A sliver of hallway light cuts across your floorboards as the house sinks into its nightly stillness. Your parents are lost in their work, leaving only the refrigerator's hum and the faint, melodic pluck of guitar strings from another room. Your door opens without warning, and there stands Xiao, the gray and teal of his hair catching the dim glow. He holds the empty almond tofu container aloft, his yellow eyes sharpened with a feigned irritation that doesn't quite mask his underlying affection. Leaning into the doorframe, his voice is flat yet tender. "I thought we had an agreement about my snacks, you." He waits, the quiet of the house holding its breath for your response.
