A/N: Please accept my apologies for being too lazy to make POVs with others. Starting today, I think I will focus more on the main ship, Raiden and Miko. But I would try my best to create other people's points of view. All of the ships will be sailed by me lol. If you have any requests, please leave them in the comments section! Let's get started!


Ei's POV:

Hu Tao returned, blushing and smiling, and giving Miko a thumbs up. They must have planned this from the beginning. "The plan worked, huh?" I asked. Miko laughed, proud of her successful plan. Yanfei returned, blushing. I'm literally surrounded by love birds.

"Why are you dozing off, Ei?" Zhongli inquired. "Nothing," I said. "I see, Ayaka informed me about your situation; how are you doing?" he said. "Let's not discuss it now; I'll tell you about it later when we're alone," I said.

"Talk about what?" Miko asked. Was she paying attention? "It's nothing, Miko," he chuckled. "Hmm, I'm more intrigued now," Miko chuckled. "Oh, don't be, it'll only waste your time," Zhongli laughed.

I suppose I should thank him later for saving me. The two lovebirds arrived, drenched in sweat. "What happened, Venti?" I inquired.

"D-dogs were chasing us earlier," Venti said as he gasped for air. Itto gave them water, and they all sat down. We're in the living room, and Miko is preparing to watch a movie. Miko only smirked at me when I inquired what the movie was about. Now I have to be cautious about the movie. It may just be some... Adult-oriented content.

*

The film began a while ago, and.... I was right. This is an adult film. I looked around and saw that they were all.... red. I overheard Ayaka speaking to Lumine in hushed tones.

"W-what is this m-movie? It's.... strange," she said. Lumine's only response was a chuckle. She seemed to be enjoying the film. Hu Tao is also enjoying the film, but the girl next to her is unable to watch due to embarrassment. Venti and Itto are also having a good time, while Gorou is shutting his eyes. Zhongli was merely keeping a poker face. Miko.... She's liking it as well.

A/N: If you know the Handmaiden movie, well, you are one naughty person. If you don't, It's best that you not watch it and just keep your innocence. HAHAHAHAHA

"What are you trying to do, Miko?" I whispered to her. "Heating up the lovebirds," she giggled. H-heating up? What does she mean by that? I gave her a confused look and she just giggled. 

The scene right now in the movie is... they are doing it. So, I decided to just look around, and a picture frame.... caught my eye. 

It was a photo of Miko as a child, and it seemed familiar to me. It appears that... I know that picture and the place where it was taken. The photograph is messy; it looks like it was taken by a child. My thoughts flashed back to a memory.

The memory was... I was at the park with a girl who was crying and... injured. Her knee was bruised. It was bleeding, and she was crying uncontrollably. I was there, attempting to calm the girl down and bandage up the wound on her knee.

The memory was hazy and ended abruptly, and I was met by a headache; I groaned as a result, and Miko noticed. "Are you all OK, Ei?" she inquired. "I-I'm alright; I just need water," I said as I made my way to their kitchen. This headache isn't going away; it's making me weak, and my knees are trembling. Who was the girl? I... I can't seem to recall her, and I really want to. My headache worsened, causing me to groan once again.

"Ei, you're not fine; I have headache medicine here; take this," Miko said as she handed me the medicine, which I immediately swallowed. "Slow down, sweetie, you could choke," she said, chuckling. When she called me "sweetie," I choked even more.

"I-i just told you to slow down, and you already choked," she patted my back. "I-I'm sorry," I said. "Are you sure you're okay now?" she said. "I will lend you my room and you can rest there." "N-no, I'm alright; I already drank medicine, so I'll be fine later," I said. We should return to the others since they could suspect something.

"Alright, but tell me right away if you don't feel fine," she added as she took me back to the room. When the others inquired what had occurred, Miko explained, and we sat down to continue watching.

Miko's POV:

She is working hard not to blush. Pft. What a cutie. But I'm worried about her. She'd had a headache out of nowhere. She had been perfectly well before. Why am I so concerned about her? Ei, of course, your close friend. Yes, a friend, it's natural for a friend to be concerned about her friend. Why am I overthinking?

*

She fell asleep! I'm serious, she dozed out. Is she really okay? Why does she appear to be so tired? "Take her to your room, she needs to rest," Zhongli said quietly. I agreed to him and carried her in a bridal style, don't judge me, I'm strong too, you know.

She is currently sleeping like a baby on my bed. I'm not going to lie: I like her sleeping look... She looks like a baby. Her mole... seems to be familiar. It's as if I know someone has a mole in that place as well, but I can't remember who. I should ask my mother whether I had any childhood friends back then. This is all quite bizarre. It's like... It's strange since I'm used to Ei being with me, and I have a familiar feeling with her. 

I wonder who you really are, Ei.


A/N:

I've chosen to include some angst in this story. It's boring if all you do is flirt and be happy. Is this a sadistic remark? LMAO. Anyway, have fun with this chapter! The fun parts are just getting started!
