Venti
Ahh my dear Xiao, what have I done? I stroked his greenish blue hair, so soft. He deserves a lot better than you, you know it Venti. He doesn't need a drunken bastard ruining his life. I'm so selfish, staying with him after all this for my own personal well being. I'll just be better, it won't be too much of a struggle, at least I'm hoping it won't be. How hard could it be? I sucked my breath and tried to get off the bed without waking Xiao. He was so peaceful in his sleep, he looked so blissful. I wonder how disgusted he'd be if he'd fallen asleep on top of you. Shut up. I carefully got up, he would be disgusted, but I can change that! I'll need a gift, then I'll discuss ways to be a good boyfriend with Xiao. I've got this. Barbatos help me.

Xiao
I woke up to see myself alone, the sun flashed against my face, stupid sun. The room looked gorgeous however, the light hitting the white fluffy bed sheets, I could stay here forever if it wasn't for the dumb sun waking me up. Ventis gone. Where is he? Is he drinking? Is he safe? Has he left me? Worrying about such things, I've become so pathetic lately. I need to get ready.

I fixed myself up a bit and heard the door swing open. If it's one of those men from downstairs- "Xiaoooo I'm back, you didn't leave did ya?" ugh. This is worse, it's Venti. "Hi. Where did you go?" I asked. "Just out, ive brought you something! Ive made your personal favorite dish along with some other things I believe you'll enjoy, and a bouquet of xingins!" He handed me the flowers. I'm not sure how I'm meant to react, the flowers are gorgeous and all but, is this supposed to be his way of apologizing? Don't be a brat Xiao, he's trying, more then most would do at least. I leaned against the window and let my face soften. "Venti, please come here." I said calmly. "What's up?" I kissed him softly and held his hands. He fluffed up my hair and dragged me to the bed, to cuddle of course.

"Xiao?" Venti muttered, burying his head in a pillow for a quick second. "Yeah?"
"Um, I know I've said this before but I swear I'll slowly stop drinking or at least not be this bad, please don't give up on me, I know with your karmic debt it must be very hard for you and I certainly haven't made things easier but I was hoping you'd be willing to stay in Mondstat with me for a little longer. Please, give the matter some thought." He sighed and hid his face. "Venti, if what you say is true I will stay with you for as long as u need." I held him close to my chest. "Ehe, we should get matching shorts." he whispered. "No." "I'm getting us matching shorts."
