A Street Dancer with a Black Bandana (Xiaoven)

Twenty-Five: <3

Xiao had barely caught his lovers performance.
He watched as Kazuha and some woman he couldnt identify due to her face being completely hidden.

There were six people but what was happening was one was passed to the other with ease. Or one of them would kinda swoop them away from the other. "I forgot what it's called, but it took them awhile to master it. I think it's like, partner stealing, in a way. Or something." Thoma explains, "I watched Ayato and Kaeya practice it, till Ayato dropped Kaeya and he refused to let Ayato do it again."

Xiao nods, he could hear Thoma's accent, it was different than Venti's but similar.
He couldnt place it. "You know Ayato?"

Thoma laughs, a gentle laugh, "Ah, yes. Very well, actually. I was his house keeper for a few years, then..Well we got together, and then married." He says, "We moved from Inazuma." Xiao nods, looking at Thoma's hand, a black band adorning his ring finger. "I never Uhm..Noticed Ayato wearing his ring."

"He doesnt wear it when hes out like this. Sometimes it'll fall off. It fell off once and he spent about..four, maybe three hours looking for it. It was adorable, turns out it tumbled into Kazuha's bag."

Xiao laughs softly, "That's..Interesting."

Xiao feels a tap against his arm, making him jump and nearly backhand the person behind him.

His hand catches Xiao's, and giggles, "Just me my love." He tugs his mask down, smiling at Xiao. "Jesus. You scared me."

"Mm. My apologies, darling." He kisses Xiao's hand softly, "Practice end early?"

"Mmm. No, but Morax let me go to see this. Told him I'll do double practice Tuesday." Venti nods, smiling, "You're cute. And you look cold, are you cold?"

Xiao shakes his head, "No, actually. You guys almost finished?" He asks, and Venti nods, "Then we gotta get back to the studio and help Luc finish editing the videos she wants, and then post em."

Xiao nods, "What are we doing for dinner tonight?" He asks, and Venti shrugs, "Anything you want, sweetheart."

Xiao laughs, "You're limping." He nudges Venti, "Ah! Yes! I got tripped by Kazuha, unintentionally." Xiao nods, "I'll be okay!" Venti giggles, kissing Xiao's cheek softly. "Love you!" He pulls his mask back up, and vanishes back into the crowd.

Xiao laughs softly, "I'm glad to see him happy." Thoma chirps, smiling. "I remember..Not so great things that happened...After Scaramouche..I was..scared he wouldn't get back into dancing."

"Wait..What happened? I know Scaramouche said he jumped a fence from too far up."
Thoma seemed to have a sad look in his face and eyes, "Its...not my story to tell, but if you heard about the shooter about two years ago, it explains a bit. Or ask Venti himself."

Xiao nods, "Yeah.." He mutters.

Venti inhales as he enters the apartment, and immediately sneezes.
"Go shower, stinky." Xiao pushes him to the bathroom, "I'll vaccum the room up, and get you some clean clothes.

Venti hums, turning to Xiao, "Are you gonna join me?" He asks, and Xiao shrugs, "If you wish."
"Oh, I do~" He loops his fingers around Xiao's belt loops on his Jean's, and pulls Xiao towards him. Xiao let's out a small noise of surprise, feeling Venti's hands against his waist.

"Mm..you're gorgeous." Venti mutters, kissing Xiao's forehead.
Xiao cant help but get flustered, "Thank you." He says, knowing if he refused Venti wouldn't stop telling him.

"Ca..can I kiss you...?" Venti asks softly, "Baby, you don't need to ask me..You know that." Xiao gently puts his hand on Venti's cheek, "I'm still gonna ask, because I respect you, and I dont wanna make you uncomfortable." He replies, fondness in his words, and Xiao nods, "You can kiss me, whenever you want to." He says, and places a kiss in Venti's lips, his hands holding on the the front of his shirt.

Tugging him closer if that was possible, feeling Venti's hands along his waist, his fingers slipping underneath his shirt.

Venti returns the kiss, smiling softly, "I love you, so much, Alatus." Venti mutters, kissing him again.

Xiao smiles, their kissing being interrupted by a ding from Venti's phone, making him sigh, "Well, time to take my medication." Venti kisses Xiao softly, "I love you." He mutters, before pulling away from the other.

Xiao pouts, walking to their bedroom, and searches through their clean clothes, grabbing them both a change of clothing and towels.

He hears the tap water running, Venti humming, and then Thackery meowing.

Xiao smiles at the cat, leaning down to place a gentle kiss on his head.

"Off you go, you have food and water, I'll play later. I'm gonna shower."

Thackery huffs, strutting away.

Xiao tosses his shirt into the laundry basket, slightly shuddering when Venti touches his tail bone, placing a soft kiss on his neck, "Hi," He mutters, and Xiao giggles. "I like when you giggle." Venti whispers, and Xiao smiles, "Mm..You like everything about me."

"No, I love everything about you." He places a soft kiss along his neck, "How you look, how you smell.." He kisses along his tattoo, smiling at him. "You're small, but not that small, you know? L-Like perfectly in my arms. Ya know?" He rambles, making Xiao laugh.
Xiao turns in his arms, kissing him softly, "You're so cute. Especially when you ramble. I love it." He says, and Venti giggles, kissing him. Full of love, adoration.

"C'mon, let's shower, because I am stinky as you so said."

Xiao laughs softly, nodding.
