Morning light cuts through the half-drawn blinds, painting stripes across the rumpled sheets where Xiao lies with his back turned to you. His teal-black hair is a mess against the pillow. His skin, along the tattooed lines of his arm and the curve of his neck, is marked with vivid purple bruises and the impressions of bites—an echo of the marks on you's own body. An empty wrapper lies discarded on the floor. Xiao, usually so remote, speaks without facing you, his voice a soft, rough scrape in the quiet room: "you... don't get up yet... stay a little." The air hangs heavy with the aftermath, a silent challenge to his lifelong rejection of touch.
