Xiao covered his eyes with his hand, trying to block his face from the rising sun. Xiao put his hand down. Looking at Aether sleeping peacefully right beside him, he had started smiling unintentionally while staring at Aether.

Aether had looked so cuddly sleeping like that, Xiao held onto him even tighter not wanting to let him go, wanting to hold onto him forever.

Xiao brushed a strand of Aether's hair that had been in Aether's face away, staring at him ever so lovingly.

Xiao didn't want to wake him up so he continued to lay there, right beside Aether, not moving.

Aether slowly opened his eyes as he finally awoken, he looked up staring at Xiao's face, not being able to help but blush as he stared at Xiao's sleeping face.

He didn't remember much from last night. Since Aether was already tired he fell asleep quickly, as soon as Xiao laid down beside him.

Aether continued staring at Xiao, 'Xiao looks so cool, even while he's sleeping..' Aether thought to himself not taking his eyes off of Xiao, not even for a second.

Xiao's skin looked so perfect, Aether not being able to help himself poked Xiao's cheek. "How soft.." Aether said to himself quietly, not being able to contain himself, he poked Xiao a second time.

Xiao opened his eyes slowly and stared at Aether, he takes the hand Aether had been poking him with into the palm of his hand, "What are you doing?" Xiao looked at Aether confusedly.

"Ah- nothing!" Aether quickly pulled his hand away in instinct, "D- Did I wake you up?" Aether asked trying to change the subject. Xiao shook his head, "I had already been awake."

"Awake?! For how long!?" Aether said loudly, shocked and embarrassed knowing Xiao had been awake the whole time.

"I don't know, it has been while now." Xiao replied calmly, not even looking phased as Aether laid basically on him, but inside he was dying with how close Aether had been.

"You should have woken me up.." Aether said forgetting he had been laying on Xiao.

"Are you hungry?" Xiao said changing the subject and looking out the window while holding still onto Aether tightly.

"Not really.. are you?" Aether replied staring at Xiao, looking completely mesmerized by him.

Xiao just replied back with a simple, "No."

Aether smiled happily looking at Xiao, only being able to feel happy while looking at him. 'Xiao looks so pretty in this lighting. I don't think Xiao could look ugly, even if he tried.' Aether had thought, chuckling to himself.

"What were you thinking about?" Xiao asked as Aether chuckle drew his attention.

"I was just thinking.. that you looked really pretty.." Aether replied giving Xiao an earnest, sincere smile.

Xiao had been complimented many times before but he never paid attention to any of those compliments. He has brushed the words of others off like they were nothing. Never thinking back about them, but when Aether had called him pretty just now, he could not help but to replay those words over in his head.

Xiao had been blushing red, as he thought about what Aether had just said over and over again.

"Xiao?" Aether asked poking Xiao in the face with his finger, "Are you okay?" Aether askes, quickly snapping Xiao back to his senses.
