May I, My Dear? | Venti X Reader

Chapter ??

It was a beautiful sunset, and I thought that it would be romantic to confess at this time. I was finally going to tell him. I turned the corner slowly, thinking over how I would confess to him. Just then, I saw another woman doing just what I had planned to do. She was telling him about her feelings to his music, and to him as well. My chest felt heavy, and I could sense my anxiety kicking in. Everything was getting fuzzy. 

"I already have someone that I like, and I was planning to ask them eventually. I appreciate your kind words and the courage it must have taken to tell me." Venti replied, politely turning her down. I felt a sudden strong urge to cry, so I managed to hold it in long enough to run to an empty area. I burst out into tears on the cliff behind the cathedral. I tried to control the sound so it wasn't loud enough to alert anyone, which I almost failed to do so. My heart was pounding and I couldn't hear anything outside of my own sounds. I wanted to do my best to be someone he would like, and when I was ready I would ask him. But it was too late now. 

"What good would it do if he already liked someone else? He did seem distant but I just assumed it was something that happened on his end. I never could have imagined that it would be because he wanted to be with someone else.." At some point, my thoughts began to slip out if my mouth. My anxiety began to control my thoughts. "I did everything to match your tastes so that you would like me, and look how that turned out!" I cried out, feeling the sobbing get harder and harder. My voice was getting hoarse and hurting from the crying, and my face was basically soaked with the tears that streamed down my face. I could only feel a mix of anger, regret, and sadness. Suddenly a bright light appeared above me and down floated a pyro vision. I stared at it as the sobbing continued. My heart ached and I couldn't even control my emotions anymore. I received a pyro vision due to how I worked so hard to change the way I was and did everything for him. My ambition was Venti. I held the vision like it was the only thing I had left. It came in the wrong time, but it was a precious relic nonetheless.. My tears still didn't stop, and it was so loud that I didn't hear someone call out to me before crashing into me and sending me off the cliff into the water below. 

"I'm sorry Venti.." I said quietly before crashing into the waves of the lake below. It all went black.

When I came to, I was on the shore by Wolvendom. I coughed out some water and rubbed my eyes as I sat up. I hesitated for a moment before beginning to frantically search for my newly acquired vision. Suddenly, I felt a small hand on my shoulder. I turn to see a young girl with a large backpack and a puffy red dress. She had elf-like ears, and blonde hair that was in short, small pigtails.

 "Klee is really sorry.. she was running from master Jean!" She said, looking worried. 
"Are you looking for this?" She handed me my vision. 

"Thanks." I let out a sigh of relief.  "Why were you running?" I asked, tilting my head slightly, some hair strands I sorted out falling over my eyes. 

"Welllll... Klee blew up some of her bombs by accident.." she said, fidgeting with her fingers. 

"That would probably do it." I chuckled slightly. I guess I forgot about what had happened earlier. Well, that was behind me. I was in a forest in the dark with a little girl named Klee, and this was my main priority.

 "Are you new to Mondstadt, big sis? I can help you get back!" She exclaimed, taking my hand and helping me up with all her might. Klee took my hand and pulled me towards a path in the forest. It took me a minute to realize, but she had a pyro vision too. I would think we would both be safe considering we BOTH have visions, but she's so young, and plus I just received mine. "Big sis.. why were you crying? You seemed so sad.." She asked. I stopped for a moment and hesitated to whether I was both ready to talk about it and to tell someone.
