"(y/n)! there you are!"

you turned around to see venti, smiling. you had been missing from mondstadt for months, and he had been looking for you for all this time.

"venti..." you looked away, your expression becoming somewhat angry.

"what are you doing, dear? aren't you tired?"

"god, what are you doing here? i don't think that you were invited." you snapped at his.

"(y/n), please come back. i still love you. we can be happy together again."
"here you go again, pretending that you love me, when just beneath the surface you're convinced that you're above me. dig deep into the past. i've never been one for doing thing half-assed."

"if i'm here to save you, i'll be here forever." the blackette held his hand out to you. "just take my hand, i'll be your knight in shining armor."
you almost held your hand out, but then remembered, he left you all those years ago. "you think you're a hero? and they'll tell you you are. 'so stoic and handsome' and you've come so far!" you snarled at him.

he looked at you, regret swirling in his green eyes. "you think you're a villain, but i know you're not. under all that angst and anger is a beating heart."

what about the lonely little kids? what about their monsters who prevailed?
"you never came to save my world." you teared up, refusing to look at them.

he looked at you with pity. "i recognize that you're upset. i know i did you wrong."

"oh, you know nothing of me. trust me, please believe me. this won't stop the hurt for long." he cupped your cheeks in his hands. "we don't need to end like this. look me in the eyes-"

you glared at him, rolling your eyes. "here comes the hero complex. so, you're back at it again, twisting and manipulating every word i've said?"
"come on, you know that's not true! i'm just trying to help you. let me help you!" tears threatened to spill from his eyes.

"you are not my hero!" you yelled, tears rolling down your face. "you don't know how it felt. what else could i do with the cards that i've been dealt?"

"you are not the villain. you once held my hand." he leaned his forehead against yours, crying. he grabbed your hand. "please (y/n)... just come back. we can be happy again, just you and me. i promise i'll never leave you again."

you looked into his eyes, a wave of sadness hitting you. "venti..." you flung your arms around him, sobbing into his shoulder. "i'm sorry... i..."

he rocked you back and forth, quietly shushing you. "don't worry, my love. i'm here now."

"you... you left me... and i-"

"i know what i did was wrong, but i want to fix it. please let me fix it (y/n)." he whispered to you, his voice hoarse, as if he was scare you were going to say no.

you looked at him, then gave him a peck on the cheek. "anything for you."
