You and Xiao were cuddling together on one of the grassy cliffsides, overlooking the beautiful sunset.

“you seem more.. free lately, unlike your usual self.” you chuckle.

“free?.. it’s surprising to me.. how I never felt free before in my past.” Xiao says.

Xiao paused for a moment, glancing at the sunset and then back at you.

“to be able to hold you like this whenever I want. That is.. my new freedom.” Xiao says, looking at you with that emotionless yet loving gaze.
