Chapter 27

* 2 days passed, and nothing changed , the days were passing like minutes... without meaning..

* i was on one of my usual night walks , sitting on the same roof as always

* the moon was shining into the night sky , no clouds covering its beauty, feeling a small breeze going through my hair

* i wanted to go somewhere i haven t been in a while , so i went into Dragonspine , through the snow and winds of the mountain

* i realized i was in the same area where me and Xiao talked... after... he told me that something was off with my sister.. i didn t believe him then... but it s too late for that now

* as i sat down on some rocks, i suddenly felt someone s presence , it felt so peaceful and.. somehow familiar...

* i looked at the view , not feeling like i should be in alert , just enjoying the beautiful view as the wind would go through my hair , feeling a bit cold as snowflakes were falling from the sky onto me..

* i had a small and peaceful smile on my face as some kind of dust was brought by the wind around me, it was... the same as a few night a ago... on my window... the blue-ish sparkle...

* i looked at the sparkle as it was carried by the wind alongside the snowflakes that were coming from above

"Aether...."

* my eyes widen and tears fill them as i can t believe what im hearing
'...n-no... it can t be....
Can it....?'

* i slowly turn my head to look behind me as the sparkle fades into thin air ,a small smile appearing on my face

* i look at the person behind me with tears in my eyes
"XIAO!!"

* i run up to him and hug him tightly
"Xiao...! I-i.. i can t believe it s you...! I-it s you right..? How did you escape? Are you alright...??"

* he hus me back in tears as well , we hold onto eachother tight
"Im ok... everything s ok.."

* i cry happy tears as we had both fallen into the snow, i laugh through my cries , im so happy... i feel his arms around me , caressing my hair and holding me close

"Im so... so glad you re alright... and here... with me.."

"Me too, Aether... me too.. i missed you so much..."

* he doesn t let go of me , holding me in his embrace for dear life , nothing could ruin this perfect moment...

* i look in his eyes and smile softly
"I thought I would never see you again..."

* he cups my cheek and wipes away my tears
"Im here now..."

"But... how did you get away...? How did you escape from her...?"

"Well.. i haven t exactly escaped... I... i made a deal with her.. she will sly through me just like she did with your sister , but you will be able to tell when that happens... my behavior would change, and... well anyway... you will know if that happens.. but for now... im so happy to see you... i was so worried.! And im sorry.. that i made a deal with her... but it was the only way for me to get to see you again... please don't be mad."

"Mad... im happy... really really happy.! to see you... to have you here... with me again.."

* we hug for a bit longer as he continues to wipe my tears with his thumb ,caressing my cheek as well

* after a while ,we get up from the snow, i felt.. alive.. for the first time in months.. and it was all thanks to Xiao.

* "Would you like me to teleport us somewhere, Aether..?"

"Can we... walk..? I want to spend as much time with you as i possibly can.."

"Oh, sure, that is ok too.!"

* he smiled and took my hand in his as we walk down the mountain

* our hands remain locked together ,i tell Xiao about what happened ever since he was gone ,eventually leaving the mountain and going back twoards Mondstadt

* we walk around the city as well, my hand never leaving his

"Hey... Xiao... uhm.. do you remember what you said... last time i saw you...? When she... locked you back in her... void..?" (I still have no idea what to call it)

"Oh..."

* Xiao s face flushed as he looked to the side, his grip on my hand tightening slightly

"I... i meant it.. i love you, Aether.."

* he looked into my eyes as he held my hand , his golden eyes sparking in the moonlight

Hiii!!
I know it s been SO LONG , but i had some struggles and i still  have but i convinced myself to finish at least another chapter and im really sorry that it took so long , and i also want to apolagize for how i made Aether s character in this story , because some of you might think i made him be desperate for Xiao like most stereotypes, which i didn t realize while writing this , it s been more than a year since i started this and im sorry it takes so long for me to write such short chapters, but about Aether: he isn t supposed to be desperate for Xiao ,but he is tired , has been through a lot and when you re tired of everything and everyone around , you feel the need to have the person you love by your side , so this is the reason why he is was so desperate and so.. well.. depressed when Xiao was gone , i hope you understand that , and im also sorry for including sh in one chapter from before ,i feel like i shouldn t have said that , because it s ooc (out of character) but that was my way of putting my struggles in here and im sorry for that.
Also sorry that this is so long , and i feel like this story doesn t make sense in many chapters but as i said , this is the first story i write and i hope my writing has improved;
That s all for now , love you all and im sorry if the next chapter will take long for me to post,  byee <3
