[He blushes when Childe calls him "extremely special". He blushes more when he talks about "synchronizing at different level". It reminds Aether of Venti, but not the one that attacked him - about Venti when Aether visited him earlier today. The boy got a kiss to the cheek and a silly smooch on the lips from the archon, but he wonders if one day it'll become normal to him. He's more than sure that Childe would kiss him without a moment of hesitation, but how would that go?
Would it be anything like in the dream?]
A-actually I... [His voice dies in his throat and Aether closes his eyes for a moment. The blush that grows on his cheeks is almost damning.]
You can reward me once your injuries heal. [He managed to say firmly.] And I already said I'd stay here with you until Mister Zhongli is back.
[He's not planning to go back on his word.
But it's... it's nice that Childe cares so much about him. Everybody keep saving him in one way or another, so sometimes it feels like he's not giving back enough.]
[ lucky for Aether, Childe can't see that blush from his position. He does perk a little at the mention of rewarding him once he's healed, though. ]
You promise, aibou~? [ he's not a fox currently, but if he had those tails they would be wagging like a puppy's. Funny since he isn't the one getting the reward, but hey! He's super curious now. ]
Ah ha, I'm glad to hear this! Will you stay for dinner with us, too, then?

I promise. [Still... he's not quite sure what he'd ask for his reward. He sighs a bit, pressing his head a bit more against Childe's chest.]
And I guess I can't say no if you're inviting me to dinner... but are you sure I won't be intruding or anything?
[He's just making sure!]

Hm... In that case, I'll be helping you with cooking. You shouldn't be moving too much with those wounds.

It's fine, we'll just order in and you can get the door. Sound good? [ he doesn't want to hear it from Zhongli if he tries making dinner, anyway. ]

[All to keep Childe in one place, so he could recover properly!]
