Chapter 368 Xing Hans Quirk (1/2)
Kyle, Kay and Xing Han were clearing up after dinner. At first, Rheia wouldn't let them, but Kyle insisted.
”It's the least we can do, Mother,” Kyle said, ”After all, we didn't help at all in the cooking.”
”Let them be, Rheia,” Master Shifu had said, ”Let this be their chores from now on. We cook, they clear up. It's only fair.”
Rheia finally relented, patting Kyle's cheeks as she let them be.
Between the three of them, the work didn't take long. Wiping his hands on the dishtowel meant for exactly that, Kyle said, ”You guys head on home first. I've still got to see Big Bro Nic.”
Xing Han gave a slight pout but didn't say anything.
”Okay,” Xing Han said as he walked out the kitchen with Kay, ”I'll be waiting for you then.”
”Please don't, Xing Han,” Kyle said, ”I don't know how long it'll be. It's best you go to sleep first.”
”No,” Xing Han said stubbornly, ”I'll wait.”
Kyle sighed.
Xing Han has this quirk.
He is unable to sleep alone in a new place. It's okay once he is used to the place, but if it is a hotel, for example, he would need to share the room. Sleep with someone. Not necessary on the same bed, of course. He just can't sleep alone.
They had just moved in, thus, the whole place made Xing Han uncomfortable. It would take him at least a month to acclimatize himself to the place and be able to sleep by himself.
It was something Xing Han couldn't quite explain. On the empty bed, it's ... scary.
Xing Han's lower lip quivered a bit, as he thought of the big, empty room.
When he lay down on the bed, and there was no one there, it felt like he was in an empty abyss. All alone. Like, he was the only person in the entire world. He would be filled with such intense fear and feeling of desolation that his heart would beat so rapidly.
Just like it would if one was watching a horror movie, or on a roller coaster. It didn't make sense at all, but he couldn't help feeling it. No matter what he did, nothing calmed him down.
”How about I stay with you until you fall asleep?” Kay asked.
”NO!” Xing Han said in horror, ”You're a girl! You can't stay in a single guy's room! Even if it's me!!”
Though Xing Han was pure, and he had absolutely no thoughts of the lurid kind, it was ingrained into his deepest bone that 'girls and guys' cannot be alone in a room together. The girl's reputation can take a dive and he would not jeapordize Kay like that.
Kyle rolled his eyes internally.
There were still some things Xing Han was really traditional about, and this was one of it. Nothing would be able to change his mind. He wouldn't even try anyway. It's just how Xing Han is.
All the while, Nitocris was leaning against his bedroom door, listening to all of this.

His little puppy can't sleep alone? Interesting.
