So. That Spy and Assassin au huh? Yeah. We adding that dude from Honkai Star Rail. It's not even out yet, tf hoyo-


"I want to say that this. This is the worse idea you ever had Aether."-Xiao

They were tied to a chair. Upside down. Aether volunteered to surrender because the enemy had their baby as a hostage. And he's still here somewhere. It's that mother's instinct of his, he could hear him cry.

"Relax. They didn't completely unarm me. And plus, I freed myself."-Aether

Aether jumped down from the chair and onto solid ground. Xiao did as well. They both were surrounded in due time. That didn't matter. The blond leaped through the crowd to find his son. The raven followed.

"YANQING! WHERE ARE YOU?! SUNFLOWER?! Oh no."-Aether

His little boy was crying in a bed with multiple traps ready to be set off. He payed no attention to them and just set them all off. Xiao warned him, but he didn't listen. He just needed to grab his child. To hold him. And tell him everything is going to be fine. One last time.

"I'm so sorry. My sunflower, don't cry. Everything is going to be fine."-Aether

Multiple bullets shot at him. He dodged them all with his son in his hands. The boy smiled and played with his papa's hair. Aether was at his limit. No one tries to kill the ones he loves. Especially in front of him.

"I'll kill you all!"-Aether

He pulled out a tantō and started slashing. Everyone that was a coward and used hand guns were now dead. The young boy stood close to his father in fear. He was amazed and scared at the same time.

"Papa? Are you okay?"-Yanqing

"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine. What did they do to you? Did they hurt you?"-Aether

"Aether, we ask him these things after we are safe. Yanqing, hold my hand."-Xiao

The little blond held his hand. The blond kissed his son as Xiao left with him in hand. He left so Aether had free range to do his own thing.

Aether was finally fully supplied with weapons, but never used them. He kept to the tantō and just used smoke bombs as a distraction. A swing of this, a swing of that. It all meant something.

"Who the fuck is your leader? I was sent here to kill them. You're next."-Aether

A guy pointed to the opposite direction of them. Aether stomped on his head and walked off. Aether was ready to end someone's life like he came here to do.

"Isn't it the Viator? What a surprise. So you come here to end me?"-???

"The Doctor. As expected."-Aether

A blue hair adult with a mask covering his face turned around and gave a bow to the blond in front of him. Aether got ready to fight. The Doctor smiled and let Aether take the hit. He disappeared. Again.

"Shit. Yanqing!"-Aether

Aether ran towards the front. He heard a familiar sword clashing with another weapon. Was the Doctor after Yanqing?

He was after Yanqing. Seeing him going near Yanqing made his blood boil. The boy tried his best to defend himself from the strange man coming closer to him. As soon as he saw his papa, he punched him in the stomach and ran towards the blond.

"Papa! Im scared!"-Yanqing

"We'll go home soon. Where's Baba, he's supposed be here."-Aether

"Over there!"-Yanqing

Xiao was resting. More like sleeping. He was sleeping sitting up. Green cuts were on his tattooed arm. Ah, he was healing himself.

"What's he doing?"-Yanqing

"Healing his wounds. And he's tired. Let's rest with him."-Aether

Aether waited for Yanqing to be next to his father. The little blond fell down dramatically in his lap and started to smile. The older blond smiled as well. The wounds didn't matter to them now. Yanqing was tearing up after he went to sleep.

Xiao woke up to two blonds sleeping on him. His wounds were healed. Aether was on his shoulder while Yanqing was on his lap. His face was tearing up. He seen too much. How long has he been here?

"Rest you two. Or we'll stargaze."-Xiao

Yanqing's nose was turning red. Xiao held his hand. He needed to feel safe. Even for a moment. After all, his goal was to protect those in need.
