Summary
It is not until one night, as they are resting in their shared room in the Serenitea Pot, that the trend of Aether's dreams changes slightly.
It is one of the rare nights that Xiao is allowing himself to sleep, dozing more than anything as he lays next to Aether, but his eyes snap open when he hears a whimper. Aether's brow is furrowed slightly, as is usual when he is having a nightmare, but he squirms a moment later, which is… less normal for him. Xiao watches him squirm a bit more and make several indecipherable murmurs, feeling more and more confused. His individual actions point towards a nightmare, but something's not quite adding up as it should. This is further emphasised when he hears a breathy "Xiao," from Aether.
Well, if he isn't in a nightmare, then what else could he be dreaming about? Xiao decides it wouldn't hurt to take a look just to be sure. He is not at all prepared for what he ends up intruding on.
