--Alatus pov--
Where could that Tianquan go... it's making me sick here, ugh, when will this raid end... I already captured this Leader's son yet they still want me to stay here
This is giving me headaches... I wanna leave... I'll just go back to the room I settled Venti
What am I gonna do... yes, we successfully captured this Venti guy but what am I- aughhh this is irritating
Venti is still sleeping yet I'm here to guard him from the Mondstadtians
City is pretty wrecked and I can't do anything about it
Being cold towards Venti is giving me a sense of regret and sympathy
We don't even know eachother unless it's like our fathers had such peace talks, but no, I haven't heard my father talk good about Barbatos, it's always rants here and there I can't take it
Ugh I should just go back to Venti, I'm having a headache
--At the room--
I slowly close the door to not disturb Venti
As I successfully closed the door without noise, I looked at Venti on the bed sleeping
He looks like an angel sleeping... no no I can't get distracted, I might lose focus if I keep staring
"Pfft"
I turned to look back seeing Venti laughing at me
"Pfft BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU COULD'VE SEEN YOUR FACE THERE ALATUS." Venti screamed in laughter
"You were so red! Hahahahaha I couldn't get that much laugh for over a century! That's was the best laugh ever!" He said while catching his breath
"S-shut up! B-besides, I-i was just thinking w-what I was supposed to do with you."
"Alright alright, I'll believe you on that. I was just about to ask you before, is it find if I ask?"
"Go ahead, I won't do anything to you or your question."
"Why am I here?"
"Pfft, why are you here? Isn't that obvious? You're captured here Venti, well until I want you to be free that is."
I broke our eye contact to avoid more suspicion from him
"Hey, that's quite rude you know, breaking eye contact just to remove suspicion."
"Shut up, if you don't I'll take care of you for the most part and I don't like it one bit."
"Neither do I, you're way too cold and plain." He said
This kid... I just- I just can't bare with him
"You've gone silent, are you having a cold feet?" He said teasingly
I walked towards him grabbing his neck lifting him up
"I told you to shut up didn't I? Is it that hard to do? Now I have to take care of you most of the time, what a pain." I said dropping him, he started coughing
"Y-you know, you could've gone easy on me." He said while coughing and getting some air so he could breathe, he was having a hard time tho
"But you couldn't shut up so I did what I have to do." I said looking at him coldly
"Your cold gaze is not gonna scare me Alatus." He said looking at me fearlessly
"I hate you."
"I hate you too hehe."
"I'll just punish you, you're way too annoying."
"Oh? Go on punish me, you can't even hit me really hard, you'll just go easy on hitting me." He said making me mad even more
"Awww, look at you, can't even hit me."
I'm, I'm going to kill you
"Heh, your bloodlust is showing Alatus."
"..."
"Hm? You're getting quiet, is there something wrong?"
"You just can't shut up Venti."
"Then try to make me shut up if you can't." He said with a bit of persuasion in his voice
"Wait here, I'll make you shut up for real this time." After saying it I tied Venti again and quickly left the room
Now I have to find a cloth or something to shut him up
A while later
Finally I found one now I just have to go back and put this on his mouth and he's silent
-------
I slowly closed the door to avoid making noise since Venti might be sleeping from boredom
Seeing Venti not on the bed, I started getting anxious, not seeing him is quite a bad sign
I started looking for him everywhere but to no avail, he's not here, not even the space for hiding spots
I heard giggling behind me, as I was looking behind me slowly I saw Venti
"Hehe, sleep well~" and knocked me out
I had countless dreams, dreams of my friends dying, they're gone, they won't come back, they won't
"Alatus! Come on, stop zoning out! You're going to miss out Lord Morax's task for us!"
Menogias...
"That's right big brother! You're going to miss it!"
Indarias...
"Come on, we can't keep our Lord waiting."
Bonanus...
"Ahahahahah if won't move there, I won't give you almond tofu."
And Bosacious...
Why did you betray Morax? I wanted to ask you all. Why?
--Venti pov--
Hm? He sure is taking his time, I wonder what your dreaming. If only I can see, whether I can or cannot, I can see the look on your face, full of Sadness, Fear, Frustration and Lonelines
What made you like this? Are you that lonely?
I was staring at him for a while until he woke up
"Not so good dream?"
He looked at me with seriousness in those pair of golden eyes, they're sharp, sharper than mine
"Don't even think about it. I'm fine." He said with a cold heart to those sentences
"Alatus, you're not fine."
"That's General Alatus to you."
"Sorry sorry, General, I have a question."
"Go on, I'm listening."
"Do you have bad dreams often?"
"Of course I do, what would you expect? Me having good dreams all the time? Good dreams are rare to me if you like it or not, it's still the same."
"But, you don't go easy of people, are the bad dreams causing that?"
"Half and half, it's karmic debt that is doing this to me."
"Then, can I ask another question?"
"Hm?"
"Are you scared?"
