The sound of Venti's sweet yet playful laughter filled Diluc's ears as Venti ran up to him, the water splashing against their legs as Venti grabbed Diluc's hand, making his eyebrows raise ever so slightly.

"Come on Diluc! You'll get sunburned if you just stand there like a grump!~" Venti teasingly said as he held onto his hand and dragged him over to the creek's water.

"Seriously Venti? Can't you just act normal for five seconds?" Diluc sarcastically asked. "No, i don't believe i can!" Venti stated with a grin as his feet submerged into the cold water.

"So you'll just have energy all day?" Diluc asked with a sigh. "Very much so likely~" Venti laughed.

Diluc remained staring with a deadpan look, until his mind came up with the proper thoughts to maybe slow down Venti's never ending  supply of energy.

"Well, i think i know just how to help you." Diluc stated as he brushed his forearm against his. "Hm, Oh? And how?" Venti grinned teasingly, looking up at him. "Like this" Diluc stated with a small smirk as he firmly planted his hands on Venti's waist and lifted him, slowly but surely putting him over his shoulder and smirking small.

his feet slowly ascended out of the water, small droplets of water hitting against Diluc's legs and feet.

"i-" Venti's eyes widened. he was in a state of shock for a few seconds, until a flirtatious grin spread across his face. "Wow Diluc~ I didn't know you swung this way" Venti teasingly said as he looked over Diluc's shoulder to catch glimpses of his face.

"I dabble." he stated and lowered Venti into his arms, his hands firmly planted. one located on his waist, and the other on his hip, slowly brushing up and down in a small caress. 

"Who knew the stoic grump was feeling flirtatious today?" Venti's grin was rather content, remaining on his face as he trailed his fingers along Diluc's collarbone, sending small shivers down Diluc's spine.

"Well.. What's wrong with a small ounce of flirting with someone like you?" Diluc questioned, taking a small glance down to his lips before looking back at his green eyes. "Oh. Nothing's wrong with it.. I just can't help but think you might have a thing for me?~" Venti leaned in closer, whispering his words slowly into Diluc's ear. Making a small blush creep up Diluc's cheeks.

His hands slightly gripped tighter around the smaller males body in his reaction. "And so what if i do?" Diluc stated. Moving his arm fully around his waist and removing his hand from Venti's hip, positioning it under Venti's chin, softly tugging at it and making him face him fully.

Their noses brushed against each other as Venti grinned small, their eyes focused and set on each other. "Then, that's all the better" Venti stated, his voice barely above a whisper as his eyes glanced to Diluc's lips before looking back to his face. 

Venti's smaller hands crept over from his collarbone over to Diluc's shoulders. "It just makes this all the better~" he whispered as his breath brushed across Diluc's face as Venti's eyes slowly closed.

Diluc's breath hitched in his breath as he felt Venti's lips brush against his, it took him multiple seconds to realize what was happening. His eyes widened. in a state of shock, the world felt as if it stopped. his eyes glimmering slightly.

But, instead of his ears being full of the sounds of the birds chirping, the insects buzzing. Or feeling Venti's body against his. 

His lips felt cold yet with the pleasurable sensation of venti's lips on his, but... It didn't feel real. his ears filled with the sound of a alarm going off. and it took him multiple moments until suddenly, his eyes opened? and he quickly sat up.

Sweat creased around his forehead as he looked around quickly, his breath quick. Disappointment set in as his brain realized.. It was Just a dream..

Of course it was.. It was always just a dream, Venti would never kiss Diluc. Never in a million years, or so Diluc assumed as he propped his elbow onto his knee with his hand on his forehead.

With a sigh, Diluc looked around. It was hard to believe it had been a whole two and a half weeks of knowing Venti, it felt like yesterday he met him in detentions, not two and a half weeks ago.

He hated this. he hated all of it. He hated love, he hated people. Yet why was Venti remaining in his mind? why was he dreaming of venti!? Why, why was Venti making his heart pound? Why was the image of his lips pressing against his filling his mind. 

He always hated couples, seeing them in public. Displaying their love. He found it cheesy and unromantic. Yet.. Now adays..

He couldn't help but feel Envious of them.
