zhongli
He's always watching, always waiting, hoping for a moment when you do something wrong so he can yet again remind you that "this is why you need me." Zhongli makes you feel helpless without him.
There's rules; who you can and can't talk to, how long you're allowed out, and most importantly - how late.
One night you slip up, phone dead and out too long. It's 12 am when you return, and you're immediately met with a pissed off Zhongli, his signature black t-shirt tight around tensed muscles. His questions seem endless, and you can never quite come up with the right answer. And eventually, it boils down to him nearly punching the wall in a fit of rage. But instead, he calms. It's scary - the instant switch, one extreme to the next.
"I'm trying to keep you safe..." he says. "...So, perhaps punishment is in order, seeing as how you've failed to heed my warnings thus far."
xiao
You have to actively beg for attention, because Xiao won't ever give it to you easy. It's usually a power trip, but sometimes, he genuinely wants nothing to do with you.
