I'm Venti, I am a twenty-two years old boy who often works in a cafe - though the cafe is very far from my house, I still manage to go there without needing to ride.

I regret working overtime last night because now I am rushing to go home just to see the result of my favorite show. My feet are tired. But I still got more to run, not to mention that time is also ticking.

Eula is the name of Miss Philippines this year, from what I heard. She has blue hair and purple - with gold - eyes. I hope she wins this.

A few more minutes and they will finally announce who wins... It's not like I can't watch it again on a video, it's just that I want to see it with my own eyes.

"Ugh! Fuck. Why did I even agree to do over-time?"

-

The boy's shoes split in half, causing his feet to have several wounds. He clicks his tongue as he removes both of his shoes and started running. 5 more minutes and it will be announced... He had no other choice other than...

Knock knock.

He knocks, more like a hit. No one answered the door so he knocked one again - harsher this time. And thank God, it finally opened.

It revealed a very... Very attractive boy. He had this golden eyes and teal strip on his hair. Their eyes locked for a moment before Venti lets his self inside of the house without permission. "Oi, what are you doing? Who are you?" the boy followed him inside as Venti grabbed the remote.

This person seemed to be playing a game... Not that Venti cares. He unplugs the source of game and quickly clicks "1" on the remote. "Why did you turn off my game?! I'm gonna call the cops if you don't get out"

Instead of panicking, Venti just focused on the screen. Grabbing his knees as he hopes that Eula would win the crown.

Miss Universe...

2022

Is...

Venti's eyes got more focused on the tv as his grip on his knees got stronger. Biting his lip while his mind prays that Eula would win.

...

Venti slapped his legs, a sign of impatience. "So slow! Just say it! Man, I'm sorry okay? I just really need to watch this-"

Philippines!

"AHHHHH!" Venti jumped from the couch and started jumping happily. Swaying his arms in the air as he screams inside of the man's house. He went to hug the stranger while still jumping - out of happiness.

The boy, of course, felt uncomfortable and annoyed that his game was ruined just because a stranger wanted to see the winner of this shit show. Though he was proud that the Philippines won since it's still his country.

"Philippines won!!"

"I know. I'm not deaf" Venti kept jumping, his arms wrapped around the boy's neck. "Are you not gonna let go of me?" He said coldly as Venti quickly gets off of him, "sorry! Do I stink?" He laughs.

Xiao did not answer. He knows for a fact that this braided boy wasn't stinky or what. He actually smelled really good, he smells like home.

Venti sat on the couch again seeing how Eula got crowned. She's really gorgeous, she deserves the win. "Yaaass! Go get it queen!" Venti cheered before getting out his phone to take a picture of the tv and post it in his Ig story.

Aether: wow Venti bought new tv

Kaeya: do you rly think that fur venti can buy a tv 🙄

Venti: no, this is not my house

Kaeya: HA?

Aether: what? 😭

Venti: I just knocked on his door randomly 😭 I feel like they'll call the cops for trespassing 😭😭

Kaeya: YOU DUMB BITCH

Aether: OMG VENTI WE CANT DEFEND YOU THIS TIME

Venti: I KNOW, THATS WHY IM NERVOUS 😭

Aether: SAY SORRY TO HIM

Venti: wait

"Hey... Sorry! Don't call the cops... Heh" he fake cried while looking at the boy, "What you did was wrong so you have to pay for it, go home and take a rest for now. You'll see what happens soon"

Ah... Venti gets out of the house, pouting. He looked at his shoes again. It really is broken. He sat there for a while as he admires his dirty feet. "What am I going to do now..? My shoes are broken. I won't be able to go to work without it... And that guy, he's so grumpy, all I wanted was to watch Miss Uni..." He pouted again as he buries his face on his knees.

Looking at the ground, he heard a slapping noise. In front of his eyes, he saw a pair of slippers - waiting to be used. He looked up and saw the boy earlier walking away. "What's this for?"

"For your feet, what else"

"Thank you! You're actually nice... I'm really sorry!" the boy ignored him and continued walking away anyway.

He wore the slipper. This kind of footwear isn't the best for work but it is allowed anyway. He once again said thank you before leaving and going home.

-

"I hope he'll like this..." He closed the Tupperware before grabbing his tiny bag and going out of his house again for work. He left the plastic with the food inside in front of the boy's doorstep and knocked.

After knocking, he quickly left so he wouldn't be late for this work. Not so long ago, the door opened. Revealing the boy from yesterday. He picked up the unknown plastic and went inside.

"Who's this from..." He saw that there was also a paper inside the plastic,

Hi man!

This is Venti, from yesterday. I really am sorry for going in your house like that yesterday without asking for your permission... And thank you for the slippers! I won't be able to go to work without this. Don't worry, I'll pay you back :)

"So Venti is his name... Cute" he smiled as he folds the paper and threw it somewhere, looking at the food. It looks good. He took a spoon and dug in.

Wow

His eyes glowed as he eats the scrambled eggs with fried rice. After he finished eating, he quickly grabbed a pen and paper and wrote something on it.

This is Xiao.

Uh, thanks for the food. Just so you know. You are still not forgiven for what you've done. But if you leave me breakfast every day maybe I'll consider forgiving you...

-

It's currently twelve in the morning when Venti got back to their neighborhood. He took a peek at the boy's doorstep first to see if the boy accepted the food he cooked just for him. He saw that the Tupperware was empty – meaning he ate it.

There was also a new paper in it.

"Xiao, huh? That name fits you..." He chuckled before leaving.

-

"Do I still meet Venti until these days? Yes. Why? Because now we are a married couple and he always clings to me like I would die tomorrow" he stares at the boy beside him, sleeping in his arms. "I can hear you Xiao..."

"Just keep sleeping" Xiao pats his head as he smiles.

D end :D
