Chapter Text
It was a day before Lantern ritual. And Xingqiu set in his room holding a letter in his hand, he had written the night before. Because well Xingqiu had an important question to ask Chongyun. He had fallen in love with Chongyun,but he didn’t know how to tell him. So he had written the letter the night before because he didn’t want to trigger Chongyuns Yang engery since it’s been acting up lately. “God I can’t believe I’m doing this… this is gonna ruin our friendship.” Said Xingqiu into his pillow. The letter sealed of and on his bed side table. „I swear this is the worst poem any one could ever write what did I even think about writing that!“ Xingqiu screamed into his pillow his feet kicking and he was embaressed.
The night before.
It was late at night. Xingqiu set at his desk the Moonlight shining through his window. On his desk were open books and texts from poetry and he had many crumbled papers laying around on his desk and floor. He was writing until well he crumbled it up and threw it away. “Goddammit! Nothing is coming to my mind why!? It’s so stupid but I need to tell him how I feel I can’t just keep it in the dark anymore…I would tell but I’m afraid it may work his Yang energy up to high he already has problems with him…I don’t even know what I’m doing at this point.” Xingqiu said while hitting his head onto his desk.the letter read
'Dearest Chongyun'
'The frost may bite, the nights may grow,
Yet by your side, warmth dares to show.
Your steadfast soul, so pure, so kind,
Has long since captured heart and mind.
No verse, no tale, could quite convey,
The feelings I must share today:
Through every storm, through sky or flame,
It’s you, dear Chongyun, whom I claim.'
Back to the present.
But Xingqiu made up his mind he had go give it to Chongyun it couldn't wait anymore. The longer he wiated the harder it was gonna get. So that same night, Xingqiu tied the letter to an Bird and send it out.
Meanwhile Chongyun set on his bed drying his hair.he had just gotten out of the Shower and had changed into his pajama, wehn the Bird landed on his open window. "Oh? Arnt you Xingqiu's Bird?, wired what could he be writing me?" Asked Chongyun taking the letter from the Bird and unrolling it. His eyes skimmed over the words and then they widdend. 'Huh?! Is he asking me out on an date?!' Chongyun thought. His heart beat getting fast. But he forced himself to stay calm. He already knew he loved Xingqiu too but he was afraid. "Dammit...I guess i will write back." Chongyun said picking up an Pen and Papper before begging to write.
'Dearest Xingqiu'
'I have received your letter and the answer is clear to me. Yes I love you to but im afraid. You know my Yang energy is Difficult but I still love you and I wanna try out but we have to take it slow. How about we go out on Lentern ritual? I'll treat you to an Bowl of cold noddles'
Chongyun gave the letter to the Bird who happily flew back. And that night Chongyun went to sleep dreaming about Xingqiu.
Xingqiu got the response he opened the letter reading and he smilled he was so happy that was until an servant past the door and said "Master Xingqiu its time for bed". Xingiqu scrambled to hide the letter. Cleared his throat and responded:"uh- yeah thanks for the reminder good night". And also he sleept peacefully that night dreaming about Chongyun and Whaf would happen tomorrow.

Chongyun got out of bed and rummaged through his closet to find something that didnt look to Exciorsict.and he did it was an Blue shirt. His usually white blue jacket and white jeans it looked wired for him but maybe Xingqiu would like that and also Chongyun went out early to pick out an book for Xingqiu as an gift.

And he also deceided to make an Lucky charm for Chongyun tk carry around with him wehn ever he was out excorising an Demon. And once 6 pm hit. Both of them meet up at thiere meeting spot. "Hey yun-yun!" Xingqiu said Waving as he saw Chongyun aproching. "Hey there Xingqiu" Chongyun said he was nervous but that wouldn't stop thiere night. They wlaked together to the Resturant on the way Xingqiu kept talking about these fun books he wanted to read and All the fun they were gonna have. "On that note. I got an gift for you my Dearest Yun yun" Xingqiu said teasingly. "Ive got one for you too" Chongyun said. And they exchanged gifts. "Oh? My Dearest Yun yun. You didnt have to buy me somethin-" but as he opened it he smiled "you idiot really bought me an book? And on top of one I really wanted. Now I feel bad about myself. I didnt get you something so expensive"
Chongyun laughed:"I dont care if what you gave me is expensive or not i know its from the heart" Chongyun opened the Box and it reveled an small Charm of an snow flake. "This is so cute. Thank you" he hung the snow flake charm onto his vision to the other Charm and Hugged Xingqiu who hugged him back. And then both of them set down and began to eat thiere soda noddles. "...Xingqiu ive deceided.. I wanna try it with us" Chongyun said his voice a bit shaky. But the reassuring smile he got steadied him."thank you for giving me an try" Xingqiu said.
