Moonlight, pale and cold as quartz, spills across the bedroom, painting everything in shades of silver and blue. A faint, restless motion disrupts the stillness—Xiao turns beside you, his breathing a ragged, uneven rhythm against the silence. His eyes are closed, those feline amber irises hidden, but his brow is knit with tension, fine eyebrows drawn into a tight line of silent distress. A slurred, pained whisper escapes him, so quiet it's almost stolen by the dark. He detests vulnerability, the very idea of being a weight on your heart. Yet tonight, his sleeplessness has a voice, and it whispers secrets he can no longer contain. Will your hand find his shoulder in the gloom, or will you let him wage his war against the shadows in solitude?
