A Protective Wind 🍃Venbara🍃

🍃Twenty🍃

"My past..?"

"Well yeah, after all we will be getting married after my body is done recovering so I feel I should know more."

"Alright, come here I'll tell you about the very first bit of my life I remember. One day I opened my eyes, this was when I was a little wind spirit, and it was in old mondstadt. I met this boy that had the same appearance that I now take, black hair with braids and blue eyes, and we were quick to be friends even though I couldn't talk. He played music for me and would talk about how terrible it was in mondstadt, so I encouraged him to take a stand...And well he did, leading a group of people to riot and while we ended up winning there was much death..." he wiped a tear to prevent it from rolling down his cheek, his voice cracking when he followed up with "My friend was dead..."

Barbara was silent as she hugged him, rubbing his back, he squeezed her and put his head on her shoulder.

"It's okay Venti, I'm here, and I'm sorry you had to loose him...But at least he was able to get freedom for everyone else like he wanted! I'm sure that made him happy from above."

"Mhm..."

She took his cheek and kissed him on the lips, then wiped away his tears as she saw the pure emotions in his eyes. Regret, sadness, guilt, they were all present...That's the thing about being immortal, you'll see many people you love die. It's one of the sacrifices she had to make in order to be by his side forever but she loves him too much to loose him...Even if she was reincarnated she wouldn't remember him, wouldn't remember his love, and it would hurt him forever to see her pass. The next thing she knew she was holding a little wind spirit, weak and fragile...She laid down all the way as she held him, giving kisses to his head as if he were a cat.

"You'll never loose me, okay? We'll get through rough times together and comfort each other..."

Venti POV

After almost a year Barbara's body has fully changed, white wings almost the size of my own and a marking of anemo wings, almost like a tattoo, placed on the side of her neck. It was tough to teach her how to hide her wings, even if she did manage to hide them it wasn't for long. Because of the slow progress there were times where I went to mondstadt alone and got questioned by Jean where her little sister is, even though her little sister is a full on adult she still thinks of her as a kid. I awoke and noticed the bed was empty so I got up, beginning to get ready for the day. I hid my white wings, becoming Venti once more, and undressed. I put on my tights, my shorts, my white blouse, my corset, my cape, and to finish it off, my hat. I looked in the mirror as I redid the braids in my hair then went off to the kitchen. I kissed Barbara's cheek then lips, smiling afterwards.

"Ready for some more practice? You're getting better everyday! Ehe!"

"Yeah but get yourself a bite to eat first! I don't care if you don't actually need to eat, but I want you to anyways because it's good for you."

I sighed admitting defeat, "Alright since it'll make my love happy."

I went over to the fridge and picked out an apple, then cut it on a plate. I sat next to her at the table eating my apple, gosh how I love apples. After I finished up my apple I stood up, kissing Barbara's forehead and going to our room; she followed close behind. Then it was training time, after a few hours she finally was able to hide them for an hour then they came back out as we sat on the bed. She groaned out of frustration, "I was doing so well too!"

"Don't worry, you're already improving!"

"Yeah but you manage to hide yours almost all the time! Im so far from your skill!"

"While that may be true, I've had thousands of years to perfect it, while you've only had a few months."

"Well I guess if you put it like that it makes sense..."

"Now cmon, let's try again! I believe you can do Ehe!"

She smiled at me as her wings once more vanished, and I got a kiss on the lips from her. I hugged her, looking at the anemo symbol on her neck...I suppose makeup might be able to hide that? I haven't dabbled in makeup much though, just when I needed to cover up some type of blemish for important events. I touched the symbol and it glowed a bit, then Barbara question what I was doing.

So I responded, "I was curious about the anemo marking you have on your neck...It's almost signifying like you're mine~ Ehe! I'm just kidding I can never own you, but it's intriguing."

"Well it kind of tingles when you touch it, like power is being sent through my body..."

"Well it does glow a bit when I touch it, sorry if it hurt..."

"No it didn't hurt at all, just a bit of a strange feeling."

I wrapped my arms around her neck and looked her in the face, smiling at her beauty. Gosh how did I score her? She smiled back at me as we kissed once more...It was more passionate than usual, to think these lips are now only for me...I'll protect them with my life, I'll protect that sweet heart of yours with my life, I'll protect my goddess with my life. Did he send you? Sometimes I think he did, he always tried his hardest to make me happy...Whatever it is that let us meet, I'm happy it happened.
