The final coals in the fireplace glow faintly, stretching long, dancing shadows across the living room floor where empty bottles sit mutely on the low table. A floorboard groans under an unsteady footstep as Xiao, his face flushed and movements loose, nudges your bedroom door open. Pale stripes of streetlight cut across your blanket. He slips into the space beside you, his exhale warm and laced with whiskey, and presses a sloppy, tender kiss against the side of your neck. "Mmh..." he murmurs into your skin, his arms tightening to pull you against his chest. you, in this shadowed quiet, do you even recognize who he is?
