Feelings

~

I sit on the Stone Gate bridge, gazing over the waterfalls. Humming slightly, I heard a lyre play,

"Venti?" I turned my head to see the bard, he smiled as if he wasn't tired at all.

"Hello dear friend!" What are you doing?" He asked as he tilt his head, going down to sit beside me.

"Just.. looking at the view." I sighed and looked up,

"The moon is shining really bright today, huh? And the stars..." I gazed at the sky even more. The more I look at it, it shined even brighter, how is that even possible? The cold air blowed right through us. I shivered and rub my arms to make myself warm, closed my eyes as I do so.

"Ah, here Y/N.~" he took off his aqua cape and covered me with it, "Does the pianist feel warm now?"

My cheeks flushed red, I wasn't expecting him to do that. My eyes opened and looked at him,

"Yeah, thank you Venti." I said softly, as if I were tired, "Hey, aren't you sleepy? It's like 10 pm."

"Aha, Nope! I'm still not sleepy!" He replied.

"I guess I'll stay up late then, for you.. b-because I don't want you to get hurt or anything while I'm asleep." Dang it, I stuttered.. how embarrassing.

"Oh? Okay then. Fancy and evening stroll?" He asked, I nod and smiled. Venti suddenly held my hand, giggling.

"Alright then, onto Wangshu Inn!" He swung both of our arms as he marched like a soldier.

"HAULT! Who goes there? I am not letting anyone come in here at 10:20 pm in the evening." A Millelith flung his trident to block our way, we groaned in pain.

"We're just here to cross the bridge Sir, we need to go to Wangshu Inn, right now! Us children are so.. tired.. from the battles we had to face!" He whined. I snickered, Venti looked at me and smirked, then looked at the Millelith again. The Millelith's gaze my
softened,

"Oh, you poor kids.. alright, you may go. Don't tell this to my boss though." He held his trident upright, close to him. We happily walk on the bridge. Venti pointed at the Wangshu Inn that was from afar,

"Almost there! Just a few more minutes of walking and we'll be there in no time! Then we can finally sleep in a cozy bed... aahh.."

"Let's hope that there's a room with two beds for us, Venti. haha.. yeah.."

"Mhm!"

.

11:00 pm. We arrived in time. Phew!

"1 room with 2 beds..? Mm.. let's see.."

"Mi-"

"Ah yes! 2 rooms left, what lucky winners. Usually, all of the rooms would be full! Haha." She gave us the room key, "Enjoy your stay at Wangshu Inn, if there are any problems please report it to me."
