< masterlist >

aether isn’t quite human. at least not entirely, not anymore.

it could be argued that even prior to coming to teyvat, he and his sister weren’t entirely human. they were nearly always stronger than the native life wherever they traveled, never lingering long enough for an accurate portrait to be drawn. between their glittering wings and the razor sharp swords at their hips, it could be easily argued that from the perspective of the people they visited they could be called angels.

a few wrote legends about them. the gilded warriors with shimmering swords that blinded as they slashed, so in step with each other that it was as if they were one being. the saviors, the adventurers, the peaceful giants, twin faces atop four wings apiece. lumine always managed to sneak away a copy of these legends, and they privately laughed over the artwork at their camp that night.

“we don’t look that intimidating, do we?”

“i’m fairly certain-… hang on, is that a tail?”

“that’s supposed to my hair, i think.”

“no no, look. it connects lower, here.”

“…by the stars-”

they didn’t see themselves that way, though. they were simply twins, defined by the other in every sense. never apart for long, always stood side by side, trading swords before a dangerous fight as a promise to return them.

‘draw me with courage.’

‘wield me with valor.’

lumine and aether and aether and lumine. they never fussed about the order, so long as they were together. call them whatever you’d like, insults or praise or a simple, tired request to leave, as long as it was both of them. they were all they had left. the other half of their life. to try and pry apart the seam would only result in bleeding hearts, limbs tangling together to at least die by the other’s side. even ‘twin’ was too simple a word to fit the entirety of their lives into. ‘twin’ implied a degree of separation, an impossible gap between them where wind would blow and the world would dig into, pushing them away like waves in a boat’s wake. ‘twin’ was too shallow a word, to bitter, too small to encompass everything they felt.

such fervent devotion could never be considered ‘human,’ for no human would ever live long enough to know the fear that came with knowing everything that swelled would eventually fall. no human would clutch so desperately to the twin pillars in their life—would ever consider basing their world upon two things. they’d call it foolish, even, for what would you do if one collapsed?

aether never liked that question. he didn’t like it when he and lumine first heard it, he didn’t like it when he and lumine heard it a second time, he didn’t like it anytime he and lumine heard it after that. he didn’t like it now, her sword slipping from his hands as he reached, his fingers barely brushing hers.

the unknown god laughed, and he barely had time to feel rage before the world closed in on him and his memory faded away.

aether and lumine. lumine and aether. she was always insistent upon his safety, but just this once he wished she wasn’t. living in whatever stasis she was in within that cube would certainly hurt less than this, bile rising in his throat at his failure.

somewhere in his mind, he knew that it logically wasn’t his fault. he remembered the layer of warmth that had surrounded him mid-battle, saw the reflection of understanding in lumine’s eyes. it wasn’t technically his fault, he didn’t ask to be saved, ignoring that it was his own actions that led to his god’s blessing. perhaps if he wasn’t so strict about the time of his prayer he wouldn’t have to be alone on this beach, though there was no way to find out. the sand stretched on either side, and though it wasn’t infinite, he had not left the immediate area around where he’d first woken up. to move was to move on, to leave, to accept that his world had shattered into a thousand little fragments and to give up on picking them off the floor. he couldn’t leave. to leave was to surrender to this new fate. to leave was to forget about his sister, to forget about his self, to forget about the half of his life he never imagined he could lose.

family and faith. to lose his gods favor was a threat he could live with, as there would only be himself to blame. but his sister?

if he hadn’t fished up paimon, he’s not certain he would have eaten the fish that came up instead.

she was bright, bubbly, at least after coughing up an impossible amount of seawater. she thanked him profusely while wringing out her hair, insisting on helping him in return because “it’s only fair!” as if he wasn’t three times her weight (save her magic) and and ten times as strong.

and he let her. he’s not sure why, but he did. he watched her fumble to catch crabs, ending up covered in sand, and managed a weak smile. it was for her, he told himself, spearing three with a sword that wasn’t his, helping her arrange driftwood into a measly campfire. he hardly felt hungry despite being on the beach for what had to be a few months in local time, but she was so insistent that he have some.. it was for her benefit. he just had to get her somewhere safe, then… then…

“so, where are you from?”

aether looked up from his barely-touched meal, meeting her eyes. they were so wide and earnest, too trusting for someone that just met him.

not that he had any ill intentions. no, lumine would always joke that the day he was willingly rude to another would be the day the sky turned red—something that had been the case on one of the planets they’d visited, much to her delight.

aether turned back to the fire, pushing aside the memory. “another planet.” his voice was hoarse and his throat scratched with salt from attempting to drink the seawater earlier, which was not as potable as he’d hoped. “i flew here with my sister.”

“you have a sister?” paimon looked around, though they both knew she wouldn’t find anything. “where is she?”

aether swallowed salt and bile, taking another bite of his crab just to stall. “how about we talk in the morning?”

she let the topic drop.

he didn’t sleep that night, lending her his scarf as a pillow and keeping watch. she didn’t wake when the moon erased the shadows in the sand, or when the sun first crested the sea, or when the sky fully lightened to a pale blue, birdsong filling the air. one of the remnants from the fire found its way into his hand, reaching out to gently shake her awake. her eyes were heavy and she covered her mouth as she yawned, aether looking away before his own could water.

he drew nothing in the sand as she asked her questions—who are you, where’d you come from, who are you missing, what happened to her, why didn’t you do anything?—sketching out mountains and seas he wiped away as soon as they took form. he spoke for much longer than he meant to, his words pulled out as if they were tied to some invisible string.

when was the last time he was alone for this long?

paimon listened intently, brows drawn and frowning deeply, watching as he carved twin—twin, separated by time and space—stars into the sand. “so… what you’re trying to say is that you fell here… from another world? but when you wanted to leave, to go on to the next world, your path was blocked by some unknown god?”

wow, he wanted to snark, i didn’t know there was an echo out here! but the chance never came. magic gripped him by the throat and his eyes went wide in panic, his mouth shaping words he didn’t choose to say by force. he didn’t want to say what someone else told him to. he didn’t know what was going on. he was being pulled at some ghost’s whims, walking stiffly across the sand. it did not skid from beneath his feet, nor pull his balance one way or another. it was solid as stone, leading him up the beach without warning, without knowledge of why or when it would stop.

when was the last time he was this helpless?

(lumine.)

he stumbled across the shore on uncoordinated limbs, fighting fruitlessly. ahead, slime bubbled up from where the sand met the sea, but the ghost did not stop. mist coagulated into a pale blue blob with hazy spots for eyes, and only then was he allowed to stop. paimon yelped and ducked behind him, a familiar weight sinking into his hand. the slime had barely the chance to turn and see him, jerking up as if surprised, when his arm slashed forward.

a sword. not his sword, not lumine’s sword, but a sword, pulled from nowhere, the dull blade hacking at the blob of its own will until the sludge dispersed and sunk back into the sand. a soft mist lingered above the sand, but he was pulled forward without care or remorse. he didn’t even know if it would have hurt him.

weight hit him between the shoulders, cold spreading over his skin and absorbing into his skin. energy buzzed beside his ear, his earring humming with neither outlet nor conduit. were he anyone else, he would have been afraid, but he recognized the buzz. all at once, he understood. all at once, the weak puppetry was vindicated, his muscles relaxing and letting it happen. your energy sank into him, and he let himself stop worrying.

if you were here, he’d be okay. if you were here, you could fix this.

if you were here, he could find his sister, and everything would be okay again.

aether was not human. not entirely, not anymore, and he knew the people of mondstat could tell. you had stayed to guide his body for a week, alternating between helping the knights with dvalin and exploring the plains of mondstat. he was weak and your grip was frail, his attacks uncoordinated and clumsy, but you were there. you understood. the cavalry captain gave him a long stare as they exited his domain, a mix of curiosity and disbelief swirling in his one eye.

when you finally left, you did so in the middle of mondstat square. a physical weight lifted from his shoulders, the anemo he’d absorbed turning from calm and controlled to pushing at the edges of his form, trying to make him give. the anemo archon approached, soothing the wind with a wave of his hand, pulling him along for a drink and a chat. his knees did not want to bend without your command, his mind fraying a bit from continued exposure.

“how interesting, that you’re still standing after a week without rest,” the bartender remarked, the glass in his hands obviously an excuse to keep them above the bar. “what’s your name, outlander?”

he did not think of his own name. no, when he went to answer, he thought of the name you had given him, the one you whispered as you sheltered him from the unknown god’s wrath. it was not his, but it was yours, and wasn’t that what he was asking for?

it took too long for him to answer. red eyes narrowed but eventually chalked it up to exhaustion, giving him directions he couldn’t hear. the captain led him to a room in the back, but he didn’t sleep that night, sitting at the window and searching for the thin sliver of stars.

he didn’t need to eat anymore. he could, certainly, and it tasted fine enough, but he didn’t exactly need to. he’d thought it odd, at first, that barbatos was healed strictly by the wind, but he understood now. he spent his free time sitting under vanessa’s tree, half-asleep as he waited for your return.

you were his source of energy, of will. you knew answers to problems he’d have given up on, and if you didn’t then you tried and tried and tried again until you got it right. you were the power that purified dvalin’s tears, you swept the wind to fix the holy lyre, you cleared the seals around decarabian’s tower. he was a medium, and he was happy with that. your presence waxed and waned, the lapses without you seeming to pass by in a blink.

a few of the knights worried for him, but he knew your vessels understood. none held as much of your power as him, none were as reliant on you, but they understood. they excused his oddities with a kind smile, paimon always at his side to make sure he didn’t waste away the day simply sitting in one spot. prior to coming to teyvat, the concept of elemental sight was something he was only vaguely familiar with. a few planets had some talented witches that could feel the flow of energy through the ground and grass, who could watch the mist in the air and predict the weather. he’d never experienced it himself before. now, the world lit up as his eyes took on a teal sheen, your power mixing with the anemo within him to grant him insight. the world was so vibrant, even the most mundane sights capturing his attention. how could he not stare? if he had it his way he’d always view your creations like this.. but whenever paimon snapped him out of it he’d come out of it with a headache, not to mention his staring tended to be off-putting to those around.

a lot of his new behaviors were. when within your control, he moved stiffly, with repetitive motions forecast well in advance. you chose what he said, when and how he moved, you controlled the very flow of elements through his body. it was harder and harder to think for himself without you there and though paimon handled most of the conversation, there was only so much she could say.

“who are you looking for?” lumine. his sister. himself. the knowledge was there but his throat was closed, unwilling to move without your order.

“thank you for your help.” you’re welcome. don’t worry about it. it was nothing. all he could manage was a stiff nod, eyes flicking to the sky, counting the days until your return. he’d gotten a good grasp of your routine by now.

“who are you?” yours. a traveller. lumine’s. he could not blame those they ran across for their suspicion, even though he wanted to. could they not feel the remains of your presence lingering around him?

they had to go to the rite of decension soon. liyue was holding off, though, waiting for your arrival. they’d never dare to make you miss it, so aether felt no hurry to leave. he laid in the middle of windrise, staring up at the stars. he used to sit atop the knights’ headquarters, but it took too long for the lights of the city to turn out and he liked picking out the various constellations.

his was up there, somewhere. he didn’t have a vision like your other vessels, but he could feel it. it was written right beside your decision to save him and not lumine, alongside your actions in mondstat and everything you’d do in liyue. fate, you’d called it, well-acquainted and intertwined.

aether fell asleep on wet grass among cold wind. he did not get sick, nor was he attacked or otherwise hurt. why would he have been, anyway? your blood was in his veins; he had nothing at all to fear.

Dunno if you've done this before, but characters with tall reader!

This is mostly me being sick and having OC obsession brain rot, but the majority of my OCs are 5'9–6'0+ for reference by what I mean for "tall".

Love your writing, by the way! Keep yourself safe and make sure to treat yourself for all the joy you bring your viewers with your writing<3. Also, this is my first request:D

(Thinking about characters like: Venti, Diluc, Zhongli, Traveller, and whoever else you want to write/if you don't write for some of these characters, that's fine!)

౨ৎ them w a tall partner...

send a request!┊masterlist┊taglist applications

FEAT... aether, venti, itto, alhaitham, diluc

A/N... hiiii anon tysm for the request!! i loveee this idea it's so cute so i'm more than happy to write it ^^ unfortunatelyyy i wasn't able to write anything for zhongli as i js couldn't think of anything, i hope that's ok!!! also thank youuuu! i'm so glad you like my stuff, nd please make sure you take care of yourself too!! hope to see you again soon, enjoy ♡ alsooo i tried out some new colouring!! i hope you guys like ittt i think it's prettyy :3 oh and disclaimer these heights may not be accurate!!! i got them from this website but it seems pretty reliable to meee

✧ aether. - 5'4"

the traveller, the honorary knight, the swordfish II captain, the first sage of buer: just a few of the multitude of titles aether has earned from the many battles he's fought for teyvat. he's always fighting for people, protecting people, blindly jumping head-first into danger; he needs someone to protect him for a change, and that someone is you.

he always feels safe with you, and the way you stand behind him when he's chatting with friends or purchasing items from vendors makes him feel untouchable; evident by the way he practically melts under your touch.

one of the first things people tend to notice about you is your height, and although it doesn't really bother you, aether thinks it's ignorant and unfair. don't get him wrong, he loves your height, but there's so much more to you than that. he wishes people would notice your style, or your personality, maybe even your smile, anything. as long as nobody tries to steal you from him, he doesn't mind.

he'll often find himself being the little spoon while cuddling, and honestly, it's the thing he most looks forward to after a long day of completing commissions and collecting resources.

he loves how tall you are, how gentle you are, how loving you are; he loves all of you, and he hopes you love all of him too...

✧ venti. - 5'5"

venti loves the way you tower over him, and finds your subsequent protectiveness rather endearing.

your height sometimes intimidates people, and discourages them from wanting to strike up conversation with you. venti, however, was never bothered by it, and had no problem shamelessly flirting with you the very second you entered angel's share that fateful day.

the bard struggles to understand how people could possibly be afraid of you. of course, he knows how strong you are, and is aware of the lengths you'd go to in order to protect him, but nothing about your personality was something to be scared of.

the more he got to know you, the quicker he came to the realisation that you're really just a big softie - a gentle giant, if you will.

your impressive stature also means that you can carry him around. venti loves nothing more than being in your arms, face nuzzled into your chest as you take him to bed after a long day, or resting his head on your shoulder and forcing you to lift him up when he 'falls asleep''.

all in all, your boyfriend views your height is anything but negative. he loves you the way you are, and, as cliché as it sounds, wouldn't change anything about you for the world...

✧ itto. - 6'1"

no matter how tall you are, itto will give you piggyback rides. and you will enjoy them. to put it quite frankly, you don't have a choice.

even though you're taller than him, he still loves to have you in his arms, whether that means cuddling, carrying you around, or simply just hugging you from behind. something about having you in his hold makes him feel stronger and more confident than he ever has before.

the members of the arataki gang were shocked when they first met you, genta mistaking you for itto when he caught sight of your silhouette. nonetheless, they have all grown to be quite fond of you, and often leave small gifts on your doorstep which never fail to bring a smile to your face.

your height was something you sometimes felt ashamed of, however, itto always makes sure you feel happy within yourself, and will do everything in his power to wash the insecurities away; showering you in kisses and telling you just how perfect you are...

✧ alhaitham. - 5'10"

at first, alhaitham was slightly embarrassed that you were taller than him, not because of your appearance, but because of how he'd been relentlessly teasing his roommate for his height while having a partner who stands at an impressive 6'5"...

nevertheless, the scribe truly admires everything about you, and will often just stare. even though he wants nothing more than to have you in his arms, he's more than happy to admire you from afar, to watch you go about your day or make idle chit-chat with the local vendors so that he can just take you in; "archons, they're beautiful".

even though he stands shorter than you, he is extremely protective over you; intertwining his fingers with yours whenever he has the chance, and staring down anyone who 'looks at you wrong'. you often tease him for this, poking fun at his pout before kissing it away with a smile, only for it to return as you pinch his rosy cheeks.

the love alhaitham has for you is immeasurable, and the (not so) little things like your height only make him fall harder for you. his heart skips a beat when he feels your arms snake around his waist from behind, being pulled into your chest as you rest your head on his shoulder. yes, you could still do this even if you were shorter, but for him, nothing compares to being able to sink into you; he rather enjoys feeling smaller when he's with you...

✧ diluc. - 6'1"

you and your husband, diluc, stand at a similar height, him just slightly taller than you at 6'1". people often stare when you walk into a room hand-in-hand, but the darknight hero couldn't be more proud.

he never misses the chance to show you off, introducing you to everyone he knows while making sure to subtly flash the wedding ring he oh so gently slides onto your finger every morning. however, as soon as someone dares to make a rude remark about you, your husband has no problem stepping in front of you and handling the situation himself. yes, you're capable of looking out for yourself, but the redhead always feels the need to protect the ones he loves most.

the two of you are a package deal, and are rarely seen apart from each other unless absolutely necessary. diluc can't stand being away from you, and often finds his mind flooded with thoughts of you when he should be focused on the financial papers spread out on the desk before him.

being the taller ragnvindr, diluc often takes it upon himself to hand you items from higher up shelves, knowing full well you can reach them just fine by yourself. "given my stature, wouldn't it be rude not to hand my partner the things they couldn't possibly reach?", he always asks, pressing a loving kiss on your forehead and handing you whatever you were reaching for. such a tease...

thanks for reading ♡ want to read more? my requests are OPEN, so please feel free to let me know what you’d like me to write next!

♫ a night to remember - beabadoobee, laufey

soulmate au, slight royale au, kinda rushed, i got a stroke of inpriration and knew i had to get this out of me today or else it would of rotted in my drafts

the soft hum of conversation surrounds you and your friend, mualani, as you step into the cozy café. the scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries wraps around you like a comforting hug. she has been telling you about this cafe for months now and now that finals are over, you finally have the time.

you order from the cashier — an iced matcha latte with cold foam and extra sweetner, you can't stand bitter things, and a croissant -- and settle into a small table by the window. as you wait for mualani to order hers, your vision gazes around the cozy atmosphere.

the menu written in chalk and accompanied by small seasonal drawings, the wooden chairs you were seated on and the soft jazz playing lowly on the speakers. the windchimes hung on the door outside that swayed and played a soft melody. you close your eyes to fully soak in the ambiance. opening your eyes when you felt the table shift under you, expecting it to be mualani.

and then, you notice him.

long hair tied up in a neat braid flows down his back, shaggy yet kept tufts of hair at the crown of his head. you can't make out the details of his outfit but he seems to be wearing a black band tee with loose fitting jeans. he looks down to his coffee that was just handed to him and he turns around.

you feel... awestruck. immediatly, your head rung with a plethora of questions: "who is that?" "what's he doing here?" and most confusingly, "why does he seem so.. familiar?"

said "familiar stranger" now stands in front of you, gesturing to the chair beside you.

"is this seat taken?" he asks. the round table had 4 chairs surrounding its circumference -- originally planned for you, mualani, and your bags -- so you nod and take your bag up. he places down his coffee and sits on the plush chair.

its a little awkward with a complete stranger sitting next to you, so you look to your phone, swiping between home screens to at least seem busy.

your bag falls from your lap as you shift in your seat. the both of you look down at the soft thud and reach down to pick it up, your hands slightly grazing each other. the both of your eyes meet, then the world starts to blur.

suddenly you've been taken into a grand ballroom, the moonlight illuminating the candle lit. ornate shades of gold and silver start to surround you as your enveloped fully. other couples sway and waltz around you to the live orchestra playing to the corner of the room.

you gaze down in front of you to the same person you had just locked eyes with prior, the stranger dons a suit of ivory and gold, a blazer perfectly draped over his shoulders, and an ebony tie to match with his shoes. his rich, golden hair styled out of his face.

he leans down to press a sincere kiss onto your gloved hand, never once breaking eye contact,

"what's a fine lady as yourself doing at this place?" he queries, his gentle hold on your hand never ceasing.

you hum "clearly you know not who you are talking to. this is the ball father has arranged for my hand."

his gave widens then softens within seconds, a small smile develops on his lips. his hand entangles with your own and he brings his other arm around your waist, bringing you closer to him.

"the, may i have the honour of dancing with you this evening?"

"certainly," you mumble under your breath. too lost in his enchanting titian eyes to notice your shift in location.

"great! so i'll see you tonight at 6?" he squeezes your palm, both his hands encompassing yours as he waits for a response.

you agree half-mindedly as he flashes you one last smile and exits the cafe, the windchimes ringing as he opens the door. you watch him as he walks further and further from you, feeling as if something is missing.

you look down to your palm, still warm (and a little clammy) from the previous interaction. you didn't have the time to process what the hell just happened before mualani hops to your side, yapping about gods knows what.

"helloooo?~ earth to besiteee?~" she says with a sing-song tone, that finally snaps you out of the clouded gaze at your hand.

"oh you're whipped, huh?" mualani teases as she lightly jabs your side, her eyebrows wiggling at the interaction you had with the handsome stranger.

"no way, 'lani. i literally just met the guy." you respond, walking back to the cafe counter to pick up your food.

your mind wonders again when your by yourself. that interaction you had with this stranger was so enchanting, like you could of sworn you've seen him before.

maybe in another lifetime, maybe.

𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐁𝐎𝐑𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐒

summary: you can't help but admire your boyfriend's freckles under the setting sun

pairing: modern au! aether x gn! reader

warnings: fluff (i'm so soft for him), mentions of insecurities (aether)

modern au masterlist || genshin masterlist

There were a lot of things people could hold against summer; the heat, sunburns, mosquitoes.

But not you. You could never see anything but stellar beauty in summer.

Not when it was the reason why you could lie under a canopy of vines and fairy lights on your balcony, why you could drink in the last rays of light over the horizon in the warm evening air or why you could listen to the birds sing their last song of the evening as the crickets took over from them.

And yet you were even more grateful for being able to card your fingers through your lover’s hair of lightened gold and faded streaks of pink and green. Resembling silk of the highest quality, it draped over his shoulder with the motion of your hand, lifting like a curtain to reveal the sun-kissed skin underneath.

How could you ever scorn summer when it was the reason Aether’s skin was covered in galaxies of sunborn stars?

Slowly, reverently, your fingers traced along the constellations on the top of his shoulders, connecting the stars your lips mapped out as you brushed against the tiny marks you had become as familiar with as with the back of your hand.

“You know,” the blond spoke up, voice demure as if he didn’t want to disturb the tranquil atmosphere, though those few syllables spoke much louder to the seriousness of the topic he was about to breach. “I used to not like my freckles. I tried hiding them with makeup, wore sleeves long enough to cover them and all. Summer was the worst time for me.”

“What changed?” You asked, brushing your thumb over the freckle clusters on his cheeks as you watched the sun reflect and rise anew in those striking eyes of his. Certainly, a change in attitude such as this, one where he started embracing what he previously disliked, couldn’t have come easy and you didn’t want to diminish his feelings because of your own adoration.

“I met someone,” he whispered, like it was a confession, as his hands took inspiration from your wandering ones. With his fingers splayed over the small of your back, a comfortable warmth spread over the length of your spine as he anchored you in place as if he never wanted to part from you. “Someone who faced those doubts and silenced them with genuine affirmations. Someone who I could show my flaws to without fear of leaving myself vulnerable. Someone who showed me there was a different way to think and made me learn something new about myself.”

“I never thought of them as flaws,” you muttered, hoping to convey all your gratitude in the kiss which followed your thumb’s path. “I’ve always thought they were beautiful.”

“I know,” Aether replied meekly, his usually radiant smile a little wobbly under the onslaught of emotions he was experiencing all at once. “And I’ve always wanted to believe you.”

“I’ll repeat it until you can,” you promised, brushing a strand behind his ear, even if only to give you a chance to trace more of his honeydew skin and reveal more of the freckles framing his eyes. “Because you deserve to see yourself the way I see you. Nobody should be deprived of a sight this gorgeous.”

“I still don’t think it could hold a candle to what I’m seeing.” His featherlight touch mirrored yours in the position and softness with which he cradled your cheek. The notion of holding the world in one’s hands had never occurred to you as plausible, until you met Aether’s gaze of devotion and veneration.

If you were the world, however, then you must have been holding something otherworldly. With his warm skin hued in an ethereal, aureate glow, it was as if he himself was a star, which had come to you from the vast ocean beyond the sky. Much like wishing upon a shooting star, your dreams had come true as you gazed at him, held him, called him yours and yourself his.

Then, almost as if heaven and earth had willed time to slow, nothing but the two of you existed when you met each other halfway. The kiss was simultaneously too much and not enough and you burrowed your hand in his golden roots, cushioning the back of his head as he let himself fall back, pulling you down with him.

True to its purpose, the hand on your back kept you steady against him, even as you both caught your breath. Even from the close proximity, you could only stare in awe as your theory of his heavenly origins was proven right by the radiance of his star speckled skin and the brilliant halo framing his face.

So how could you scorn summer when it revealed your lover’s true beauty?

if you like my content, reblogs, comments and asks are always much appreciated (also, yes, there will be second parts for the characters) ♡

Lipstick # 3 💄

Imagine your genshin S/O making you try on lipsticks of different colors and shades and then making you kiss them on their face to see if it suits them too.

Aether (For @proper-fox):

Sorry it took so long. I was in physical pain while trying to write this. I hate period cramps (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Aether has many many friends (and enemies), and most are indebted to him (Yes, even some of his enemies). So it's not unusual for his mailbox to be filled with gifts of many kinds. In fact, he had to have a separate mail box for close friends just so he wouldn't lose those.

And as thankful as he is for the gifts, he doesn't exactly use nor need most of it. But of course, he couldn't just tell them off. (Well, he can, but he still wants free stuff now and again.)

As he's pacing around your shared bedroom in his abode, he notices your lipstick collection... or rather, the lack of it. A lone lipstick stood proudly on your vanity table, with a color that's just a bit too... common for him to see on you.

After some thinking, he came up with a solution to his mailbox problem. Why not tell people that he'll only be accepting lipsticks?

-------------------------------------------------

"Aether, why the hell do you have so many lipstick?" You asked, once you saw him carrying a box full of lipstick with a rainbow of selection, picking up one that's a really neon green.

"It's for a... project." Aether says, smiling innocently at you. He then brought in another box, one that's empty this time. There's a shine in his eyes that you couldn't understand.

"Can you do something for me?"

-------------------------------------------------

You then found yourself sitting on the bed, a box full of lipstick on your side, while the empty one on the other.

In front of you is Aether, sleeping soundly. After a tiring day of doing commissions, he grabbed you towards the bed with the energy he had left, and told you what to do before passing out.

"Give me lots of kisses. I want you to try each and every one of these."

You couldn't help but quirk your lips at his words from earlier, before picking a random lipstick from the pile.

Upon applying it, you then leave soft kiss on his soft cheek.

When you pulled away, you couldn't help but feel delighted at how the lipstick color suit him. Maybe he does have a point in making you do this.

-------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Aether woke up with a yawn, stretching his arms. He drowsily got up from the bed, making sure not to disturb your sleep, before heading to the bathroom.

The moment he faced the bathroom mirror, he feel his whole being wake up, fully energized, a huge grin quickly growing on his face.

Aether's body is littered with kiss marks with colors and shades that suited him. From his face, to his arms, and even to his stomach. There are even some stray ones on his thighs.

Leaning back out of the bathroom door, he spots the two boxes on the feet of your shared bed, one labelled 'keep', and the other, 'give away', both seemed half filled.

Focusing back on his reflection in the mirror, he's quite happy but... he's not satisfied.

With a huff, he quickly runs out of the bathroom, and headed towards you still sleeping on the bed. He jumped on the bed, straddling your hips, before shaking you awake.

He glared at you with determined eyes, watching as you drowsily opened yours that are filled with sleepy confusion.

"You have to try again. Let me feel the kisses this time!"

Next up is our dear Kazuha!

Also, I probably almost died with my dog earlier ಥ‿ಥ

𑁍༄Aether:

You wrapped your arms around Aether from behind, resting your forehead against his back as he hummed in delight. He felt so warm, like a ray of sunshine that could just brighten even the darkest of days, "Love you Aether."

It's like you could feel your heart swell at his soft chuckle, or the way his voice got so gentle whenever you were around him, "I love you too my dear."

𑁍༄Venti:

Venti smiled happily as you hugged him from behind, his voice cheerful as he held your hands in place, "Someone's feeling cuddly today, does my dearest love need more then just hugs? Kisses are always welcome too!"

You felt your cheeks blush, your hold on him tightening. He always knew how to make your heart skip a beat, how to make you get butterflies in your stomach, "I'll always accept your kisses...but can we stay like this for a little first.."

"But of course! We can stay like this as long as you like"

The day comes when you find one of Aether's more hidden scars, his bare and muscled back shown to you in all of its glory. Your eyes travel across the different wounds on his back and find a particularly nasty mark. It's healed over well, but it's raised and pink unlike all his other ones. You point it out to him and he freezes up. Do you think he's ugly now? Scars weren't pretty, no no, they were quite the opposite weren't they? Were you going to detest this part of him when you promised to love him whole?

(He wouldn't blame you. He wouldn't love him either.)

Instead, you gently trace the scar and place soft kiss on top of it, like an angels touch, just grazing his skin. He barely even felt it but he knew it was wreak, oh god he knew. Your every touch lingered, The bump of your shoulders or a teasing finger around his waist. everything you did to him made his skin light on fire, electrocuted his heart and brought him to death and back. He discovers the words in his throat with a wobble to his voice, thick and whispery, embarrassment dripping off of the tight seams of his lips. "What are you– why are you doing that?"

You do nothing but hum. A beat passes, two kisses go by, then; "Nobody's ever kissed your scars better, have they?" Aether doesn't reply. He doesn't need to. "That's what I'm doing right now."

Aether spends the rest of his night silent, listening to your addictive voice spill praises of him that he doesn't think are quite true, but that's alright. Even if they're lies, everything sounds nicer when you say it.

Aether spends the rest of his night choking on air, with his eyes glossed with tears. He shouldn't be crying. Teyvat's hero does not cry. It's not like him to cry. But he feels so at home with you, You remind him of a family he's never had.

Aether spends the rest of his night in your arms. He breathes your skin and exhales his doubts. He still feels your lips on his back. He never wants to forget the feeling.

Aether spends the night squeezing your waist for he doesn't know if a tomorrow with you will come. And truth be told, for the world's strongest hero, he is scared. Not of the harbingers, not of the regions he's been, but of you. He's scared of having his last kiss.

Aether spends the night thinking about you. He looks up at your sleeping figure and hums before placing a featherlight kiss on the corner of your mouth.

Aether spends the night knowing your name will forever be the name on his lips.

I’m With You Always: GN Reader x Aether x Dew x Swiss (Poly Relationship)

A/N: I have been wanting to work on a fic where a ghoul, or in this case, three ghouls, take care of the reader while the reader is suffering through a depressive episode and finally breaks down. This was originally just going to be Aether x reader but I got carried away so the reader is in a poly relationship with Aether, Dew, and Swiss. If polyamorous relationships are not your thing, just skip this. If they are your thing, enjoy this heartwarming fic of three ghouls taking care of their mate.

Warnings: A WHOLE LOT OF ANGST mentions of self-hatred (reader has semi-suicidal thoughts), mention of nausea, tooth rotting fluff,

You sat in the library by yourself, letting your brain rot with bad thoughts. I don’t deserve anything. I am nothing. Maybe the world would be better if I was dead. The thoughts were all consuming. You had been feeling this way for quite some time now. Even members of the abbey could tell as they would always ask if you were feeling okay because you did not seem like your normal self. You closed your eyes, hoping to hold back your tears, but alas, you failed. You curled up in the window bench as you watched the rain splash into the already forming puddle on the sidewalk. The more you watched the rain, the more it seemed as if your tears matched its pace.

As you sat there, paying no mind to anything other than the thoughts in your head, you heard a ruckus coming from across the library. You turned your head to see who it was and quickly snapped your head back around hoping that Aether, Swiss, and Dew didn’t notice you curled up in the window. You focused your attention back on the growing puddle. It was hypnotizing. It gave you time to create worse thoughts. What if I jumped out of the window? Would I die, or would I just suffer more because I would only be severely injured? The thoughts were growing with more and more morbid details. You closed your eyes to try to quiet your mind.

As your mind continued to race, you felt as if you couldn’t breathe. You realized it was getting harder and harder to fill your aching lungs. Fuck. They’re going to sense my distress. You were absolutely correct. You felt a stronger hand on your shoulder. You knew it was Aether. You knew his familiar touch, yet you couldn’t bring yourself to look at such a caring ghoul.

”Y/N? You alright, love?” Aether's voice was as smooth as the calm ocean.

All you could do was shake your head as a torrent of tears ran down your blood red cheeks. You tried to take a deep breath to sooth yourself, but a sob was let out instead.

”Oh, my little love. It’s okay, shhhh, you’re okay. I’ve got you,” Aether softly spoke, as he picked you up from your window.

You lost it, you sobbed into the warmth of his chest as he carried you out of the library, motioning for Swiss and Dew to follow him. You couldn’t stop the tears even if you wanted to. Aether gently carried you back to his room in the ghoul den and placed you softly into his nest. As you felt all of Aether’s engulf your aching body, you curled in on yourself, hugging your knees, and essentially curling up into a ball. You felt the bed sink next to you as Aether sat down and gently placed a hand on your back.

“Dew, can you go fix up some soup and grab some ginger ale?” Aether asked, knowing that you would make yourself nauseous by working yourself up.

”Sure thing, any type of soup?” Dew asked as he made his way out of Aether’s room.

”Anything we have, they’re not picky,” Aether said with a light chuckle.

”Swiss, can you go to their room, grab their stuffie, a fresh pair of clothes, and the book they’ve been reading that is on their bedside table?” Aether asked the multi.

Swiss didn’t reply. He simply nodded and made a beeline for your room. Aether stood up from the bed and threw on a pair of sweatpants and abandoned his shirt. He knew that you enjoyed feeling his bare chest. At this point, he was willing to do anything to get you calm enough so you did not make yourself sick. He crawled back into bed with you, sat against his head board, and pulled you to his chest. Your head met his chest and you knew you would be okay, however, you could not bring yourself to stop crying.

”Don’t worry, my love. I’ve got you now. I’ve got you forever. No need to worry. I am here, as long as you need or want me to be,” Aether cooed into your ear.

You laid on the quintessence ghoul, listening to his heart beat, trying to steady your mind. You weren’t even sure what you were thinking anymore. You were just feeling emotions that you had been keeping to yourself. Aether continued to rub gentle circles on your back and gently shush you as you tried to gather your emotions. You were happy knowing that he still cared about you, even at your lowest like this. His very essence was enough to calm you to the point that your eyes stopped producing tears. Once you thought you were calm enough, you looked up at Aether who was looking back at you.

”Hey, lovebug. You’re okay,” he said before placing a gentle kiss on your forehead.

”Aeth, I- I’m sorry,” you mumbled out.

“What are you sorry for?” He questioned, confusion flushing over his face.

“For being like this. For being an emotional mess all the time. I wish I wasn’t like this. I hate it. I hate myself for it,” you began to babble.

“Hey, stop that. You’re allowed to feel feelings, but you are not allowed to hate yourself. I won’t allow it. You are an amazing human being. You are the kindest soul I have met. You are worthy, Y/N. Do not let anyone tell you differently, even yourself,” he said, reassuringly.

The tears started again as you thought he was mad at you for saying you hated yourself. He pulled you closer to him, and started to gently rock you back and forth, trying to get you to calm down again.

”Shhhhh, Y/N. I am not mad at you, my little love. I am simply trying to reassure you of what a great person you are. I could never be mad at you, ever,” he said as he resumed rubbing your back.

As he continued holding you, Dew walked back in with your soup and ginger ale. You needed it, you hadn’t eaten in two days. You needed to eat but could not bring yourself to do so.

”Hey, little firefly. I have soup and fizzy ginger juice,” Dew said with a chuckle to himself.

You couldn’t help but let out a chuckle at the fire ghoul’s dry sense of humor, even if tears were still pouring out of your eyes. Dew sat down in the nest next to Aether and held your soup, waiting for you to sit up and take a bite.

”Wanna try and eat? You can sit up, we aren’t going anywhere,” Aether reassured, noticing your tight grip on his upper body.

Once you realized that you were surrounded by the ones you loved, minus Swiss for the time being, you started to relax. You mustered up the strength to pry yourself off of the warm quint ghoul, and took the bowl of warm soup from Dew.

“It might be a little cooler now, want me to warm it up for you?” Dew asked, holding out his hands.

”No, thank you, it’s a good temperature,” you said as you finished your first bite.

The soup felt good going down. It was warm enough to warm you up, but not scorching hot. You did a little shimmy as you continued eating your soup. You looked up at the two ghouls who were staring back at you, smiles spread across your face. As you continued eating your soup, Swiss bolted back into Aether’s room with your stuffie and a pair of clothes for you.

”I’m back, sorry it took so long, Rain was being needy, as always,” Swiss said as he handed Aether your stuffie and put your clothes on the couch next to Aether’s bathroom.

He crawled into the bed on the other side of Aether and snuggled into the quintessence ghoul’s side. Swiss had joined the relationship that you, Aether, and Dew had formed. You loved all three of them equally, as they loved you and each other equally. They each helped you through depression in different ways. Aether was always the one to hold you while you cried, well they all did that, but Aether was different. He was more soothing. He didn’t force you to talk about anything if you did not want to. Swiss was also soothing but tried to get you to talk, which most of the times you would, but he never understood why you wouldn’t the other times. He always talked about his feelings so he just thought everyone did. Dew, sweet Dewdrop. He tried to be helpful when it was just you and him, and you were in an episode, but the poor ghoul has a hard time expressing his emotions, let alone helping others with theirs. He would hold you and text Aether to come help. You loved him nonetheless.

“Wanna talk about it?” Swiss chimed in.

“Swiss, not everybody talks about their feelings,” Aether said, sternly.

”I know, but sometimes they talk about them,” Swiss replied.

”Maybe in a little, just wanna finish my soup and lay down,” you said, as you smiled to your multi ghoul.

As you took the last bite of your soup, and sipped the remaining broth, you handed your bowl back to Dew for him to place on the table next to Aether’s bed. You resumed your position laying between Aether’s legs with your head on his broad chest. He wrapped his arms around you as Dew snuggled into Aether’s side, wrapping his arm around you, and Swiss doing the same on the other side.

”A shower would really help you,” Dew chimed in.

“In a minute, just wanna lay here right now,” you replied, giving a soft smile to the kind fire ghoul.

The four of you laid in bed for a few minutes before you decided that you did in fact need a shower, but when you went to move, you realized that Aether and Swiss had fallen asleep. Dew was still awake, staring at you with admiration.

“Dew?” You whispered.

”What’s up, babe?” He replied.

”Wanna take a shower,” you mumbled.

The fire ghoul slowly pried himself off of the sleeping quintessence ghoul and stood up out of bed, releasing a big stretch while holding out his hand to you. You got out of bed next, and took his hand. The two of you walked to Aether’s bathroom and quietly closed the door. Dew started the shower, making sure the temperature was to your liking.

“Do you want me to cover my eyes, y’know, so you can undress?” The fire ghoul asked shyly.

”Dew, you do realize that you’ve seen me naked too many times to count, right. I don’t care if you look,” you joked with him.

”I know, but I feel like now is the wrong time to be turned on,” he chuckled, his tail tucked between his legs.

You rolled your eyes and smiled as you started to undress. You finally stepped into the shower and the hot water felt amazing against your aching body. You stood in the downpour for a minute before you realized you didn’t want to be alone.

”Dew? Can you join me? Don’t wanna be alone,” you said, shyly.

Before you knew it, a naked Dew was joining you in the shower. He knew exactly what to do as he embraced you, gently tipping your head back into the water to get your hair nice and wet. He then stuck his own head into the water, getting his stunning blonde hair wet. You always enjoyed showering with Dew. Even though the water was hot, he added to it. He grabbed your shampoo and squeezed a good amount into his hand before rubbing his hands together and gently massaging it into your hair. The warmth of his palms along with the massaging sensation relaxed you even more. While he was at it, he also added shampoo to his hair. While he let his shampoo sit, he embraced you once again and tipped your head under the water to rinse it out. One of his hands embraced the small of your back while the other worked on getting the shampoo out of your hair. Once your hair was shampoo free, he grabbed the conditioner and lathered your ends to make sure they were good and hydrated. He let that sit while he rinsed the shampoo out of his own hair. He didn’t bother to condition his hair as he only did it once a week. While the conditioner was still sitting in your hair, he took the time to wash your body. He picked up the clean washcloth that was on the towel rack and put a little bit of Aether’s body wash on it, knowing you liked to use his. He then gently ran the cloth all over your body, leaving sensual kisses along your body in the process. He then wiped himself down with the cloth. It was time to completely rinse. He held you close to him, under the downfall of water and worked his hands through the ends of your hair, making sure to get all of the conditioner out, while the water washed the soap off of the two of you.

Now that the shower was done, he helped you dry off and put on your fresh clothes. He went to reach for a clean shirt of his when he noticed you were staring at it.

”Would you like this shirt instead of the one you are wearing?” He smirked at you.

All you did was nod. He picked up the shirt and walked over to you. He gently lifted your hands up and pulled the shirt you were wearing off before pulling it onto himself. He then pulled his shirt onto you and gave you a deep kiss.

”I love you, Y/N. Never forget it. We all love you,” he whispered in your ear before opening the bathroom door.

Swiss and Aether were awake now, just chilling on the bed with each other. Dew took your hand and guided you back to bed. You crawled back in between Aether’s legs and placed your back against his chest.

“Mmmm, you smell delightful, love,” he purred in your ear.

”Do you want to read your book? I brought it for you,” Swiss said as he reached behind him and grabbed the paperback.

You graciously took it from him and opened it to where you left off.

”Thank you, all of you. I love you all so much and I’m sorry that I can be a lot sometimes,” you said, taking a moment before starting your reading.

”We wouldn’t have you any other way, Y/N,” Swiss says as he gives you a quick kiss.

”We don’t want you any other way,” Aether seconds, kissing the back of your neck.

”You’re perfect just the way you are, my fire love,” Dew said as he took your hand.

The three ghouls snuggled into each other after throwing on Inside Out, one of Dew’s favorites. You leaned your back into Aether as you continued your reading. Before you knew it, you were being woken up by Swiss taking your book from you, making sure to place your bookmark into the pages.

“Get some sleep, love. You deserve it. We will all be here when you wake up. Those two are out cold. If you need anything, let me know,” Swiss said before giving your forehead a kiss. He was always up throughout the night. Consider it a nightwatch.

new year's day

synopsis: hold on to the memories, and they will hold on to you.

genre: fluff, maybe slight angst at the end

characters: aether x gn! reader, adventurer! reader

warnings: reader referred to in 2nd person, awkward/accidental confession, kissing

a/n: happy new year!! may the new year bring us all much joy<3 likes, reblogs and comments highly appreciated!!

masterlist

a blink of an eye, and yet another year of traversing the vast world of teyvat had come and gone. wasn’t it just yesterday that you met the blond traveler from some foreign land and his flying non-wish-granting fairy? almost seems like yesterday that he invited you to join him on his voyage– something about ‘similar goals’ and the shared desire to be paid more for your contributions to the adventurer’s guild made the partnership all the more desirable. (him being exactly your type was a sweet bonus.)

now, after yet another year filled with unexpected twists, action-packed fights, and exhausting tasks, with aether still nowhere close to finding anything more about his sister’s whereabouts, it was time to sit down, unwind, and reflect on the past year.

you sat on a hilltop, with the unmistakable silhouette of the opera on the opposite shore, looking up at the stars shining through the depths of the night sky, laughing about the events that happened in the past year and him explaining famous traditions from his homeland that were similar to those of teyvat’s.

“hey, wait, what’s the deal with a new year’s kiss?” you suddenly had a thought.

aether froze, then leaned in, an uncharacteristically sly grin on his face. “why, thinking ‘bout getting yourself a new year’s kiss?”

“uh, well, maybe?”

his grin dropped. “...i see.” he turned to look up at the glittering canopy above, a soft sigh leaving his lips. “it’s believed that a couple that exchanges a kiss at the stroke of midnight will last long.”

“aaaaaand if the pair isn’t a couple yet?”

“jeez, get a confession out first, will you?”

“but would you even accept it?” you blurt.

“what?”

silence.

then, hesitantly, gaze never daring to leave your face, he asks, “...you… you wanna say that again?” “no.”

“oh.”

your eyes timidly meet his unwavering stare. you’re scared. you’re scared you’ll make a mistake, and you’re scared he’ll turn away. you don’t want him to become a stranger whose laugh you’d recognise anywhere— not with all the memories you’ve made together.

but then he smiles a warm smile, all the brightness of the stars dimming in comparison to the shine in his eyes.

“y’know… i’ve got a hundred thrown out speeches i almost said to you,” he reaches for your hand, squeezes it three times. “i wouldn’t have known you’d beat me to a confession this way–” he cuts himself off with a laugh.

silence again, punctuated only by the sound of fireworks as they shot into the night sky to mark the arrival of a new year.

he let out a soft sigh. “i… you know i’m terrible with words, so… will you let me show you?”

thus, under the twinkling gaze of the stars and the flying sparks of the fireworks, aether pressed his lips to yours– sealing a silent promise that you both knew in your hearts could be broken sooner or later.

Spider genshin charxter ft

Aether kazuha

After a one night stand with your crush aka the world best superheroes you fall pregnant.

One day you watch live tv as the greatest hero gets defeated and injured.

What happens when they show up on your balcony bleeding and brusied asking you for help.

Everyone aged up reader knew the boys before they became spider man. Your a nurse in aether

Dancer in kazuha (professional background dancer)

Minors DNI! IM 18 PLUS SFW BUT DONT LIKE MINOR REAdING MY STUFF.

----

Aether

Aether woke up that morning looking over at your back. You were still sleeping gently breathing. He ran his hand over your back and arms before slipping out the bed quielty. Getting dressed he looked at you one last time before leaping off the balcony.

---

You looked at the three tests on the bathroom counter.

Ever since that one night stand you weren't feeling to well. Before heading to a doctor you decided to do a pregnancy test just to cover you bases.

Three plus signs.

You started counting and recalled that night.

'Oh...he's the father' you whispered.

You had fallen in love with aether back in high school never telling him about your feeling though as he was constantly surrounded by people. He was the popular guy while you were in the background almost disappearing.

You stared at the tests for another minute before tossing them and wiping down the counter. Leaving the bathroom you slipped back into bed pulling the blanket over you. Closing your eyes you cried.

---

'But spider man never looses' the TV said as you walked around the room.

You lived in a rather nice studio on the second floor. It was spacious. It must have been an art studio before it was made into an apartment because you found a lot of paint supplies all returned to the owner.

You looked at the TV. Aether was bleeding heavily.

You placed a hand on your belly looking down. You were passing the three month mark.

'Its ok. He'll pull through.' You said with a small smile.

How could you tell him? He didn't leave anything to contact him. You didn't have mutual friends, nothing.

But you decided to carry this child full term and then raise them.

Looking at the screen you watched as aether disappeared the villain dottore laughing maniacally. Turning it to a different channel you went about cleaning making food and reading.

Then he showed up.

You were asleep when you heard the sound of someone knocking. You sat up rubbing your eyes, getting off the bed.

Looking through the peep hole you didn't see anyone. You heard the sound again. This time you turned around and saw him. He was on the balcony knocking on the glass door.

It was raining heavily. Lighting splitting the sky showing his features. His lip was swollen, a black eye, a cut on his cheek.

The more you looked at him the more his injuries made you worry.

You rushed over opening the glass door.

'Are you ok?' You asked him.

'Nothing I can't handle' He wheezed.

His breathing was labored.

'Come in' you said opening the door a bit more.

He nodded grabbing his bag. You helped him walk in.

'Lets get you taken care of' you said taking him to the bathroom. 'I'll see what I can do'

He nodded discarding the mask to the floor. Reaching the bathroom you sat him on the floor up against the tub. You pulled out a first aid kit, gauze medical tape and other medical supplies. Sitting next to him you began to clean the cut on his cheek.

Thunder rumbled during the silence. Aether looking at you as you worked. You had him in his boxers his suit on the floor. Bloody guaze littered the floor, a bottle of rubbing alcohol half empty a second one next to it full.

Aether winced as you tended to the giant cut across his chest. You mumbled an apology remaining silent after. He watched you.

You were beautiful. The same as that one night.

'Can you lean forward?' You asked him with drawing him from his thoughts.

He did as asked.

'Hold the guaze in place please' you said pulling out a wrap.

He did as you said. Soon you began to wrap his chest. Next you did his arms then head. You pulled his hair out of its braid. A few more minutes went by before you finished up.

'OK'you stood up 'lets put you to bed.'

He nodded and stood up with your help. You both walked over to the bed.

Together you got him in the bed laying down. You pulled the blanket over him.

'Your injuries will take a while to heal, probably a month. Do you have somewhere to stay?' You asked.

He shook his head no. His apartment was damaged due to dottore. He only managed to grab some clothes and his bag before he made his way to you.

'I was hoping I could crash here for a bit' He said looking at you. 'I know I don't deserve it after I up and left that day but my home was destroyed, and my sister or friends don't know about my identity. Only you'

You nodded.

'Yea that's fine. Sleep well'you said smiling softly.

He watched you as you walked over to the couch.

'Can...can you sleep next to me please?' He asked. 'I know I don't deserve it but please?'

You looked at him.

'Are you sure?' You asked quielty.

He nodded holding his hand out. You thought about it before approaching him slowly. He took your hand shifting over to the other side of the bed before pulling you next to him. You laid next to him with him pulling the blanket over your body. You both stared at the ceiling until sleep came over your bodies.

---

Two months had passed aether having fully recovered was cleaning the kitchen while you were at work.

You ended up letting him move in providing he help around the house occasionally. He agreed.

'She's pregnant' He whispered.

He had noticed the bump. Having done the math it matched the timeline.

'I wonder if she'd be willing to let me help raise the baby.' He said putting the broom away.

You entered the apartment with a heavy sigh. You looked really tired.

You dropped the keys in the small bowl next to the door that was on the desk. Dropping your bag on the floor next to the desk you walked over to the bathroom and closed the door. He stared at the door. Hearing the shower turn on he walked over to the bathroom knocking.

'Yes?' Your voice sounds wobbly like you were getting ready to cry.

'Can i...come in?' He asked hesitantly.

You looked at the door towel around your body wiping your eyes quickly. Giving it some thought you said yes.

He opened the door peaking in. You looked at him.

'Can we talk about something?'He asked.

You nodded walking over to the tub. Sitting down on the edge he followed suit and sat next to you. 'So...'

He trailed off staring at you. You stared back.

His eyes reminded you of the golden dawn. His hair reminded you of the sun.

You reminded him of a silent waterfall. Beautiful, peaceful and serene.

He placed his hands on your cheeks before pulling you towards him. Your lips crashed.

*he's kissing me* was all you thought before closing your eyes to enjoy it. He deepened the kiss moving you swiftly but gently into his lap. You accepted it.

After a bit he pulled away the both of you breathless.

'Aether....why did you....come over that night?' You asked rubbing your belly.

'I don't know...' He said looking at your belly. 'I've been drawn to you since high school.'

Your eyes widen.

He noticed you?

'That night when you offered to help me in that way... I felt the flame light again.' He whispered while you nodded. 'So does that mean...I am the father?'

'Yes.' You said looking away.

He turned your head to face him. You saw the most heart warming smile.

'Thanks' was all he said before kissing you again.

----

Aether stared at you as you stood next to the bed, wallet in hand.

'Please?' You asked him.

Aether nodded.

You were craving spam with cheese. The catch? You need the cheese in the center of the spam which had to be wrapped in bacon then fried. You discovered the aether was a excellent cook.

'Yea princess' He smiled. 'I'll make it.'

You cried. You had been avoiding this craving for awhile now. You handed over your wallet to him before sitting down on the bed. Your belly was getting big.

'I'll be back' Aether said kissing your cheek.

'Th-thank you' You said sobbing.

He smiled before arranging you in the bed. Making sure the pillows were ok he pulled the blankets over you.

'I'll be back. I'll wake you when food is ready.' He kissed you before leaving the studio. 'Love you princess.'

'Love you too' you said closing your eyes.

----

'Aether!' He looked up. Spotting his sister he waved. 'Where have you been? You fell off the map.'

'I've been living with my girlfriend.' He replied putting the item in his hand back on the shelf.

'You? Girlfriend? I'll belive it when I see it' lumine giggled.

Aether sighed pulling out his phone. His lock screen was a picture of you and him holding a ultra sound. He showed lumine his phone.

'Wha?!' She stared.

'Believe me?' He asked putting his phone away. She nodded.

'Now if you don't mind. My girlfriend is hungry and she been waiting for me.' He walked away leaving lumine standing there.

Walking over to the register, he paid for his stuff and left.

He heard a familiar laugh before looking up. Dottore was back but there was a new hero in town.

Aether just walked away. He gave up that life the minute he showed up at you balcony injured. The moment he confirmed the baby was indeed his. He had tossed the suit. Not before you had taken the mask. He let you keep it. Why you wanted it was beyond him. But you kept it in your bag.

He arrived at the apartment. Opening the door you were still awake watching TV. You looked up as he entered. Getting off the bed you waddled over to him.

'Hi princess' He smiled putting the bag on the counter. He opened his arms.

You walked into him wrapping your arms around him.

'Why's my pretty girl up?' He asked rubbing your back.

'Your daughter keep kicking me' you said in his chest.

'Aw' He said running his hand down your belly. 'Hey you let your mom rest.'

You giggled.

'Why don't you sit down' He said guiding you to the chair. 'I'll get food started'

You nodded sitting in the chair. You watched as he began to cook.

----

You sighed waddling over to the bathroom. You were about a week away from the due date. Aether was at work tying up a few loose ends. He promised you that he would take you out tonight.

'Im so hot' you groaned turning on the shower. Checking to make sure the water was cold you stepped in.

Aether had arrived while you were still in the shower. He could hear you breathing heavily.

'Hey y/n?' He asked opening the bathroom door. 'You ok?'

'No' you said. 'I'm hot'

'Want help?' He asked closing the bathroom door.

'Please?' You pleaded quietly.

'I'm coming angel. Give me a second' He said stripping.

Soon you felt him wrap his arms around.

'Come on' he kissed your cheek 'lets get you cooled off'

You nodded.

After the cold shower you finally felt some relief.

'I just want her out'you whined as aether sat you down on the bed.

'I know I know' Aether sat next to you. 'Just one more-'

You suddenly jumped on him.

'Get this child out of me' you whined.

'I know dear' He noticed the pained look on your face. 'She'll come soon ok?'

You nodded crying. He wrapped his arms around you holding you as you laid in bed. You whimpered most of the night due to body heat you were sharing with aether and the baby.

----

'But...but' you looked defeated after the doctor. 'I wanted a natural birth'

'I know Ma'am but you need this. ' the doctor looked at you.

Aether was next to you.

'Can I have sometime with her?' He asked.

'Sure' the doctor left the room.

'I know you want to do it naturally but it'll be dangerous if you do' Aether sat on the bed. 'Its the safest option'

'But my mom says I won't be a real mom if I have a c section' you sniffed quietly.

'Don't listen to her. You'll still be a real mother. You carried our little girl to full term.' He placed his forehead against yours. 'Please? I don't want anything bad to happen.'

You looked into his eyes. They were full of worry.

'Promise?' You asked.

He nodded sealing the promise with a kiss.

'OK. I'll do the c section.' You said.

Aether kissed you once more.

'OK I'll get the doctor.' He pulled away.

----

'Sir' Aether looked up as the doctor entered the room. 'Your girlfriend is ready to see you.'

He nodded standing up. Following the doctor he wondered if you were feeling OK. Entering the room he saw you trying to fight sleep. Next to you in the crib was bundle of joy. He approached you first.

'Hey princess' He said sitting next to you. 'You tired?'

You nodded still fighting the urge to sleep.

'Go to sleep' He said gently cupping your cheek. 'I'll still be here with you and our little bundle'

'Promise' you said in a sleepy voice.

'I promise' He smiled kissing your head.

Yoy closed your eyes. Aether watched as your breathing became more even. He gave you a once over before looking at the baby.

She was sleeping quietly. Aether studied her. She had a head of hair which explained the heartburn you had. It was half blonde half h/c.

He smiled as the baby opened her eyes. One gold the other e/c.

'Hi' He said quietly. 'Welcome to the world. I've been waiting to meet you'

----

'Aether?' You looked at him as he held lumi. 'Can I ask a question?'

He looked up nodding.

'Why did you quit being Spiderman?' You asked.

Aether looked at you. Why?

'Because of you.' He said. 'That night I came to you injured I saw the look you had in your eyes.'

You nodded as lumi started whimpering. She was hungry. Aether hand her to you before sitting down pulling you down in his lap.

'I quit because I couldn't stand to see the look of horror on your face if I came home with worse injuries. Then I found out that you were having this little one.'

You nodded as he continued.

'I knew how bad it was going to get if I continued. I'd more than likely die if I did. So I quit.' His voice faltered slightly..

It was enough to know he was about to cry.

'I'm glad I did though. I wouldn't be here had we not done what we did that night.' You stood up.

Walking over to the crib you put her down. Walking back to aether you sat in his lap.

'You did all that for me?' You asked.

He nodded.

'Your worth everything and I can't bear the thought of you being left alone.' You kissed his cheek. 'I have a question for you though'

You nodded.

'Close your eyes' He said. You did as told.

'Y/n I know we've been together for ten months' He began. 'We've done everything out of order. But I would do anything to protect it.'

He pulled out a ring.

'I adore you so much and love you.' He stared at you. 'You can open your eyes.'

You did and saw the ring. Wait was this a proposal?

'I understand if you say no but...will you marry me?' He asked.

You stared at him then the ring.

'Yes' you said wrapping your arms around his waist.

Aether smiled hugging you back.

'I love you'he said when you pulled away. He slipped the ring on.

---

'Hey spidey' you said tossing a test at him. Aether caught it.

'This is what happens when you get handsy. ' you said smiling.

Lumi was three years old and currently at her aunts.

'Your irresistible' Aether chuckled looking at the test. 'Besides lumi has been expressing an interest in a little brother. I'll take this surprise.'

You giggled approaching the bed. Slowly you slipped under the covers aether following suit. He stared at you.

'Thanks for the last few years'Aether said.

'Thanks for sticking around.' You said.

Kazuha

Kazuha woke up. He stared at your back looking at the scratches. He traced them gently before sitting up slowly. Getting dressed he looked at you before placing a kiss on your cheek.

'Hope to you see you again' He said quietly before leaping off the balcony.

----

You stared at the doctor.

You're pregnant?

'So your about 12 weeks' the doctor said while you nodded. 'I'm giving you some prescription for prenatals.'

The doctor hands you a slip of paper before ushering you to go. You walked over to your car. Sitting in the car you stared at the steering wheel.

'I only slept with one man.'You cried. 'He's out saving the city. He wouldn't want to be tied down with a baby'

You wailed.

---

You watched in horror as the villian threw kazuha across the street. You were in the center of it being held hostage.

Debris surrounding you, smoke rising, a fire close but you couldn't move.

You looked at your stomach. You were six months along.

'Sweethearts' you whispered running your hand over the bump. 'We probably won't make it out of here. But know mommy did what she could. I hope I can meet you in the stars'

Tears started streaming down your face. Kazuha stared at you. The wind told him what you said.

'No' He whispered.

You looked up as kazuha jumped across the rubble. Another hero coming to the rescue. He wrapped an arm around picking you up. You looked up at him your face against his chest.

'No I can't loose you' He said.

You guys landed on the rooftop of a random building. He hugged you.

'K-kazuha?' You looked at him pulling away.

'Lets go home' He said. 'Wrap your arms around my neck.'

You nodded doing as he said. He wrapped his arm around your waist.

'Just focus on my face' He said. 'It might help if you get motion sick.'

You nodded.

You felt the wind as he swung around. You were silent the whole way. You felt something wet. Looking up you saw a grey sky. Thunder cracked lighting splitting the sky.

You arrived home kazuha putting you down gently. You looked at him as he pulled the mask off.

'Thanks for saving me' you said.

He nodded beckoning you forward. You moved closer to him. He looked into your eyes before pulling you closer.

You watched as his lips crashed into yours. You didn't pull back instead letting him. Kazuha pulled away slightly.

'I'm sorry' he said kissing your cheek. 'I'll be back to check on you later'

He jumped off the balcony disappearing into the rain. You stood there looking in the direction he took off. Then you looked to were all the smoke was.

---

That night you slept. The TV running a cover story on the disaster and you.

'Early today well known Dancer y/n l/n was held hostage in the middle of a fight....'

Your drowsiness took over. Then you heard it. A small tapping sound. You woke up as the sound became more urgent.

Sitting up you looked over at the balcony. There he stood leaning against one of the doors. Getting up you walked over to the door opening the one he wasnt leaning against.

'Can you help me?' He asked wheezing.

You nodded stepping aside to let him in. You looked him over noticing the heavy bleeding, his black eye, blood running down his head, his cheek was swollen, a huge gash running down his chest and stomach.

'What happened?' You asked approaching him.

'Remember the villian from ealier?' He asked as you helped him remove the suit. 'Well I ran into him again.'

'This the result?' You asked looking over his injuries.

He nodded.

'OK. I'll call for a doctor to come' you picked up the phone.

He nodded before leaning on you for support. He watched as you dialed a number before studying your face. You had a small bruise under your eye.

'Yea...thanks' you hung up. 'Lets put you in the bathroom'

He nodded and with your support managed to make it to the bathroom on the floor.

'Why did you go back to fight him?' You asked.

Kazuha looked at you reaching out to touch your cheek.

'Because your carrying my child' He said 'and you got pulled into a two year mess that I've been trying to end'

'How did you know I was carrying your child?' You asked eyes starting to water.

'After that night I started swinging by to check on you' He looked away 'I noticed the bump when you were 12 weeks. I did the math and it matched the timeline'

You nodded.

'I don't mean to come off as a stalker. I just...wanted to make sure you were ok' He started crying. 'I know I left you after that morning physically. I know it's not fair you've been alone handling this. I'm so sorry'

You started crying as well hugging him in the process.

'I'm sorry' he kept repeating.

'Its ok.' You replied. 'I knew you were busy and had no time for a child'

He cried harder suddenly gripping your shirt.

----

You woke up the next morning. Kazuha moving around slowly.

He had a concussion, fractured his arm, tore a few muscles, and had a huge slash on his chest that traveled down his stomach. Even with all those injuries that didn't stop him from doing certain things with you.

You sat up pulling the blanket to cover your body. He looked over.

'Your awake' He said.

'You didn't leave' you countered rubbing the sleep out of your eyes.

He chuckled at your response before moving towards you. You scooted over making room for him to sit. He sat down leaning against you.

You both kept silent. Kazuha looking at your belly.

'Can I touch your belly?' He asked.

'Yea' you looked at him. 'Just becareful of my chest area. Slightest touch makes it hurt.'

He nodded pulling the blanket down gently. You hissed at the pain.

'Sorry' he said running his hand over your stomach. 'Do you know the gender?'

'Two girls and a boy' you said looking out the balcony.

Kazuha had opened it up. It was still raining.

He nodded tracing the stretch marks.

'Y/n?' You felt him move. 'I understand if you don't want to but....will you allow me to help you raise the kids?'

'I don't want you to be tied down' you began but he put a finger against your lips.

'Please?' He asked. 'I did this. I want to help.'

'It won't bother you?' You asked quielty.

He shook his head no. You nodded.

Kazuha smiled before leaning in close to your face, his lips brushing against your cheek. A blush dusting your cheeks.

---

Kazuha looked at your sleeping figure. You were up against him, head on his chest.

Earlier you had asked kazuha to hold your stomach up slightly. Just enough for some relief. Holding three kids was a tiring job so at the same time you fell asleep standing up. Kazuha smiled gently kissing your head. He let you sleep.

Looking around his eyes landed on your belly.

A month had past since you agreed to let him help you raise the kids. During that time he had tossed his suit out, found a well paying job as a photographer, and helped you purchase baby things.

He also explained the two year long mess he started.

...

'Wait I'm the reason?' You had asked.

Kazuha nodded slowly.

'Yea I came across a list with four names. Yours on the top' kazuha went on to explain a human trafficking ring that was going around. 'So for the past two years I've been tracking them. Taking them out.'

You nodded.

....

'Hey dove?' Kazuha woke you up. 'Are you feeling hot?'

You nodded eyes still closed.

'Would you like to take a cold shower?' He asked guiding you towards the bathroom.

You nodded a small smile on your face.

'That sounds nice' you mumbled.

Kazuha smiled planting a gentle kiss on your cheek.

'OK let's cool you down' He smiled.

'Please three kids is too much body heat' you said as kazuha sat you down on the edge of the tub.

'At least your set for winter' He said kissing your cheek. 'Come on waters on'

----

You looked at the camera in kazuhas hands.

Currently you were in the middle of pregnancy photos. You were in a nice porcelain tub filled with water, rose, and Sakura petals. You were wearing a white dress the covered you top and bottom but left the bump bare. You had cream colored acrylics on. Your hair was in a braid with a white ribbon laced through out the braid.

Kazuha had a knack for capturing beautiful photos of you. You smiled as he took the picture.

'Are we done?' You asked him.

'One more' He said kissing your cheek. 'Lets get you out of here and on the white sheet. This last photo will be us ok?'

You smiled nodding.

'Ok'he helped you out of the tub wrapping a towel around you. 'This photo is one I've be looking forward to.'

You nodded as he sat you on the ground gently. He took his shirt off revealing his chest. The gaint slash turned into a scar traveling to his v line. He sat next to you before gently arranging the both of you in a position that worked. The picture was taken. Then you kicked out all assistants before making kazuha lock the front door.

'Its past their due date. Please help'

He chuckled crawling over you.

'I'll see what I can make happen' He kissed you.

----

You had to be induced. You were glaring kazuha down. He chuckled.

'Sorry dear I did what I could' He said before whispering something to you.

Your face turned bright red causing him to chuckle once more.

'Next time my love' He said. 'Now are you ready?'

You nodded glaring at kazuha.

'I promise you it won't happen again' He said. 'Love you dove'

He watched as you were wheeled into a different room. He sat down and waited.

----

'Its hurts' you whimpered clutching kazuha hand.

'Just push!' The doctor said.

The meds weren't covering the pain. Kazuha looked at you worried. He leaned over before whispering in your ear.

'You got this. Your a strong minded women. Just think about the reward. Three little bundles.' He kissed you cheek 'I know the pain is unbearable. Hold my hand as tight as you need to. I don't care if you break it just do it'

You whimpered before nodding. Kazuha planted a quick kiss on your lips as an encouragement.

So you spent the next 40 minutes pushing out all three kids breaking kazuha hand in the process. Girl boy girl.

'Akira, Tomo, and Raini.' You said breathless.

Kazuha sat there getting his hand wrapped, his free hand holding you. He smiled at the names.

----

You were huddled in the corner crying. All three kids were down but you were suffering from postpartum depression. It had been four months since you gave birth. Kazuha was an amazing father helping around with the kids.

Kazuha closed the door to the kids room and spotted you. Walking over to you he got to your level.

'Scale of one to ten' He said.

'9' you mumbled still crying.

'Better than yesterday. Come on. Let's go shower' He stood up holding out both of his hands. 'I'll give you a massage'

You nodded standing up slowly. Following him he set up the shower before turning towards you.

'Come here dove' He whispered opening his arms.

You approached him slowly before accepting his hug wincing in slight pain.

'Don't worry we'll take care of everything' He said. 'I promise you'

You nodded pulling away, getting undress and stepping in the shower.

----

You were in the bed looking at the ceiling as kazuha checked on the kids. You looked at the wall staring at a picture. Kazuha managed to blow up the final picture that he took with you. You smiled.

'Their still asleep' kazuha said entering the room.

'Kazu? Why did you quit being Spiderman?' You asked suddenly.

He looked at you startled by the question.

'Because of you' He said. 'I quit because I needed to save you. I did it because I for once decided to be selfish and only live for you and the kids. I wanted to do something for myself. I didn't want another scar.'

He climbed on the bed hovering over you.

'That day you were being held hostage in the middle of the fight I heard what you said. ' He looked at you 'I couldn't bear to hear those words again. So I rescued you while the other guy took care of him.'

He lowered himself till he was a inch away from your face.

'I also quit because my love for you and the kids. I want to be here for you when you need it. Not away. Am I being selfish?' He asked before giving you a kiss.

The kiss had passion, lust, desire, and hope. He pulled away.

'Please let me be selfish, and let me have you and the kids for the rest of my life.' He said.

You nodded as he pull out a small box. He opened it showing off a ring. He took your left hand placing the ring on it.

'I love you so much' He smiled.

Three small coos could be heard from the bedroom. Kazuha smiled.

Yes this is what he wanted. To be with the love of his life and their kids.

Kazuha slipped off the bed walking to the room. Opening the door he walked over to the crib and stared. He picked up raini first before walking her out to you. Then he grabbed tomo and Akira.

'Thanks kazuha' you said lifting your shirt up to feed raini.

'Your welcome little dove' He smiled leaning over to kiss you.

----

You were lying in bed. Kazuha had dropped the triplets off at their grandmother. In your hand was a test.

Two lines.

'Will he be ok with this?' You asked outloud. 'We already have three 4 year olds.'

You started doing the math. You both ended up as models. You on the more plus sized due to having the kids. Kazuha had encouraged the company he was with to take you- his wife- on as a model.

He was the whole reason plus sized models became more popular.

'Four may be too much' you whispered.

Kazuha entered quietly. He heard the last part.

Kazuha smiled approaching the bed slowly.

'Hey dear. Four is kids is perfect.' He crawled on hovering over you. 'One more kid wouldnt be bad. I'm here to help.'

You smiled as he lowered himself to kiss you.

Aether brings Xiao to a special area near Mt. Laixin

A special chapter to make it up for Xiao's bday!

C.W.:

- Fluff and angst - Kong | Aether is a ray of sunshine - Pining Xiao | Alatus - Mild sexual content - Light-hearted - Mentioned Lyney and Verr Goldet

Dear Xiao,

I’ve recently finished my exploration around Chenyu Vale, and the place has delightful scenery!

I’ve gone through the journey of tea leaves, hiking through mountains of mists, and fought a lot of new creatures. Recently, I’ve stumbled upon a location that reminds me of a place called, “The Orchard of Pairidaeza”, also known as the “Eternal Oasis” back in Sumeru.

I want you to come with me to witness this familiar feeling I have felt when I explored the Eternal Oasis.

I thought about calling you at that said time, but if you have free time you can come early if you wish! I don’t want to rush you into things.

I will be waiting for you near Mt. Laixin. If you look at the next page of this letter, I have the coordinates for this specific place.

From your traveller,

Aether.

What’s so special about that place in Chenyu Vale? A question that Xiao has pondered for the whole afternoon. What was originally a letter that was held in Verr Goldet’s hands, was something special that Xiao had to skim through the letter three times just to be sure.

An invitation to explore the area around Mt. Laixin.

A special area, Xiao’s eyes highlighted those words.

Although Xiao hasn’t really ventured deep into Chenyu Bale, he remembered how the gentle breezes carry the fragrance of tea all across the mountains of Liyue, filling the air with the savoury scent. Some say that Chenyu Vale is the fog-robed peaks of the south. The faint perfume and ancient song of jade drifts together along the rivers past Qiaoying Village to the bustling port of Yilong Wharf.

In a flash of thick dark mists, Xiao teleports himself from the top of the roof of Wangshu Inn, to a place where the first view he sees is the glowing floating jade on the summit of Mt. Laixin, where an arrow of a blue light shines through the sky. A few Sacred Simulacrums that looked to be carved as jade owls were placed on some lands, their shade of jade glowing brighter under the moonlight.

“The Chiwang Terrace…” Xiao admires the glow of the jade light amidst the destruction of the terrace above, where concrete and jade float into the air around the summit.

Just then, he hears the angry groan of a lawachurl. Xiao immediately turns his head down from the top of a boulder he was standing on, donning his mask, summoning his spear in thin air, prepared for whatever obstacle he’s about to face–

“Wiiinnnddblaaaadeeeee!!”

He sees a flash of a yellow light, the outlander’s blade slicing through the lawachurl’s defence with lethal precision. The clash of steel and rock clashes through the air, and Aether immediately jumps up into the air… and pierces his sword directing into its chest!

With a sorrowful groan, the lawachurl slumps to the ground, its body slowly disintegrating into ashes, gleams of blue and white light casting out of its body. With a heavy heave, Aether stabs his sword onto the soil, sweat dripping down from his chin and neck.

That serious look of his changes instantly when he sees a gigantic precious chest in front of him, now unlocked for all its glory.

“Yippie, new loot!” Aether gleefully runs over to the chest, and slowly opens it, revealing all of the artefacts, some mystic enhancement ores, and moras. Xiao slowly walks towards him, his footsteps quiet as he observes the outlander admiring the success of his victory against the lawachurl.

“Why would anyone want–” Xiao stops himself and changes his sentence, looking at the mountains of Chenyu Vale that are shrouded with clouds. “Forget it, it’s not my concern.”

Aether’s ears perk up from that familiar voice, and he quickly turns his head to find Xiao behind him, standing within a distance.

“Xiao! You’re here.” Aether gives him a bright smile, and runs over to him. “I’m glad, I was really worried that you wouldn’t come.”

“Why would you be worried?” Xiao asks, his jaw flexes and creases form around his eyes, and Aether knows he’s tense. “Do you perhaps not remember, or trust my promise? I told you before, if you ever need me, call me.”

“I know, I know.” Aether sheepishly rubs the back of his neck. “Even though you have accepted my calls many times, my mind couldn’t help but always think of the second scenario.”

“...Hmph.” That made Xiao let out a scoff, turning his back away to avoid Aether from seeing his face.

I’ll never understand mortals’– and your expectation of disappointment.

Seeing this action from the Vigilant Yaksha, a big, imaginary bead of sweat falls down on Aether’s head from the guilt of his words. Aether slowly walks towards Xiao from behind, in tiptoes.

“Oh Vigilant Yaksha, I’m sorry!” Aether calls out his name from behind.

The yaksha ignores.

“ General Alatus… Heed my apology, pleaseeee~” Aether purrs the title, turns it into a caress, and Xiao shudders. He could feel Aether’s voice near his ear, and he instinctively turns his head to the side.

“Xiao Xiao~” Aether whispers in the nape of his ear, making Xiao’s back shiver instantly. Xiao immediately turns away, his expression a mix of fluster and frustration, and a pink hue escapes his ears.

“What exactly do you want to show me?” Xiao diverts the subject.

“Come with me!” Aether gives Xiao an excited smile, takes his hand, and runs with him…

Onto the lake.

As the moon casts its silvery glow upon the tranquil surface of the lake, Aether steps upon the water, as if defying the laws of nature itself. As time seemed to slow down, Xiao looks down to see Aether’s footsteps leaving shimmering ripples and glows, the faintest whisper of light trailing behind like ethereal footprints upon the surface of the water.

He gazes at the outlander’s back, whose golden, braided hair flies gently in the wind, and the scent of Qingxin touches Xiao’s nose.

Back in the present time, each of Xiao’s steps reveals the gentle glow that emanated from his feet, casting a soft luminescence upon the water.

It was as if their very beings were infused with starlight, a celestial aura that illuminated the darkness with its radiant glow.

Despite the brilliance of their glow, Xiao observes how they remained untouched by the waters below, their feet suspended above the surface as if borne aloft by unseen forces.
