Cream~ (Xiao x Aether fanfic) [Coffee Shop AU]

Chapter 5: "Let's play Pocky!"

(3rd person POV)

A few hours later at the coffee shop [With a lot of customers] Everyone decided to unwind after such a long shift. Keqing and Ganyu left the shop for a couple of minutes while Amber was helping Lumine pack her bags. 

Xiao and Aether were in the kitchen grabbing items for the coffee and counters.

"Hey Lumine... I have this cool idea!" Amber said while trying to get Lumine's attention.

"Yea Amber? Do you need something...?" Lumine asked while putting up her apron.

"Let's lock Xiao and Aether in the closet! It would be so fun!" Amber said while laughing a small bit.

"Xiao would kill us!" Lumine paused after she said that.

"Oh, trust me~! Amber remarked.

"He might actually thank us." She pointed out.

Lumine sighed.

"Fine..." Lumine said in disbelief

Amber and Lumine quietly walk up behind Aether and Xiao... Getting ready to push them.

"And that's why I hate rollercoasters... You can judge..." Aether said while picking up a box.

"I see... Haha~! I used to fear them when I was younger." Xiao laughed.

"Oh, by the way! I have some Pocky for us to share. I didn't know your favorite flavor, so I had gotten 3 boxes. Milk chocolate, Strawberry and my favorite... Cookies and Cream! Haha~!" Xiao said while holding the boxes.

"Surprise!" Amber and Lumine said while they pushed the boys in the closet.

"H-Hey! Amber don't you da-" Xiao couldn't finish his words as the door was shut and locked.

"Y-You assholes!" Xiao yelled, as he struggled with the door handle which was locked tight by Amber. Some joke this was. Not to mention the closet was cramped, this was NOT meant for two people.

"X-Xiao..! It's so cramped in here... I can barely move my body." Aether said as his face was flushing, the other could likely see it on his face, despite the darkness in the closet.

"I can see t-that." *Attempting to move, Xiao just rubbed up on the other, which made for a bit of an awkward situation.

Aether bit his lip, getting hard by now as he saw the situation the other was in, trying to contain any remarks that he would possibly make about the other boy in the closet with him. "H-How do we get out of here?.." Aether said, totally not trying to hide the fact he was hard.

"Well... For now, let's play Pocky." Xiao said while opening a box of Pocky sticks, the cookies and CREAM flavor. Big emphasis on Cream there. Xiao waved the stick in the air, "Do you wanna do it..or not?"

Aether hesitated, but nodded, they were in a cramped closet, with people around, I do imagine you see how that is kind of risky.

Aether and Xiao both placed each end of the Pocky stick in each other's mouth.

"Ready..~?" Xiao asked in a flirty tone of voice. Xiao was about to win, Xiao was about to become the grand champion of Pocky and win all of the medals, but first, he had to play Pocky with another gay guy in a closet. 

"I-I'm ready..!" Aether said while his face became red as a tomato. And so, the closet scene, BEGINS. C H O M P , C H O M P , C H O M P, and repeat, until one would lose, or, the other option.

Xiao started eating first, and Aether quickly after, this continued on, but none of them seemed to pull away, it was getting tense, almost too tense. The Pocky was getting very thin, and both of them had no intentions of pulling away, and then, boom, their lips met.
