    Summary

    "Where is Xiao?" Aether tried to push himself upright and his body informed him, in no uncertain terms, that this was not going to happen. He subsided back against the pillow with a sharp breath that cost him in the ribs. "Paimon, where is he? Is he okay?"

    "Turn your head," Paimon said. "To the right. Just turn your head."

    or; Aether wakes up in a Liyue infirmary three days after a battle in the Chasm. Xiao is right there beside him.

    Summary

    “I used to avoid all this— I used to avoid everyone.” Xiao speaks quietly.

    Aether hums in response, thumb brushing against his cheek. “I know.”

    Xiao’s thumb brushes lightly against Aether’s side as he presses a kiss to Aether’s forehead. “I no longer wish to do that. I wish to experience it properly— as long as it is with you.”

    Summary

    And Xiao is once again faced with these thoughts, niggling little things that weed up through his chest and make his heart ache when Aether is not around; he hates the feeling. He hates even more, however, the idea of approaching Aether with the intent of sticking to his side until he inevitably pushes Xiao away. Xiao has never truly longed for closeness before, and he fears he cannot deny that what he wants with Aether is not an emotional intimacy—they have that already—but a physical one.

    And that scares him.

    . ..— ~ ☆ ~ —.. .

    Showing affection by lip contact had never exactly been something Xiao was eager to try.

    or Aether gets Xiao (and himself) drunk and they have a great Lantern Rite.
