Chapter 10 [When You Sleep]

Xiao

"Y/N, I've already told you-"

You

"Yeah, yeah, I know. You've already tried medicine. But that's the medicine in Teyvat. You still haven't tried the medicine here!"

Xiao

"You... Have a point."

You

"Hold on, stay here. I bet I can find some at the pharmacy nearby."

Xiao

"What? But you've already gone out-"

Before Xiao could finish, you had already left.

Xiao

"Hm."

Xiao waited for you, happily comfortable in the random sweater you chose for him.

You soon came back, covered in blood.

You

"Ah, there was a bunch of trouble out there. Sorry if I took too long, but here."

You put a single bottle of sleeping medication on the table he sat at.

Xiao

"That's what the sleep medicine looks like here?..."

You

"Yeah, what about it?"

Xiao

"It's kind of different."

You

"Eh, I'd have expected that."

Xiao picked up the bottle and looked at it from all different angles, basically inspecting it. 

You

"Hey, you should take it now."

Xiao

"Now?... Wouldn't you consider it a bit too early?"

You

"Xiao, it's 1 am."

Xiao

"Oh... So I just..."

You

"You've gotta consume it with water. Or else you'll choke and die on it."

Xiao

"...!"

Xiao's focus slowly turned from the bottle to you.

You

"Hey, don't look at me like that. I was just kidding!"

Xiao

"... Don't scare me like that."

You

"Hehe, okay, I'll cut it out."

You prepared a glass of water for Xiao and left to go annoy Scaramouche who had still been using the bathroom.

You

"Scara, it's been an hour. Get the fuck out! Hu Tao and I still need to go!"

Scaramouche

"I'll get out when I wanna!"

You

"Tch, I might as well just drag you out of there myself!"
