~5Swirl~ <Aether Harem>

*Venti* The Rhythm Drummer

As The party ended and school was over, while everyone was going home. Aether got stayed behind because of the broken door he accidentially broke today. Apparently, the boy reported it to the principal. Aether sat in the seat infront of the angry principal.

xiaosfatc0ck: Do You know..how important out sections are?!

Aether: I'm Sorry.

xiaosfatc0ck: Atleast you've known what you've done but since your new and won a duel on your first day...I'll let you off with a warning.

Aether: YES! I AM VERY SORRY!! I WILL BE SURE NOT TO DO IT AGAIN!!

Aether said with a glimmer of hope as he was excused and free to leave but when Aether got to the front, he saw Venti sitting on the school's front porch. Aether had called out to him,

Aether: Venti?

Venti: Ah! Aether! I was waiting for you!

Aether: Hm? Why...? is there a problem?

Venti: No! no problem whatsoever! Just come with me!!

Venti said happily as he grabbed Aether's hand and started to drag him somewhere down a path which was familiar, Aether then realized that Venti was taking him back to the Gaming Section when Aether and Venti arrived and entered, Venti immediately dragged him inside the room where he plays his rhythm drums, Aether wondered what Venti dragged him in here for as Aether wondered, Venti ploped him down at the seat infront of the rhythm drums and said,

Venti: I want you to play the rhythm drums!

Venti said with an ignorant smile, Aether looked at him with a blank expression as he realized what Venti just said, his expression turned into shock.

Aether: HUH!??

Venti: Play one song!! I'll make you play a song that is super easy!!

Aether didn't want too since he didn't have any talent for it but Venti was persistant and in the end he managed to get Aether playing the rhythm drums. Aether was actually doing pretty good as the song was slow and had simple beats. In the end, Aether was having fun. As the song finished, Aether actually managed to get atleast a 1,000 points, Aether looked at Venti excitedly but Venti didn't seem to be paying attention as he seemed to be spacing out. Aether thought something was off as he called out for Venti which had got Venti's attention. Venti looked at Aether and at the screen to see Aether's score, once he saw Aether's score his mood suddenly lit up.

Venti: Congratulations!!

Venti said as he pounced on Aether's back and started hugging him happily, Aether was surprised but seeing Venti so happy he quickly forgot about Venti's weird behavior earlier as they both started to play rhythm drums together and having fun.

*The Next Day* ~ 7:00 AM~

It seemed to be another nice day in the high school Golden Oak Crestview. Aether was walking while looking on his phone when suddenly he looked up and saw Venti playing something on his phone. Recalling their fun time together yesterday, Aether felt that he had grown closer to Venti a little as he Aether sneaked up behind him and saw that Venti was playing a drum rhythm game. Aether watched as Venti finished the song with no misses, Aether spoke up from behind and congratulated Venti.

Aether: Hey! Congrats! you got no misses!

Venti seemed to be surprised by Aether as he smiled awkwardly and nodded. Aether's smile slowly started to fade as he noticed that Venti wasn't as happy like yesterday. Aether tilted his head a little and asked Venti,

Aether: Aren't you happy?

Venti: H-Huh? Yeah! Yeah!! It's just I am on school grounds! I have to atleast act like an adult! It's so hard to contain my happiness, you know!!
