Beautiful like the Ocean, Dangerous like the Water

More than a fight

 You were expecting this, you are sick.

The storm Neuvillette created because of his sadness, eventually won against you, you have a big fever, you sneeze every time and your nose is always full. Honestly, you don't care, all you want to do is to lie down in your bed and continue to cry, looking at your window the all day.

And that's what you did, for two full days, you never had the energy to stand up, you just watched the window, just to feel a little closer to him. You're sure that this time, all the raining you see outside is because of his emotions, you can also guess that he tries to contain those emotions by the way the rain fall for only a few minutes before stopping, and restart again, and again, and again.

You're angry at yourself, just when he gaves you what you dreamed about for weeks, when he silently asked you to be his... you weren't able to reciprocate, you were so overwhelmed by emotions that he left without having a clear answer.

You basically silently rejected him.

Your thoughts were interrupted when you heard a knock at your front door, it's probably Aether, you couldn't go outside and tell him that you are sick, and not able to train with him.

You get up, take a dressing gown and keeping your plush, ignore your headache and go downstairs to reach the door, as you heard another knock, you unlock your front door and open it.

Aether and Paimon are here, as well as Furina, two of them have an umbrella and looks sad, Paimon speaks to you first.

"Hello Aniès, hum... how are you feeling ?"

You sight, obviously Furina told them that Neuvillette was arrested, you take a step back and invite them to come in.

"Hi... I'm sorry I'm not feeling great at all, I'm sick since the storm he created... Please take a sit, I will make some tea."

As you were about to go in the kitchen, Aether placed a hand on your shoulder.

"You should sit down and rest, I can do the tea if you're okay with that."

"Yes, thank you Aether."

You smile at him, he returns the gesture and go in your kitchen with Paimon, you join Furina in the living room, she is already sit, you sit in front of her, hugging your plush.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything... I may be the Hydro Archon, I know Neuvillette and he won't listen to anyone."

"I know... I saw it myself too..."

She nods and you both stay silent, until Aether and Paimon went back with the tea, you thanks them and take a sip, it's really good and your throat is actually thanking you.

Then your belly made you remember that you haven't eater for two days, you blush while they all looks at you.

"When was the last time since you've eaten ?" Furina asks

"Two days..."

"What ? No wonder why you can't cure a simple cold."

"It's not that simple Furina..."

She sights and pat your hand.

"I know... I did my best to chose a date for the duel, and I could find one."

"Is it really necessary ? Can't you... cancel everything...? We all know that what that man said was the truth but... I can't believe that Neuvillette is related to the prophecy..."

"Like I said, I know he isn't, but no one listened to me, besides, Neuvillette is who he is, and he won't go against the law even if I announce that he is innocent to save him from this situation."
