Their Song ⱽᵉⁿᵗⁱ ˣ ᴿᵉᵃᵈᵉʳ

*°*°• Chapter 7•°*°*

Shocked 

There wasn't very many people at Angel's Share when we arrived, only a few tables on the first floor were occupied with customers. Walking up the stairs to the second floor of the tavern, we decided to sit in the far back, where if anyone came up, we'd be far enough from them.I had some more questions i wanted to ask Venti, but i'd let him relax and enjoy his dandelion wine first.

A couple of people joined us upstairs, but they scattered around to sit in the remaining tables. While the others hand meaningless conversations, a red haired man came walking up the stairs to see who was sitting on the second floor.

"Have you come to play us a few Songs?" he asked Venti while approaching our table.

"Not today Diluc, I have some important things I have to do first" Venti replied while taking the last sip of his drink. Diluc seemed a little aggravated with his response.

"Well if the matters are so important, I don't understand why you're wasting time drinking" And with that he stormed back down the stairs and out of the tavern.

"He doesn't seem like a pleasant person"

"That's Diluc, don't mind him, he owns this tavern. Well he actually owns the Dawn Winery. He asks me to entertain the customers with my music sometimes. Which i don't mind doing, since i really love playing for others, but his temper can be quite annoying" Venti sighed.

I guess it would be pretty hard to enjoy your time if you're always expected to entertain, even if it was something you enjoyed doing. Maybe it would be best to ask my questions later, he seems to need a moment of peace.

Night fell upon Mondstadt as we passed through the front gate. The sky was filled with so many glittering stars, it seemed the sky would would collapse with weight of all of stars. The night sky was always a picture i'd admired.

The empty space above, didn't look so empty with all of the stars. And neither did the open spot next me, I have a really good friend by my side.  Which felt really nice, i'd finally have someone to share my time with, I wouldn't be alone anymore. Even though, we haven't known each other for long, i feel that we will continue to keep each other company.

While i was in my own fantasy, i hadn't realized i was standing still. When i'd finally returned back to the real world, Venti was patiently waiting for me by the wall of the bridge.  He truly was a special person, i guess he was also fascinated by the night sky, or he was also lost in his own world. I wonder what he's thinking about.

It was getting to be really late, my mom would be worried if I didn't come home soon. But I didn't want to disturb him, so I stood beside him and also waiting until he returned back to earth.

Venti seemed a little upset when returned to his head and noticed me beside him. I hoped I hadn't bothered him.

"Are you ok?" I couldn't act like i didn't see the torment in his eyes.

"Don't worry about me traveller, just a few memories. But we should get going, I wouldn't want to worry your mother anymore than she probably is" he changed the subject.

I guess he wasn't comfortable sharing, i respected his wishes and pushed the feeling of wanting to comfort him to the back of my mind. Though it wasn't completely gone, it was easier to ignore this way.

"You're right, are we still training tomorrow?" I asked, i needed to know when would be best for me to wake up.

"Of course y/n" he replied picking me up again and sending us in the sky towards my house. I really enjoyed the sensation whenever we were up here. Though i liked being up here with him, it didn't take long for us to land in the back of my house, where he picked me up this afternoon.

"Goodnight, Traveller" he spoke while turning around to leave. My body sprang into motion before i could stop myself, i wrapped my arms around him in a warm embrace. my face became really red as i acknowledged what just happened. 

"Goodnight" I replied while sprinting inside my home, closing the door and sinking to the ground. Sitting there for a while, i eventually stood up and walked to my room. I was expecting to see my mother in the living room, but when i'd opened my bedroom door, there was a note for me.  It seems as though she had some errands in liyue to take care of.  She wouldn't be home for a couple of weeks, that really sucked, but i could most likely survive on my own.

Morning came faster than i'd expected, it felt like just seconds past that i'd fallen asleep. I don't even remember what i was dreaming about. Though trying to think about it, brought back the memories of the night before. It was a little embarrassing, i didn't even look at Venti before i ran off last night. I wonder what he thought about last night, i hope he wasn't bothered by it. 

Skipping breakfast, i quickly got dressed and packed for another day of training. Venti should be here any minute now and i didn't want to keep him waiting, but as i walked behind my house, i could see he was already waiting. 

"Sorry Venti, have you been waiting long?" Venti looked over at me when he heard my voice. I could see a small smile form on his face. He was leaning against a tree at the beginning of the paths i used to take. 

"Don't worry about it y/n, I got here 2 minutes ago." straightening up from his position of relaxation, he took a few steps forward, he hugged me and rested his head on my shoulder.
