Xingqiu POV:

"Yun..." I whispered nervously,

He didn't turn around, he just made a 'hm' sound,

"I'm sorry for upsetting you.." I whispered again,

Silence.

"I.. Please don't break up with me over this... please.. I don't want to lose you.. I'm really sorry.." I was trying not to cry and I knew that I wasn't saying the right things but I was desperate.. I was scared.

A moment of silence went by before he finally responded, his voice full of pain and fear,

"I'm really scared of losing you Xingqiu... you need to understand that. I'm scared to sleep.. incase I wake up and you'll be gone again, except.. for good this time, I'm scared to leave you alone because I'm afraid that you're going to abandon me and you won't be there when I get back... I'm so, so afraid Xingqiu... and.. and if you think you're going to lose me over some stupid Balladeer... you're wrong."

I coudl tell that he'd been holding all that in for a while...

He still didn't stand up or even turn to look at me but I went over and sat down next to him, placing my hand gently on his,

That seemed to pull him back to reality somehow,

"I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to apoligise. I'm the one who got so stupidly angry over nothing." He spoke,

I couldn't think of any response so I gently wrapped my arms around him,

"...I promise you Yun Yun, I'm never going to abandon you, no matter what, and if you ever wake up one day and I'm not there, just remember this, no matter what happens, I will always come back to you."

I didnt have to look at him to know that he was crying, he slowly lifted his arms and wrapped them around me, pulling me onto his lap and holding me tight,

"I love you, so much that it hurts." He whispered,

"I love you too, more then words can explain... now let's go home.."

With that we stood up and went back to Chongyun's house...

Our house..

Home.

Everything was right again,

But despite all the closure between us, there was still one more thing that needed to be fixed.

"Yun, can we go to Mondstadt? We need to fix everything with Bennett and Razor." I asked,

"Fix? Nothings wrong though?"

"We left them, the least we can do is explain to them what's happened and why we haven't kept in touch. Also.... I keep getting this... sense... that Bennett doesn't like me very much and.. I want to make sure everything is ok between us." I confessed,

"Alright then, wanna head down there now?"

"Yes please."

With that we went to the bus stop and caught the first bus to Mondstadt,

We went up to bennetts house and knocked on the door, when he opened it we were met with Bennett except he didn't look as happy as usual.. he looked.. sad?

"Bennett are you-"

"What are you guys doing here?" He asked with a slightly shaky voice,

"We came to see you, what's going on?"

"Forget it, just go home." He tried to close the door but Yun stopped him,

"Bennett, what is going on." He spoke, more commandingly this time, Bennett seemed to think for a moment before giving in,
