Work Text:
Wanderer is bored. Again. What a surprise.
What. (Wut)
He feels something heavy on his legs, he looks down
"Xiao..."
"Yes?"
"What are you doing?"
"Resting. The world is hard and cold. You're warm and soft."
Wanderer breathes in, he says "I am not soft." But his ears are turning pink, Xiao just blinks up at him from his lap, he seemingly ignores him and just buries his face deeper into Wanderer's legs, settling down like a cat. Wanderer sighs, "Fine, I won't blast you through the window. You get 5 minutes." He subconsciously lowers his hand onto Xiao's head, his fingers slowly moving through Xiao's hair in a gentle soothing rhythm. Xiao's body locks up and yet at the same time, he relaxes, sighing in content. Wanderer pauses, he looks down at Xiao's glazed, half-lidded eyes.
Wait a minute...
He stops stroking Xiao's hair, Xiao lifts his head up slightly, as if wondering what just happened
"Why'd you stop?"
Wanderer grins, he says "Oh, no reason. What? Is the mighty Conqueror of Demons brought down by a simple headpat?" Xiao blushes, he says, pouting "No, I am not. I was just asking." Wanderer starts running his fingers through Xiao's hair, Xiao slumps forward again, his eyes glazing over with bliss. Wanderer smirks, he says "What were you just saying?"
"Shut up. Just... don't stop."
