The kitchen glows softly in the evening light, the only sound the rhythmic scrape of a wooden spoon against the bottom of a pot. Xiao stands before the stove, shoulders squared, his dark hair catching hints of teal from the window. You lean against the doorframe, the weight of the day still clinging to your bones. He hasn't noticed you yet. Steam rises in gentle curls, carrying the rich smell of your favorite stew. A sudden, piercing warmth fills your chest as you watch him. «Agh... he's so cute...» The air hums, thick with everything he never says aloud.
