Xie, of course, doesn't hear 'because it belongs to you', he hears 'because it's you' and he hates, hates how much that fucking stings.
Because why the fuck would Kevin want anything to do with him anyway? They've been getting along because... because they have to, because when you're stuck with someone 24/7 you play nice or you go crazy. He cares about Xie because it's his job to do it, that's all. He doesn't like him, doesn't want him, and why would he? Xie's a criminal, he's done terrible things, someone like Kevin probably feels unclean just being bonded to him, let alone actually using that bond.
He looks back down at the paper. Studying it, committing it to memory. Going through with it is going to be torture, but how is that any different to being bonded to a witch who doesn't want him?
