Possessive ch.2 /Reupload

After the Pyro Agent left completely Aether walks over to the flowing river, slowly crouching beside it and cupping his hands inside of it. Picking up some water and carefully wiping his face, as well as his stomach before staring at his reflection from the water, his hair messed up from both laying on the ground and having it grabbed at. With a sigh Aether quietly undoes his hair and runs his hand through it a few times until his hand no longer got caught in tangles.

As Aether loosely re-braids his hair he continues to stare down at his reflection, staring at the him which seemed to sway with the water before releasing his finished braid and placing his fingertips against the icy water. Letting the feeling of the near-freezing water brush past his fingers Aether slowly pushing his hand deeper into the river before suddenly pulling it out and standing up, keeping a keen eye out for any intruders for a bit longer before he switched out with someone else.

A few hours had passed before Aether woke up again, chattering invading his ears as he slowly opens his eyes to stare up at the lazily made tent, barely being held up by a piece of string. He rubs his eyes and sits up, making sure to redo his braid before crawling towards the chattering and peeking outside. Just a few feet away from his tent his teammates are talking ,or fighting by the way they're pushing each other around, Aether begins to crawl out of the tent before shifting to stare towards the river.

He waves at the arguing threesome before standing up and making his way towards the river, splashing his face with the water, sipping up a bit before removing his hands from his face and narrowing his eyes further beyond the stream. At first the figures are blurry but as he continues to stare his vision clears, far but close enough to see stand a group of Fatui Harbingers, he could never mistake their abnormally large figures.

He turns his head towards the others who seemingly begin pointing in the direction of the Harbingers, "No need to tell them about them then" Aether slowly stands, facing the Harbingers before his gaze catches a figure closer than the others. "Pyro Agent..." He mutters as he crosses his arms, the figure seemingly noticing Aethers actions towards him and bringing his gloved hands up, teasingly motioning for Aether to come closer.

Now conflicted Aether summons his blade, taking a small step forward, the tip of his shoe barely touching the stream. "Is he asking me to fight him?" Aether clenches his blade as he sprints forward, his gaze fixated on the Pyro Agent who summons his own blades and dashes back at Aether. The sound of shouting echoes from behind Aether, quickly followed by hurried footsteps as Aether promptly swings his blade at the Agent. Their blades clashing together as Aethers teammates dash past him and attack the Harbingers together.

Gritting his teeth as the Agent pushes Aethers sword down with his own and leans forward with a snarky chuckle. "Tell your mates not to worry about you and follow my lead" the Agent whispers, Aether instinctively clenching the shaft of his sword tightly as the somewhat smooth yet raspy voice flows into his ear. He turns his gaze towards the others, working together to bring down the two Harbingers. A surge of guilt running through his body as he thinks of just leaving the people who trust him for his own pleasure.

Seemingly sensing his hesitation the Agent leans closer, Aether cursing the mask he wears as he feels the mask press against his ear. "They'll be alright without you, Look at them." The Agent lowers his voice, his whisper turning somewhat seductive. If it weren't for the mask Aether could swear that he could feel the Agents steamy breath teasingly brush past his ear with each word, "Let's say I'll be in your debt"

Aether whimpers as he feels his face flush up, shakily relaxing his grip on his sword before gulping. "What am I going to tell them, 'Don't come looking for me' 'I'm going to follow this enemy, just continue without me' " Aether opens his mouth to speak but can't seem to find the words, The Agent seemingly growing impatient un-summons his daggers and lifts Aether over his shoulder. Quickly turning around and beginning to dash, Aether caught by surprise letting out a small yelp before dropping his sword.
