Chapter Text
Aether started melting on the cafeteria table, his mood was ruining the vibe of his friends. It wasn't normal for Aether being this upset, so obviously he caught everyone's attention.
-Aether, is everything okay?- Bennet asked, saying the words everyone wanted to ask him.
Aether seemed distracted, like he wasn't even there, his eyes seemed so out of it.
A small slap was placed on his forehead making him focus, he looked in front of him to see the serious look of his sister, not mad but expressionless, he smiled nerviously and waved at her, Lumine went to her place and sitted.
-Oh, there's nothing wrong, it's just that, i think i screwed up?- Aether looked away from the eyes of his sister, which made him uncomfortable.
-How so?- asked Xinqiu as he ignored the battle of glances the twins were having, which Lumine clearly was winning.
-Soo, there's this girl, who has been following me the past months, i didn't think anything of it, so I went to talk to her. Turns out, she isn't shy, she touched me, hugged me, and started saying awful things, so I panicked and yelled "I have a boyfriend", i don't, i wish i did. But because i spoke to her, she doesn't leave me alone, and the principal doesn't do anything..- Aether talked so fast that almost nobody catched the whole thing, but who did, was really mad.
-Aether, Im going to commit arson.- Lumine got up and was about to run to hit that girl but Aether stopped her.
-Don't, please? We're still inside. Besides, it seemed to do the trick, when i told her about my non-real boyfriend, she started being more carefull if I'm accompanied by a guy. Seems like she doesn't want to get involved on a fight, maybe it will work- Aether added, stoping his sister of commiting a crime.
-But who would pretend to be your boyfriend?- Asked Chongyun.
-That's what i was about to ask, you read my mind yun!- Xinqiu hugged him, sucessfully teasing chongyun.
-Well, I dont know, my male friends are all in a relationship or about to be, the only one who's left is Albedo, a-and I CAN'T, literally PHISICALY can't ask him to do such thing, it would be unfair, more because of my feelings- Aether blabbled. Blushing a bit, while speeding his voice even more.
-Razor thinks, the small punk would help- Razor said trying to remember the name of the boy.
-Xiao? Well i mean, I did consider it, but, knowing him, he wouldn't do something like that... But it's Aether we are talking about.. so there is a chance he will agree- Lumine said, considering the options of his brother- I like Xiao, I know he wouldnt do anything to my brother, so I think he is the right choice.
-OH POOR AETHER, on a vast void, without options, trapped for eternity, doomed.- Fischl said dramatically.
-Well that was just rude, you could have told him he is going to fail more gently- said xingqiu.
-Well i guess i dont have another option, i think i'll ask him, so im going- Aether got up and escorted himsef out of the cafeteria.
