『Y/N』

"Y/N… what's on your mind?"

I was back in that dream world. I still can't see the face of the little boy. "Another stressful day…" I sighed. I still couldn't believe what had just happened yet. Last, before entering the dream world is running into the car. Before I knew it I had cried myself to the point of slumber… guess seeing the life I'm currently in is a gigantic lie.

"Maybe we could go to my house!" The little boy grabbed my finger and pulled me along the field of flowers. Everything seemed normal at first before the sky turned red again but the sounds of fighting emerged. Screams and cries of different people were merged together… It was all distorted.

"What's going on!" I shouted at the boy as he continued to run. As soon as the voices began to calm down. The sky was still red but the floor was covered in dead, withered flowers.
The little boy turned around. Even though I can't see his whole face. I could sense he was sad. "Are you ok…" I asked as I tried to reach for his shoulder before he pushed me away.

I looked down at a small puddle and saw my reflection. I didn't have my normal e/c and h/c. I had golden blonde hair and golden eyes. Almost like Aether's ….

"You monster…"

"Wait! Stop!"

The boy whispered before plunging his knife into me. Straight into my shoulder...

I jolted out of my bed and immediately touched my chest. That dream felt too realistic… but when did I get back?

Maybe Aether carried me back here.
Despite learning his true nature. It looks like he cares for me really well… I wonder why?
But why is Aether using a drug on me?

It's too early to answer that question. I have no clue on why that decision has been made.

Another mystery is the little boy's identity. I only met him three times and his face is all blurred up. Is that boy a person I imagined or a real living being who has a large importance to this whole mystery. But I know I can't solve anything by being stuck with the Abyss. I must escape.

But I must remember what I overheard from Aether. I can't mess up or I'll get another dose of that drug. Who even knows how many times I even got dosed with it.
I'm going to need a plan, a big plan, to escape this place. This is a big risk I'm willing to take at this point…

"Y/N sweetie… you're awake!" It was Aether. Like I said. After learning a small piece of his true nature. It all sounds sugar coated. "I must have forgotten to turn on the air conditioner… I'm so sorry…" he quickly walked over to me and took me into his arms. It felt warm. A little bit too warm.
"It's ok…" I responded with a smile.

"Let's have dinner now…"
Aether pulled away from the hug and reached out his hand.
"Shall we?"

He had guided me to a lit candle light dinner. The food looked freshly cooked… I was well amazed at this sight. Before I knew it he had walked me over to a seat and helped me onto my Seat before going to his.

"Sweetie go try the food" he smiled ever so warmly. I looked down at the plates. The dish was a warm looking soup. I felt a bit hesitant for some reason now.

"Don't you want to try it?" Aether asked. I didn't realise I completely ignored him and continued to stir it around. "What is this…" I whispered to myself as a faint laugh escaped his lips.

"It's a dish from Liyue. Bamboo shoot soup… Liyue is a beautiful nation but it's deadly like all the other nations…" Aethers face turned sour when he said 'Liyue'.
"Y/N do you remember how you got the scar on your left wrist?"
I shook my head "I can't remember anything at all…"
"That fall must have hurt so badly…" Aether sighs. "There are people who are messed up. There are these things called 'mafia gangs' in Teyvat... Us Abyss have been trying to stop them for years and years… but one day in Liyue. Some guy tried to slice your precious hand off. I have kept you here ever since to prevent things like this happening again…"

Aether's face was covered in sadness and despair about those terms of events. I looked at my left wrist and saw the bandages on it. I began to unravel it and to my dismay. A large scar was under it all. I could feel the colour drain from my face. "Y/N! Sweetie! Calm down!" Aether quickly got up and held me tight. "You're ok now… everything will be fine. I will protect you no matter what… I'll never leave you… I'll never ever let you out of my sight…"

His voice was soothing. Too soothing. Could he actually be telling the truth and that drug thing was just a gigantic lie… "Y/N… Look at me" Aether had grabbed my face and made me look at him. "I'll be here for you…" he smiled ever so softly. Before he leaned in for a kiss. His lips were so soft and warm. It was such a tender feeling. I felt his body pressed against mine in such a passionate way. I could feel his tongue slipping inside as I could taste our shared breaths.

Once our lips parted ways. I could still taste him. But why do I want him back now? All of this is playing me. Is he really the same guy I thought of before…

"So Y/N… want to continue dinner?"
