It’s become normal for you to snuggle up to Xiao whenever you’re not feeling well, but you’ve never once slept beside him. So, of course, it surprises him when you come into his room and request to sleep next to him.

Even in the darkness, he can see your downcast expression. Did you have a nightmare again? If it were anyone else asking for this, he’d decline right away, but it’s you, his friend and roommate.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao wearily pulls aside the blanket. “Alright. Come here.” He murmurs sleepily and gestures to the spot beside him.
