"xiao, dear, please let me help you bandage your wound.. you cant do it yourself like that." you smiled with a slight laugh as you watched xiao tie the bandage around the wound on his bicep. he had gotten into some trouble while out on duty and had just returned home, and without even saying anything about his wound to you, he just kissed you on the top of your head and walked towards the small infirmary room you both had in your house.
you decided to pop in to make sure he was alright, and thats when you caught him — the other end of the bandage in his mouth being held with his teeth and his other hand wrapping it around his wound.
xiao sighed, but he released the bandage and gave you a shy look, indicating that you could help him. he was having a hard time, but he just didnt want to worry you. he sighed when you sat beside him and started wrapping the bandage around his arm.
"i dont want you to be worried of me, and this is not because i want to sound cool, its just, you already have a lot to worry about," he mumbled. "i do not wish to be a burden."
you leaned in to kiss his dry cheek. "you're my husband silly, you're never a burden." you pinched his cheek and gave him another kiss, which made him smile. he let that smile stay on his face for the whole time until you finished tending to his wounds.
he shyly turned his head to face you, then slowly inched his head into your neck. he snuggled his head into the crook of your neck and kind of made mini bounces to be able to sit closer to you. your heart was screaming with all this cuteness, and you wanted to just snuggle him to death, but you didnt want to ruin the special moment.
"thank you," he whispered quietly. "how are you so good at being this way."
"this way how?"
"tolerant with me," he said, then pulled his head away from your neck to watch your pretty face. "im gone for majority of the day, and you only ever see me at night, or not at all. i know you prepare breakfast for me in the mornings, and im sorry i dont always have time to eat them, but i promise i appreciate your food."
you reached your hand out to touch his face, his cheek was still dry, but it felt warmer. perhaps he was blushing, but his face was slightly hidden under his hair, so you weren't sure. "i know you do darling, and its not that i tolerate you, its that i love you."
