"Aether, overwhelmed, had lost the strength to breathe, he didn't know how to untangle the knot in his throat and the more he thought about it, the more he adjusted the knot, getting into endless trouble. He could not stop the gasps that constantly interrupted the peaceful silence of the environment as they escaped from Aether's choking throat, who was stunned and overwhelmed by an intense headache that managed to annoy him to the point that tears threatened to come out of his eyes. He didn't want to, he couldn't do it, but the internal scream brushed his throat threatening to be this the next one to come out of his mouth, and not a simple gasp full of anguish. All said and done, the atmosphere was disturbed by a stunning scream accompanied by tears and sobs that managed to tear the blond's throat every time they escaped his lips. Aether's face did not show tranquility, his frown and his eyes closed, swollen and accompanied by noticeable dark circles and continuous tears that refused to stop flowing down Aether's face. The blond needed a break, he had to get out of there because he would feel that the four walls of the bathroom would trap him and would not let him out until he was killed, he felt overwhelmed and needed fresh air. 

Already outside the building, he managed to feel how the cold penetrated his bones thanks to the little coat he was wearing, he did not have the luxury of putting on a jacket thanks to the rush it brought, the feeling of overwhelm strengthened with the passage of time and he had to get out of there as soon as possible before drowning in his thoughts. The air hit his face before a sigh had escaped from his mouth forming a mist with a distorted shape that faded with the passing of the seconds, I watched as the mist disappeared and sighed again forming another mist, but now this was fainter and was so weak that it did not take so long to make it disappear, I watched the nothingness itself while comparing the quality of his life, his life itself, with a mist, his life had vanished years ago, when his mother took him to the psychologist looking for an answer of what it happened to him, an answer that he had, but she refused to give it to him and share her darkest secrets, she felt guilty for this, she was his mother and the one she should ignore, the one she should hate, was her father, the man who was never present if it was about feelings, the man who seemed to talk to her as if he were a stranger with whom she had started a fight, her life had vanished when the doctor gave a diagnosis to her mother, confirming that it was what she had, she had taken eternal it was heard between those 4 walls, it had been difficult for him to trust a stranger who paid him to listen to him, but in the end he felt comfortable, let down his guard, and then he attacked, in a span of minutes his trust had been destroyed, the words that came out of the doctor's mouth could not be excused or silenced, screams could be heard miles away from that room, crying, that day, The doctor had given his mother a diagnosis confirming that he suffered from anorexia. Her mother, inconsolable cried while looking at Aether looking for an answer, trying to convince herself that it was a lie, and even without an answer, she seemed so convinced of this ideal that she did not take the problem into account if not until Aether had cried thanks to the fact that her salad had oil, at that moment she reacted and understood that she had to pay attention to the problem and that she could not leave Aether in the hands of an innocent boy, in the hands of Xiao, who was simply her immature friend who was also suffering. 

Aether came back to reality after hearing some laughter in the distance, they were two girls dressed in white who were walking drunk through the dark streets. The blond couldn't help but fix his gaze on them and on the smile of the one who seemed to be older, then he remembered that he hadn't heard Xiao's laughter for a long time, he hadn't laughed with him for a long time, he remembered Xiao's smile and couldn't help but smile, he would give anything to hear that laughter again, his voice that was much sharper when he was having fun, and the shared looks that seemed to be eternal even if they only lasted seconds.

The disturbed voice of one of the girls caught his attention, he raised his gaze again to one of them who kept a disgusted look, doing the. The confusion expressed on his face did not go unnoticed when one of them called him a "pervert" and then he understood that he had been staring at a girl's chest for longer than he would have liked, however, it was simply a misunderstanding.

Aether wanted to talk to clarify the situation when one of them came up to him and hit him before taking his middle finger and leaving with the other girl who was laughing in the distance and disappearing into the darkness of the streets. The burning was present on the blond's cheek who let out a moan because of the pain, decided to return home still confused by what had happened. 

When the door of the apartment arrived, he tried to open it carefully to avoid making noise, he wanted to avoid any argument or fight with Xiao at all costs, he was already tired of such situations.

His face of horror became present when he saw Xiao leaning against the wall looking at him with a murderous face that seemed to read all his thoughts, anguish became present in his throat when Xiao started talking and claiming to have left at that time of the morning.

- I couldn't sleep and I went out to get some fresh air - the blond man blurted out overwhelmed.

"OK, I believe you, but you worry me, don't go out anymore at this time without telling me," Xiao replied between gasps of anguish.- I thought you'd leave me or something.

- Love...- Aether replied between babbles.- You know I would never leave you, why do you insist so much on that topic?- I question without hiding the concern on his face.

- Love? Xiao asked with confusion.

- I'm your partner, can't I call you that? 

- Well, it's weird, you never call me that way...

Aether smiled sweetly before hugging Xiao, I completely forget that this could make him uncomfortable, he just got carried away by his needs. Only, he was surprised to separate and see that Xiao's face did not express discomfort, in fact, he could not perceive discomfort in it, but the confusion that Xiao had flooded the environment.

- What's the matter?- asked Aether longing for an answer without screams.

- Is that a woman's perfume? Xiao asked before approaching Aether again and sniffing her neck, checking that her hypothesis was true.- Who were you with, Aether? 

"With no one, it's just-" he was interrupted by Xiao's screams.

- That sucks, now who are you cheating on me with?- shouted the one with dark hair, not caring about the presence of his neighbors in the building.

-With no one, I just collided with a lady on the street, don't misunderstand the situation, I- he was interrupted, again.

- Shut up, "and I won't call you love again" - Xiao replied without a space between words, when he got angry he forgot to modulate, leaving Aether with a new dilemma, to understand what he was saying.

- But... Xiao, believe me, I haven't done anything - Claimed Aether

Aether's voice was breaking, she didn't believe it but she hadn't managed to stop the tears and prevent them from flowing through her skin. I noticed that I was more sensitive during the week, but I didn't understand that I was in that state.

Xiao's gaze softened when he saw the state of his partner, he thought about it, he should always think about things a lot before talking, then he looked at the blond again and his tears falling down his face, then he spoke - I'm sorry, love... I didn't want to - Xiao blurted out.- Me... I'm going to sleep, rest please - Xiao blurted out letting the worry and guilt take over his voice.
