Chapter 7: Aether ☁️

"Aether! Finally, you're back!" You say excitedly as you run out of your bedroom to meet him at the front door. When you reach the door you see something you least expect.

Aether stands in front of your closed door with his hand over a wound on his stomach, cuts littered everywhere on his body. He seemed to be barely conscious.

"Aether! What happened to you?" You shout in a panicked frenzy. You ran over to your cupboard with medical supplies to help. As you come back you hear him mumble, "It's nothing Y/n, I'm fine."

"What do you mean this is nothing,"you question as you looked back at him with worry, "Aether please stay awake-"

Just as you finish saying that he falls to the ground. As fast as you can you try to catch him before he falls. As quickly as you can you wrap his stomach injury to the best of your ability.

Adrenaline fuels you as you bring him to the nearest statue of the seven. To tour relief the power of the statue starts healing him immediately, although slower than you would like.

As Aether opens his eyes he sees he no longer in the safety of your home, confused he tries to get up to no avail. Noticing he's trying to get up you push him back down into your lap. You hear him hissed in pain as he lays back down.

"Aether, you're finally awake! Im relieved." You don't mean to bombard him with questions but you feel the need to know how he got so hurt.

"What happened to you? You've never come home this injured before." Aether shifts to face you. "Don't move so much, you might hurt yourself more."

You notice he still seems disoriented. "I know the statue of the seven may not be the first place you would've wanted me to take you, but I wasn't sure where else to go."

You bring out the traveling bag Aether usually takes with him and pass him some water. "Drink it slowly.

As Aether finishes the water you contemplate bringing him back home. "If you're feeling good enough to move a little bit I can carry you home. I want you to be comfortable after all. I can manage your other injuries."

Aethers face goes pink at those words, the gesture flustering him. "Y- yea that sounds better than being out here."

As you pack up Aethers bag with your medical supplies you allow Aether you get on your back. "If you feel comfortable enough you can sleep till we get home." you propose.

Not even a few seconds later he falls asleep on you. You let out a small chuckle at its irony.

When you reach home you immediately go to your room and set him down. He hisses in pain as you take off his adventuring cloths to take a look at his injuries.

As you walk out of the room to go shut the front door and grab your medical supplies you hear Aether grumble. "Sorry what was that love?

"You're not leaving right?" You giggle at his question. "Of course not love, I'm just going to get some stuff for your injuries. If you feel good enough to eat after I can make you some soup too."

When you come back you have your medical supplies on hand. You begin to treat his cuts and stitch his larger wounds, Aether wincing time and again. "All done! Does it still hurt?"

"Yeah it does actually." Aether responds sarcastically. With a cheeky smile on you face you ask, "Yeah I don't know why I asked but If you want I'll kiss whatever hurts to make it heal faster!"

To this Aether blushes hard before responding, "What if I say everything hurts?" You burst out into laughter, "I don't think I would be able to kiss you everywhere, you'll fall asleep before I get half way. Would you settle for a couple kisses on the lips?"

Aether nods aggressively, wincing when he accidentally hurts himself. You giggle as you kiss him on the lips continuously.

"Now are you in the mood for food or do you want to go back to bed?"
