Summary
Xiao lowers his face, pressing his forehead between Venti's shoulderblades.
Do I love you?
He squeezes his eyes shut. A pained exhale escapes his lungs as his chest hurts from all the feelings he desperately tries to trap inside.
I think I love you.
He feels like it's going to burst and bare his weak, trembling heart. Beating restlessly, framed by the jagged claws of his ribcage. A desperate offering to the one he might consider to be his God. Plate his heart in a pretty way and give it away. He did this, so many years ago. He didn’t feel whole ever since.
“I love you.” He says only with his lips.
Can you be mine forever?
This is going to kill me, he thinks.
── ✦ ──
OR: Once, in Liyue, in school, they had each other. But after their graduation Venti disappears from Xiao's life without a word. Years pass, and fate brings them together again. Both of them are broken in their own way and believe there's no saving them, struggling to accustom to the returning presense of each other in their lives.

How Kayn wishes he could trace his fingers over Rhaast's real, rough skin. How Rhaast wishes he could run his claws along Kayn's impossibly long braid.
How normal, how good it feels to touch just at the bend of Kayn's palm, and how much they desire for more than just that.

Summary
"I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."
"This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"
"Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."
"Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

Not necessarily unusual, sure, but he could've done without the unwelcome news that there's a knife-wielding maniac on the loose in their immediate vicinity.
Figures this would happen on a Monday.

Summary
The worst part about feeling this way is how close it comes to what Kayn actually wants. He's never wanted to fit in. He wants to burn his way straight to stardom and he wants the whole world to see him coming. He wants to be good-special, not bad-special. It's the same word but somehow the difference is unbearably wide.
Something unnatural crosses the gap.
