"Paimon can't believe they're actual lovers. And Paimon can't believe you agreed to help Al Haitham set his date!"
Paimon huffed as she folded the blanket and threw it towards Aether. Aether skilfully caught it before shoving it into the teapot.
"He's paying us good Mora for it though"
Aether slid in the unlit torch into the teapot and it disappeared. Probably reappearing inside his inventory.
"Hmph! And we have to clean up while he gets to go back earlier"
"It's part of the deal Paimon. Just shut up and help gather the seelies back here"
Paimon huffed before pulling out a small whistle and blowing it. The seelies that were wandering around the area quickly came to her and lined themselves up. Paimon smiled at the seelies.
"Well... I guess training the seelies to play drums wasn't all that bad. They're just so cute and adorable!"
Paimon flew forward and hugged the seelies who nuzzled into her. Aether seeing the adorable scene chuckled before calling the seelies to go back into the teapot.
Aether sighed as they finished all the cleaning and are walking back to the village.
"It's such a shame though.."
"What is?"
"Al Haitham didn't go through with his plan tonight"
"Huh?"

You were already fast asleep. The journey back made you tired and the moment you stepped inside the room you immediately went for your bed.
Al Haitham sat on the edge of his bed looking at your sleeping form while holding a small box in his hand.
He looks down at the box and opened it revealing the silver ring inside.
"Didn't manage to take the chance.."
He sighed and closed the box before putting it inside his bag. He then got up to get ready for bed.
A certain God watching over could only sigh in disappointment. (It's me. I'm disappointed)

Al Haitham found himself in endless darkness. Turning left and right. Up and down. Everything was dark. Nothing could be seen except for himself.
Slowly he began to hear something. It was faint and slowly but surely getting clearer. It was your scream coming from above.
He instantly look up only to find you suspended in the air slowly falling down as you struggled to go up. It's like you're drowning.
"I don't want to forget!"
Al Haitham's eyes widened as he saw something far above you. It was a group of blurry people who seem to be reaching out to you.
"Don't make me forget! Please!"
Al Haitham found himself stuck in place not able to reach out to you. He found himself speechless as he couldn't open his mouth and let out any sound.
Slowly you descended towards him. His arms moved out of their own will and caught you. Slowly trapping you in his embrace. He whispered in your ears though he didn't mean it.
"You belong with me.. you've always belonged here with me.. forever. Stay with me in Teyvat. Forget your own world"
Who was putting these words through his mouth? He was sure he wasn't the one who said it but it was his voice right? It was his lips that moved and his vocal chords that formed those words.
He could only stay and let the unknown force the words out of his lips. Your crying face hurts him much more than he would've thought.
You shouldn't be like this... You should be happy. You shouldn't be forced to stay here with him against your will.
Al Haitham wanted to let go of you but his body didn't comply to him. It refused to let you go as his hands stroked your head and wiped your tears. His own voice telling you to stop crying and just embrace this fate.
Suddenly everything returns to black. Al Haitham woke up.
~~~~
He gasped. His eyes opened wide as he clutched his own arms. It was still dark outside. He turns to see you still asleep.
Your expression serene and peaceful unlike the one he just saw in his dream. He let out a sigh of relief knowing that it wasn't real.
His hand searched into his bag and pulled out a box. Opening the box he stared at the ring with an unreadable expression.
Keeping you here is wrong isn't it? It's selfish of Al Haitham for wanting you to stay... Afterall you belong to another world.
He's heard and old man say something about love once.
"If you love someone you'll let them go. You'll set them free. You'll prioritise their happiness over yours. Even if you have to sacrifice yourself"
Al Haitham looks up from the ring and towards your sleeping figure. Something flashed in his eyes as he watched you.
"Letting you go..."
He took the ring out of the box and kept it in his pocket. He put the empty box back into his bag.
Al Haitham sighed as he stood up and then walked towards the door. Giving you one last glance before exiting.
