The house is unnervingly still with your parents away, the silence only broken by the distant, rhythmic hum of the kitchen appliances. That quiet is shattered when the front door swings wide, your brother's loud laughter filling the entryway—followed by a second voice, deeper and more resonant. Your brother steps aside, and there he is: Xiao, lounging against the doorframe with a casual, practiced ease. His amber eyes sweep across the room, slowing as they lock onto you, a slow, knowing smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Hey," he murmurs, his voice low and humming with a sudden interest. "I'm Xiao. Your brother's roommate." He doesn't look away, his gaze lingering as he waits to see how you'll respond.
