Curate, connect, and discover
This is just a tiny drabble I just had the idea today.
Warnings: Yandere thoughts, mention of kidnapping (nothing ever happens like that), OOC character?
Genre: None in particular
Notes: I may come back to edit this. Feedback is appreciated!
Xiao held nothing but the deepest of love for you, but that love could always manifest into something darker...

Xiao was happy. He knew it.
He knew why. Ever since you had come into his life, he had felt... lighter. An odd feeling, an unwelcome one, he would have said before. But now, this feeling was pleasant.
You, who was carefree, coming up to the balcony without a second thought even though he knew you were aware of who resided there. You, who was so kind, bringing joy to everyone around you, no matter how stubborn they were. You, who was too heroic, roaming into the land of the Adepti without a second thought to help someone you didn't know, not under a contract nonetheless. You were all things he was not, yet...
He felt better when you came to visit him, laughing and smiling with delight. It was like how those mortals thrived off the sun, basking in it's overpowering heat. He felt... energized when you held his hand, bending down to kiss his knuckles, all the while looking up at him and smiling that irritating yet endearing smile of yours. He felt refreshed when you held him so close, silence shrouding the two of you. He felt comfort when you were there for him through his karmic debt, whispering quietly while he felt the weight of his sins crushing him, bit by bit.
But now, more than ever, he wanted you. He needed you. He needed that familiar comfort around him. He needed to feel your gentle touches stroke his skin. He needed those moments of bliss. He needed your kindness covering him like a veil. He needed to keep you safe from anyone who would dare to try cause you harm. He needed to have you so you could be his sun and nobody else's. HE NEEDED-
No.
He wanted.
He wanted all of those things.
He was being so selfish, so greedy, for thinking this way. And besides-
You would've been unhappy.
He doesn't want that. So he leaves those distasteful thoughts behind, where they should be.
