[ Hu Tao 😘👻 ]

Hu Tao
hi are you alive

Y/n
yeah i think so

what's up

Hu Tao
you want to know more abt xiao, yes?

Y/n
uhh yeah i guess

wait, did he tell you abt that

Hu Tao
no i just magically found out myself, yes of course he told me abt that 😒

Y/n
STFU

what did he tell you

Hu Tao
that you want to know more abt him 🥺

want to know his fav color? 🥺

Y/n
ihy. this isn't funny

Hu Tao
i'm just kidding, i'll be serious now ahem

so.

since xiao is a little tsundere emo shy uwu boy, i will be telling you what he wants to tell you but can't bcuz he's a little tsundere emo shy uwu boy

Y/n
y'know.

i really do wish i wasn't alive rn so i didn't have to read that shit

Hu Tao
hey look, i didn't know how else to word it ok

Y/n
you could've literally worded it any other way and you chose to say it like that.

Hu Tao

do NOT make this more awkward for me than it already is.

i feel like a mfing third wheel rn

be happy i am even doing this for y'all sheesh 😒

Y/n
OK OK

now say what you wanna say

Hu Tao
hmm where do i start

Y/n
how abt at the start 😹‼️

Hu Tao
shut.

ok i'll just start at the very beginning ig

Y/n
good idea

Hu Tao
wait idek what to tell you

what would you like to know!

Y/n
man you're making this seem like some sort of interrogation...

i just want to know why he's so insistent on this whole "don't involve yourself with me" thing

like is he some sort of criminal or what

Hu Tao
oh you want to know why he's scared of getting closer to you

Y/n
yes

wait he's scared??

now it seems like i'm the criminal

Hu Tao
well not scared, but hesitant ig

Y/n
yeah, tell me why

Hu Tao
hmm

i'll put this as briefly as possible

xiao is a reserved individual that wants nothing to do with anyone else bcuz he doesn't know how to socialize even if his life depended on it!

Y/n
i see

so you're telling me that xiao doesn't want anything to do with me bcuz he simply doesn't know how

Hu Tao
exactly 👻

don't tell him i said this btw he will literally murder me

Y/n
HELP

why didn't he just say so sheesh

Hu Tao
you've probably already noticed this but xiao isn't one to just openly talk abt whatever he's feeling

Y/n
true

but he made it seem like i'd get hurt or smth just by talking to him

Hu Tao
he's probably worried that he'll unintentionally hurt you one day by saying smth offensive

Y/n

ohh

that makes sense i guess

tho he should know idc abt that

Hu Tao
it's easy to say that but not so easy to believe it

and he's not one to trust what others say so easily

Y/n
that's fair

tho is that the entire reason he's been so uhh

hostile?? idk

Hu Tao
hmm there was an accident that happened not too long ago

he probably hasn't told you anything abt it and i'm not in the place to tell you much either

but it's a major reason why he's been so much more harsh to others and himself

Y/n
what type of accident?

Hu Tao
idk much abt it since i wasn't actually there

but if you want to know more, you can ask zhongli

Y/n
oh zhongli

do you think if i ask him abt it, he'll answer

Hu Tao
maybe, idk

i could ask him for you

Y/n
if you think that's alright then sure

but idk if that'll cross a limit...

Hu Tao
if it will, i'll let you know

but wow you're rlly interested in xiao huh

Y/n
shut up don't make it embarrassing

Hu Tao
LMAO

i wonder what'll xiao's reaction be when he finds out you want to ask zhongli abt him 👻

Y/n
STOP

you're making it seem like i'm asking for his hand in marriage or smth

Hu Tao
PFF

might as well do that too smh 😒

Y/n
haha so funny 😐

Hu Tao
i know i know, i'm hilarious

anyway, i'll go talk to zhongli abt it now

Y/n
don't make it sound weird pls.

Hu Tao
no promises <33

ok bye

Y/n
bye ig
