_what shall I do with this feelings?_

Aether pov

Its been a month since I figured out I like him, xiao. The moment I figured out my feelings for xiao, when I'm around him my heart beats faster and the butterflies in my stomach goes wild.

I always can't help but smile when I'm around him, he's just so precious.

"Xiaoo!!!" I called out to him with a bright smile on my face as I walk towards him...but something's different today.

He's surrounded by a girl?

"come on xiao.... It's just prom.. come with me as my date. Plsssss" the girl pleaded holding xiao's hand to the level of her chest.

I felt my blood boil

"No. I already told you, I don't want to." Xiao stated sternly taking his hand back. This made me feel at ease

"Come on pls pls plssssss, I even asked your father for permission but he told me it was up to youuu" she pouted and took xiao's hand again. I felt my blood boil

"You even bothered him?. Pathetic." Xiao said taking his hand back harshly

"Aww come on plsssss" she pleaded while batting her eyelashes

I'm about to cut this girl's hand

Xiao ran his hand through his hair and spat back "Donna, no matter how many times you plead my answer remains the same. No."

My heart felt at ease with his words but I knew deep down jealously was taking over me.

Should I step in?...yes this is not the time to hesitate aether.

I calmly smiled and put a hand on xiao's shoulder and stared at the woman with narrowed eyes.

Xiao flinched at the sudden touched but quickly relaxed

"Miss I'm sorry but xiao's my date." I stated

what am I saying?

Xiao's eyes widened for a split second but agreed with a nod

oh god he agreed, I was gonna burry my self 6 feet underground if he didn't

"Huh?. Listen here missy I asked Xiao first" she said glaring at me as her pleading behavior change in a split second

"Missy? Ptff- miss whoever you are, I'm a boy." I stated and put an arm around xiao's neck

What am I doing?

She looked at us with utter confusion
"Huh?... But still you and xiao can't be going to prom together if you're a boy!" She said crossing her arms

"There's no rule saying you can't bring someone the same gender as you as your date." Xiao glared at her

Yes tell her baby mwahh

"Bu- but! Ugh!" She flipped her hair and walked off stomping her feet and I chuckled at this sight not realizing I still haven't taken my arm off around his neck

"Uhh...aether?" He said looking at me, god I didn't realize how close we were with my arms around his neck

My face quickly blushed a shade of scarlet red as I quickly removed my arm

"Thanks." Xiao said and put his hands in his pockets

"You're welcome" I smiled brightly

"Who was that anyways?" I asked Xiao as we walk to class

"Donna, a childhood friend" he replied

"Hmm... She was inviting you to prom right? Why didn't you agree?" I asked with a curious face

Please don't have a date yet pls

"I didn't wanna go with her. Nor do I like crowds." He replied staring at me, a faint blush formed on my cheeks

"Aww...but why not go? It's our last prom before going to college" I said

"I hate crowds..are you going?" He asked

I nodded happily "I don't have a date yet though...heh..."

"Hm, then don't go with anyone." he replied

"Then I'll be lonely..." I pouted

"You? Lonely? That's never gonna happen." He replied staring at me

"Ehh? Why not?" I asked staring back

"You're like...the sun.." he replied looking away

was that a faint blush I saw??!!

"The sun?..huh- what do you mean?" I asked with a curious face

"Everyone revolves around you, naturally..." He cleared his throat "what I'm saying is you're popular and we'll liked." he said and stared again

cute....

I couldn't help but chuckle "the world doesn't revolve around me, silly."

His methapor was cute...

"Hey, why don't we go together? To the prom I mean... It doesn't need to be a date, let's just show up together hehe~!" I smiled brightly, staring at him with loving eyes

"No...I hate crowds.." he replied, staring at me with a faint blush

Im gonna lose my mind. He's so adorable!

"Come onnnn pls?" I pleaded

"Please what?" He stared at me and stopped in his tracks and I did too

"Please let's go to the prom together" I pleaded again with puppy eyes

He covered his face with one of his hand as heat rose up his cheeks then he quickly looked away

he blushed omggggg

"fine..." he said giving in
