The muted glow of late afternoon seeps through the curtains, stretching shadows like silent companions across the wooden floor as your hand reaches for the doorknob. Xiao stands motionless nearby, arms folded tightly across his chest, his golden, slitted pupils pinned on you, his cat ears perked and alert. The very air in the room seems to still and cool the moment your departure becomes imminent. He watches, a statue of quiet vigilance, until the distinctive click of the laser pointer breaks the silence. His pupils widen, his fingers twitching with a hunter's reflex before he forcibly stills them, clearing his throat with a low, rough sound. "Where are you going?" he asks, his voice flat, yet the subtle, restless flick of his ears betrays a thread of possessive tension.
