Venti smiled at Aether, but it was a tired smile. “We’ll have to be more careful next time,” he said. “Those gangsters are a dangerous bunch.” Aether nodded, feeling a sense of responsibility to keep himself and Venti safe. “But now, let’s get out of here,” Venti continued. “We have those groceries to put away.” They walked back to their apartment, carrying the bags with them, and as they entered, Aether kissed Venti on the cheek. They both felt grateful to be alive, and they knew that they had each other to rely on in the tough times ahead.

Aether couldn't believe that Venti had been attacked by the gangsters and he could have been killed. He wanted to protect Venti at all costs, and he made a promise to himself that he would always be there for him. From that day on, Aether made sure to always walk with Venti when they went out, and he even started taking self-defense classes.

Venti was touched by Aether's commitment to protecting him, and he felt a growing love for Aether that he had never felt before. He knew that they had been through a traumatic experience together, but it had also brought them closer together. Aether was the one person he could always rely on, and he was grateful for that.

From that day on, Aether and Venti's love grew stronger and stronger, and they knew that they would always be there for each other, no matter what.
