Chapter Text
The instant he called his name, he heard the sound of the grass being crush, he turn his head to the song, even in pain, at least he success to do something useful in his life, that's a first.
Aether found it funny, to see Xiao's face when he saw him, the blood flowing down from everywhere, how his face change from cold to devastation, it was like the world was collapsing, but right it was only his world.
He rush and kneels in front of Aether, Xiao put his hand on Aether's cheek as he close his eyes. He didn't want to see Xiao crying, especially not during his last minutes. But just Xiao's presence was enough, comforting, like he was dreaming. But the dream was only starting, because in some minutes he would dream forever.
Paimon wasn't here, She was probably eating something with Xiangling, at least she could have a meal within him struggling to pay it, that's a first.
Xiao continue crying, it was the first time Aether was seeing so emotional, it didn't suits him, a smile would be prettier. "Aether... you're going to make it..."
Xiao's words made Aether feel guilty, he was leaving someone that needed him in his life, but Aether always too focused on those pessimistic thoughts.
During his entire life Aether always heard people saying "A person who don't love themselves can't love someone", at first he thought that made sense, but during his life, he couldn't understand it anymore, he doesn't loves himself so who can he possibly love this person crying his heart out during his death, he doesn't deserve to love, especially someone like Xiao. But it's too late to realize that.
Aether's vision start getting blurrier and blurrier as Xiao continue repeating the words "... don't leave me...". He listens to his voice until everything went dark. At least Xiao was here, the last thing he sees was his golden eyes, his beautiful eyes...
But something didn't go as planned. Why did he woke up? He's plan was supposed to work, like always he's not good at anything, he can't do anything...
