#xiao is a lego nerd you cant convince me otherwise

STOP GAWKING ! — XIAO

𖤐 how can you not stare at a pretty boy like him? [modern!au, gn!reader]

it was sweltering outside, you could feel the heat waves in the air as if they were a tangible aura. and it just so happens that the AC in your apartment chose today to be the day to be broke and unfixable. 

xiao sat on the hardwood flooring of your apartment tinkering with the new lego set he had bought for the two of you to build together. it was a cherry blossom set - something he thought would fit in your new home, something the two of you built together to commemorate your relationship in the new apartment. 

one problem - he was the only one building it. not that he complained. xiao refused to admit it but he was a lego nerd at heart; he was at peace with the slow building of an artificial, plastic block tree. plus, he always looked so cute with a proud expression on his face whenever he did complete a set. it was something you wouldn’t want to miss for the world. 

there he sat, glasses slowly sliding down his sloped nose as he focused on placing the blossoms on the tree. he was wearing a black tanktop (the heat was truly getting to him) and in all honesty, you couldn’t focus on anything except the shape of him. the window of the bedroom was open, letting in hot wind every now and then, ruffling the soft turquoise tendrils of his hair. 

the tanktop exposed his arm muscles, along with his back muscles as the shirt stuck tightly to his skin. the exposed sunlight left its light on his skin - glowing parts of his arm and face. he looked so pretty. 

every part of him looked glorious like that. even down to his hands; they were rough and littered with scars and yet they looked so graceful even as he moved to push his glasses back up his nose. his arm and back muscles flexed slightly as he reached for blocks that were further away from him and all you could do was just stare. 

maybe it was the heat, maybe it was the shirt, maybe it was just him. but simply looking at him at that moment made you feel such an intense love it felt like you were burning a fire that was rooted in your heart. 

“xiao?” 

“hm?”

“i love you.”

you saw a smile slowly make its way across his face, the corners of his lips quirking upwards in such a comely manner. he tapped his fingers against the legos and said, “mm… i love you more. now would you stop gawking at me and help me build this dumb tree?” 

you grinned at his faux annoyance and clambered out of your bed and onto the floor next to him. anything for your pretty boy.
