<The Devil's Desire> |Xiaother|

Forgotten Our Hang-Out because of the Devil's warm embrace

(Sorry for the shit ass quality of the picture as well as leaving for days....I've just been a bit down lately but I'll make it up to you guys by making this chapter 2,000+ words with a little Tinsy bit of fluff. And maybe another chapter tomorrow and maybe the day after)

As Aether got back to his house, he sat down on his couch to inspect the pain on his knees but when he sat down the throbbing on his knees suddenly disappeared, Aether thought nothing of it and thought it was just a small  he had, he then stood up from the couch and went to his bedroom to change, as Aether was finished changing into his Pajama's which were shorts and a long sleeved shirt, he threw himself on his bed and rolled over to grab his phone whilst hugging the black stuffed cat that Xiao won for him, as he held and looked at his phone he couldn't help but think of Xiao,

Aether: Does Xiao have a Phone?

Aether said in curiosity as he held and looked at his phone, Aether then decided to ask Xiao if he had a phone tomorrow until he got a message, It was a message from Childe, Aether's friend who is somewhat a famous toy seller. messaging him about a new Café in town that just opened by Childe's brother Teucer, Aether was shocked by this information and called Childe immediately, as Childe picked up Aether's call, Aether spoke,

Aether. When did Teucer open a Café?

Childe: well, he said he wants to be a baker someday

Aether: oh, so why did you tell me about this?

Childe: We're short on staff right now and I was wondering if you'd like to try working at Aroma Mocha, The name of our Café!

Aether didn't know what to answer because he was already working as a nun in Lumine's place at the cathedral, Aether knew why Childe wanted to suggest him working at Aroma Mocha because Aether was great at baking delicious food and tasty drinks, Aether wanted to try working there but didn't know how because of his work as a nun, Aether then thought of a plan,

Aether: I can only work on Weekends if that's fine with you?

Childe: absolutely!!

Childe said in absolute enthusiasm to Aether's response as they both started to plan their meeting this Saturday, when they were finished talking to each other, Aether then said goodbye to Childe on the phone and hanged up, Aether was very excited this Saturday as he wondered what the Café would look like in the inside and outside, Aether then noticed how late it was and started to get ready for bed but when Aether looked to his right he saw Xiao sitting on the carpet next to his bed.

Aether: AHHH! XIAO!

Aether screamed in a terrified tone making him jump back and hit the wall that was next to his bed,

Aether: What are you doing here?!

Aether said in curiosity and in a frightened tone but Xiao remained silent and was just sitting on the carpet staring at Aether,

Aether: Do you need something?

Aether said in confusion to Xiao's behavior, Xiao then stood up from the carpet and sat on the bed making Aether more confused until Xiao spoke,

Xiao: it seems I really can't leave you

Aether: what do you mean?

Xiao: I tried going back to my world, but it wouldn't let me

Aether was shocked by this and asked Xiao the reason for why this happened,

Xiao: probably because of Him.

Aether: Him?

Xiao: He wants me to make...friends with you mortals

Aether was surprised that someone from Xiao's kind would want to make him friends with mortals,
