Immortal | Aether x Venti | Genshin Impact

The Sister's Offer

Venti's POV

"Alright! You can go ahead and walk now!" Barbara tells me, flashing a bright smile as she takes off all of the cords that were stuck to my body. I assume it was feeding me while I was asleep since I couldn't really eat, only a matter of time before I died without food or water.

"Thank you." I say, thanking her as I stand up from the bed, feeling my body. It feels so... weird. Like I feel so strained, light, and heavy all at the same time. Maybe I'm tired. Actually, I am so fucking exhausted. My mind, my body, my eyes, my entire being is tired from every thing that's been happening.

"Please do take care..." I hear Barbara say, having a sad look on her face. I can't really get mad at anyone at this point. It was no one's fault. Even if she did lie to me, I can't really blame her for doing so. 

"I will." I reply to her, patting her head. I guess everyone was worried about me after all. Well, most of them did come to me, crying, asking questions and giving gifts so, I'm not entirely surprised if she was worried too.

"Take care of your sister, okay?" I say, pulling away my hand. I see her eyes burst wide open as if she realized something, but then it closes slightly, making her face have the look of sadness. Knowing that someone's life is so fleeting, even if they're immortal, something can just happen out of nowhere that ends it abruptly. Knowing that, I can't help but tell everyone to value their lives and the lives of the people around them.

"...Of course." She tells me, putting her hand to her chest. I smile at her and then start leaving the room. My mind starts to wander once again, starting to contemplate on the many things that has happened.

Seriously, that's all I've been doing these past few days. Thinking about the past, thinking about what could've been, thinking about all the things that I could've done better. It was a never-ending loop that my mind was constantly in. Annoying as it is, it was even making me even more depressed. 

No one can really judge me for doing this, right? I mean, I just lost someone I loved so much, who wouldn't think at a time like this? Repeating different things just means that you're stuck in it. I really don't want to be stuck in this sad... mindset all the time but, if I remove that part of me, I'll just forget everything about Aether.

Sure, there are happy times but, we also fought, cried together, and did a lot of things over this year. But, that just means we're actually dating, we actually loved each other and each time we fought, we would make up and make a lot more happy memories. Removing all these fights, sad times removes a part of Aether that I gradually got to know with the actions he did when we fought.
