authors notes: hey yall. SO WOO!!!! epilogue is here so this is 5 years in the future so do the math– xiao and venti are mid 20s OKAY!!!

- xiaoven in this fic were originally t4t (sawry ven. in my heart he is always nonbinary)

- chongyun was initially supposed to have a SLIGHT british accent bc of his eng va but i got lazy so its hardly noticeable

- oh yeah zhongli was supposed to be dead before the book even started but he is here and now he and diluc go kissy kissy

- xiao was supposed to die aswell by the hands of dottore el oh el!! yall know the chapter where dottore is strangling him? HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE IN THAT CHAPTER LMFAOO

- xq was never supposed to die, lily just made me mad and i killed him. Sawry

- and finally: the book was initially supposed to start at xinyans pov when they find xq and chongyun in their school with dead xiangling but like. yall know how many chaps this is? imagine this fic but three times longer. yeah im not writing that shit

the sun fluttered through the blinds softly, gently waking the two men to life. venti's eyes open first, his eyes slowly adjusting to the light in the room, his eyes squinting as he looks around the room the two shared. his eyes immediately land on xiao who was fast asleep, his nose scrunched as he sleeps peacefully.

venti groans as he pokes xiao's arm, "wake up."

xiao does nothing as he lays in bed, still unmoving. xiao seems to snuggle deeper into the pillows as venti watches him.

"i'm going to spit on you if you don't wake up." venti says as he watches xiao wiggle around the covers once more.

"i didn't know you were into that." xiao mumbles as venti combs through xiao's strands, his hair was a bit longer than it used to be but it still held the same colors that xiao had practically sworn on only having his hair be.

"oh shut up, would you?" venti whines as xiao presses a chaste kiss to his lips.

"yeah, yeah. we all know how you only like me for my mouth." xiao jokes as he stretches, a loud pop coming from his body.

"oh yeah, definitely. i only married you for that and nothing else." venti laughs as xiao turns to pull the covers off before venti grabs his hand.

"no," venti whines, stretching the o out as xiao stares at him blankly, "it's the weekend, lay with me and snuggle in bed with me?"

xiao sighs, "you know what happens when we lay in bed for too long."

venti furrows his brows, "your bones start hurting? it should be fine we have aspirin in the–"

xiao shakes his head, "oh my god, not that, venti! you end up wanting to have sex!"

"ah." venti realizes, "but it's just us so like, what's the harm?"
