It took us a while to calm down from the sudden yelling and we were all quiet for a while until Aether stood up from his seat, walking somewhere which made me wonder where he'd be going and I ended up following him.
Aether's destination was the bathroom, it made me concerned if he wasn't feeling well after the incident which happened a few minutes ago. It made me even more worried as I saw him putting a seemingly wet washcloth on his forehead, holding it in place. I sat down on the floor next to him.
"Are you alright?" I asked, obviously worried. He looked at me with his beautiful golden amber eyes, they made it so difficult to focus on his wellbeing since they were so beautiful. It made me so lost in them that I've totally forgot what had happened earlier.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me" He replied which made me snap back into the unwanted reality, maybe I should stop complaining..
"Does it still hurt?" I asked as a reply. I obviously wanted to befriend him, i'll make sure that I succeed and maybe.. just maybe.. we'll be more than friends. Do I sound gay? Maybe I do but this isn't the Point right now.
"It's better than before, thanks for your concern though" Aether said with a sweet tone of voice it made me... Blush for a reason then suddenly, Aether threw the washcloth into the sink and stood up.
"Follow me" he then said. Which made me wonder where Aether wanted to go but I simply agreed and followed him. We both went upstairs and Aether stopped infront of a door.
"We're there, feel free to go inside, but also free to criticize the way I've decorated my room" Aether said which made me curious about how he decorated his room, so I just opened the door, expecting nothing than just a normal room.
My expectations were really too low but I guess you can't expect anything from a person your age right? Well I must say that Aether's room is pretty small but really neatly decorated, he seemed to love Anime since I've seen so many posters from different Animes and Mangas I think from Overlord, Cyberpunk and also four posters from the newer game Genshin Impact.
(did I just wrote something about my own room?)
"Well yeah... Judge me if you want to, I won't take it personally" He suddenly said, which made me look directly at him, he just pushed his desk away from the wall.
"What are you doing?" I've asked curiously on which Aether just replied "just wait and watch, I can transform my bed into a really comfy sofa" the way he looked at me just made me blush slightly, the sound of his phone hitting the table made look shocked for a moment.
"Make yourself at home, I don't mind a thing as long as you're not damaging my posters" Aether's words made me chuckle quietly
"Are your posters the only important things?" I asked, still laughing
"Of course! They've survived quite a lot which made me ask myself 'how?' but Well better than when they're damaged on some point" He replied proudly, it made me blush once more, damn why am I blushing so much now?
"I like it.." I said quietly I guess it was too quiet..
Suddenly Aether left the room which made me worry a little but I decided to sit down on the sofa? But he really didn't lied.. It's really comfy, I can't complain. After a few minutes Aether returned with a tray with a tea kettle and a small box with different tea flavors next to it but the thing that catched my eyes was not the apple pie, it was Aether.
"I've made the pie by myself this morning, hope you like it" Aether said while he put the tray on the table.
'Housewife material found' I said to myself
I was calm on the outside but inside I was actually simping, simping on a boy like him. Am I that gay? Either way, he's prettier than Venti.
Did my crush really changed like this? Even so, I don't mind that, but it still bothers me that I don't know him and he doesn't know me, why didn't we met sooner?
"Before I forget, my name is Xiao" I said, trying to ignore the laughter from the adults downstairs. Aether giggled and I blushed lightly.
"Xiao.. Xiao... Xiao...." He repeated constantly obviously Aether was trying to remind himself what my name was. I let him be and looked around the room. A small shelf with Mangas caught my eye and I looked at the namens of them.
Attack on Titan, Death Note, Soul Eater, Black Butler, Zomb100, My Hero Academia, One Piece, Dragonball, detective Conan, Tokyo Ghoul, Seraph of the end aaaaand some uh...
I never thought that he was the type of person who's reading smut...
"So you've seen those books, huh?"
"Yeah"
"Well, those don't belong to me, they belong to Lumine"
"I see, but why are they in your shelf?"
"I don't know, I guess she wants to make my friends think that I'm that kind of person and hopes that it would creep them out or something"
"Did you talkes to Jean about it?"
"How? Lumine is always the one who gets the most attention from her, she's the princess, Lumine here and there, whenever she does something bad then I'm the idiot who gets grounded for that"
"How come?"
"I don't know but it makes me sick like for real, always the comparism between me and Lumine, she has better grades, better friends and better selfcontrol than you, like what the fuck, I'm not her and I have different interests and different grades"
"I don't have a twin but I know how it feels like.. I've went through it too, but with the more attention thing I can relate, my little sister is always the one who gets everything she wants and I just get small things like candy and other stuff"
"I see... But this is more extreme... Ever since my parents divorced.."
"You've never heard of your father ever again.."
"Exactly..."
"How sad"
"I agree"
"Well.. I thought that Lumine was a brat but... What you've told me makes me hate her even more"
"good..."
"Are you alright?"
Aether sipped his tea and didn't said anything after I've asked that, it made me wonder if he was planning something right now.. whatever it is, it may or may not sound good. Why should I care about it anyway?
But one thing was obvious to me:
He was more than jealous of her.
But I can't blame him for feeling that way though. I looked over to him and noticed that he was standing infront of the window, I decided to walk towards him.
"Do you.."
"What?"
Aether took out the hairtie and started to unbraid his hair. I've wanted to ask why but I didn't wanted to interrupt him.
"Think I'm looking girly?"
