If Aether's being honest, sex with his boyfriend is a little too vanilla.

But he can't honestly blame Xiao or himself for it. They barely have any time for themselves. Xiao is always busy with work, having to drop out of collage to look after his adopted younger sister Ganyu.

He offered to help them but his boyfriend had refused his help and instead chose to take on a second job.

Aether on the other hand was on his first year of college, and was usually busy attending classes or studying at campus. The only times he would go over to his boyfriend's house was in the weekends and if he was there all they did was watch a movie together and with Ganyu or just make out in their alone time.

It never went too far as Ganyu would be in the room next door and they didn't want to traumatize the 13 year old girl. Aether thought she was starting to ease up around him and he didn't want to ruin that by having sex with his boyfriend just because he was a little horny.

This weekend was just like the others but Xiao looked more excited than usual, he wondered if his job gave him a raise or if he got a gift for Ganyu that he knew she would like. Either way he would be happy for them.

"Is something up?" Aether finally asks after dinner as he's laying on Xiao's bed playing with the end of his blonde braided hair.

Xiao lays down next to him and gives him a soft kiss.

"Ganyu is gonna stay over with some friends for the day. So we have it all to ourselves."

Aether sits up instantly. "For real?"

Xiao nods. "We can go on a date tonight. Wherever you like."

Honestly the blonde just wants to do whatever Xiao likes but he knows the dark haired male would just repeat that he likes whatever Aether likes so he doesn't want to go into an endless conversation about that.

"Okay. Let me see what I can find."

Ever since Aether started collage he has tried to convince himself really hard that he's an adult that he should act like one. But.... It's so hard being an adult, he has learned. All he wants to do sometimes is go back in time and re-experience all the things that made him happy as a kid or a teen.

So he suggests that they go to their favorite ice cream place and then go to the playground that's always empty just by their home.

Xiao finds it silly but he loves Aether and knows that he will enjoy being with the blonde no matter where they go so he gets his keys, grabs Aether's hand and leads him outside to get in his car.

Ganyu had already left a while ago, and she seemed just as excited to be going out with friends so she wasn't even the least bit concerned what they would be up to. The last thing she did before she left was give them both a hug and a wave of goodbye.
