The night sky will never be fully illuminated despite its countless stars. But can one who has lived in darkness dream of a sun? A sun with its light eradicating every chain that prevents oneself to bask in the rays of sunshine. Tormented for years in his past and carrying the burden from the fallen gods for thousands of years, Xiao have never opened himself to anyone. Yet this boy, with such eagerness to help and understand him, extended his hand in his sea of shadows. "I'm always here for you if you need me," Aether said softly- Like the warmth he's been looking for eversince. Will the strong wall that surrounded Xiao's heart crumble as a result of the sunlight? Will he be able to find happiness after suffering for centuries?

It was in December when I met this young shrine priest of the Nikkō-Gekkō-Shrine. I cannot remember his name but for all I could say is that I always called him Tàiyáng, which means Sun in Chinese. I met him during my patrol trough the Hoshi akari no mori, the starlight forest. He helped me and in return I helped him. Trough out the days we've started to get close to each other, we were like yin and yang, that's at least what the people of the shrine and the village said to me. We were always together, helping each other, telling our secrets and more, I wished that it could stay like this forever. But all stories must come to an end.. Everything will change on December the 31st..

So this is a modern AU where Xiao and Aether go to the same school and Xiao has a crush on Aether. I'm very bad at writing story descriptions so i promise the book will be better lol ill update as much as i can, probably 1-5 chapters every 1-3 days if possible. Kind of a slow burn? idk

As the wind blew through Wangshu inn, Xiao made out a small figure walking towards the inn, eyes of distrust and hurt, almost about to pour. Paimon floating next to him with a worried expression. The winds carried secrets and tales, the breeze picked up. The two who were walking then turned into dust.
