Summary
Aether takes a step towards him, and another. Heavy, tired, in everything but his eyes. Xiao uncrosses his arms, opens them, and Aether falls into him like a domino destined to fall.
Aether buries his face on Xiao’s shoulder. Inhaling. Exhaling. Deflates. His hold is tight around Xiao.
“I’m back,” Aether whispers.
Xiao closes his eyes, burying his face in Aether’s golden hair. Xiao holds on just as tight, one hand between Aether’s scapulae and the other a band around his waist. Xiao breathes in moonlight and sweat, the slight spiciness of Aether’s scent underneath everything.
“Welcome home, traveler,” he whispers.
