She yawned at the sight before her eyes.
Her dreams were either boring, or straight up terrifying.

She sat there, at the fountain, watching pigeons learn to fly, then fall to their deaths. Over and over. It first gave her a small chuckle, then it just became even more boring overtime.

Then, Aether walked up the stairs and smiled at her.

"Hey, didn't expect you here" He chuckled.

This dream can't be good, there's always a dark twist to it. Y/N knew this was all a dream so she stood up and walked away, but a hand grabbed her shoulder, stopping her in place.

"I just got here! Who runs away from their own boyfriend when he says hello?" Aether chuckled.

Boyfriend....

Boyfriend....

Y/N liked this. His title to her was boyfriend, her title to him was girlfriend. She liked it. But it didn't seem like enough.

"Hmm?" Y/N hummed turning around to Aether.

"There's that face" Aether laughed and leaned in for a kiss. Y/N couldn't ignore this moment, dream or not, she wanted to feel his lips on hers. Their lips met, and fit together perfectly. The two lost pieces to the puzzle were found and they were in love.

Soon, the dark part came along. The wind began to get heavy. It felt like they weren't in the gates of Mondstadt anymore. Grass tickled her feet, telling her that she was in the woods. She no longer felt lips, but the cold wind. Her arms became heavy and seemed to become damp.

She looked down, Aether, soaked in his own blood, being held by her own hands. A group of abyss mages was seen in the distance, and they seemed to be running away.

"HONARY KNIGHT!" A high voice shouted. "Y/N HAS HURT HIM!"

Y/N's hands dropped Aether, his blood stained onto her clothes.

"YOU SHALL PAY!" Another feminine like voice shouted.

People began to run to her, and all she could do was run away. She had no vision, so strength, no purpose, but to love the golden haired traveler, whom is now dead from the Abyss's hands.

She ran and ran, then suddenly stopped. A girl, almost exactly like Aether was standing on the cliff in front of Y/N. Facing away to the horizon of hills and trees.

"You know my brother. You're in love with him. But he's looking to find me"

A sword was gently placed on Y/N's throat from behind. It wasn't the girl, she still didn't face her, her face was unknown.

"No distractions"

[♡]

Y/N frantically woke up. Sweating from all the pain she had just felt mentally. She knew that Aether was ok, it was all just a dream. But she needed to check on him.

She quietly opened the door and walked down the hall, not making a creaking sound whatsoever. She eventually made it to Aether's room and opened the door, but she didn't see Aether. She saw Paimon, drooling on the pillow and snoring as loud as can be.

Jeez, how'd I not hear that snoring from outside the room.

"Hey Paimon" Y/N said, immediately having Paimon roll out of the bed and hit the floor.

"Ah! Y/N!! It's the middle of the night!" Paimon groaned and began to float up like she usually did.

"Please tell me I'm dreaming"

"Nope! The letters aren't italicized"

"What?"

"Nothing!! Anyway... If you're looking for Aether, Aether went out to help... Barbara Paimon thinks, or was it Bennett?" Paimon shook her head. "That's not the point, the point is that Paimon is hungry!"

"But I woke you up-"

"Exactly! Now! Make Paimon some nice veggie soup!" Paimon ordered. Y/N just sighed and heard downstairs. Not even going to make the soup, but to find the spot in her dream, wanting to see if anything or anyone was there. Just because she was curious to. She took her lantern, lit a flame inside it and walked out the front door.

She searched and searched all around Mondstadt, and finally looked outside of the Mondstadt gates. She walked right in front of the bridge and continued walking.

"It's a bit late for someone to be walking out here" A sinister voice chimed. "No vision I presume? Good, now you can't fight against me" The person tried to grab her lantern that she was carrying and took it away. "With the nicest stone and metal. This could get me so much Mora!" Y/N tugged on her lantern, finally turning around and seeing that it was just a regular treasure hoarder.

"ENOUGH!" A strong voice was heard then a huge gust of wind took the villain away and into the moat that surrounded Mondstadt City. The hero had golden hair, golden eyes, and golden clothes.

It was obviously Aether.

"Aether!" Y/N yelled out and embraced Aether in a strong hug, this time he didn't feel cold or drenched with blood. He was just warm and sweating heavily.

"Y/N what are you doing out here?" Aether pulled her off of his body and glared right at her.

"I was looking for you" She stated back, crossing her arms.

"Looking for me or not being out here at this time of night is very dangerous! You could've been killed! I don't want that happening to you!" He put his sword away and took a sharp inhale. "Go! Home!" He yelled.

"Is this cause I have no vision? I had a nightmare Aether! I was scared"

"And I'm scared for you being out here when treasure hoarders and hilichurls are most active!" Aether sighed and embraced Y/N. "I care. I understand you were scared, just never do this again, please. I want you to be safe"

"I'm sorry Aether"

Why did I leave again?

I don't remember wanting to find Aether. I don't remember wanting to find the spot in my dream.

Something unknown drew me here, something bad.

And without knowing it...

Aether probably saved me as he walked me back home to the house.

Such a gentleman.
