>Okay, Aether's last commission is: Go to Wangshu Inn for babysitter.
>At first, Aether and Paimon become nervous because this is their first time take the commission like this
>But as soon as they laid their eyes on shy boy, they couldn't help but got a feeling that they need to protect this boy
"Miss Verr! We're here!"
"Ah, travelers you here! I'm glad that you arrived safely."
Aether and Paimon had safely arrived at Wangshu Inn since that's all they needed to do before going back to Mondstadt to claim their rewards. "So, what are we going to do right now?" Asked Paimon.
"Well, all you need to do is babysit someone that is really precious to us. If you don't mind, I'll call them right now."
Aether and Paimon nod.
"Honey, the travelers had arrived! Will you come right away?" Both travelers glance at the entrance where they saw the older male is carrying a child who has...fox ear and tail?
"Eh, who's that?" Paimon asks as both of them walk to the owner of the Inn who let out a small chuckle when they watch the child buried his face on Huai' an's shoulder.
"Bare with him for a while. He's just a shy boy."
>After Huai' an told to the boy about the Aether and Paimon, the boy raised his head and staring at the travelers
>Aether's yellow eyes clashing with the boy's (E/c) eyes
>Huai' an and Verr Goldet told about the boy who is a newborn of Adeptus that had been live with them for a while
>Want to make a friendship with the boy, Aether open his arm, wondering if the boy want to come with him
>Much to his happiness, the boy raised his arms toward Aether, wanting the traveler pick him up
"Looks like he likes you, Traveler."
Huai' an chuckle as he watches the boy who is playing with Aether's long hair while staying in Aether's arm. "So, he's an adepti? When he become one?" Paimon asked, letting the boy play with her as she flew around him. "Well, not long ago. If we were right, it's around before the Rite of Descension. Poor boy, you should see how terrified he was." Verr Goldet said, grab the storybook that is for a child to read.
"Here, if you have time, please read this book for him. It's his favorite. Am I right, [Name]?"
Aether and Paimon watch the boy name [Name] let out a small nod, reaching his arm for book make Paimon flew toward the book and flew back to the boy so she can give the book. "If you don't mind, we have some work that needs to be finished. So, [Name] behave alright?" Huai' an said, rubbing on [Name]'s (H/c) hair and the boy make a small nod, let out a soft 'Okay' from the boy
>Alright, after receive the boy from Huai' an, the boss himself give a key for a room for them to stay a night, much to them relief
>Since they have a room for them to stay, they decide to bring the boy with them to the room so they can spend their time together.
>At first, Aether and Paimon thought it would be troublesome but they were wrong.
>Because as soon as they put all their stuffs away, the boy tugging Aether's hand and showing the book from earlier, wanting the traveler to read for him
>Since it was a part of commission, Aether agreed and start to read the storybook as soon as they settle together on the bed with Aether and [Name] laid down on the bed while Paimon laid on the other bed, wanting to get rest
>After few pages, Aether notice that [Name] had fall asleep and put the book away before taking a nap with pulling the boy closer to him so the boy wouldn't fall from bed
"Ughh, what time is it?"
Paimon let out a groan, slowly waking up from her slumber and glance to her right where she couldn't help wanting to squeal at the cute scene in front of her.
Aether and [Name] sleep together, with Aether wrapping his arm around [Name]'s small body while [Name] snuggles into Aether's chest, letting out soft snoring as his fox ear makes a small twitch. Without furthermore, Paimon decides to wake them up since she is hungry and doesn't have Mora where Mora is with Aether.
"Aether, Aether wake up~ Oi~" Paimon pokes Aether's cheeks to make Aether let out a groan and slowly open his tired eye, where the first thing he sees is Paimon who flies right above him.
"Wha-? What time is it?"
"Well, Paimon doesn't know because Paimon just woke up. Shouldn't we wake him up too?"
Both travelers glance down to the boy who is still sleeping and make Paimon cooed about how cute the boy is. "I guess we have to since it's almost tea time."
With that, Aether tries to wake up [Name] and it works for the first time when both travelers watch [Name] open his eyes, rubbing his eyes tiredly. "I-Is something happened?" The boy asked but both travelers couldn't help but have the same thought.
'This boy is...TOO CUTE!!!'
>Both travelers and [Name] leave the room and make their way to the kitchen where they saw Smiley Yanxiao who is preparing the food, probably for the boy
>Paimon ask if it's for the boy and to answer their question, it is and ask if they also want it too*Paimon being Paimon
>Like, who doesn't want free food??
>Both travelers and [Name] take a seat as Smiley Yanxiao serve the food for them before ruffling [Name]'s hair make the boy let out pout
>Oh god, that's so cute
>After they eating, Smiley Yanxiao serve a plate of Almond Tofu which this take both travelers' attention
>Wasn't that dish a certain Yaksha's favorite?
>Smiley Yanxiao ask to both travelers a favor: To serve this Almond Tofu at the certain Yaksha at upstairs*And off they go
So, here they are; Standing at the balcony where they met Yaksha for the first time but of course, nobody was here.
"How are we going to call him? Calling out his name??" Paimon asks, wondering about how to call the Yaksha, remember how when they first met him, the Yaksha literally shooing them away because he didn't want to be involved with mortals.
"X-Xiao Gēge! I'm here with A-Almond Tofu!"
[Name] call out and instantly, the Yaksha appeared right in front of them. Startled both travelers in progress while [Name] had his face light up as he saw the Yaksha.
"Xiao Gēge!"
[Name] calls out happily, leaving from Aether's legs and rushing toward Xiao who kneel down to [Name]'s height before letting the boy tackle Yaksha into a hug.
"Wow, to think this kind cold hearted Yaksha has a soft spot..."
