Just another cliche Coffee shop. Xiao was a boy who worked at a local small coffee shop. He was still in high school but didn't have much money, so he worked there every weekends to gain a bit to survive. One day, a blonde boy walked in with what seemed to be his sibling. He was quite attractive in the eyes of the employee but decided to push his feelings back, knowing he probably won't see him ever again. Disclaimer: -I do not own the characters. The characters come from a video game named Genshin Impact owned by the company Mihoyo. -I did not draw the cover, I do not do digital art. The art was found off Google, even though it was a repost: https://www.hoyolab.com/genshin/article/134111 •I study French as the main language at my school! ^^

Xiao has been going through some tough times, until he met his former classmate, Aether. He got comfortable with him pretty quickly, but later on he notices he's been catching strange feelings around him. Will he take his chance, or let it go and forget about them? === [TW]: there will be mentions of the following: fighting, suicide/suicidal thoughts, depression, panick attacks, drinking, threatening, manipulation, angst, mentions of gore, hallucinations, self-loathing, and topics along those lines. It's not too heavy in my opinion, but read at your own risk. There will be no NSFW shown. This is a modern AU about Xiao dealing with his crush and his depression, but other POV's will be shown. I'm not English. I apologize if there's spelling errors or weirdly constructed sentences. I don't own Genshin Impact, nor the characters used in this story. I got the cover from art of @man_goose on twitter! https://twitter.com/man_goose?t=V0jqoydMnriSbYkWdQ1Yww&s=09 COMPLETED May 1st 2022 - September 19th 2023
