Xiao's pov

School is over. Already. I'm currently leaning on the wall infront of my sister's classroom.

She always makes me wait, like this morning and now.

I just hope she's not  that one kid who asks for homework after school, because that sucks.

People would see me as 'The annoying teacher's pet's little brother'. And trust me, that's not a pleasant experience.

I think I'm going to fall asleep. What's taking Ganyu so long?

I was staring off until I saw Venti outside.

So I decided to go over to him.

This might sound weird, but it would be nice to be friends with him. He's kinda cute, and he doesn't seem so bad.

"Venti. Where are you off to?"

He spun his head around, surprised.

"Oh? Oh! Xiao! Hi! Uh.. I was just headed home. You?"

Oh, so he's going home. I really want to go with him though..

Oh well, ditch Ganyu.

"I.. was also headed home."

His eyes sparkled up.

"What direction is your house??"

"What about you?"

"I just need to go out from the front gates of the school."

"Me too. Wanna... Go together..?"

His eyes sparked up way more than before. Brighter than my future, probably.

"Of course!!"

Venti's pov

So his house is the same direction as mine, AND HE WANTS TO GO WITH ME!

I knew it! No one can resist my charm.

"C'mon. Let's go."

"Mhm!"

We walked along the road, silently. But it's that comfortable kind of silence. I liked it.

But I have to break it.

"Where's your sister? Didn't you wait for her in the morning? Or do you two go home separately?"

"Oh, uhm.. the thing is, I'm supposed to wait for her but I simply ditched her. I'm sick of waiting for her y'know?"

I mouthed a small 'oh' and turned away.

And we continued walking silently.

I moved closer and closer towards him. I don't know why, but I guess my body is honest.

I think I really like him, but I don't think it'll be ok to fall in love with a mortal. He'll leave me one day even if we get together.

And I don't want that.

Even if I wanted to give him immortality, it'll be selfish and the other gods wouldn't like it AT ALL.

They'd despise me after that.. not saying that they don't already.

I atleast want to be close friends, like besties or something?

So I hugged him out of nowhere.

Wait.

What?

Why'd I do that??

I didn't want to let go though. I didn't want to leave his side.

He hugged me back, and whispered.

"Are.. you alright?"

I hugged him tighter.

"Yeah.."

I sighed and let him go. He had this worried face.

"I'm fine. Don't worry. I just wanted to hug you out of nowhere, since we're friends, right..?"

I smiled.

His expression turned soft.

"Yeah."
