What is this familiar feeling? [XIAOTHER]

Chapter 3:"Do you think its true?"

For the next couple of weeks, Aether and Xiao had grew closer. They had become friends. Aether would either invite Xiao to the house or go over to his apartment. Aether couldn't really tell if Xiao was having fun with him but he just brushed it off. This morning was different though. Not majorly different but it was different from other times they hung out. Xiao had texted Aether to come over. Aether immediately shot up from bed and got dressed.
He walked out of his bedroom and quickly went to the door. "Aether? Where are you going?" Aether stopped and looked back. Lumine was standing around the corner. She looked like she had just woke up. Her hair was messy and she still looked half asleep. "Oh! sorry if I woke you. Xiao invited me come over so I was just about to leave." Lumine rubbed her eyes. "Okayyy, just don't stay out late." Aether smiled and waved goodbye. He walked out the door and made his way to the bus stop.

When it was his stop, he quickly got off the bus and waved the bus driver goodbye. He then made his way to Xiao's apartment. Once he got there, Xiao opened the door and let him in. "Did you have breakfast?" Xiao asked. "Hm!? Oh, no I didn't. I got too excited." Aether nervously chuckled. Xiao sighed. "Here, you can have this." Xiao placed a plate of eggs and bacon (very basic) in front of Aether. "Ah! It's fine you don't have to-" "Eat it. I don't want you complaining that your hungry later." Aether sighed and then continued to eat. After he was done he thanked Xiao. "So, what are we doing today?" Aether carefully placed the plate into the sink. "I found this place on the internet that looked interesting. I wanted you to come with me." Xiao pulled out his phone and showed Aether the place they were going to. Aether's immediately gleamed with joy. "Yes, of course! I've been wanting to go there forever now!" Aether smiled.

They arrived at the museum. Xiao and Aether walked in and walked around for a little bit.
They both arrived at this one specific place in the museum. It was about Liyue's and Mondstadt's history. Aether grabbed Xiao's hand and dragged him to the exhibit. Something caught Aether's eyes as they were running by. He stopped and walked up to a glass case. It had a weird mask, a necklace that was broken, and a weird weapon that looked like a staff. Aether looked down and read the description that it had below it. 'In Liyue's past, there were special beings called yakshia's. Each yakshia had sworn to protect Liyue and it's people. But they all went berserk and lost control. All except for one. This yakshia had the power of anemo and could manipulate air. No one remember's his name expect for a book written at that time but has been lost. It's said that this yakshia had married but sadly died with his lover during a fight.'
.........
"Do you think it's true?" Aether and Xiao both looked down at the remains of the yakshia. "...maybe it is." Aether looked up at Xiao. "hm." Aether then looked back down. He then turned his head to the next glass case. He walked over to it. In the glass case, there was something that looked like an earring, a worn out scarf that had holes in it, and pieces of what looked like a sword. Xiao slowly came and stood next to Aether. Both read the description. 'This was both in Mondstadt and Liyue's past. It is said that a traveler had came to this world and became very famous with his time there. He had earned the name Honorary Knight in Mondstadt and became the savior of Liyue. His past can also be found in a special book that has been lost. It is said that he was looking for his twin sister that had been separated from him during one of his adventures. He had gotten married at a young age but sadly died not long after during a fight.'
Aether looked back at the remains. Aether then gasped. His head suddenly was spinning and he was in pain. He crouched down and grabbed his head. "Aether are you okay!?" Xiao bent down and grabbed him. "I-It hurts..." Aether muttered. He had saw flashes of pictures just bursting in his head. He saw a tree. It was very strange. The tree had some blue glowing stuff on it. He also saw a face. It was a male. He had golden eyes and shades of green hair. Aether then passed out. He could hear Xiao's faint voice yelling his name.

"Aether.." Aether heard someone calling out his name. "What it is Xiao?" He looked at Xiao, who was sitting next to him. They were standing at the balcony in wangshu inn. "Do you really think you want this?" Aether tilted his head. "What do you mean?" "Do you...really want to go through with the wedding?" Aether grabbed Xiao's hands. "Of course! I love you very much and I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with you." Aether cupped Xiao's face and kissed him. "You're the only one i want Xiao. I wouldn't change anything." Xiao then kissed Aether. "I love you."

Aether gasped then shot up. He looked around. where am I? Aether wasn't at the museum or at his house. He was in a different bed. "Oh, you're awake." Aether looked where the voice was coming from. He saw Xiao standing next to him. "Where am I? What happened?" Xiao laid Aether back down and put a wet cloth on his forehead. "You're at my house. You fainted when we were at the museum." Aether grunted. "I had a dream. It looked like I was somewhere else with...ugh I can't remember his name." Xiao quietly gasped then quickly looked away. "...It...It might mean something." Aether looked at Xiao. "hm, maybe. Wait! What about Lumine? I haven't texted her-" "It's fine, I already texted her that your here. Your gonna spend the night so don't even think about getting up." Xiao got up and grabbed a glass of water from the nightstand. Xiao helped Aether sit up. "Drink this, it'll help." Aether then slowly drank the water. When he was done, Xiao took the glass and put it back on the nightstand. "Thank you, Xiao." Aether smiled. Xiao was silent for a moment. "It's nothing." He then walked toward  the bedroom door. "If you need anything, just call out my name." He then walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. That sounds so familiar. Aether stared at the roof until he fell asleep.
