"Xiao, what are you doing on Saturday." Aether asked sitting next to me on the bench.

"Probably nothing.. why?" I replied.

"Oh, if it's alright we should go out!" Aether said joyfully.

'Go out?..' I thought for a second then turned bright red.

"Lumine invited me to go out with her and she wanted me to invite you too!" Aether said innocently.

"Ah.. I see." I said sitting there embarrassedly.

"So would you like to come with us?" Aether said looking at me happily.

"Sure.." I replied staring at Aether blushing.

I couldn't help but staring at Aether when he smiled at me that way.

"Great!" Aether replied with a joyful smile again.

"Ack!" I jumped and blushed.

"What's wrong?" Aether asked looking at me with a concerning face.

"You turned all red, are you sick?" Aether asked placing his palm on my forehead.

"I'm fine, it was just a.. fly." I said brushing his hand off.

"Oh alright!.." Aether replied.

Aether: Lumine, you awake?

Lumine: Oh hey Aether!

Aether: Hey!

Lumine: What's up?

Aether: Xiao said sure to coming along Saturday.

Lumine: REALLY? That's great!

Lumine: We haven't really went over this butttt, you do have feelings for Xiao right?

Aether: ..

Lumine: You can tell me!

Aether: I think I do?..

Lumine: I knew it!

Lumine: I'm tired, I might go to sleep now!

Aether: Wahh, Lumine don't go!

Lumine: What? Why?

Aether: I don't wanna go sleep yet.

Lumine: Well I do! Go to sleep! Staying up late isn't good for you.

Aether: Wa! Lumine wait!

Lumine: Aether seriously! Go sleep! I'm going to sleep unless there's something juicy to talk about.

Aether: I'm afraid of falling asleep, Lumine please! I'm begging you! D:

Lumine: I'm here.

Lumine: Now wanna you afraid to sleep?

Aether: Because I keep getting these weird dreams!.. of Xiao.

Lumine: I dunno what to say, man

'After the long nights of having those horrible dreams with Xiao.. not because Xiao's horrible but those dreams that were horrible.. it's finally Saturday after those sleepless nights.' I sighed.

'I am ashamed for myself for having such thoughts..' I thought to myself having flashbacks of some not so clean dreams.

I sat on a bench waiting for Lumine and Xiao impatiently.

-

"Hey!" Lumine said cheerfully loud.

Lumine sat down onto the bench and pulling my head close to her shoulder clinging onto me with her arm around my neck.

"Ack!" I screamed, annoyed I removed her arm off of me.

"Who knew you could be so aggressive." I looked at her weirdly.

"Hey! What does that mean!" Lumine said angrily smacking the back of my head.

"AH!" I screamed again annoyed.

"Anyways! Where's your boyfriend." Lumine said leaning back onto the bench.

"He's not my boyfriend!" I yelled at Lumine blushingly .

"Not yet!" Lumine said making fun of me.

I blushed again from embarrassment.

"But seriously! Where the hell is he." Lumine asked impatiently.

"How should I know!" I sighed and leaned back onto the bench waiting impatiently aswell.
