a mysterious man walked into the bar, the bartender seemed to know him. well.
"hey xiao!! usual?"
"mhm."
he started making the drink, i felt sober.
"here"
"aether!"
(narrator)
xiao took his drink as kazuha wanted to talk with aether
"what's up kaz?"
kazuha dragged him by the hand outside, xiao could be seen looking at him slightly enraged.
"is he actually human?"
"are you kidding? of course!"
"ya sure ae? what if he'll hurt y-"
"don't worry kaz. ive known him technically half of my bartender life."
"-okay. whatever makes you happy"
kazuha was there with aether ever since he came to inazuma, which was before aether had worked at a bar
he could describe aether as sweet; merry... every single positive word found.
"okay, xiao. im ba-..."
he was nowhere to be seen, but the fee including a tip was on the table. with a note?
(aether, meet me by the cathedral at midnight 12:00)
"huh.."
"he was strange for sure." kazuha muttered while patting aether's shoulders
alright, this is my leave. bye ae!
10:00 cleaning time
11:00 closing
12:00 meetup
aether was peacefully walking to the nation's top cathedral, xiao wasn't there according to him. until a blow of wind came
"aether"
he flinched by the sudden doing
"ah! hi xiao!!"
"who was that guy?"
"mh don't worry. he's my best friend"
xiao rolled his eyes
"iao, you're the most jealous man ive ever met in my whole life."
"you know other men?"
"see, that's why. haha, now come on, let's go to windrise."
...
they arrived and xiao sat down under the enormous tree.
xiao was signalling aether to sit on his lap
"hm?"
aether did so, afterwards xiao gave him too much smooches and kisses
"ah! i fell into a trap .. uwahh.."
"you're hair... is just like the sun"
"mh, my silly yaksha"
he moved his hair and kissed xiao by the ear.
"i love you"
"i love you-"
"COME ON LOVEBIRDS!!"
"--too.. venti, we'll come later."
"okay!!" he ran back to the squad
"he's so adorable" aether said, an attempt made to make xiao jealous
"hey. you're mine, only mine dummy"
he leaned forward and kissed him again, gently
"uhff... do you wanna go to the others now?"
he nodded his head in response, then they disappeared
