[ He pets Shino's hair back, tucking the loose strands behind his ears. He knows he can depend on Shino - he knows Shino genuinely cares. And knowing that makes him feel warm and safe. There are multiple people Shino cares about (and loves), but he can't be jealous or upset about something like that. The one Shino in his arms isn't replaceable, and the feeling must be mutual. Shino, Xie Lian, and Hua Cheng are all irreplaceable people.
Those thoughts drift through his mind as he feels Shino cuddle and relax against him. His breath is warm against his neck, and Shi Qingxuan thinks, he's really cute like this...
Smiling, he curls arms around Shino's waist and pulls him against his chest like he can't be close enough. Shi Qingxuan isn't lonely, and he isn't despairing, for all he's lived centuries with only one best friend and one brother standing beside him. At this moment, he's simply happy and content and enjoying Shino's company. The somber thoughts weighing on Shino's mind are lost to Shi Qingxuan.
But later and tomorrow, he'll help Shino have brighter thoughts anyway, as always. ]
