"Your awake?!" I whisper-shout to him and he nods. "Sorry, i just didn't want you to seem like this was weird." He apologizes and I feel my face warm up. "I feel so embarrassed." I facepalm. "It's fine, I enjoyed it." He smiles at me.  "Is what you true? Your jealous of me? And how is that?" He flicks my forehead. "Uh! Your skin and hair are so soft! Like clouds!" I smile in the feeling of his hair, almost like I was still touching it... I look over at my hand and I was still touching his hair. "Oops!" I stop touching his hair like a weirdo. After all I did oddly excessively touch his hair a while ago. "No, it's fine. I don't mind it, really." He nods. I shake my head again, not wanting him to see me as weird. "So, you remember our past together?" He smiles and I think about it more. I did remember when we met. Which was pretty good!  "I didn't even realize it!" I smile and he nods. "Indeed it is." He sits up, now about the same height as me.
"So, how's your burn now?" He asks me, taking off the towel and slightly caressing my face. "It doesn't hurt, but if I make any more expressive faces then it starts to scrunch together, which makes my face hurt." I tell him, as he puts  my hair behind my ear. "Your burn doesn't look too bad right now. If only you had a different vision." He sighs, realizing what he said, he apologizes. "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you." I slightly smile and nods my head. "Your fine." I place my hands in my pocket and feel the vision I've had during the day. The vision was now glowing, full of its power, and no longer masterless. "How did you.." Kazuha grabs the vision from my hands and looks at it closely. He hands it back to me, confused but happy. "This is so.. surprising. But why did it regain its power? Too bad it's the same element you already have." I stare at the vision, then I make a pyro butterfly in my hand without blowing up my face.
"I did it!" I point to my hand and Kazuha smiles a bit. "Alright, but we should see if you can also revive my friend Tomo's vision." Kazuha and I walk to our room together and he picks something up from a box he had in a corner, hidden away. He shows me a electro vision, dull, and masterless. I place my hands on it and it slowly begins regaining it's power. The process was very slow, which was why it took almost a whole day for it to regain it's power. "This is still so crazy! Why are you able to make the vision go back to normal?" He sits down on the bed and props up his head with the palm of his hand.
"It's crazy how the vision decree people haven't tried to find my vision..s." I look at the Mondstadt and Inazuma pyro visions I now owned. "This is still crazy." I think about the possible ways why I was able to do this.. then it hit me. 'It's because of Zhongli. I'm immortal and it's possible another side effect was being able to reawaken masterless visions.' I thought to myself, which made the guilt for only telling Thoma that I was immortal skyrocket. 'I should tell him.' I try to mentally prepare myself to tell him before Kazuha begins to speak.
"Do you have an idea why this is happening? You seem to be deep in thought." Kazuha looks at me. "Oh.. well." I pick at my fingers before deciding to just tell him.
"I'm sorry I've hidden this from you, but I'm.." Kazuha tilts his head to the right before I say the words "immortal." Kazuha's eyes widen before he nods, understanding why I hid it from him. He reaches his hands out to me and embraces me. "I'm sorry.. again I'm so so sorry." I hug him tighter and he nods his head. "It's ok.. It's ok." He reassured me before I stop hugging him. I look out the window and see how dark it is outside.
"We should sleep. Sorry for making you uncomfortable Kazu." I sigh and grab my clothing from the dresser and I leave for the bathroom. I strip down and get dressed in some comfortable pajamas before I knock on the door to my room. "Are you dressed?" I ask him. "Yup." He replies and I walk into the room, but him and Thoma seem to share the same though of sleepwear because I spot him taking off his shirt as well. I turn around to look at the other side of the room. "I thought you said you were don't getting dressed!" I frown. "I am. I sleep with no shirt, I'll get too sweaty if I keep my shirt on." I hear him
Climb into the bed. My imagination was very.. weird so the only image I had in my head was of a shirtless Kazuha. I groan as I feel my face get warmer and I get into the bed. "Oh, sorry if I mumble, sweat, or grab your pillow as I sleep." He says to me, which is muffled due to the blanket. "Oh, that's fine. I'm used to people talking as a sleep, moving in the same bed as I sleep, and sweat." I nod my head. "Hm? Really?" He turns to look at me, so both faces are looking at each other. "Well, when I was a kid I used to hear my parents argue. Or my dad  yelling at my brothers. I feel my bed moving a lot because of the floor vibrating due to.." I stop talking. "And I'm used to sweat because sometimes I have nightmares, though I don't wake others when I wake up with them." I shrug my shoulders and Kazuha nods. I turn off the light and say goodnight to Kazuha. "Goodnight Kazu." I smile at him, though because of how dark the room was, I don't think he saw it.  "Goodnight y/n" Kazuha moves around a little before relaxing a bit. I close my eyes and try to sleep., though the thought of being immortal was stuck in my head. I shake my head and open my eyes, then I look at Kazuha. I could see pretty well in the dark, so I could see how peaceful he looked. 'Would he know if I did this..' I began to move my hand towards his face before I swiftly grabbed ahold of my hand and place it back to my torso.
'No y/n that's weird!' I smack myself in the face before getting into a comfortable position. I'm finally able to fall asleep, though tonight, instead of a dream... I get a nightmare.

Y/n's dream:

My little brother watches as my dad scolds me due to not passing my training quiz. "YOU MISTAKE! I LET YOU GROW UP HERE, TAKE CARE OF YOU, SPENT MONEY AND TIME ON YOU, JUST FOR YOU TO FAIL YOUR TRAINING QUIZ!?" My dad yells at me and lands a harsh slap to my face, making my eyes begin to tear up. The right side of my face burns up, and I look at my little brother who doesn't care. I begin to cry, realizing nobody cares about me. My dad slaps me again on the same side of my face. "LOOK AT ME WHEN IM TALKING TO YOU!" I shakily look over at him and he continues to scold me for something I can't control. 'I can't control how quickly I learn..' I begin to wipe away my tears and try to put on a poker face, due to the amount of pain the right side of my face had gone through it didn't hurt anymore. It was numb at this point. "NOT TO MENTION HOW SLOW AND OVERWEIGHT YOU ARE!" My eyes widen as I hear him talk about how big a child is. I try to open my mouth to speak but my dad starts up his vision in one of his hands. "What we're you going to say?!" He threatens me. I instantly shut up as he continues to abuse me.. My dad throws a punch as my face and that's when I wake up in a cold sweat. I see Kazuha, hugging into my torso, as well as my pillow taken away. I frown and look over at Kazuha, not noticing how close he was to my face, and our faces are almost touching. I feel his slow breathing on my face and I slowly turn away from him to look at the ceiling. I feel how warm my face is an I wipe for forehead, getting off the sweat I hadn't taken off.
"Y/n.." I hear Kazuha mumble. I look over at him again and just see that he's sleep talking. "Where are you?" He moves around a bit, now making his face nudged in my shoulder and neck area. I chuckle a bit before I feel Kazuha hold onto me tighter. "Here you.. are." Kazuha then jolts awake and sits up. "Y/n?" He looks down at me. "Hm?" I look towards him and sit up. "I'm sorry.. I took your pillow and I was invading your personal space." He apologizes. "It's fine. It reminds me that I have somebody to count on." I grin at him as he gets back into a normal sleeping position, though I know about an hour later he somehow makes his way back to my torso and hugs onto it. I groan, realizing how much time passed by looking at the clock. It was about 3:26 am at the moment. I got maybe 4 hours of sleep
So far. "I need to sleep." I whisper to myself, leaning my head on top of Kazuha's. I somehow manage to get back to sleep due to the feeling of somebody i knew being next to me.

- in the morning -

I wake up to Kazuha shaking me. "Heyy. Y/n? It's time to wake up." He smiles at me even when I'm 'asleep.' I open my eyes and sit up, seeing that Kazuha still hasn't changed yet. I can't help but seem to look down instead of up at his face. I then force myself to turn around due to privacy reasons. "I'm so sorry." I breathe in and out slowly. He laughs a bit before I hear drawers open and close. Then he walks out the room, leaving me to get dressed. I grab a change of clothes, trying to figure out which clothing was Beidou's and Kazuha's was hard. I decided to grab the pair of long shorts (NOT PANTS) and a red shirt, assuming that they were Beidou's. You walk out the room and Beidou, Thoma, along with Kazuha, we're all looking at your outfit. "What?" I look at them confused. "Nothing." They all say in an instant, then look away. Beidou's and Thoma began to laugh and talk as Kazuha was tinkering with the vision's from yesterday.
I decide to talk with Thoma and Beidou, because I didn't want to bother Kazuha any further. "Good morning Thoma and Beidou!" I wave to them and they both smile at me. "Hello y/n!" Beidou responds to me. Thoma just does a subtle wave. "What are we doing today?" I ask them. "Well I was thinking we could go to Liyue?" Beidou asks me, looking for an opinion.

"That sounds like a great idea.."
