“ It’s an  inazuma  specialty!  One  of  a kind,   even I   was  surprised  to it’s absurdness!   But  the sushis  are delicious! “       Tohma  placed  his  hands  on  his  shoulder, as an excited grin appeared   on his  handsome face.

   “ Let’s try  it  aether!  It’s a date! “

@daiirekka​ ASKED:

" Did you know, you can eat sushi here while it was served on a naked man's body , We should try it together! "

How long Kaeya had been waiting for the Traveler to return to the serenitea pot was anyone's guess, but the meal he had prepared for him was half eaten and an array of candles set across the main room were burnt down to the end of their wicks. And the Captain himself was passed out on the sofa.

       There was weight in those shoulders, everything felt so heavy to the Traveler. A beam of perpetual sunlight bleeds across the floorboards as he pushes open one of the doors with a light creaking. He drags his feet as he enters, letting the doors shut on their own behind him. It takes him several seconds before he notices he’s not alone. His eyes catching sight of the cold food on the table, one seating untouched, the other half-eaten. melted candles-- and no scent of them lingering still. A small wrinkle appears between his brows at the sight, confusion bubbling up within him as he turns his head to look around. Past a few chairs and over by the fireplace, laying sprawled over one of the sofas-- is where Aether finds Kaeya, fast asleep.                                 His favorite Favonius knight. 

Something clenches within his chest, gloved hand lifting to squeeze against the harden leather of his chest plate. Kaeya had done all this for him? Something one might consider very little, just some food and a few candles-- but to Aether it was monumental. He wasn’t often the object of such niceties. Not for a lack of caring from others of course. Aether was just constantly on the move, from point A to point B then to M then Z then back to A again. He walks closer, leaning over the back of the sofa with a guided hand. Fingers ever so softly delve against the deep dark blue hair, gently moving it from Kaeya’s sleeping face. The blond leans against one of his elbows as the tips of his fingers ghost along the edge of the knight’s jaw.              He admires him in the soft silence surrounding them.              Quietly he whispers to the sleeping form,

              Oh Tohma. You sweet summer child, still thinking Aether is human. But that's okay. Aether is too much taken back by the fact you have a collection to begin with. What is this? Some weird harem???

     The  moment he found himself being lifted up, startled tohma- making him very surprised   at  the sudden  situation he was. Covering his face, he blushed  hard as his pride as the dom male  had  been stepped down by aether. 

       “ ahhhh— don’t look at me “

He’s very amused by how dark Tohma is blushing. It makes his own surprise melt away as he hoists the other a little higher in his arms. Clearly despite Aether’s size, he was surprisingly strong. 

              Chuckles  at  his  poor  attempt to push him 

                 “  That   won’t   do  traveler!   That’s your place ~ ! “

         Oh. You wanna go huh ? You brought this on yourself !! He relents his half-hearted pushing. His ego teased too much with the other’s choice in words. Aether stands there motionless for a few seconds, eyes gazing up at the other blond.... before suddenly he bursts to life, body sweeping low as he bolts in, forearm catching Tohma’s hip. Weight placed to his other foot, Aether in the same motion HEAVES the taller man up in his arms-- using momentum to render Tohma disarmed in his arms. Aether stands there, practically princess carrying the other. 

He almost seems surprised himself.

   “ To assert my dominance in terms of height! “ 

          Walks over and slowly attempts to push him down.
