Yes. Even though I don't know anything about figure skating.
And hey, this is a time for me to input my own weird ass Latino Aether headcanon. It's weird because he's a little like me 😔✌️✨ And I had to google translate it because I can't write it for shit😔.
And I'm watching Dance Moms Miami💃🕺💃🕺
It was the day of competition. They had to go to Fontaine to compete in a figure skating competition. Aether was with his own team while Xiao was with him his own. They both were amazing but couldn't spend any time with each other because of skating and practice.
The minute the blond saw the raven, he immediately gave him a hug. His teammates, all of them, were confused. Xiao held him close. One even tried to pry him off.
"I haven't seen him in months, let me have this."-Xiao
"Aether, you need to let go. I'll treat you to lunch before you skate."-Xiao
"Wahhh."-Aether
"Go get ready."-Xiao
"Nooo. I haven't seen you in four months. Four! KAT!"-Aether
"You called me yesterday. You called me while I was packing for today. Until five in the morning when I had to leave for the bus. You even saw Qiqi and my older brother."-Xiao
"Aether! We have to go get dressed!"-???
"Oh come on! Mwen jis wè l jodi a!"-Aether
cries
"Sigh. I'll see you after rehearsals."-Xiao
Aether gave him a kiss before going with his group to their dressing room. Xiao went with his group to eat first before changing since they had two hours before they perform solos.
— - Aether was up first. He was wearing black gloves, a red coat with a white collar ruffle and gold assets, and black pants to match his skates.

It was winter in December, so Aether had a solo to a Christmas classic: Let It Snow. The arena had machines that made it snow indoors. It was something completely unexpected and magical at the same time. Aether looked amazing. His hair was in a bun with snowflakes clips. And Xiao had front row seats.
As soon as Aether finished, he went to find his lover to get a snack with him. He felt wonderful and at ease for once.
He noticed he had a missed call and text from his sister. Oh great. Time for her to scream in like two different languages.
"AETHER! I SAW YOU SKATE AND YOU WERE AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL AND JUST SO SO BEAUTIFUL! I TOOK A PICTURE AND SENT IT TO XIAO!"-Lumine
"Where's Aria and Apollo? They are with you right?"-Aether
Lumine enabled FaceTime to show her brother his kids. A set of twins, both six years old, waved hi to the camera.
"Daddy! You have to let me and Auntie do your costume! It's really pretty!"-Apollo
"I wanna do Daddy's hair!"-Aria
Aether laughed at seeing them argue over who does what. They always do this and it's adorable to him. Xiao appeared behind him. Aether cursed at him and gave him a kiss.
"Mr Xiao!"-Aria and Apollo
"Oh hi there! How was Daddy's performance?"-Xiao
Aria told him all about it while Apollo made gestures and hand motions. Aether told them goodbye in his home language.
"You really have to teach me Creole."-Xiao
"Why? You have to teach me Chinese."-Aether
"Love, I want you to feel comfortable. Plus I want to understand you and your craziness."-Xiao
"How fucking dare you." Aether gave him a hug and laughed before he had to perform his solo.
"Best of luck to you. I love you so much and you owe me dinner. Alone. Understand moun sòt?"-Aether
"Yeah yeah." Xiao laughed as he went to prepare for his solo. Aether went to sit down so he could watch him skate.
Xiao was wearing all black since he was meant to portray a fallen angel. He had small little decor wings with hints of teal. He was a angel on ice alright.
He looked beautiful. Majestic. Pretty. Too many adjectives for beautiful. He added lip gloss so his lips shined with the lights and colors.
— -
Lumine came down with the twins to congratulate her twin brother for winning second place and to congratulate Xiao for third in solos.
"Haha! Ou toujou dwe m dine!"-Aether
"Aether what?"-Xiao
"Force of habit! You still owe me dinner! Just the two of us! I want to kiss you please!"-Aether
Xiao was embarrassed. He said it so loud that his teammates might've heard him. Aria gave him a big hug.
"Daddy and Mr Xiao looked pretty."-Aria
"Yeah!"-Apollo
"Okay. Who's ready to eat?"-Aether
"I am!"-Aria and Apollo
Aether picked up Aria while Xiao picked up Apollo. Lumine laughed before following them to the food court.
— - Tw: Intrusive Thoughts
As soon as everyone went to sleep, Aether went to Xiao's room. He was still awake.
"Hey. Can I tell you something? It's been on my chest for a while."-Aether
Xiao nodded and gestured him to sit. Aether gave him a hug.
"I messed up. Big time. I-I fucked up badly."-Aether
"You still feel suicidal?"-Xiao
"I was almost a month clean. I just can't stay alive. I don't find a reason to live. Some guy told me I should just quit. But I love skating."-Aether
Aether told Xiao everything. How much he wanted to die. How much he loves his kids. How much he wanted to stay alive longer.
And Xiao listened. To all of it. Even when he said something in another language. Xiao started to hum him to sleep. It always worked. He needed to sleep. It's fine if the raven doesn't, but Aether needed it the most.
"It's okay. I'll always be here to protect you."-Xiao
