"Just as she is akin to a flower's beauty, she likewise becomes subjected to its frailty."

Aether, an ordinary flower seller, meets a mysterious lady named Keqing who came to his shop one day to ask for the best gladiolus in his collection. As fascination sprouted within them, their first meeting made them yearn for yet another, embracing a future full of unexpected circumstances. Little did the pair know, however, that that particular day changed the courses of their lives, each delving into their  hidden pasts once casted with a veil of confusion and bits of a truth left forgotten and buried. 

Only the gladiolus of old shines forth, unmasking origins of a past so far long ago- a past that remains a shadow of the present.

- 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 !!
