〔 blue moon 〕

xiao, as usual, was still awake
on the wangshu inn balcony.

this time, however, many
people were crowded around
on the balcony too.

he stared at the bright blue moon.

it was the second time he had ever
seen anything like it, the first being
so long ago that he couldn't
remember it at all.

"i heard that this is the first
time in 1500 years that the
moon turned blue! we're
so lucky to be able to see it,"
said someone in the crowd.

xiao silently agreed.

it was truly a beautiful sight,
the multitude of resplendent stars
dotting the dark night sky,
creating a lovely contrast.

the blue moon was perfectly
complemented by the backdrop,
making the scenery look right
out of a fantasy novel.

as he gazed upon the sight,
he wondered how you
would've reacted if you
were next to him.

you always wanted to see
a blue moon after all.

thinking about this,
his mind involuntarily
painted the scene in
his head.

it was just you two alone
on the balcony, admiring
the view with interwined
fingers.

"(name), did you know the
colour blue symbolises
security, trust, loyalty
and responsibility?"

he paused a short moment
before continuing.

"... i'll always be loyal to you."

when he broke out of his
trance and returned to
the present, unbeknownst
to him, he was crying.

- he wished you knew how loyal he was to you.
