Unsung Battles (Corrupted Venti x F! Reader)

-6-

The next day I was sat under the tree near the Windrise Statue of the Seven. I was wearing a black dress and boots. The boots laid next to me as I dangled my feet in the cool river water.

The water was a much needed shock to my system, waking my mind and helping me think more clearly. It was with this newfound clear conscious that I mulled over the events of last night.

I was still slightly shook from yesterday's events. Even though Venti could sometimes be slightly protective, it was unusual for him to be as protective as last night. And also, under all that, there was another emotion, another feeling that he displayed. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

Seeing an Anemo crystalfly, I outstretched my hand. The beautiful butterfly landed on my hand and I smiled. Suddenly another crystalfly came and pretty much pushed the first crystalfly off, taking its place on my finger.

That emotion I couldn't identify...

Jealousy.

Someone sat next to me and I turned my head, only for my eyes to meet Venti's sad ones. He seemed tired, drained. His eyes were puffy and red but I could no longer see that purple sheen in them. It was almost as if it'd never been there.

"Hey." His voice was hoarse and from how he looked, I assumed he'd been crying.

"Hey." My voice was quiet.

("We all just love blunt y/n, right?" She says sarcastically.)

He seemed to take a deep breath before sighing, "Look, I'm sorry about yesterday. So, so sorry. I wasn't feeling myself and I scared you."

Venti looked at the floor as if he expected me to refuse his apology. I sucked in a sharp breath.

"It's okay."

My words hung in the air like dust in the light, shimmering slightly, a soft edge to them. I smiled at him warmly, his eyes blinking like an idiot. Then his face broke out into the widest grin I've ever seen.

"But I wasn't lying," his voice became soft, and he lifted his eyes to meet mine, "We could have gone somewhere, just us two."

A warm feeling settled in my chest and I smiled nervously. The fluttery feeling in my stomach wasn't the most pleasant but at the same time, I didn't really hate it.

{A/n: WOO HOO I HAVEN'T ENDED UP DEAD! I had an amazing day today, my second period was Art, which was my favourite so yeah. I'm surprised I was able to update so quick, thank god for art homework lol.

I've been having a few ideas for some fanfics. A Kazuha x reader, Heizou x reader, Xiao x reader and Scara (my baby) x reader. We've got to finish the emo or traumatised and short group! I guess it was fate that I did father Venti first. (I'm not okay, help lol) What do you guys think? Should I start planning some more fanfics?

Sorry this part is so short as well lol T-T
