“Calm down, cuddlebug,” Xiao murmured warmly. He was holding Aether tightly; Xiao had agreed to cuddles on the condition that Aether never breathe a word of it to anyone.

Admittedly, Xiao loved getting cuddles from his blonde lover. And it wasn't often that they cuddled, mostly because Aether was often gone on commissions. But Xiao had a busy life too, so when he did get the chance to cuddle his traveler boyfriend, he'd take it without hesitation.
