Hello guys this is my first story so I am sorry if I make any spelling errors or mistakes!
I will be putting pictures in this story to show what is going on so I will try to put in pictures. I will be uploading as much as i can but I am am busy so please be patient.

It has been 200 years since Xiao has seen aether.

Xiao thought he was not alive since he is a mortal...though still he dreamt of him every night, Good dreams, bad dreams, sad dreams. You name it Xiao has dreamt it all. Sometimes Xiao would think he saw him but Xiao thought that was just his imagination.

"After all he is Dead. Mortals can't live that long" Xiao kept reminding myself as he looked at the empty spot next to him in his bed.

Sighing Xiao got up and did his morning routine and went out to town to get ingredients to make almond tofu.

There was nothing looked out of the ordinary, Liyue is always lively in the morning after all.

After Xiao had just gotten all of his required items, but as soon as he was going to leave he froze when he saw a vary familiar face.

"Aether" Xiao mumbled as he frozen in place.

Aether looked confused how someone called out his name (Aether only tells his name to the people close to him) but when he looked up a tear dropped from Aether's eye when he saw Xiao standing right in front of him, with a odd expression on his face.

"Xiao I-I how what" Aether could barely speak.

Before Aether could think of anything else to say Xiao suddenly hugged him.

Aether accepted the hug by barring his face into his past lovers shoulder and griping on to Xiao's shirt so tightly as if he never wanted to let go.

This is what I thought it would look like:

After what felt like forever the hug broke and Xiao said  "Follow me

After what felt like forever the hug broke and Xiao said "Follow me." in a somewhat shaky voice.

Aether understood how many questions Xiao must have so he followed him without saying anything.

After a bit Aether and Xiao had walked to Xiao's home, without daring to say anything to the other. Even after they sat down on Xiao's bed they, continued to stay quiet for what felt like hours.

"I thought you where dead, I didn't think you could ever be alive after 200 years" Xiao said as he broke the silence.

"I'm sorry I never came back to you I could never could get the courage to come back. My sister left me and Pimon just left me without say anything, leaving me alone in Teyvat and I didn't know what to do so for a while I just didn't go anywhere or do anything, I-I just kinda shut down..." Aether's voice trailed off at the end of his sentence.

"I see..." Xiao said has he let out a sigh and finally looking at Aether and seeing the tears form in him eyes.

Xiao left the room leaving room leaving Aether all alone in his room.

Even after 200 years Xiao still doesn't know how to comfort people. So he left Aether alone so he could have privacy.
