we have been loving each other in secret, thinking the love is unrequited, but i am dying and you are confessing your love, begging me to stay, but i refuse to believe you because no one is able to love a monster like me ~🐋Childe to Aether

Prompt from here:

Dammit! He just had to go and use Foul Legacy, didn't he?! Aether cursed internally, seeing the shape Childe was in now. This was unfair! "Why did you have to go and be reckless?! We would have been fine without Foul Legacy!" There's a shudder as Aether tries to fight back his emotions, which are already out of control. Help was on the way, sure, but what good would it be if they didn't get there in time? "Just, just hold on! Okay? You've got to. You've still got to make it back home to your family. Your siblings. Especially Teucer. Remember the promises you've made to them?"

The scarf had long been removed to help keep pressure on the bigger wounds, Aether clearly hanging by a thread of keeping his composure. "I need you to stay. You have to. I- I love you, okay?! Since the time we've met, I've never enjoyed sparring with someone like i have with you, and getting to you as the real you.. I love you. So I need you to stay! Even if you don't believe me, I have no reason to lie, so please.. please.. stay. Stay awake just a little longer. I can't lose you.. not you.. not you too.."

Truth serum: if you can’t get Lumine away from the Abyss Order would you join her or leave this world all together?

Aether is quiet at the question. If.. if he can't get her away from the Abyss? Surely.. surely that wouldn't be the case. He'd bring her back! They'd continue the journey together! They always had and always would, they were supposed to stay together! But.. could he bring himself to turn his back on everyone? Joining the Abyss after seeing and knowing what they've done..

His chest hurts. His heart aches. This wasn't fair. "..I'll.. I'll bring her home. If I can't, then I'll just make myself join her." As much as it isn't what he wants to say, it's the truth. Not one he wants to accept.

[protectivemuses]

Aether blinks as he stares at the other, impressed and also concerned. "You.. wanted it?.. As in.. as a pet?" He's tilting his head. Not that he thinks it weird, but he's moreso curious now. "Won't they just run if you put them in your pocket or something?"

Quiet...very quiet...and then...he's pounced! The little lizard cannot scramble away now! But he supposes this warrants an explanation...

"...I wanted it."

Tbh I think Ada is really underrated as Kitten Burst characters go.

Aether rolled his eyes at his sister. "Even I know you're a horrible liar, Lumine. Nice try though, I guess." He spoke, looking over at her. "And yeah, but you tend to remember things a lot easier than I do, don't forget that detail. I have to study more if I want any hope of passing this exam coming up."

Sighing followed by a groan, he looked at the ceiling before looking back at her. "If I stop long enough to eat, will you let me go back to studying torture afterwards?" He supposed his back could a bit of a break, after all. Plus he really probably should stretch at least for a few seconds if not just long enough from moving to get everything moving again.

@protectivemuses continued from here

"My fat fingers ordered too much, what can I say?" she blatantly lied. She knew he wouldn't believe it either way but oh well. She needed to get him to look up from his damn book and if rolling his eyes at her obvious lie did that all the better.

"Also, you know studying like this is why we have practically the same grades even though I study half as much as you. If you drain yourself like this you'll never remember anything come the test. Breaks my dear brother. Breaks are the key. And food. Now get your butt out of that chair and come eat this chinese food with me."

Layla had been so caught up in analyzing the latest star chart that she almost didn't notice Aether walk by. Almost. Golden eyes snapped over to the back of Aether's head; fully turning around to tap the Traveler on his shoulder.

"Traveler, if you're not terribly busy may I join you?" She had been meaning to catch up with him.

Aether had felt caught up on current tasks, so he decided that going back to check in with old friends never hurt when he had time to. Though the only thing that he disliked about the desert areas was that sand often got into his shoes, but he could tolerate it for good reason. Turning at the tap to his shoulder, he smiled and nodded. "Layla! Of course you can. It's been a while, after all. I'm sure there's plenty you've got to tell me, and I was actually on my way to see the others too. Company is always fun, so you're welcome to join along."

Honestly, it wasn’t all that often that the Meropide would find himself in such a position. Or even able to indulge in his desires like this overall. He had quite the image to maintain after all, especially in a place like this.

Yet now with the Traveller, well, he trusted them plenty to show this side of himself.

That, plus the fact that he found them to be quite the intriguing person, how could he not be eager to have them now? To see just how they’d react once he’d begun to touch them, tease and try to take apart any and every ounce of composure they had…First things first, however—

“Stop or slow down will work just fine if you need to, but if I get in a foggy enough headspace—“ He firmly tugged the leash taut, once, twice in quick succession. “—that will work just as well. Understood?”
