Vermillion Sun

The Sun for a Vermillion Bird

Mondstadt; A village of warm air, drunken nights, and a lot of dead people trauma. 

Maybe there was a wholesome love at some point, but now it's just fucking twink Xiao. That's where the story begins.

Loud bellows of laughter came from a lit-up tavern in the corner of Mondstadt, music following with the sound of two twinks humping against a bar.. well, one and a drunk. Diluc, their read-headed (pissed) bartender, shook his head as the top twink asked for more Dandelion Wine. 

"No Venti, you cannot have any more drinks. It is passed 4 in the morning and Xiao looks like he's about to go into heat. Mans needs to build a nest or somethin, I don't fucking know," a sleep-deprived Diluc muttered. The Anemo Archon looked at him with disdain and confusion, throwing his mug at Diluc's head. Venti shouted in a rage, "Just because you can't get bitches because you're a broody bitch who doesn't talk to women or men doesn't mean I don't get to get fucked up. Whatever. Whore."

Venti dragged Xiao away to a corner of Angel's Share where a spear was sitting. A childish twinkle lit up in the Adeptus's eye, a drunken giggle falling from his pale pink lips, "What's the spear for Venti?" Venti sighed and looked at his drunken lover with such fervor it could melt iron, "It's for you, though the story of the acquirement wasn't too great." The Anemo Archon watched as his Adeptus looked at him questioningly, taking that as his queue to speak, "Dazza got it for me... He went into the forest and got some 'munchies' as he calls them, then found this spear, had no use for it, and gave it to me." Xiao's nose crinkled at the name before giggling once more before Venti's lips crashed into his. A loud crash of the tavern's door soon followed. 

A short girl with dark hair had entered the tavern, a fury burning bright in her eyes, "BARBATOS YOU CRUSTY MUSTY ASS BITCH. NO WONDER YOU COULDN'T GET A BITCH FOR LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS," she screamed. She had a Pyro vision and was an Adeptus aswell. "Whatever Kayla," Venti rolled his eyes and waved her off before returning his lips to Xiao. Kayla stomped up to Venti and smacked him in the face before grabbing Xiao's hand, looking at him with gentle eyes. "Hey Alatus, are you alright? I know you can't handle alcohol well and Venti likes to drag you to taverns," she muttered softly to Xiao before looking at Venti with anger while Xiao nodded timidly, a bashful look gracing his face.

Diluc finally had had enough of their bullshit and kicked them out of his tavern into the warm summer night, "Go have your fuckfest somewhere else. Venti, stop being a homewrecker and an overall whore. Go away and go home." Xiao, almost falling asleep on his feet, was picked up by Kayla (who's strength came from the fact she's a claymore user) and slowly walked to the entrance of Mondstadt, a jealous Venti following closely behind. "Venti if I ever catch you taking advantage of my fiancé, I will get the Raiden fucking Shogun on your flat wimpy ass. Couldn't even protect your own town. Didn't show up when you were in need. Only played your little fucking bitch baby harp until you were explicitly asked for help by someone who isn't even FROM THIS WORLD. You even look his way I will smite you down with the power of thousand suns." With that, Kayla was enveloped in a fiery swirl and soon vanished with Venti's one and only crush held protectively and lovingly in his fiancé's arms.

"Goodbye, My Vermillion Bird."


"Papa Papa, what happened next!?" A young voice rang pure, an older man sitting in front of him. "Well baby, maybe we'll hear about that another time. Right now, it's time for sleep," a soothing voice entered the room, white-blonde hair draping over the mans shoulder. "Kazuha, you came at the exact right time, I just finished the story about Auntie Kayla," the man kissed Kazuha on the cheek. "Oh, Papa decided to tell you a new story? That was nice of you Brez, you don't usually tell new stories to the kids," a chuckle soon followed. "Hey hey, don't make me sound like a lazy father, I'm a great dad thank you very much," Brez said before picking up their child and laying him in his bed. 

"Goodnight sweetheart, maybe we'll tell you another story tomorrow night."
