Chapter 3: Aether...

(Xiao angst and a tiny bit of smut)

3rd POV:
So here they are..Xiao and Aether..two boys that have known each other for exactly 4 hours now...walking home together.
"Xiao, you can let go of me, I'm capable of walking on my own." Aether says, as he laughs a bit at him and Xiao lets go of the blonde boy, blushing a bit. For a while they just walk next to each other, admiring the beautiful and silent night, suddenly, Aether slowly slips his hand inside of Xiao's. What's he doing? Xiao immediately starts to blush, but doesn't pull his hand away  "Xiao, don't you think this world is kinda messed up?" Aether looks him straight into the eyes and Xiao feels himself falling into his beautiful shining eyes. "Why do you say that?" Xiao seems genuinely interested in what he has to say. Aether looks at him, smiling for a moment but then goes back to his sad face and stops in his track, looking up at the sky. "Well, we humans could fear so many things in this world..and we choose love?" Now, Aether looks into Xiao's eyes. "What do you mean?" Xiao can't follow Aether right now and doesn't understand a word, probably because he is slurring his words due to him being completely wasted right now. Aether looks to the ground and then looks up at Xiao again. "Why do we choose to be scared or disgusted by love between the same genders?" Xiao looks at Aether, gently smiling and trying to look strong for him. "I don't know Aether.."

Flashback

"Hey, doesn't Xiao seem kinda gay to you guys?" "Wait really? I sit next to him" "You better watch out and hope that he doesn't fall for you" Tears start to flow out of his eyes. What did he do to deserve this? Xiao holds his breath and sneaks out of the school. Outside, he just starts to let it all out..he starts to cry. "Look! Isn't that Xiao?" "He can feel emotions?" "Dang, I thought he was emotionless." 'Please, just shut up, all of you, shut the fuck up.'

Flashback end

"Xiao are you okay? Hello?" Aether takes Xiao's face in his hands, wiping the tears away that started to form on his face, without him even noticing. At first, Xiao just looks at Aether for a moment, surprised that he cares for him that much, then he wipes away his tears and pulls himself together. "I'm fine"

As soon as they arrive at Aether's house, Xiao contemplates if he should stay at his, but he decides against it. "Have a good night Aether" But before he could walk away, Aether grabbed his arm. "Could you please stay with me?" Xiao lightly smiles at the blonde boy and suddenly pulls him in for a hug. "To be honest, I feel like I've known you forever..I somehow can't explain it" At first, Aether looks shocked at xiao's words but after a few seconds, he hugs him back, quite literally falling onto xiao.

Xiao carries Aether to his bedroom and puts him on the bed. Aether immediately lays down and pulls the blanket over him. "Don't you wanna change into something more comfortable?" Xiao looks at Aether and sits down next to him. "I'm too lazy..could you maybe help me?" Xiao looks away, blushing. "That was a joke, Xiao" Aether starts to laugh. "Fine..I'll help you" Xiao says, looking into Aether's eyes and smirking a bit."What?" Aether looks into his eyes and blushes lightly. "I'll help you." Xiao stands up and goes to get some pyjamas for Aether to change into.

Aether sits up on the couch and almost falls asleep. "Aether, put your arms up so I can put on the hoodie" The blonde male does as Xiao says, slowly following all his movements. "Xiao..can I wear your shirt?" He looks him deep in the eyes, studying his face carefully. "What?" Xiao stumbles back a bit, but regains his composure after some time. "Can I wear your shirt?" He repeats his question. "Ugh, fine" Xiao takes off his shirt, smirking a little bit at seeing Aether's mouth drop. "Take a picture, it'll last longer." Xiao lightly chuckles, while Aether just takes Xiao's shirt and puts it on. "You look adorable, Aether" Aether smiles at his comment and suddenly, there's silence between them. After some time Aether decides to ask Xiao something. "Xiao, can I try something real quick?" Xiao looks confused at first but wants to see what Aether wants to try. "Um..sure" Suddenly, Aether goes up to Xiao,licking and biting on his ear. At the sudden action, Xiao let's out a soft moan, but immediately holds his hand in front of his mouth. "W-what are you doing?" Aether moves further down to Xiao's neck, kissing and sucking on it, leaving purple marks all over. Xiao tries to stop his moans and whimpers but a few of them still come out. Then, he pushes Aether away. "Aether, you're not in your right mind. You're drunk. We should stop this. I don't want you to do something you'll regret." Aether pouts at his words and tries to keep going but xiao just pushes him on the bed. "Sleep." Aether sadly looks at him, but then immediately falls asleep.

While Aether is asleep, xiao still lays beside him, fully awake. 'Did he do that because he was drunk? Or does he like me? No, we don't even know each other.'
