Xiao was an average high school student. He was always keeping himself out of trouble, even though his personality was just telling the exact opposite about his behavior. He was one day walking with his classmates, the psychopathic Hu Tao and the book worm Chongyun, making their way home but out of nowhere he met somebody's eyes as they ran across the street right infront of them, only the green haired noticing. He didn't suspect but his life truly began to turn around from that point on. -~♡~- Cover art made by me! ⚠️The images in every chapter's banner isn't mine!

"Aether." He called my name and it was music to my ears as it felt like a cloud nine for me. He pinned me to the nearest wall and glanced at my lips before his gaze went back to my eyes. He leaned closer to my ear and made me gasp as soon as he brushed his lips against it. He did a smirk after he noticed that my entire face was red and whispered, "You seem to enjoy it." My hand snaked around the back of his nape and moved his face closer to me. "Yeah, so just please kiss me already." Xiao smiled and cupped my chin. "Pleasure is all mine." ••••• Aether is a young college student who likes his best friend for six years.

From the start, it was us against each other. My work made me resent you...But I could never truly hate you. Thoughts aside, you are forever on my mind. Who knew that one run in with you would make me fall in love with you. It was us against each other, but now it's us against the world. You stole the item I desired, the only way to get back at you now is by stealing your heart.
