aether and xiao went shopping after that situation happened this morning. xiao was wearing a black mask, sunglasses, and a cup to cover his hair also xiao told aether to wear only a mask for him too. the fact that xiao's hair back of his hair was covered while in front wasn't because his side bangs always falling, aether did anything for him since he knew that his father was an actor because of what rosaria said that night. aether felt down but then xiao touched and pinched his cheeks, he was startled not because of the teasing but his hands were cold even though it was in the middle of summer.

"okay but please don't spoil me that much."
"i understand."
a couple of minutes later, a boy ran towards them while waving. "hi 'ya, xiao! didn't expect to see 'ya ther-" the braided boy saw the blonde and was shocked. "xiao, is this-" xiao couldn't handle the loud annoyance and shut him then glared.
"i'm sorry aether, i do not know this person so i shut him off." he groaned while cooling his head off.
"what the hell xiao, can't you just be nice to your uncle?" the braided boy said.
aether blinked and looked at xiao, "uncle?" aether asked. "he's not my uncle, he's a friend of mine." he replied. they went to the cafe first so that they wouldn't make a scene, xiao still glaring at him and aether just nervous meeting someone.
