There was no way

Xiao was in love with Venti?!
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Flashback stops e
"Sorry Diluc, I'll take Venti." Xiao carried Venti,
"Sure, see you soon" Diluc waved Xiao goodbye as Xiao took Venti and headed home. Xiao threw Venti at the bed and Xiao decided to sleep on the couch, he was used to sleeping there. Xiao couldn't sleep. That was really annoying. He decided to listen to music to make him sleep and soon, he slept.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"It's all your fault Xiao, I hate you! If it weren't for you, she, she wouldn't have died..."
Xiao woke up, startled. Not again, he was getting that dream again. No, that was in the past, she can't be alive, could she? Xiao sighed and slept again.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Morning Xiaoty!"
"Venti, I told you not to call me that!" Xiao snarled.
"Awwie why not? Cause we're in the public?"
"Shut up. We're going to be late."
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Hi there."
Xiao and Venti waved at Zhongli, he was Venti's childhood friend and Xiao's most trusted friend.
"Have a seat, Childe and Hu Tao will be here in a few minutes."
"Ayo Zhongli where we going later?" Venti drank his coffee
"Hi hi hi! Hope we're not late!"
"Hello Ganyu, hi Childe"
"Stop acting like you're not late, you're 15 minutes late!" Xiao hissed.
"come on! It's not a big deal Alright, where's the drink I asked for?" Childe sat down.
"I drank it." Venti smiled.
"What?"
"I drank it"
"Do you have a death wish?"
Childe continued to chase Venti.
After the great chase, Diluc, Kaeya and Albedo arrived.
"Let's go to the arcade!" Kaeya suggested
"Sure I'm gon cause some chaos" Childe said.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Albedo! That's not how you're supposed to play! You shoot the zombies! Not me!" Kaeya yelled,
"sorry" Albedo apologized in a totally not sarcastic manner
GAME OVER PLAYER 2 LOSES
"What?! I lost? In what way?" Kaeya shouted.

"Childe, get me that keychain" Zhongli said
"Zhongli Xiangsheng, you have like, a thousand of those." Childe replied
"Did I stutter?"
"Okay, I'll get you it"
"Good"

"Xiaoty! Let's get a picture together!" Venti pointed at the photo booth
"Okay" Xiao and Venti went in and took multiple pictures.
"I'll definitely cherish this!" Venti smiled.
"Me too"
That smile, it was too familiar.

"Alrighty guys, its late now, let's head home, bye!" Kaeya waved.
"Bye! Make sure you head home safe!" Ganyu waved.

It was one of the best days that Xiao ever experienced.

Tomorrow would be a good day. And oh boy was Xiao wrong.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The next day,
"Yeah! We're not late! For once!" Venti smiled
"Venti. You're almost late, there's 1 minute left before class starts." The teacher reminded him.
Venti and Xiao sat in their seats and talked.
"Alright students, we have a new student coming to class. Please be friends with her."

Emerald eyes

Xiao was shocked
