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..

"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.
