venti:
i looked at the time
it was getting late
"i'm gonna go to bed it's late"
"i'll join you" xiao stated
i slumped into bed
letting the covers swallow me
i slowly closed my eyes as i melted into the mattress
when i opened my eyes again i was in mondstat
but things were different
everything was destroyed
the grass was burnt
the water was dried out
the wine went bad
windows we're shattered
it was horrible
i couldn't believe someone would do this to my home,
to my people's home,
i would make them pay
i ran off to liyue
tears rolling down my face
my heart was shattered
i was feeling hurt until i saw a familiar face
he had the most mesmerizing amber eyes,
porcelain skin,
deep teal colored hair,
and a breathtaking smile
our eyes met and it was like a string connected us for a moment
like we could feel each other
see each others thoughts
experience each others life
no matter how many people walked through the invisible string
i could still feel him
i approached him
slowly and calmly
"you're the one who saved me from the boulder"
i looked at him shocked
"you remember me right?"
xiao's pov:
he had to remember me
he did save me after all
it was just so crazy we got to meet again
"yeah i do, xiao right?"
"yes that's right
and you're venti"
i looked into his eyes and saw the pain he was hiding from me
that cool shade of teal
the tear stained look on his pale skin
i knew the pain all too well
"xiao are you even listening"
"huh?"
venti's pov:
he then looked back up at me
i got mesmerized all over again
i cleared my throat and snapped out of it
"i was saying,
do you have a place i could stay
i mean my home just got destroyed"
"yeah of course,
follow me"
he then lead me back to his home
i was surprised when he took care of me
really good care
"thank you xiao"
"just returning the favor"
"about earlier,
i feel like we were"
i paused as we both said
"connected"
