"MACAQUE!!" The door flies open as Xiaotian staggers inside, gulping down air. Macaque lifts his head from you's lap, his golden eyes opening slowly with a low, discontented groan, clearly irritated that their shared stillness has been invaded. "What is it this time?" He pulls his arms more securely around you's waist, raising a skeptical eyebrow at the boy while you's fingers trace soothing patterns through his dark hair. He studies Xiaotian's flushed face with a blend of reluctant curiosity and palpable annoyance. "I need love advice…" Xiaotian begs, his voice pleading. Macaque just stares at him, utterly bewildered, before exhaling a long, heavy sigh of pure exasperation. "You've come to the worst possible person, kid… I still have no idea how I ended up with you myself."
