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?

- x x - "I've never liked dreaming. No matter what I dreamed of, I could neither control it nor easily escape. But, recently.. it's you that I keep seeing." "..Me? Of all people? Why not Zhongli, or Ganyu?", Lumine asked. She seemed pleasantly surprised, but her tone had a hint of curiosity in it. "I don't know. All my dreams of you are of idle strolls and outings. Every time I awake, I can't help but wonder if I deserve to have such sweet dreams. Even now, I can't find the answer to that question.", Xiao replied. "Well, I'm glad your dreams now are pleasant, at least." Lumine smiled. Her golden eyes shined like topaz under the night sky. "Do you really enjoy spending time with me that much?" "Honestly, I do.", Xiao turned to face her. "Spending time with you is the highlight of my day." Xiao smiled, but it faded just as quickly as it appeared. Lumine looked at him and smiled. Then, she offered him her hand. Xiao looked at her hand, and, although he was a bit hesitant at first, he held her hand. Then, they looked back at the stars. - x x - A story about Xiao and Lumine falling in love, as well as a few peeks into Xiao's past. Just as simple as that. !! DISCLAIMER !!

Xiao had been awaiting your arrival without even knowing. When you showed up on his doorstep bright-eyed and ignorant, he was thrown back into a hole of grief and regret. Your journey together was not an easy one. Friends from the past, battles of new and old, you are forced to remember even the things you wish you could put behind you. ࿐ LOWERCASE INTENDED. ࿐ This was written before the 2.7 Perilous Trails event, so excuse any misinformation. ࿐ CONTENT WARNING: language, suggestive content, violence, death, drinking.
