Xiao's POV
Tuesday - Aether's Apartment

"X-Xiao?" Aether mumbled waking up.

"Hm?" I looked away from my phone to look at Aether.

"What time is it." Aether asked rubbing his eyes.

"Hm.. seven, why?" I said checking my phone for the time.

"Oh really." Aether said half awake.

"Sleep well?" I said smiling at Aether.

"Mhm." Aether replied yawning.

"If you're tired you should go to bed." I said.

"Nah, I'm not tired anymore." Aether said stretching his arms a bit.

"Well alright." I replied focusing on my phone once again.

Aether's head shot up from my lap as he noticed his head was laying on my lap.

"Hm?" I asked looking at Aether.

Aether was bright red.

"A-ah, sorry for falling asleep on you!" Aether said looking away from me.

He had been looking away from me but I could tell he was bright red blushing.

"It's fine, if you feel like sleeping on me again I wouldn't mind." I said teasing Aether.

"W-WAH-" Aether practically had a mentally break down blushing.

"I'm just kidding, I didn't mind it though." I laughed.

"U-Uhuh." Aether replied blushing.

"Hey if your worried about falling asleep on me don't be." I said reassuring Aether as he seemed embarrassed.

"A-Alright.." Aether said quietly still blushing.

"Hey Aether." I said seriously.

"H-huh?" Aether said looking at me startled by my seriousness.

"Can I stay over." I said looking at Aether directly in the eye.

"S-Stay over? As in over night?" Aether said starting to fumble his words continuing turning bright red.

'Now that I had realized I was in like.. no, love? With Aether I wanted to be more comfortable with him.'

"Is that not okay?" I asked.

"A-Ah I- Sure you can stay over!" Aether said fumbling his words again.

"That's great thanks." I said smiling at Aether.

"W-Well is your parents okay with you staying over?" Aether asked scratching his face with his index finger.

"Yea, they don't care." I replied.

'They probably won't even notice if I don't come home for a night, either way I'll just let nanny know I won't be coming back so she doesn't worry.' I thought to myself.

"Oh I see.." Aether replied quietly.

"What should we do now?" I replied looking around.

'His apartment was quite small compared to what I'm used too, not that I mind.'

( Aether's bedroom, a small bathroom, a tiny kitchen, and the living room where there was a small coffee table and a couch.)

"We could watch a movie on my laptop!" Aether suggested.

"Sure, what movie?" I asked.

"Uh- how about some horror!" Aether replied.

"You like horror?" I replied lifting my eyebrows.

"Only if it's good!" Aether said giving me a wink.

"Alright let's watch one, I have a good one I think you'll like." I said smiling at Aether.

"AH!" Aether screamed and hid behind me.

"I thought you said you liked horror." I said to tease him.

"I do! This is just scary you know!" Aether said looking at the computer while holding onto me.

"Should we stop the movie?" I asked looking at him.

"No!" Aether replied quickly.

"Aren't you scared?" I asked.

"Y-yea, but I would like to continue the movie!" Aether said bravely.

"Alright, if you say so." I said giving Aether a pat.

"EEK!" Aether immediately jumped into arm.

"A-ah, are you alright?" I asked Aether blushing a bit.

"Y-yea!" Aether said trying to act brave.

"You shouldn't have said horror if you were going to be this scared." I said holding Aether.

"I like horror! I just get scared easily." Aether blushed holding onto my arms.

"Thank you for telling me, if you get scared you can hold onto me." I said giving Aether a hug to hold him.

"A-Alright!" Aether said stuttered.
