More Xiao x Aether Oneshots

Shady Intentions

My guy, you a genius. Though idk which one is hiding it but imma make it Xiao.

Might be short, who knows

Xiao's been distant. Way too distant. Something is off. But he can't quite put his finger on it.

Aether's been thinking if he was the problem. But then again, the raven does work late hours. He tried to follow Xiao to see if he could be cheating. To his surprise he was. With his sister!

The blond ran home and cried for hours. But he had to act natural. He loved Xiao dearly, and he needed Xiao to stay.

"Aether? You okay? You've been acting weird lately."-Xiao

"No no, I'm fine. Really! Just been thinking about something."-Aether

"Okay. Just know you can talk to me about anything."-Xiao

"(Yeah, when you're hiding something from me, that's when you speak.)"-Aether

"What did you say? I heard my name."-Xiao

"Ah nothing. Just wanted you to cook today."-Aether

"Can't, I work late today."-Xiao

"Ah okay."-Aether

Aether started to put on slippers and went downstairs to cook. He looked through his book of recipes for something. Masala Cheese Balls. Those might be okay to eat alone.

Guys, it's a Aranara dish.

He thought about why was Xiao cheating on him. Is he not good enough for him? Is he the problem? Did he fall out of love? Is he not committed enough?

Why is Lumine better? She's already better at everything. And how long has this been going on? How bad was he?

The blond kept picking at his food. He didn't know why. It was just a instinct.

"Aether, I'm going to work."-Xiao

"Bye. Love you."-Aether

Xiao gave him a kiss on the cheek. It didn't feel like a kiss at all. It didn't make him warm and fuzzy like the other times he gave him a kiss. It felt like betrayal.

He could at least confront him about it. Aether would understand. He'd be hurt, but he'd understand. It's better than being kept in the dark.

"You're up late."-Xiao

"I know. I've been waiting to ask you something."-Aether

"What is it?" Xiao looked skeptical.

"Are you cheating on me...with Lumine?"-Aether

Xiao laughed, though Aether could tell it wasn't real. Xiao always put his hand on his face when he laughed. This time it was by his side.

"No, No I'm not. All I did was help her out with something and she gave me a kiss in gratitude. Though I told her I'm dating you."-Xiao

"You liar! I was out shopping and I saw you kiss her! Why didn't you tell me?!"-Aether

"I didn't kiss her! I only whispered in her ear that I was dating you!"-Xiao

They argued back and forth about it. It was horrible thinking. Aether was getting madder and madder by the minute.

Xiao sighed and looked guilty. "I didn't think to tell you. I still love you, but I love Lumine even more."-Xiao

"MY QUESTION WAS WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME?! I WOULDVE BEEN FINE IF YOU TOLD ME YOU LOST FEELINGS FOR ME!"-Aether

"BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WOULD BE HURT LIKE SHIT! BECAUSE YOURE A EMOTIONAL WRECK!"-Xiao

"OH, IM THE EMOTIONAL WRECK?! SAYS THE ONE THAT KISSED MY OWN FUCKING SISTER!"-Aether

Aether's tried to punch Xiao. He threw him to the floor to repeatedly punch him to the point where he could die. Instead, he grabbed a nearby fork and tried to stab him.

"AETHER STOP!"-Xiao

"WHY. CANT. I. BE. GOOD. ENOUGH? *sobs*"-Aether

Aether was sobbing. He finally thought he was someone to somebody. And then they proceed to throw him away like trash and not even tell him. Xiao took this time to scramble and escape. Aether stayed there crying.

"I don't wanna go home anymore."-Aether
