@constellations-aline asked: ❛ the stars in your eyes formed a lump in my throat ❜ // from xiao to aether //
it’s not often that the adeptus talks without prompting, so when he hears those words from his mouth, aether is almost convinced it’s not him speaking--- especially not to him. he can’t help the slow forming blush that spreads from his nose outwards, nearly encompassing his face as the words truly settle in. he flushes and almost stutters over his response.
“i-- uh, wha-- what?” he asks, feeling the sudden need to fidget or cover his face. it was no small secret that aether had a crush on the adeptus, he just never expected xiao to say something to him like that.
