[ A lot of it just had to do with that Xiao wasn't the type to flaunt things and his relationship with Venti was no different. Though it wasn't like he tried to hide it either, proud of how much he loved his boyfriend more than anything else in the world.

He hadn't expected it at all when that hand grabbed onto his arm, surprise clear on his face though he never quite got the chance to really ask why Aether'd done so. It took only one look at him, along with that soft touch to his arm from Venti that had him giving in without so much as a second thought. ]

Mm. If that's what you want, I have no problem doing so.

[ Xiao's voice was soft, and impossibly light as he moved in close on Aether's other side. It wasn't hard to settle in comfortably, touches gentle and warm as his eyes fell closed. This was nice and it had a warmth settling in his chest. ]

[With both of them laying at his side, he felt a warmth blooming in his chest. Was it the kizuna that made this feel so nice, or would be have enjoyed this regardless?]

[A tired sigh leaves his lips as he settles down and closes his eyes. He won't fall asleep, but this way, it'd be easier to relax and maybe calm this deep inexplicable ache in his chest.]

["I'm sorry" is what he really wants to say right now, but he figures neither of them want to hear that. So instead, he murmurs--]

Thank you.

[notgrande]

No need to thank me.

[ He's sure Xiao shares a similar sentiment. Because they are both like this. They both want to help him and they both want to ensure he is doing well. He closes his own eyes, snuggled in close for now because even though he's still sad about it all - and he doesn't understand it - he does feel better. He does feel relaxed.

And it's been a long time since he cried.

He'd forgotten that it is exhausting. ]
