Summary
"Where is Xiao?" Aether tried to push himself upright and his body informed him, in no uncertain terms, that this was not going to happen. He subsided back against the pillow with a sharp breath that cost him in the ribs. "Paimon, where is he? Is he okay?"
"Turn your head," Paimon said. "To the right. Just turn your head."
or; Aether wakes up in a Liyue infirmary three days after a battle in the Chasm. Xiao is right there beside him.

Summary
“Xi-” He starts, before he chokes on his own breath once more, falling forward and causing Paimon to scramble out of the way as he presses his face against the backs of his hands, still buried in the dirt, his mind spinning so fast he feels like he might pass out.

Summary
There was no one Aether could blame but himself. How could he forget that even just mentioning Xiao would practically summon him? Well, at least he's with friends, they'll be able to save him from himself, won't they? (No, no they won't)
OR the one in which Aether is gushing about Xiao to Cyno, Tighnari, Kaveh, and Alhaitham until a certain adeptus appears and overhears him.

Summary
The Yaksha was not built to be gentle. His hands were made to wield a weapon; he was raised and trained to fight and defeat, to not flinch at the sight of blood staining his clothes. He was a warrior, tainted by his kamic debt and cursed to always kill, to eventually go mad. His body was not accustomed to being gentle.
But Aether never saw him as any of this. The traveller saw him as he was, a warrior who went through hell and crawled his way out, an adeptus who battles his own demons every day, along with following his duty as Liyue’s last remaining yaksha. This is why Xiao finds it easy to try and be gentle, to try and use his hands for more than violence.

The story of The Traveler and the Vigilant Yaksha, two beings who learn how to be merely Aether and Xiao alongside eachother.
