“I wonder what you’re dreaming about…” Xiao whispers as you sleep with your head on his chest- all tucked in his arms. You and him had spent the night together, and now you’re peacefully sleeping in bed. He didn’t sleep though, he liked to watch over you.
He had never imagined that he could feel so peaceful with someone else. Even after these 6 years of being together, which is nothing compared to a lifetime, he still found you so captivating.
But he knew not to rummage around in your head. You were immortal yourself, and carried so much pain in your heart that you didn’t like to talk about. At least immortality was something you two related to.
He stroked your head as you slept, the cool air gently blowing through the window as he watched you take each breath. Did he dare to try and see inside your mind as to what made you look so peaceful?
