I have no clue if this is angst or just protective Aether beating his ass and being angry.
Xiao snuck back into his room in silence. It looked like Aether is still sleeping from his point of view. That was until he turned on the lights. It really was pillows and blond shirts wrapped up in a braid.
Suddenly, he was attacked from behind. A blond guy in a ponytail And nightclothes held him tight. It looked like he could snap his arm in a instant. It really was Aether.
"I am a embodiment of a star. Did you really think that I didn't see you leave with injuries to come back with more? Go on. You can say I have no respect for the Adepti. Like every time."-Aether
"Just-! Let me go!"-Xiao
"No. Until I get answers and you Promise you resist when I patch you up. Why did you leave when you know you were in pain and bed rest?"-Aether
Xiao tried to flip back and kicked Aether, but instead Aether dodged and tugged on his arm. There was a snap noise. Xiao was laying on his back now.
"Good. I can see your face. And don't worry, I didn't break the bone."-Aether
"I don't have bones."-Xiao
"Not from what I heard. Are you deaf now? I can do more than that. Start talking, or your face will be rearranged."-Aether
"Tch. Fine. There has been a huge amount of demonic activity these days. So I took the time when you were sleeping to check it out. And I ended up hurt."-Xiao
"I should punch you. But instead, I'll let you live. Now let me get the bandages and you're staying here."-Aether
Xiao tried to sit up, only for Aether to step on his leg. "Stay down. You have a big hole in your stomach. You don't bleed out, but It will hurt when you move."
Aether got a box full of bandage wraps and proceeded to wrap them tight. Xiao winced at every contact with his skin. Aether Just looked at him and tighten them harder.
"Oh don't whine. You deserve this. You were the one who went to fight the demonic activity thinking it was easy."-Aether
"But YOU are the one that's putting on the bandages and making them tight enough to kill me before my injuries heal."-Xiao
"There, done. You happy?"-Aether
Aether flopped back into bed. Xiao tried to do the same, but his ended up in pain. Every movement hurt. Was this his intention?
"Your back...it's bleeding."-Xiao
"Let it bleed. Just like you suffering every day from your karmic debt, I suffer with my own scars for a coward."-Aether
"But, someone should patch it up. It looks like it's ripping the skin." Xiao tried to put his hand on it but Aether flinched.
"DONT TOUCH ME!"-Aether
Aether once again turned the raven's arm until he heard a snap. Xiao wanted to scream. Why was he hurting him this way?
"Why are you angry?"-Xiao
"Because I cared about you and you don't even care about yourself or me! I tended your scars, I sharpen your weapon, I fixed your weapon, I made you food, I have done all I can! And to only receive you not caring a single bit and just ignoring me fucking hurts Xiao!"-Aether
"Aether, I-"-Xiao
"You have no right to that name anymore. Sora is fine with me."-Aether
Aether got up to use the bathroom. "And one more thing. I see you as a weapon, nothing more."
"Good. At lease you can still learn respect for the Adepti, mortal."-Xiao
Mortal? What the fuck is mortality? Aether cut himself with a knife in his pocket. He let his blood drip to the ground. It reacted like oil in a cooking pot.
"DOES BEING A HUMANIZED BOMB MEAN MORTALITY? TELL ME, ADEPTUS XIAO! Since you're so great and so strong that you don't even deserve happiness. I have given up on myself long ago, so your answer will not hurt me."-Aether
Aether extended his arms wide like he wanted a hit from somebody. He didn't show any fear. He was a brave soul.
Xiao hugged him instead. Aether froze. He was expecting a punch or a hand to the neck. This all was abnormal to him.
"I do care. Love is a weakness in my eyes. And I didn't want you hurt. I didn't want you gone like everyone else."-Xiao
Aether's eyes soften. He knew what he meant. Most of the people he cared about are no longer with them. The past held grudges, and so did he.
Maybe this was all a mistake
I made a Aethersexual Stan cry from angst.
