Meanwhile, in Mondstadt...

This chapter is about Bennett and Razors relationship but doesn't play a key part in the story so feel free to skip if you don't like this ship :)

------------------------------------------------------

Bennett POV:

During the holidays I had been helping out around Mondstadt, but about 3 days in the adventures guild (a charity I signed up for) havent had any new commissions, probably because everyone is at home with their families and the only actual commissions are for adults and actual police to handle as they are, as Katheryne put it, too mature for me,

So I decided to go to Wolvendom and find Razor, I cant imagine he was doing much since Wolvendom was litterally just a forest, Razor actually lives in Mondstadt but he spent most of his time in Wolvendom or with me,

I have known Razor for a long time, we first met at the Foster home in springvale and grew up there together but then when I was around 9, captain kaeya came to adopt me, he took me back to mondstat and trained me to use a sword just like him! Although I was sad about leaving Razor I still got to see him most days,

Razor was adopted by a librarian named Lisa about 2 years ago and now we both lived in Mondstadt!

When I arrived in Wolvendom I went to the place I knew he would be, there was a little clearing he liked to sit in, it had a mini cave that was more like a little shelter and he loved sitting in there on rainy or snowy days, like today,

"Razor?" I called out as I walked into the clearing,

"Benny, come to shelter!" He demanded as soon as he heard my voice,

I went over to the shelter to see the gray haired boy sitting cross legged under the shelter,

I sat next to him and he pointed out of the cave,

"What is it?" I asked,

"It snow, snow cold, Razor will keep Benny warm!" He smiled determinedly, making me blush a little, he then pulled me towards him so that his arms were around me,

"Uh, Razor, don't you think this is a little close?" I asked nervously, I knew full well Razor didn't like touch so I needed to make sure he was ok with... whatever was going on here...

"No, Benny needs to stay warm!" He then proceeded to climb onto my lap and wrap around me like a sloth,

"Also... Razor cold... so.. can Benny... hug back?" He whispered, now timid, this was unusual for Razor but I did as he asked and wrapped my arms around him,

He nuzzled his face into my shoulder, probably still trying to stay warm, and I could feel his heartbeat, I'm so glad I taught him what hugs were.

Soon the snow got heavier and Razor began to shiver,

"Razor, it's getting really cold, maybe we should go back to Mondstadt now." I suggested,

The only response I got was an 'mhm' sound, I waited for a little bit but Razor showed no signs of moving so I just stood up with him still wrapped around me,

I pulled my jacket around him aswell to try and keep him as warm as possible,

I walked back towards Mondstadt and when we got to the bridge Razor loosened his grip and climbed down,

"I walk now." He stated and then we both walked across the bridge and to my house,

My house was the best option since Lisa was going to be home but kaeya and all the knights were going to be out doing... whatever knights do at Christmas,
