Stuck In Another Reality? Darn.

Chapter 9.

~I love writing sadness a bit too much for my own good- (though most of the time it's unintentional) but the reader is from one of the saddest environments to exist in sooo. MAJOR warning for abusive relationship talk~

Aether, Diluc, and Kaeya were already getting exhausted with the arguing you and Paimon did. It was either arguing or the two of you looking like dogs as you smelled all the food together.

Honestly, just because you could, you looped your arms through and around Aether's as the two of you were united in goals and also strangers to everything around them.

You dramatically gasped. "Oh, I haven't even introduced the incest freaks over there. The red one is Diluc and the blue one is Kaeya." The aforementioned deadpanned, as they for now were reduced to 'incest freaks'.

Aether couldn't help but lean in, genuinely asking- "Are they really like that?" You whispered back, "No, it ticks them off and I find it funny so I keep doing it. I should tell you about how I met Kaeya!" You said the last sentence loudly, stopping Diluc in his tracks. "Do. Not." He said gruffly. Kaeya in the meanwhile, grinned in amusement. "You should tell him, [Name]. It is a pretty great story if I do say so myself."

"Okay so, I hit my head while taking a shower, and Diluc went all housewife on me. He carried me out, put me on the bed, yadda yadda yadda. The thing was that he left me in a towel soaked in my own blood (quite disturbing), didn't give me a change of clothes, or even give me a meal."

Diluc flushed in embarrassment and at being called a housewife. You noticed it, ignored it, and continued with Aether looking at Diluc semi angered.

"So, I wanted the things Diluc didn't give me, like a normal human being, but Diluc had enclosed me in a room! I didn't have a choice but to crawl out, still pretty naked. But then" You gasped dramatically, Aether looking at you with full attention, "I chanced upon Kaeya speaking to Diluc. Diluc was facing away from me and Kaeya toward me, so Kaeya got to witness the almost naked magnificence that is me."

Kaeya nodded along, even at the magnificent part- Aether couldn't deny it; you were pretty attractive so he agreed with Kaeya on that portion.

"I signaled Kaeya in desperation, hoping to recieve some better care- but then Diluc turned around and saw me too. Cue a shouting match between me and Diluc that was mostly me just annoying him anddd...the end!"

Kaeya burst into loud laughter at the end, with Diluc flushed and a mortified face plastered on. Internally though, he was extremely glad that you were back to being bouncy and bubbly. Actually, not just him, both of them were.

You leaned in to get close to Aether's ear. "Don't tell Kaeya or Diluc, but I was trying to act like Diluc was into kidnapping random naked guys." Aether couldn't help but explode in hysterical laughter at this- poor Diluc, but damn it was hilarious.

Kaeya quirked his eyebrow, extremely curious at what you said. You waved it off, so Kaeya set his sights on the extremely flushed and hysterical Aether. Clearly it was something funny, so he didn't think much of it; he got his own share of the spectacle.

Paimon was trying really hard not to laugh throughout the story and give you that satisfaction, so she huffed and actually asked an important question. "So, what do we do now?"

"Uh..." You sweatdropped, not knowing before turning to the incest twins. "Ah, Grand Master Jean has expressed interest in meeting you Aether, and giving apologies to [Name]."

The latter spiked Aether's curiosity. "Apologies for what?" He stared in slight jealousy as you, Diluc and Kaeya shared glances. You decided to answer this one. "She assumed my sexuality, even though I told her I have a boyfriend."
