Itd been about seven hours since Xiao saw Venti.

He begun to worry more...
But, his body refused to stay awake any longer..And he passed out.

Twelve hours..

Xiao looked at Zhongli as he walked to a desk.

Soon Childe brought a new bed into the room, it showing a unconscious Venti.

"What the hell happened!?" He nearly shouted.

"The..The tumors..They just..Just.." Childe's voice cracked, he didnt wanna speak about it.

So a diffrent person spoke.
"They moved in a way. Another formed near a spot, and it pushed against his heart, and it made it bleed, thats why he coughed on blood. We removed that tumor, but the others in his lungs, we cant get to."

Xiao nods, "Are you a patient here?" She asked.

He nods, "I had to stay the night.."

She nods, "You shouldn't drive yet.
The roads are in bad shape. We wouldn't want you brought back because of an accident. We can get you a separate room if you wish."

"Im fine here.." He mumbled.

They nod.

Xiao looks at Zhongli and Childe as they spoke.

Zhongli hugged Childe, he couldnt see what they were saying.

He noticed a look on their faces. It was pure terror, fear, and anxiety. Zhongli was holding Childes face, talking, 

The two vanished into a room.
He looked at Venti, as his body laid still. A machine helping him breath once again.

Xiao felt bad, if he hadnt let Venti go...

Maybe if hed convinced him hed be okay..

He shook his head..

March 25th

Itd been a few weeks, the first week the snow was melted enough for Xiao to get out of the hospital, and drive home  Venti had awakened in the second week, but he didnt speak. He seemed to be thinking. But Xiao didn't know.

Zhongli walked into Venti's room, sighing at the boy. Venti lay on his side, silent.

"Venti." Zhongli spoke.

Silence.

"Venti..Please.." Zhongli sat on the chair.
"It took nurses..Three minutes to notice me on the ground. I..I laid there choking..I just...I dont know..Uhm..Are you okay?" Venti sat up, "The trains..I know you had it rough." He spoke.

Zhongli smiled softly, "Im okay. It was rough. We had..alot of DOA's. More than i expected, over seventy DOA's. It was a hell hole. But, thank you. For staying away... Do you want to go out with me and Ajax? I wanna get you out for a while, and since i am your doctor, im allowed to. Me and Ajax are going to this place for dinner. But, if not, thats okay."

Venti eyes widened, "Youre..letting me out..?" He whispered.

"Yes..For a bit. Ill be there, to help you incase something happens." He said.

"Hmm...Okay." Venti smiled softly, his eyes getting teary.

"In an hour, we'll leave, that's when we get off. So, get dressed, nothing fancy, unless you wanna."

Venti nods, smiling gently..

Venti changed into a simple outfit, a pair of jeans with a blue sweater.
He braided his hair into the twin braids, examining himself in the mirror.

He looked...Okay.

He smiles softly, sitting on the chair.

After about ten minutes, Zhongli and Childe walked in...

~

They arrived at the restaurant, it being not too crowded, good enough so Venti wouldn't get overwhelmed.

They were led to a table, Zhongli and Venti's arms looped together.

He helped the boy sit, and sat near him, Childe next to Zhongli, humming softly, "You look great, by the way, Venti." Childe picked up a menu, passing it to Venti.


He smiled softly, nodding gently, "Thank you."

"Of course." Childe spoke, patting Zhongli's thigh gently, smiling at Venti..
