    Summary

    "I… I wanted to make you a gift. For your birthday," Aether admits quietly, biting his lip as he shyly looks up through his lashes at the adeptus. "I knew you wouldn't like any of the more traditional mortal gifts, and I didn't want to gift you a weapon, so I thought…" he trails off, suddenly finding it difficult to hold Xiao's gaze. "Do… Do you like it?"

    Xiao's eyes are wider than usual, but Aether struggles to read the emotion behind them for the first time in a while. His golden eyes flit back to the instrument, and suddenly he holds it like it's a precious jewel, like he could break it with the slightest wrong move. "Oh," he murmurs, voice barely a breath over the soft breeze.

    or,
    Aether, new to the instincts and urges being an Alpha gives him, stumbles through a courting attempt. The recipient? One lonely Adeptus that calls Wangshu Inn his home.
