    Summary

       Xiao didn’t make him angry… did he? Did he do something wrong? Snapped at the wrong time, brushed him off, something? Was all of this Xiao’s fault? Maybe—just maybe—if Xiao had been more accepting, more cordial, accepted the smiles more often, this wouldn’t have happened. If he had only given Aether a little more attention, if he’d accepted the Lanturn Right date outright like he wanted to… This was his fault, all his fault, and because of Xiao, Aether might be severely hurt. That was the only explanation. It was his fault it was his fault it was his fa—

        “Xiao?”

        He looked to Ganyu, who was carefully observing in the doorway. His breath was quick and heavy, his throat was dry, and his hands were shaking. Xiao was sure he looked like a caged animal with how he had snapped to attention. He needed to find them, and quick, but a self induced panic attack wasn’t going to get him anywhere.

        “Where’s Paimon?” he snarled.

        “With Lady Ningguang. I can take you to—”

        In a burst of teal blue and black smoke, Xiao was gone from the middle of the room.

    Summary

    “Venti… It’s…” Xiao picked up his phone. “Ten o’clock. Let me smoke first.”

    And then Venti was on his bed, which was something he never did because he knew Xiao hated people touching his sheets, and Xiao scowled. “It can’t wait. I don’t want to wait until later to upset you.”

    “You’re going to upset me?” Xiao rolled his eyes. “That’s not possible.”

    “No, it really is. You’re not gonna like this at all.” Venti crawled up next to him on the bed and got onto his knees. “Listen…”

    “Out with it, please.” Xiao picked up the joint from the ashtray and held it to his mouth.

    “You’re getting a roommate on Monday.”

    And Xiao dropped the joint. “Pardon?”

    “I’m really sorry.” Venti fidgeted where he sat, and when Xiao shot forward, Venti flung himself off the bed. “Listen…”

    Xiao snarled. “I thought we had an agreement.”
