Work Text:
Razor entered the room of the bright blonde-haired boy after eating dinner at Aether's place, looking around at the dimly lit room.
It was a fairly normal room. A study desk with stacks of book, papers, and other stationeries set atop the desk, a bed that was a little too large for only one person— good thing Razor was sleeping over, an AC system right above the bed which was probably why there were so many blankets on the bed; Aether would've probably accumulated sheer cold if it weren't for those blankets and a few other things that Razor didn't pay attention to.
Why didn't he pay attention, you might be wondering? Well, it's because all of his attention was on his partner lying down on the bed, one of the blankets wrapped around him. Though, Razor could still see the navy blue oversized shirt that the blonde wore.
It was cute, Razor though. His boyfriend in an oversized shirt sure was a nice sight.
After Razor realized that he was just standing there and staring, he stepped into the room and promptly closed the door behind him.
Now, Aether had his eyes on the gray-haired boy as he got the chair near the study table and dragged it near the bed. He was a little disappointed since he expected Razor to lay, or at least sit down on the bed.
"Hey." Aether greeted as Razor took a seat on the chair. Razor smiled at him sweetly and greeted him back with a "Hi."
The awkwardness was growing. Neither of them had something to talk about, which was the norm since they rarely spoke in school, branding them as one of the quiet kids.
Even though Aether was a quiet kid, he was quite well known throughout the school for being a transferee, since the school didn't receive new people often.
The two got to know each other when the two were partnered up by their science teacher, Mr. Albedo. They became friends and they developed feelings for each other.
Everyone and I mean EVERYONE knew they got the hots for each other. Well... Everyone except the two of them. Even teachers 'shipped' them, the teachers would pair them up together in every performance task and changed the seating arrangements to make the two sit next to each other.
Aether eventually confessed after being forced by his best friend, Amber into confessing. It took a lot of convincing that Razor liked him too, and it was worth it in the end.
It has been 4 months since they became a thing and they're still a bit awkward towards each other at certain times, especially when alone.
"Hey, Razor. Want to sit over here?" Aether asked as he patted the spot next to him. He was glad that the room was dark enough for Razor to not see the blush on his face as he asked the question.
To his surprise, Razor nodded enthusiastically as he sat up from the chair and crawled his way beside the blonde and sat beside him. After Razor stopped moving to find a comfortable position, Aether planted a small kiss on the gray-haired boy's cheek.
Ain't their awkwardness just adorable?
Razor chuckled at the motion but was oh so obviously flustered. Even in the dimly lit room, Aether could still see the faint blush creeping up on Razor's face.
"Razor kiss you back later." Aether put his hand to his cheek and squealed internally from what his partner stated. While he was looking around for something to look at except Razor. He took a glance at the clock. A red light glowed from its screen saying that it was now 10:24.
What time did they eat dinner, seriously—?
Aether poked the side of Razor and pointed at the clock. Razor knew what he meant and asked, "Is Aether sleepy?".
The blonde nodded slightly. To be honest, the only reason he wanted to 'sleep' was so that he could hug or be hugged by Razor.
Razor smiled and laid down on the bed, gesturing for the blonde to lay beside him. Aether did as told and laid on his side beside Razor, putting the blanket around the both of them.
After a few seconds of silence, Aether put an arm around Razor. "Razor not sleepy."
Aether giggled while staring at the crimson red eyes that were staring back at him, "Don't worry, me too." he smiled.
"Want to talk for a while?" Aether asked, fully knowing that he'll be the one doing most of the talking since Razor wasn't exactly a talkative type.
Razor hummed in agreement, then moved closer to his boyfriend, soon positioning himself on top of the blonde, making Aether spread his legs a little to give Razor's legs space. After Razor found a comfortable position, he placed his head on the crook of Aether's neck. "Razor want cuddles while talk."
Aether felt his face heat up like never before. The feeling of Razor's body pressed against his, he can feel the beat of his partner's heart as if it was beating out of his chest. Aether's was probably going to jump out of his chest from all that was happening.
And he could hear each and every inhale and exhale Razor made and it sounded like music to his ears. The slightly shaky breath that his boyfriend made was heavenly. It made his head think what it would sound like if Razor said his name while breathless. It would probably send Aether into a seizure.
"What is on Aether's mind?" Asked Razor, snapping Aether out of his trance. "Heh? It's nothing-"
Obviously a lie and Razor could tell too.
Razor squinted his eyes and his brows furrowed. "Razor feel something hard"
The blonde hid his face with his right hand. He felt Razor's stare pierce into his soul as he muttered "You're pressed up against me, so it's natural for that to happen."
Lies, he was thinking of not so innocent thoughts. Though, Razor seemed to believe what the blonde said.
"Should Razor get off of y-"
"No."
Aether wrapped his two arms around Razor to make sure he's not going to move away. "I want you here. Just ignore the uhmm... Hard thing. It'll go away soon"
The gray-haired boy hummed and cuddled with Aether. They seemingly forgot that they were supposed to talk about things, but instead stayed silent and cherished the moment.
"Hey, Razor?"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
A smile once again crept on Razor's face. No matter how many times he heard Aether say those 3 words, he wouldn't get tired of it, ever.
Razor planted a couple of gentle kisses on his partner's neck before leaning in close to his ear and whispering "Razor loves you too"
Aether chuckled softly as Razor continued to kiss his neck. The blonde put a hand on the back of Razor's head for two reasons. To play with his long gray hair and to make sure that his head stays there, in one of his most sensitive spots.
Guess Razor did mean that he would pay Aether back for the kiss on the cheeks earlier, cause he was peppering Aether's neck with kisses, not that Aether minds.
Oh how Aether wanted Razor to make those gentle kisses into rough ones. The ones that leave marks, but if they were to do that it would probably escalate, and two hormonal teenagers, home alone getting turned on is not a good idea.
After a while, Razor stopped his kissing fest on Aether's neck and told Aether about the things that happened throughout the school day. Which was out of the norm since he rarely does that.
The way Razor babbled about how Mr. Tartaglia interrupting Mr. Zhongli's economics class just to steal a kiss was adorable.
Aether always looked forward to moments like these. Where his boyfriend does most of the talking and he could just listen to the voice that he found so comforting and soothing.
Somewhere around when Razor was talking about how his friend, Bennet was crushing at this one girl named Fischl. Aether felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. When they were fully closed, Razor noticed and stopped talking.
He looked at the peaceful Aether and leaned in. Gently kissing the half-asleep Aether on the lips. To his surprise, the half-unconscious blonde actually managed to kiss back, and it was one of the best kisses he'd experienced.
Aether kissed a little sloppy but was still full of love. As for Razor, he kissed gently with very little movement. A very pleasing chaste kiss. Razor soon pulled away, finding Aether looking at him, eyes half-closed.
Razor pushed aside a cluster of hair and kissed the blonde's forehead. "Good night, Aether. Razor loves you."
Aether smiled as he closed his eyes once again and replied, "I love you too..." his voice, getting more and more silent as sleep took over.
The gray-haired boy looked at Aether and smiled before laying himself on Aether, he buried his head on the blonde's chest and fell asleep soon after.
