Summary
“But we wouldn’t blame it on you – I wouldn’t blame it on you, at least.”
Something in Xiao shifts, jumps, his chest tightening around itself at Aether’s honest words. Aether is always honest with Xiao– he doesn’t sugarcoat it, but he doesn’t hurt Xiao purposefully. He’s good to me, Xiao thinks, do I deserve this?
Is he allowed to want good things for himself? Is he allowed to have Aether be good to him like this, even if he deserves it? Even if he wants it so badly it manifests as a physical ache within himself?
Xiao is warm, skin hot to the touch. He wants to pull away from Aether, as gentle as he is– he wants to run and hide, to get himself away from this apartment and Liyue Harbour. Is he allowed to have the privilege to do that?
-
in which xiao gets overwhelmed by liyue harbour's humid heat and realises a few things about himself and aether along the way.

Summary
Aether blanks, grimacing slightly. “Xiao taught you about Ganyu? Where the fuck was this help for me when I needed to know about Xiao?”
“You didn’t tell Ganyu about your – whatever – with Xiao at the time. Even Lumine didn’t realise until you came home with him on your arm,” Keqing grumbles, “Ganyu is more perceptive than most in the Qixing but she’s no Ningguang, she can’t read your mind.”
