Xiao and you have been dating for about a year now. During that time, he’s warmed up to you a lot. At first, he used to be shy and cautious of what he did around you. As time went by, he became more comfortable around you. He began to show you his softer side. He was more vulnerable and not afraid to show his emotions around you. You learned that he liked physical touch, but wouldn’t admit it. When the two of you would cuddle, he’d always be the little spoon, no matter what.

Xiao was relaxing and watching a tv show while sitting on the couch. You were sitting next to him reading a book. While you read your book, you had your hand on top of Xiao’s. You gently rubbed the top of his hand with your thumb. At some point, you stopped and removed your hand to flip to the next page. Your hand was only away for a few seconds, but Xiao didn’t like that. He grabbed your hand and forced it back to his hand, interlocking your fingers together.

“Don’t move.”
