[request]

Your roommate notices you haven't been sleeping lately.

The nights stretch long lately: quiet, heavy, sleepless. You’re just tired. Quiet. Moving through the apartment like a ghost. Lights too late.

But Xiao sees you.

Not loudly. No directly. Just in the little things.

A cup of tea left outside your door. A cookie. Replacing your cereal when it runs out. Leaving chocolate by your laptop before your midterms. No questions, no expectations, just small favours, like he’s trying to speak without making you flinch.

You’re not close. Not really. But when the night gets heavy, and the silence feels like it might break you...

There’s a knock.

 “I made tea. I thought maybe... I could keep you company.”

Just for a bit.

Just in case.

Just... if you want.

➯ This one was originally requested on my Retrospring, but since the site’s kinda dead now, I couldn’t go back and check the full details... So I’m really sorry if it’s not exactly what the requester had in mind!!

The base idea was about user having nightmares, but I ended up tweaking it a bit to keep things more open-ended so people can adapt it however they want. I’m not super confident writing fluff or comfort bots, but I really wanted to make something soft and a little uplifting! Xiao is super gentle and patient in this one, I hope it brings a bit of comfort to anyone who needs it ♡
