each step of the gold and white front of the temple with his hands behind his back as he had a good look at you.

“zhongli… what are you doing here? nahida had said to lay low but i hadn’t been aware that it was this low.” you raised an eyebrow before being knocked to the ground by this ‘general atalus’ as he hit your legs with the back of his lance, just to temporarily put you at a disadvantage.

“i believe that you being here shows enough proof of what nahida can be capable of, the outside was never where you belonged and the fatui is deadset on using you to exploit the process of psychosis quicker with that chip in your neck as well.” zhongli had try his best to give you an explanation with the best of his abilities as the god of contracts before gesturing to his knight in shining armor, “xiao, let’s give our guest a place to rest for a moment. you will be watching over them as they are re-energizing for the day.”

xiao could only sigh at the change of events in his own life to now, he sworn to zhongli that he would do anything in his power to protect the ideals that his master had given him as a goal once the war was over. once xiao wrapped your arm around his own and pulled you close, you both ended up walking up the stairs. he then realized how ineffective it would be before picking you up bridal style — to which you felt your heart beat a bit.

heart?

you had a feeling that there was more than nahida was letting on now. why was this all so realistic all of the sudden? she has too many questions to answer once you got back into the regular world. seeing as now you had a place to sleep again, you decided to take into it and sink yourself into the bed before seeing that you were being watched again.

“what are you staring at? get some rest already.” he stated before looking out towards the night sky, “zhongli said to watch over you so i’m following orders.” he kept his gaze out before you noticed it too, a code written on his neck too, A1ATUS.

sure he was rather rough with his words but you would be in good hands, knowing that this man was a protector in tevyat’s war too and for justice at that. you were able to close your eyes and cuddle up in the blankets, all while xiao had been close by to watch over you and protect you. perhaps he had felt that you and him were rather similar in this world to understand such peace finally?
