Aether's Date with the Bartender

Aether: WHAT?!

Kaeya: We're still going on a date

Kaeya said in a demanding tone, Aether couldn't believe Kaeya would still want to go out on a date with him even if he was a male. Aether didn't want to go on a date with Kaeya but he didn't want to hurt Kaeya's feelings by rejecting Kaeya's offer,

Aether: I...I need to tell Priestess Barbara first

Aether said out of pity as Aether was about to leave Kaeya took his hand and dragged Aether outside the Cathedral heading towards Angels Share making Aether shocked,

Aether: Wait!!

Aether said in panic,

Aether: I need to tell the Priestess First!!

Kaeya: Forget about them for now! And just have a fun date with me!

Kaeya said in Enthusiasm while running with Aether, Aether was about to tell Kaeya that he didn't want to go on a date with him but eventually gave up because of how he saw Happy Kaeya was, "Help me" Aether said in his thoughts.

"At Angels Share"

As they both got to Angels Share, Aether went infront of the door to open it but before his hand was about to touch the door knob, Kaeya grabbed his hand and pushed it back making Aether confused but saw Kaeya open it himself for Aether to pass through as Aether felt embarrassed for what Kaeya did, he decided to walk through anyway, as Aether got a look inside the tavern, he saw that the Bar was clean and many people were drinking beer and wine, It is to be expected it is a Bar after all, as Aether walked in the people quickly looked at him with weird looks, Aether felt uncomfortable with the stares and stopped walking half-way when Kaeya suddenly puts his hands on Aether's shoulders and whispered into his ear,

Kaeya: it's okay, as long as I'm here they won't do anything to you

Kaeya said to comfort Aether, Aether still felt hesitant but tried to believe in Kaeya's words as sat he down on near the Tavern's counters, as Kaeya went behind the Bar's counter and asked,

Kaeya: what would you like to have today?

Kaeya said in a fancy tone while holding a mixer, Aether hesitated on his answer because he doesn't drink alcohol nor wine, Kaeya noticed and spoke,

Kaeya: alright, I'll make you a non-alcoholic drink

Aether looked at Kaeya with relief eyes and thanked him for noticing, as Kaeya was busy making Aether a non-alcoholic drink, someone beside Aether's seat spoke,

Xiao: he sure dragged you, didn't he?

Aether got shocked and slammed his right knee really hard on the hard counter he was sitting infront of, making a loud thud which made everyone in the tavern look at Aether's direction as Aether aggressively pinched and held his right knee and tried to hold in his scream for how painful his knees were throbbing,

Xiao: Are you okay?

Aether: WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!

Aether shockingly whispered to Xiao, Xiao then said,

Xiao: I followed you?

Aether: How?! You weren't behind me when Kaeya dragged me here!

Xiao: I am stuck to you remember?

Aether: so you follow me wherever I go?

Xiao nodded and took out the small cloth out of his left pocket which he then handed it out to Aether and said,

Xiao: take care of the cloth well...uh...Aether?

Xiao covered his cough with his right arm in embarrassment and looked at Aether with confused eyes, Aether realized Xiao came to know what his real name and gender was and started giggling as he took the small cloth from Xiao's hands, Xiao looked at Aether with a confused face as Aether said,
