Warning: probably angst. It's the first time that I'm writing angst.

"STOP IT-!" shouted Aether, slapping Xiao's hand away from his face. Xiao flinched but obviously was confused, so he gave Aether a confused and hurt look. "Stop what?"

Flashback
................................................................

Aether, a vision-less wanderer on the lookout for his sister, who is somehow working with the abyss. Just recently, he received a commission to killing a flying ruin guard (I forgot their names)

The ball of sunshine (Aether) was struggling to fight the annoying ruin guard. "Xiao.. help.. me" was all Aether could say before fainting on a person, who was that? Xiao. An adeptus and also one of the last Yaksha's who also protects Liyue.

Xiao swiftly teleported to a close and safe place for Aether to rest in and easily took care of the ruin guard. It may not seem like it, but Aether obviously has a little 'something' for Xiao. We won't tell you all now-

As a lonely person, Xiao doesn't know what love is. It was hard for him to express his emotions aswell. Till now, Aether doesn't know how to confess his feelings.

➢Xiao's pov

After killing that ruin guard, I walked back to wear I put Aether, carried, and teleported him to Waushing Inu(?). I booked a room for him and carefully laid him on the bed..

Oh shit.

I didn't realize that there was a big wound visibly on his arm. I panicked for a few seconds but then got some bandaids and tried covering up his wound.

I patiently waited for Aether to wake up and closed my eyes. It took quite alot of time-

2 hours have passed..

I hear the bed creeking for a bit
Slowly opening my eyes to see a tired Aether, cutely rubbing his eye. Oh, how cute is he.

"You finally woke up." I managed to say, not being able to keep my eyes off of him. "Ah- Hello Xiao.." Aether blunt out with a weak smile "Are you currently feeling any pain?" I blankly asked to see if he has any other injuries.

"Oh? No, I don't feel anything.. for now" He replied, still having that weak smile. I somehow find it fake and unpleasant to see. "You know.. you don't have to force yourself to smile, especially with me" I caressed his cheek with my thumb.

He suddenly went wide awake and blushed "um- yea- ahaha-" Aether nervously said, looking at the ground.

"Why are you acting like we have something beyond our friendship?"
