Ethereal = Venti x Reader

Liyue Harbor

(Yall.. I'm changing the mora cuz YOU guys keep 'bullying' me of how cheap the stuff are 🙄🙄🙄)

"I've never been to Liyue Harbor before! This is my first time going here. Can't wait to taste the new dishes." Y/N chirped. Paimon looked at her in shock.

"What? Well, Paimon will show you the delicious foods! If you can't finish them, then Paimon'll eat them for you!" Paimon exclaimed, while floating beside Y/N.

"Hehe. Okay Paimon." The h/c haired girl laughed, Aether facepalms while Venti chuckled.

"Augh... emergency food is replacing me with Y/N." Aether sighed, Paimon turned to Aether.

"Hey! That joke is getting too old and Paimon doesn't appreciate being called Emergency Food!" Her cheeks puffed up and turned to Y/N and pouted, "Aether is so mean!" Y/N patted Paimon's head,

"You guys have a strong friendship, hope I could have that kind of friendship with Aether too." Her eyes gazed at Aether and smiled, the blonde boy blushed and smiled back. The bard crosses his arms and looks way,

"W—what about me Y/N? We have a strong friendship too, I—I think." he stuttered. The girl glanced at Venti,

"Ah...not really a strong friendship.." she mumbled. (😈)

"Oh." The bard's voice trembled. The girl spoke up, "just kidding. We have a really, really strong friendship Venti-" He ran up beside Y/N.

"Wah!! Stop messing with me!" Venti hit her arm playfully, "you promised me that you were going to stop making those harsh 'jokes,' and you broke that promise!" He pinched her cheeks and Y/N yelped.

"Ow-ow-ow! Stop it!"

"We're here!— Eh?! Quit playing around!" Paimon yelled, the two stopped screaming at eachother.

"Hmph."

"Ahaha..." Aether nervously laughed, confused of what happened since he wasn't listening to them fight.

.

The group explored Liyue Harbor, then the group parted their ways. Y/N and Venti together and Aether and Paimon together.
The blonde and the pixie are usually at the restaurants, Paimon spending Aether's food and such. While the pianist and the bard are fishing.

"Caught one-! Ah... a shrimp.." Venti groaned and glanced at Y/N, who was reeling in the fishing net, he gasped at the size of the fish.

"Hnngh.. heavy.. Hm? Venti, why are you giving me that look for-?" The bard pointed at the fish and his jaw went wide open.

"You, I, you?? I-"

"Bard, what? Speak. Spit it the heck out. What do you wanna say? I'm listening."

"Huh?! Mm.. can't believe you caught that huge fish, considering that you look.. eh.. kinda of.."

"Kind of what?"

"Weak-"

Y/N set the fish inside the bucket that was beside her, then she tackled Venti to the ground.

"I am not weak, you little-! wh.. Ahahaha! Pleas- Ahaha! Please- make it stop!" She couldn't stop laughing, but why was she laughing you might ask? Well, she was ticklish. And the person who was tickling her was Venti.

"Never!" He laughed, he enjoyed this moment. Being with his best friend made him happy.

"Gah! Please— ahahah! S-STooPp!—" the girl bonked Venti's head gently.
