"Xiaooo! I'm here." Aether said, holding a plate with the yaksha's favorite.
"Traveler. What brings you here?"
"I just wanted to see you. How are you??"
Xiao blushed at the sentence that was said by him, he liked Aether so much.
"Ah.. I'm fine. Can we..."
"Hangout? Of course!"
He tugged at Xiao's hand.
"Aether. Calm down."
"I- Right. I'm sorry."
They both arrived at the cliff
"It's so pretty here."
"....Like you."
"What was that?"
"Nothing. Go back to admiring the view."
....
"I forgot, here."
Xiao wouldn't take a bite of the tofu, he wanted to see Aether's reaction.
"You're not eating?- I'll eat one."
He did so. The raven was looking at Aether, who had probably mistaken his stare as disgust.
"...Was I being rude?"
Xiao's stare was blank. The awkwardness was once over when Alatus leaned over to Aether and kissed him.
"Xiao? What was that for..?"
"Sorry. I.. wanted to express my.. what is this feeling called?"
"It's love. Do you love me?"
"Yes. So much, my heart aches."
Aether was stunned, he didn't notice he went red at that time.
"AETHER!!!!"
Paimon was heard in the distance.
"Hmm?"
"Paimon is bored! Stop hanging out with your boyfriend, come on!"
"That's not nice. I'll bring him too." Aether said, looking at Xiao warmly.
"Fine fine. Come on, We're doing something with Qiqi and Mr. Zhongli!"
The happy blonde let out a small chuckle and dragged Xiao, who was zoning out.
"Xiao? We're here."
"I- Okay."
He ruffled Aether's hair, he smiled softly but brightly.
"Comrade, stop being lovey dovey with him. Let's enjoy this!!"
"Okay."
A year later
"Aether. I'm home."
...
"Aeth?"
"You met up with him didn't you?"
"Met up with who.?"
"Your ex? What did you guys talk about..?"
