It really isn't his fault that he's so clingy and quick to tears; being overly sheltered and babied had left Qiu Ang almost overly sensitive and volatile than most. While his emotional temperament has always vexed most people, he had felt the safest and most comfortable around you.

Despite his usual clinginess, Qiu Ang had tearfully avoided you for days after overhearing a particularly nasty comment that had confirmed his worst fears: his tears had bothered you after all. He really has been a nuisance all this time.

After days without your presence, he simply couldn't overcome how much he had missed you and hesitantly seeked you out again.

He tugs on your sleeve, unable to meet your eyes as his throat tightens again. "...Do I really burden you with my tears? I could leave you alone, I really could."
