Together Till' Death Do Us Part (Reader X Hu Tao)

(Three): mischievous red fluffball

"Bye!"

*Slam*

" *Yawn* I'm going to get changed, you can go to the bedroom, the bed on the right is yours, Hu Tao.

I brushed my teeth and then changed into a comfy pair of black shorts and a white shirt. When I opened the bedroom door, everything was pitch black and silent.

"Uhm... Hello? Girls? You there?"

"Boo." The emphasis on their voice was remarkably low.

"Oh noooooo... So scared."

"Hmpf! How dare you resist my spooking skills?" Hu Tao punched me very lightly

I got into bed without answering her question. The covers were perfectly fresh, just like a breath of wind in the summer.

"Wow, you girls look really tired." Yanfei was struggling to stay on her feet, while Hu Tao had already gotten into bed.

"I'm hungwy."

"Hm? Yanyan, you already washed your teeth."

"Hwyhwm" Yanfei blurted out a random mix of sleepy sounds before collapsing on her bed.

"Eh? Oh, she's asleep... Hu Tao, is everything ok? I know how sleeping in a new place can be difficult at first."

"Well, I don't really want to sleep right now..."

"What would you like to do?"

"I'd like to get to know you better!" She smiled warmly

"Let me guess, you want to play a game of truth or dare?"

"No, only truths, I start and you'll go after me, what do ya think?"

"Ooookay."

"What do you think of me? Also, I'm not saying you will, but I can easily tell when someone is lying"

"We've only met yesterday, so take this with a grain of salt... You're very eccentric, and after that thing about lies I'd also say you have quite the trust issues, but I don't think that your cheery attitude is necessarily a facade to hide your insecurities."

Her expression became remarkably shocked and a bit melancholic.

"But, you're extremely fun to hang out with, and being eccentric or strange doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad person. Yan really looks up to you, and i kind of do too. You're a really able fighter and the way you bolted from one hilichurl to another was stunning. If there's I person I'd want to be good friends with, she's you."

Hu Tao hid her face behind the pillow, but you could see that she was as red as an apple.

"What's up? Not used to compliments?"

"N-no, that's not it..." She blurted it, still hugging the pillow with enough strength to crush human bones.

"Then why are you red? Do you have a fever~?"

"Dummy..."

"Well, now it's my turn, isn't it? I'll ask you the same question."

"Well... You can be voluntarily stupid at times, but I really liked hanging out with you, you're really strong and you manage to keep your cool even in the most dangerous of situations, I feel like I already trust you more than most people."

"You sure? We've known each other for only a day."

"A day is enough to tell if a person is genuine or not, also, you're my best friend's brother, so I automatically trust you."
