Xiao perspective:
I struggle to open my eyes considering I was crying last night. As I try to find my way to the bathroom and wash my face. As I did, I left the bathroom and looked outside to see that it was dark out.
" How long did I sleep..? "
I mumbled before going to the kitchen to find something for me to eat. Somehow there was fresh Almond Tofu sitting on the kitchen bench. I was confused and assumed that Venti must've made it for me as I walked up to the Almond tofu before grabbing a fork/spoon(?) and taking a bite. I was amazed at the taste as I continued to eat as I was in a happy mood before remembering this afternoon. I fell into deep sadness before Venti walked in suddenly
" Ah, Xiao! How're you feeling? Is the Almond Tofu good? "
Venti asks me.
" Yes, The Almond Tofu is very unique. Did you make this? "
I didn't wanna quite answer Venti's first question so I tried to leave it out of the conversation" Ehe, Not really. I stopped by Aethers apartment since it wasn't so far for the school aaand.. Since he's your crush~ I decided why not give you a wonderful dish made by- "
I quickly threw away the Almond Tofu in the trash can before walking off. Venti looked stunned at my action before turning to me.
" Hey! What was that for!? We put our love and care into tha-! "
I suddenly cry, Clenching my hands, turning into fists. I felt angry.. And upset. Venti seemed to notice and he looked worried.
" H-Hey.. Did something happen between you and aeth- "
" Just drop it. "
I say, interrupting Venti.
Venti's perspective:
' The nerve of this guy! I got interrupted by him at least 3 times! The audacity. '
" Hey, Tell me what happened. "
I asked, worryingly
" Just forget it, It's nothing. "
Xiao said under his sobbing. I sigh before walking in front of Xiao and hugging him gently. Luckily I was taller than him, Hehe
" It's not nothing, I can tell that you're extremely upset and I want to help you, Tell me what's wrong.. Please? "
He sniffled slightly before hugging me back.
" I don't know this feeling... But I saw Aether kissing another person... I.. I don't know why I'm so upset, I should be happy for him.. "He says in a sad tone.
" Xiao, It's jealousy. You're jealous that Aether found someone that wasn't you... I promise that you'll find someone better, So cheer up! Aether isn't the only one in teyvat you know "
I wipe Xiao's tears with my sleeve.
" Come, Let's make something to eat. Together! You're probably still hungry anyways "
I offered as he smiled
" Thank you, Venti.. "
He says before wiping his tears properly.
" Anytime, Besides. Morax would murder me if he figures out that you were crying and I didn't do anything about it.. Ehehe... "
I laughed nervously.
" You and him seem to be on good terms. Why is that? "
He asked me curiously
" Ah, Well. You can say that Morax is a good friend of mine from years ago despite the age differences between me and him... I'm even good friends with Ei! "
I say, not giving too much detail between our relationship/friendship
" He's never mentioned you to me though? I've never even met you either "
I thought for a moment before going back to what Xiao said.
" Wait, He's never mentioned me before!?! "
Xiao shakes his head slightly.
" That old block head, How rude! "
I sigh, quickly changing the topic.
" Well, Enough about him. We still have plenty of ingredients so lets get to cooking!! "
I say excitedly.
" No, It's fine. You've done enough for me anyways "
" Huuhh? nonsense, You must be hungry! "
I wanted Xiao to eat at least before going to bed so I was ready to beg him if I needed to.
" I'll eat in the morning, You're probably tired anyways. Especially with the windblume festival and having to look after me. "
He explains to be, insisting for me to rest." Pshh- Who says I sleep!?- "
" Go to bed. "
Xiao says, interrupting me FOR THE FOURTH TIME.
" Wha- "
" Go. To. Bed. "
He demands
" WHAT!?? But whyyy!? "
Xiao grabs my hand and goes to my room, Pushing me onto the bed and staring at me with his arms crossed.
" Sleep. I'll wait here until you officially do. "
I groan before having a thought.
" Fine, Fine. I'll go to sleep... BUT. You have to sleep next to me "
I say with a smile on my face as Xiao's face turned into a bright red.
" What!? Why!?? "
He asks
" Well, Because if I'm asleep, I won't know if you're asleep too. I want you to have rest as well you know. "He sighs
" If I accept your offer will you go to sleep? "
" In a jiff! "
I say patting down a spot for him to rest as he sighs again.
" Fine. "
He says before getting under the covers with me. After a few minutes I immediately fell asleep. Like I said, In a jiff!
Xiao's perspective:
5 minutes pass which feels like 10, I can't sleep at all.. Before suddenly Venti wraps his arm around my stomach as my face turns into a flustered face before turning my head to Venti.
" Venti..? "
I got no response from him so I just sigh and turn my body around before cuddling him.
" Good night, Venti.. "
