Xiao's mind kept replaying the night before.

Snapshots and flashes of skin on skin and tongues tangled together. Along with a feeling of a perfect match. Someone who pushed back when he pushed. And this man he'd found the other day pushed back just as hard.

And Xiao loved a good night in bed.

So as the sun shines through the small window at the top of the wall, illuminating the small square room, Xiao finally opened his eyes and rolled over. Making the only blanket he had available on the bed slide off onto the ground.

Xiao sat up with a yawn and glanced over to the man laying on the small bed with him. Xiao smirked and wrapped his arms around the man's waist and started to kiss his back and gently nip at the lines that his own nails had dug into the man's back last night.

It was surprising honestly, how beautiful the man was. He didn't have the calloused hands like the servants and guards. He was pretty in a way that seemed like he must lounge around all day. It made Xiao almost curious to who the man was and why he had been in the palace.

As the kisses on the mans back started to get rougher and Xiao placed a hand on the man's stomach and brushed his fingers through the thick hairs of the happy trail, Xiao finally got what he wanted. The man started to wake up.

Xiao watched and slowly rested his head on the man's shoulder and let his lips brush the man's ear as he lowered his voice to a soft whisper.

"Good morning handsome. May I get the honor of knowing who I laid with last night?"
