still a wip but i wanted to let you guys know the things i have planned for this au jsjsjs
for more context: Xiao's father needed a extremely capable employer to help him with paper work, and, after his wife's passing, and someone to cheer his son up since he became a very quiet child, and never really good at making friends, always distancing himself from other kids. He thought that losing his mother could make things worse so he made a contract with a vampire that he trusted and knew for sometime now, Venti. Venti is part of a small group of vampires that exchange services for blood. Xiao doesn't like venti at first because he thinks Venti is there to "replace" his mom, since Venti is very casual while interacting with Zhongli. Venti realizes that Xiao most of the time ignores him or gives him deadly glares. And Xiao one day just says that, that he doesn't need Venti to take care of him or act like his stepmom. So Venti clear things up, and convinces Xiao that he only wants to be his friend and has no adulterous intentions. And over the years Xiao starts liking Venti more. Really like him. ;)
