Aether's POV
Xiao is still sleeping when i wake up, it's early in the morning and quite cold from the March breeze, so i shut the window and get changed in the bathroom.
I go downstairs and meet Lumi, about to go shopping, when Xiao wakes up and sees me leaving. I look back and see him just staring at me, and i'm like 'this man has it out for me.' Quickly, i leave and we go shopping for the day.
{~~~}
We return and Xiao is in the lounge, it seems like he's waiting for me when we enter with several bags. The new shopping center in Liyue, We must have spent like 100,000 mora. I bought Xiao a very fancy flower hairpin to try and settle the dispute.
I gave it to him when we finished dinner and said "I'm sorry if i made you mad or invaded your space"
He looks at it, and he says extremely angrily "I'm not gay like you. I dont wear things like this. Take it back or whatever".
Lumi comes sprinting in, tells xiao to fuck off, and being a sister that has me whenever i need her, we talked.
"Be prepared for what im about to tell you"
"For what?" i return
"It's about Childe"
"Fuck. What did he do now?"
"I was by the shopping center in Liyue today and suddenly i saw him with another girl by the name of Yoimiya"
"O-oh okay"
"So i, being the defender of my brother, went to her and pulled her aside acting like i had something important for her"
"Yeah?"
"I asked how long her and childe have been together, and she cheerfully said that their anniversary was today"
"Wait, so-" i gulped and my face turned red
"Their anniversary was March 20th! They were together not even a month after you two got together! What a sl/t!"
"I-" i had no words, i was trying hard not to cry
I ran to Xiao's room, hoping he wasn't in there. The guy that i loved was cheating on me when we got together in February 2020.
I was sobbing in the corner, and in walks Xiao.
"Hello, i just w— ..are you okay?"
He saw me in the corner in tears and i said, in sobs, "I don't give a f/ck, just hate me! i guess i'm unlovable anyway"
He says in a calmer voice with his face turning red, "i'm sorry for being so mean to you"
I look up at him and stand up and hug him. I don't know, it was some kind of instinct.
Xiao's POV
i felt so bad for the way i treated him so i went to apologize. Then he hugged me. I didn't want to be mean so i just hugged him back. But his embrace, the energy, it made me feel warm. What is this feeling?
I asked him calmly "what happened?"
He said that the guy he once dated was cheating on him only a month after they got together. I felt so bad for him.
He was still crying. I've never seen emotion like that. Maybe Khaenri'ah wasn't as emotionally deficit as i thought it once was. His twin sister Lumine walked in and sat down. She said to me in a snarky tone, "you done being an asshole now?" And he returned and said "i apologized and i feel bad. I was in a horrible mood."
Aether's POV
Xiao's hand on my back was warm and he knew just how to comfort me. His embrace, it was like i was hugging a soulmate. What if? i stopped crying eventually when xiao got up and walked out.
Xiao's POV
I walked out of the room because i couldn't hold the blush in anymore. I literally get like i just met someone that i love dearly. But it's not right, I'm a guy, he's a guy, i can't just sit there and be abnormal like that.
But it's this feeling of completion that made me want to explore it more. I went to the only person that i knew would understand, Cloud Retainer. She knew already.
"One knew that you were different from the rest when One saw you as a child"
"One believes that if you repair your relationship with the Honorary Knight of Favonius, he might like you back"
"One is proud. It is okay to be the way you are."
I think that i almost fainted at the advice. I really need to repair everything. This man has me in a chokehold already and it hasn't even been a week.
His love language is physical touch, and mine is too. But i've never actually been in a relationship before. But it seems like i can try.
I return home and see Aether asleep in the bed, but he's not shyly sleeping anymore. His face is facing the canter and i can't imagine how he's feeling. His face, it's captivating, His eyes are closed, he looks at peace.
I say quietly, "i think i'm falling in love with you"
