What if they both experienced more then they should have?
The fire raged on. Everyone inside the hospital had to leave immediately. But some were in critical condition. Was the only choice for them to die?
Xiao was of those in critical condition. He had to be transported to another hospital. His lover, Aether, was here also. But he could walk. Xiao was hospitalized because his karmic debt took a toll on his body and made it hard to breathe and control himself. Aether had a insane amount of lightning hit his body and was in a arson case. He became immobilized for a while until the injuries started to heal.
As soon as he saw Xiao get taken away, he got on his knees and cried. Why would someone do something so irrational? Why would someone light a hospital on fire? This was obviously planned.
"Oh, there he is! Aether!"-??
It was his brother here to pick him up. Aether was still sobbing. His brother ruffled his hair and hugged him.
"Dain. I want to go home."-Aether
"No Aeth. We have to get the all clear from your doctor. Where is he?"-Dainsleif
"He's in charge of transportation and transported Xiao into another hospital. I don't want Xiao to die. The other hospital is so far away."-Aether
"No it's not. It's just we have to take a different route. Come, we'll find a different doctor to give you the clear."-Dainsleif
The blond grabbed his brother's hand and walked towards the many doctors that have to examine everyone before they leave.
They examined Aether and he still had weak lungs from the smoke of the fire. Weak lungs and wasn't receiving enough oxygen or energy.
So he had to get in another ambulance and go to another hospital. The doctor was kind right. Everything seemed to be a bit blurry now that he was lying down. Dainsleif and Lumine occupied him to the hospital.
Aether could only hope Xiao was okay.

"Hey..."-Xiao
Xiao was holding Aether's hand. It was cold. But it was better than nothing. He fiddled with the ring on his lover's finger and kissed it. It didn't matter to him his legs were killing him. The raven stretched a bit before talking.
"You okay? How is your body treating you? Need anything?"-Aether
"Nothing really. But you need to sit down. I promise, the karmic debt isn't harming me for the moment."-Xiao
Aether sat down on the floor. "Then why did you lose control of your body?"
"It was a great amount. And I'm sorry for hurting you when that happened. Matter of fact, why are you here?"-Xiao
"I was walking home and a lot of lighting struck me. I couldn't breathe at all. I was on the ground shaking. So then I try to call my sister and then another one struck me. And when I finally get home, about a hour later, the house gets caught on fire. You could probably imagine how scared i was when the hospital was burning down."-Aether
"Can I see the scar?"-Xiao
"Scars. Yeah sure."-Aether
Aether turned around and took off his shirt. The scar was terrible to see. Little bits of purple still sparked in that scar, making the blond shudder. He put his hand on his back.
"You struggled a lot while I wasn't here to help you. Sigh." He kissed the giant scar on his lover's back. It made the blond smile.
"I have more than that one scar. There's a burn on my arm that I am going to hide forever, heh."-Aether
"Hey Xiao. Do you think we'll ever go back to normal after this?"-Aether
"Yeah. I think we will. Why?"-Xiao
"Because this is going to be hard to recover from for me."-Aether
Aether pulled himself closer to the bed. He looked down at the floor and his golden blond braid. Xiao took the opportunity to take it out and do it again.
"Don't get too comfortable in here. I'm still gonna beat your ass in Mario Kart."-Aether
"There's the ever so cocky Aether."-Xiao
Aether laughed. He wanted to be released more than ever now. Despite his recent injuries. He gave a big grin and a thumbs up. He coughed a bit from the sore throat. But he gave a thumbs up again.
It made Xiao smile. But frowned when the doctors found him and told him he had to go back to his room because he was attached to machines and those help with the lighting crackling in him.
"Awee. Bye Bye Xiao!"-Aether
Xiao waved goodbye and chuckled. He really knew how to make his heart flutter.
I wanna make a oneshot where Xiao has depression and doesn't eat much and he goes to Aether and asks him to portion food for him to eat.
But at the same time, i wanna make Christmas smut and oneshot.
WE DONT GET EVERYTHING WE WANT IN LIFE. 😭
