Aether pov

School was suspended today due to the storm. Finally a break from hell, archons how I hate that school

I rolled around my bed with my phone in my right hand. "This is boringggggg" I groaned out loud in the most dramatic way possible

Suddenly I heard my phone do a *ding!* Sound "ooohhh a notification" I said and laid on my stomach. "Xiao zhin has accepted your friend request" I read to myself

I had nothing to do and the boredom was killing me so I thought, why not chat with him?.

Xiao zhin

                                                      Aether L.
                                      Hiii it's me Aether

I instantly got bored since it's been minutes and he still hasn't replied to my chat yet. I hate it when people keep me waiting, I dramatically rolled around my bed again until I heard a notification

Xiao zhin

He's so fun to tease. I thought smiling and put down my phone and got off my bed. I sat on my gaming chair and put my headphones on and turned the monitor on and opened the game, genshin impact.

Right off the bat, I saw the friend request and accepted it knowing it was Xiao's. "Alatus" I mumbled reading the username

Alatus requested co-op mode, and I accepted

He joined my world using a C6 wanderer with it's signature weapon R5. We chatted, although his replies are so damn dry, I somehow managed and we did commissions, weekly bosses and domains. We played for who knows how long since by the time we were done the moon was up and the storm was gone

I sighed with a smile as I put my headphones down and stretched my arms

Before I knew it I fell asleep and started drifting into a rather strange dream

"Im finding ways to express these strange feelings I'm going through...but I just can't say I don't love you, I don't know...give me space" A blurry figure said to me as they hug me with teary eyes

"It's hard for me to communicate these thoughts that I hold..." The blurry figure said again tightening their hug and grip on my clothes

"Please $#$##, let me explain" I said but somehow the name I said was all fuzzy and my ears started to ring. I had no control of this dream

"I hate that sobbing I want you... I hate that I love you..." The blurry figure cried

"And I hate it when you cry" I said also sobbing

Then suddenly, I woke up with tears streaming down my face.. "What the hell?" I said wiping my tears. After that weird experience, I check the clock and was surprised that it was 2:56am

Groaning, I got off my chair and exited my room and went downstairs. I opened the fridge and saw a topperware with food in it and with a sticky note saying "microwave first before eating"

I did what it said then ate, Still thinking about the strange dream I had.

Why was I behaving that way? And who was that? That blurry figure...it looked rather familiar? Who was that? God it was way to confusing.. what was this feeling? UGHH I got so frustrated and just decided to ignore the thoughts about that stupid dream



Dream part's inspired by my favorite song "Die for you" lmao I can't read the dream part normally cause I keep singing it
