{Xiao's POV}
Soft. His lips were soft. Not long after I met him I began to have these feeling develop inside me for him. Ever since I got here today all I've wanted to do was kiss him and tell him how I feel. It's been tormenting me for days. And now here I am, my lips pressed against his. His eyes went wide but then they closed and I found him kissing me back. I closed my eyes to. It started off soft and gentle then grew more passionate. We were so longer laying down instead we were sat up, him almost in my lap. We broke apart after a few minutes and I noticed his face was flushed red. His head turned shot round to the side but I grabbed it gently with my hand under his chin. "Don't look away I want to see your face," I said calmly. On the outside I might look calm after what just happened however inside I'm freaking out. I can't believe I did that. Does he even like me back?! Is he angry?! But if he was angry at me he wouldn't have kissed back would he?
"X-xiao.." he stutters obviously embarrassed slightly. I place my finger on his lip to quieten him and he looks up into my eyes. We were now making eye contact and I couldn't look away. The sight of his beautiful face staring at me. Pink cheeks, amber eyes glowing in the light from the moon and his bangs flowing over his face. I caress his cheek with one hand and smile.
"Let me say what I need to say first?" I say almost asking and he nods. "I really really like you Aether. And not just as a friend, I mean romantically." I say and his eyes widen. "It's okay if you don-" I try to finish but before I could even process anything I felt Aether's lips on me once again and I was being pushed down against the bed. After processing what just happened I kissed him back. His hands cupped around my face and mine placed gently on his hips. He had both his knees at the sides of my body and one of my knees was up. Our faces pressed against each other. We pulled back once again. He was smiling with tears flowing down his soft skin. I remove one of my hands from his hips and place it on his face rubbing the tears away on his cheek with my thumb. He leaned into my touch and closed his eyes.
"You have no idea how much I wanted to hear that." He says softly and I smile before leaning up and placing a kiss on his nose. His eyes open again and he places on of his hands on top of mine that is still on his face.
"Can I ask my question now?" I ask smirking and he nods with a huge grin on his face. "Will you be my boyfriend Aether?" I say and he nods violently. I laugh slightly and pull him down for another kiss. This time when we break apart we hear a cough come from the door. Our heads shoot to the side and we see Lumine standing there with dad...shit.
{Aether's POV}
I couldn't be happier and more terrified right now. I'm so happy that Xiao is now my lover but I'm also terrified at the fact my older sister and his dad are currently standing in the door way. They both had stern expressions on their face which caused me and Xiao to panic. Slowly their faces melted into a soft smile. "I originally did come to pick Xiao up but by the looks of it I'm guessing you don't want to go home just yet?" He said looking at Xiao. I looked down and saw him look at his dad, his hand still cupped on my face, and shake his head. "Very well then. If it's ok with Miss. Lumine here then you have my permission to stay the night." He said and both our faces light up. I look at my sister with pleading eyes and she smiles nodding her head. A huge grin spreads across my face and I turn to Xiao who is looking at me the same way. We turn back to the two standing in the door frame. "Just text me when you want me to come get you tomorrow Xiao." He said and Xiao nodded.
"Bye dad," he said and Zhongli smiled waving. We heard the front door shut and Lumine turned to us before smiling and walking out, closing the door behind her. I turn to, my now lover, and smile before kissing them again. Soft and gentle this time. We break apart and I smile before laying down on top of them. They stroke my hair with one hand while the other is wrapped around my waist. I wrap my arms around their torso and smile. I nuzzle into the side of their neck and soon after we both fell asleep.
