It's the wine I swear ch.7 /Reupload

The next morning Aether wakes up, his body thrown over a table like cloth, he groans as he slowly pushes himself upwards off of the table. Silently he lets himself fall off and land on the floor, glancing around and noticing that he was on the second floor of the tavern for whatever reason. Aether crawls towards the railing and glancing down where he spots his clothes recklessly thrown on the floor clearly showing where he had taken each one off.

Turning around and spotting Diluc who had knocked out sitting upright on a chair by the chairs, Aether looks over Diluc then begins using the railing to help him stand up, his legs still wobbling as he finally stands straight. Taking a few steps towards the stairs, intending to get his clothes from downstairs Dilucs eyes fly open.

In front of Diluc stands Aether, though Aether was making his way downstairs the moment Diluc caught Aethers gaze it had seemed as if he was proudly displaying himself, Diluc misunderstanding Aethers tired huff as a confident one. "Mas- Aether what are you doing" Diluc mumbles, rubbing his eyes then returning his gaze to Aether who glances down at the steps while slowly placing his foot down.

"I am trying not to slip," Aether says, focusing on not slipping down the stairs before Diluc promptly picks him up in a potato sack carry. "Not very romantic of you-" Aether mumbles out slapping Dilucs back as he carried him downstairs. Diluc setting Aether down onto a chair before going around the Tavern and collecting the Aethers clothes, handing them to him before Aether promptly lifts his leg indicating for Diluc to put it on him. Diluc let out a small huff before setting the clothes onto the table and slowly sliding Aethers clothes onto him.

Now fully dressed Aether stands up, gripping onto Dilucs coat sleeve for leverage. "How about you show mercy next time" Aether teasingly says as he slowly releases Diluc coat before quickly tightening his grip again. "How in the world am I going to get anything done"

Diluc scoffs, running a hand through Aethers loose hair. "You can always ask Kaeya to help you as always" he ushers Aether towards the door " Or you can always beg me to join you" Dilucs piercing gaze causes a shiver to run up his spine as a smirk grows on his face

"Oh..? You would love for me to beg wouldn't you" he purs out, sliding his hand towards Dilucs stomach before the sound of loud knocking is heard against the tavern door. Both their expressions dropping as they stare at the door in silence.

Diluc extends his hand to unlock the door, Aether continuing to lean into his arm as the door swings open. "You would happen to know where the little Traveler went did you?" Kaeya stands proudly in front of Diluc, holding up Aethers scarf as he smiles "He seems to have left-" Kaeyas eyes wander down to the third hand clenching onto Dilucs sleeve, trailing over to Aether's half-hidden figures popping out from behind Diluc. "His scarf?" He moves the scarf down to his waist as he stares over Aether's long hair, strands sticking upwards messily as if he had just woken up a few moments ago. "He was with you all night again?" Kaeya takes a rain check before turning his head back to Aether, moving his hand to gently grab Aethers shoulder and ushers him towards himself in which Aether simply follows.

"Now, you're just making me jealous darling" Kaeya hums out in a slightly annoyed tone as he shifts his gaze to Diluc who didn't even try to hide his displeasure, forcing a smile back at Kaeya. "Of course this would mean I am going to keep Aether" he picks Aether up in a bridal hold, sneering playfully at Diluc " All. To. Myself." He says one word at a time to further annoy Diluc, smirking in victory as Diluc seemingly raises his fist to smack Kaeya but decides not to.

"I doubt you can fulfill Aether's needs yourself as I do" he confidently sneers back, crossing his arms and taking a step further into the Tavern, gripping the door. "Have fun trying to satisfy him after me" Diluc slams the door, turning to face the counter before promptly placing his face in his hands. "Why do I let him get to me" he mumbles annoyed as he steps towards the counter and sits down. Diluc sighs, Sure he has a sort of love/hate relationship with his brother but he would never have thought that he himself would ever harbor this amount of jealousy towards Kaeya because of a Traveler that the both of them happened to love.
