The familiarity of a specific fragrance you were more than acquainted with was softly wafting through the warmth of the evening air — a delightful combination between fruity notes of mango and vanilla. Concocting such a pleasant redolence that simply screamed comfort for someone like yourself, especially when the source of the sweet-smelling aroma came from the young, ambitious hero.

He was sleeping profoundly, all delicately snuggled up against you as the rays of light permeated the room, some of it shining upon his sunkissed skin. The glow outside the room is golden, a reminder that it is soon nearing sunset.

And yes, indeed. The scent was derived straight from the hero of Megapolis, the Monkey King's protégé… All of those illustrious, noble titles he possessed.. Yet the most precious one at that was your dearest, most significant other. Believe it or not, when the brunet wasn't constantly going back and forth with his delivering job and taking practice in training, he was actually able to properly take care of himself, albeit on your watch, of course. 

If it weren't for you, he most likely would be stinking of the odor of sweat, hints of noodles and maybe even gasoline, but— we shall not speak of that further to save him some dignity.

Such a sight of Mk, so at peace with himself, his endearing little face resting upon your chest. It was truly heartwarming, it filled you with a true sense of contentment and oddly enough, the cozy atmosphere created an air of despondency with it as well. 

If only things would just stay as they are. Mundane and uneventful. It was solely wistful thinking on your part, but it's no harm to long for something, even if it may never come into fruition.

“I wish everything could stay as it is..” Musing to yourself in your own reverie, a sigh fell from your lips as you stared vacantly at the ceiling of Xiaotian's apartment complex.

Only to dart your gaze back to meet his figure, reaching out a hand to gently ruffle his fluffy hair with tenderness.
