°※✿========✿※°

You stare at the bedroom ceiling, not managing to sleep due to you reiterating gut-feeling interpretations about your life's unanswered questions. You often wonder how someone could love you ever so dearly as Venti does. It was truly alarming, really. You were shellshocked to know that he liked you back during your confession, you have felt like you were hideous, and it started when you were young, always comparing yourself to other people. You hated everything about yourself, and your past relationships ending on a despicable note have left a dent on you, as well as it made your insecurities even worse.

You long to know how much more time it'll take till he finally leaves after getting tired of you, it hurts thinking about its possibilities. He could easily get a better-looking partner by just a snap. Yet he refused to. It left you confused. You looked at the wall clock not so far, the time shows it's midnight, sighing you get up from the bed, carefully not to wake up the sleeping figure of your lover beside you. Mind filled with uneasy thoughts that keeps you awake.

Without knowing, you approach the bedroom's cheval glass mirror standing in the corner of the room. You stopped by, observing the figure in it, your reflection, noticing all your small imperfections. It's an unhealthy habit of yours, you couldn't help but stand by the reflector to criticize your body and its flaws all over again.

You then remembered the cause of your insecurities. You remember the occurrences from weeks ago...

"Where is he..?" You asked yourself as you try to excuse yourself from the passing shoppers, trying not to rudely shove them. You and Venti decided to go to the market today to buy groceries. It was crowded with shoppers buying their essential needs, without knowing you were lost, you turned around and Venti was no longer with you, anxieties kicked in as you began to panic.

In a troubled state, you immediately started running through every aisle of the market to target him. Accidentally, you bumped into someone due to your sprinting's rush of pace. "Sorry!" as you were apologizing, you noticed a familiar teal tipped black haired individual. Your worries disappeared, transforming to an abundance of brightness; you grinned in glee and released a sigh of relief.

Right until you notice someone is interacting with him. Your eyes wandered to their appearance, they have long beautiful eyelashes, remarkable golden eyes that shine bright like the sun, and silky blonde hair that remained perfectly intact. They were awfully gorgeous, and you knew you couldn't compete with them. You then looked at Venti, a smile plastered on his face as he talks to them, his eyes' shines matches with the person he's talking with. You couldn't help but feel 'envy', envy with how perfect they both look together.

Not wanting to interrupt them, you impulsively left, ignoring the following calls of your name.

"Y/n! Where are you heading to? You'll get lost in the crowd!" You were stopped in your tracks by a hand on your wrist. You turned around to see your lover, Venti, a visible frown along with a concerned look plastered on his face as he looks at you eye to eye, concerned about your sudden unusual behavior. He's always the type of guy to catch on things just by a glance, and he knows something's bothering you. "O-Oh! Uhm- I was... I was just going to buy a drink! Haha.."
