White Blood~ (XiaoVen)

Twenty-Two: Another Day.

Venti inhales softly, as his eyes adjusted to the light that shines into the room.

He sits up, the blanket falling onto his lap, he looks at Xiao, seeing the other sleeping. Pulling the blanket over his bare back, he rubs his eye.

Venti looks around for the discarded shirt, wondering where his pants hand gone. He looked back at Xiao, placing a soft kiss on his cheek, "Good morning, my darling." climbing out of the bed, picking up the pajama shorts, sighing softly.

He felt..Off. His chest was too light, too easy to breath. Something was wrong.

He grabs Xiao's shirt and pants, placing them on the table next to the bed, grabbing Xiao's hoodie off the chair, sliding that on.

He walks to the door, carefully slipping out, walking to a vending machine, lazily pressing buttons.

Two granola bars fell down, and he picked them up, moving to the coffee machine. He runs his eyes, blinking away the drowsiness. His mind went back to last night, humming, "Oh shit-" His face went red.

"Hey. You okay?" Zhongli asks, putting a hand on his shoulder, making the younger jump slightly, "Uh, y-yes. Just getting coffee. For Xiao! Not me-" He answers quickly, adjusting the hoodie. His voice was hoarse,

"Venti. I need to talk to you, since I've finally gotten you alone." He leads Venti to a seat, and he sits, holding the coffee and bars in his hands, "About?" He was nervous, did someone figure out what happened last night? Oh god.

His mind went back and forth, "When we took your last scan, your tumor showed incredible shrinking. I can operate if you want me to. And if you want to do it. I can remove the tumor." He speaks, getting to the point. That's what he liked about Zhongli, always to the point, no bullshit. "Wait wait, what?" Venti nearly drops the hot coffee, and Zhongli smiles, "Yeah, I can finally do it. "Holy- oh my god," He laughs, "Are you sure? Will it work?"

"Its a 60-40, kid. But I have high hopes. And you'll have a team of the finest doctors here. We have been practicing this for awhile now. Ever since the scan." He speaks, taking the cup from Venti as he sees his hands shaking. "Oh my god. I've gotta- this-this isn't a joke, right?" Zhongli shakes his head,"No, it's not. I promise you." He whispers, and Venti hugs him tightly, damn near sobbing. "Thank you, thank you-!" He smiles, "Yeah, of course. Go back to Xiao. He'll need his coffee, hm?" Zhongli teases.

Venti blushed, and nodded.

He walked back into the room, seeing Xiao still asleep.

He closes the door, making sure the blinds were still shut.

He walks over, placing the items down, and leaned over to carefully kiss Xiao's cheek, and the other mumbled, rolling onto his back, looking up at Venti.

Xiao smiles softly, "Morning." He speaks softly, sighing.

Venti carefully sits next to him, trailing his fingers over the hickeys that laid there, smiling to himself. "Hmm~" He giggled softly, and Xiao laughed, covering his face with his hands, making Venti laugh, "You're so handsome." He smiles, "Also..Zhongli uhm..He told me something. About my lungs." This made Xiao sit up, "Wait, whatd he say?" 

"My tumor has shrunk. Like alot, I guess. He can remove it. I'll be able to, to leave. We can have a life, Xiao. Me and you. No not seeing eachother for a week. Not just weekend. No weekend sleep overs. We can have an apartment together." Xiao laughs, in disbelief, relief, and excitment.

"Are you serious?"

"I know I have bad jokes, but I wouldn't joke about this." Venti says, "I am being 100% serious." Xiao smiles, pulling Venti into a hug, kissing him softly, "Oh my god!" He laughs, "Oh, I love you." He whispered softly.

"I love you too, now, go shower. You have to go to work soon."

Xiao chuckles, kissing him again, slipping out from the bed and walked to the bathroom....
