Aether woke up in the morning at 7:54 AM, he got up and remembered he would have to meet up with Venti. They had already made plans to hang out and he would hate to cancel last minute. He got ready taking a shower etc. Once he finished he went out to grab a quick breakfast. He took a chocolate croissant and left to Venti's dorm. He arrived and knocked on the door then waited for awhile till he knocked again, this time someone opened it.

"Oh hello Aether!" Kazuha smiled.

> Hello Kazuha, do you know where Venti is? <

"One second let me go see, come in."He opened the door further for Aether to go in.

He entered and waited in the living room for news or Venti himself. After a bit of waiting he got some news.

"So- about Venti..He ended up drinking last night and is currently in a hangover. So he is unavailable, he said he'd text you once he can."Kazuha said looking curious.

Aether nodded.

"What were you guys going to do?" He asked looking into Aether's eyes for anything.

> We made plans to go for crocheting lessons. <

"Oh, okay. Well you are free today right?" His eyes lit up.

> Yes, I am. < 

"Could we hang out? It's been awhile." He asked blushing a bit at the thought.

> We could. What did you want to do? <

"We could..."He thought for a moment "I know of a nice path down to a pond. We could walk it?"

> Sure! I've been thinking about walks outside campus but, you know. <

"Ah, right..Well it should be fine with me there. How about later tonight? 7-8 PM?"

> Sure, 7:45 PM I'll meet you in the courtyard. <

"Okay! I'll see you then!" He smiled happily {Was it a date? I should go set up the scenery!} He was getting very excited.

> Yup, bye! < Aether waved bye smiling back. He felt bad he and Kazuha wasn't able to talk much.

Once Aether stepped out of the door and left Kazuha lit up. He went to his room and jumped on the bed hugging a pillow imagining it to be Aether. He got up and was thinking, should he set a scenery or let it just be nature and him. He got out his notepad and started writing ideas then would decide once it was on paper.

Aether walked back to his dorm. He had gotten dressed and was excited but glad he would get to relax a bit more before going out with Kazuha. That's when it dawned on him.

{Wait- was it a date...} Thinking about it this way made his face turn red. {Why did I just realize?} He kept thinking through the scene in his head till he got to his room. Once he arrived he saw Kaeya and Albedo in the living room accompanied with Diluc who was in the kitchen, only his ponytail could be seen but it was very recognizable.

"Oh, hey Aether." Kaeya waved to him. "Where were you this morning?"

> Hello, Keaya, Albedo, Diluc. I was at Kazuha's dorm. We just agreed to go out later tonight. <
