Your faint smiles - Xiao x Aether [Complete]

Part 1 - [Unedited]

"Onii-Chan[1]!"

A Man slowly turn his head to look at the direction that called his name. There he saw another girl who have the same looks as him making him stop at his tracks.

"Lumine." He called back and raise his hand to wave.

"Are you opening the restaurant?" She gently whispered, finally catching up to him before wrapping her arms around her older brother's waist.

The man named aether gently nodded while patting his sister's head. This day was finally the day he will open his very own restaurant.

"How many years was it?" She mumbled and place her head on his shoulder. Her older brother was an inch taller so it wasn't difficult to lean her head.

"I don't know." He replied, also placing his head on top of his younger twin.

She giggled as the dou continued their way to the shop. The area that the restaurant stood was unusually quite, people hardly notice this area making it very deserted. So it's most likely that no one will notice this small food shop.

Despite the deserted place, The man named aether didn't mind it at all. For he only wish to bring joy to the people who visit his restaurant. If you enter feeling down, then you exit feeling happy. That is after all his only goal and the reason he build this place.

The woman who's name was lumine, Gently hum a song while unlocking the door and look at the inside.

Tables were neatly place in every corner of the restaurant and four chairs was stack on top of each table, A huge counter with a few chairs in front of the cash register.

Lumine gasp softly when the lights were turned on. Then she saw the colorful ceiling and the soft light that the chandelier was emitting. On the top left corner of the cash register, You could see an empty black board which she estimated that it was use to write down the names of foods.

"Wow." She exclaimed and continue to roam around the cafe. Aether softly chuckled and place his backpack on the counter.

He took off his jacket and also place them on the coat rack that was behind the cash regester. He took an apron that was place neatly on a cabinet before calling his younger sister.

"Hotaru, Give me your coat." He said while wearing the apron.

"Alright, Sora." She answered before taking her coat off.

The twins come with many names, Hotaru and Sora is one of them. Aether took the coat from her arms and give her the apron before placing lumine's coat at the rack. Lumine slowly wear the apron as Aether went inside to check the kitchen.

After adjusting her clothing and wearing the apron, Lumine started to pull down the stack chairs with a serious look on her face. The chairs was a bit heavy making a loud thud when the woman place them to the ground. She sighed and went to the next table.

^°^°^°^

"This is such a tiring day." A woman tiredly said while walking. She have a dark brown hair and a pair of dark golden eyes that you could easily mistaken it as light brown. Her hair swayed as she walk in the streat.

She stared at the setting sun and sighed feeling worn out. Her head band that was shape into a bunny ears, twitching everytime she took a step forward.

After what felt like ages, She finally came back to her apartment. But before she could enter, she saw a nearby restaurant that stood proudly in the middle of the street.

'That's weird, This restaurant wasn't here yesterday.' The lights were still on so she was guessing it's still open?

With light steps, The lady gently push the door and was mesmerize by the enterior of the restaurant. The lights were emitting soft lights, Making them very easy to stare at unlike the others that will glare at you as you entered. When she opened the door, it made a soft bell sound. Everything was just cozy so she close her eyes to feel her surroundings more.
