The Windborn boy ─ Venti x reader ✔

31.

The boys were quick to adapt on the big day. Compared to the other meaningful days—this one was huge.

They had worked towards this day. No, the following weeks with determination and dedication. Even you had put all of yours into it. Still, some time had passed since you last sat in your office— entirely focused but also so short with the attention span to prepare this.

You felt a sense of pride. The tour had come and the group was shortly in front of performing for the first time. The day was huge to them. There were thousands of people. Somehow, it was quite overwhelming with all the lights.

When you saw them a last time before performing, you looked them in the eyes. "Good luck and have fun!" You smiled.

Kazuha nodded, giving a "thanks" back. Meanwhile, the others were too nervous to speak. They were feeling the weight on their shoulders. There were thousands of people watching. All eyes on them, what if they'd screw up? This was such an anxiety inducing question.

You smiled weakly at Venti. Who when he caught your sight blushed. His cheeks were filled with a tint of red roses while he tried to hide it behind one hand.
You chuckled, going towards him. Only with the purest of all intentions which were to calm him.

You held his shoulder, gentle but just enough, so that he noticed. His eyes darted towards your figure. His gaze filled with nature's green shine, which was looking at you shy. He wanted to disappear, but he had to focus.

"Good luck, windborn boy~!" You tell him, giving him a hug. The playfulness in your voice came out that one time. Those few times where you would tease him and successfully caught him off guard were a treasure to witness. That left him speechles.

He had lost all of his calm and collected composure physically. Additionally it was unexpected, but he ended up reciprocated the embrace. Regardless of the fact that his cheeks were filled with the red tint. Whatever would come with you by his side, he could manage it.

A place that was warm and secure. There was nothing else to ask for— there was nothing more needed.

When they performed that day and the following ones you knew in around a month, this stress would be over. All of it was gonna pay out. And even yet, the fans were already chanting their names— applauding them loudly and cheering in most joyful ways.

Whenever they performed, they shined bright like stars. Somehow, it gave a sense of nostalgia as the sound of their songs gave this vibe.

"You all did great." You would always say. Everytime

With that first day, most of the following days of the tour went by without much further going on.

I didn't know why at first, but I craved some good old apple when I woke up.

Even before that, thoughts of Y/n dominated my mind. It was making me sick. Except, it did the opposite of not being hungry. Now I knew why I craved food, to fill that void. The juicy fruit would always be close to my heart. However, since it wouldn't leave my mind, I decided to get downstairs.

When I reached the stairs, a realization came upon me. As the wood cracked softly below my feet.

'It is kind of late' I thought.

It didn't strike my thoughts right away, but I probably should be trying to keep especially quiet.

For the others, it had been a rough week. After all of us had performed on the tour, we were physically and mentally exhausted.
