The Two Sides, Conjoined Into One

*3rd person pov: *

Zhongli looked at venti's sobbing eyes......they were red and puffy.... knowing that everything that has happened in thier lives has now deeply affected venti in a way..the past,present...and possibly even the future ....and all of that has affected thier relationship Greatly ...and zhongli didn't mean to hurt him..or guizhong....truth is...he hated to admit the fact...the one who he missed and loved the most.... realizing this zhongli says down next to venti...the snow falling on their faces, The snow landing on the tip of thier noses as they rest. In the cold biome...the silence only getting filled with the sound of birds chirping and animals running around ... finally zhongli spoke.

"...barbatos....I'm sorry... about.. everything I..just spoke towards you..." Zhongli said with pain and truthfulness. He genuinely really wanted to say sorry...he didn't meant to hurt venti this way...he just... really "loved" him...it was already too late before then.

"Why...why did you act like that!?!do I look like an i###t to you!?!" Venti shouted as he slammed the tree next to him with tears in his eyes, slightly freezing. Then the tree fell snow on the two.. zhongli protecting venti using his body.

"Look barbatos I'm actually very sorry...I didn't know Guizhong's death and my feelings... would affect you this much...and the fact I always acted like we...were nothing but just "friends"....I broke tour feeling without realizing from the very beginning... that's why ...I'm sorry." Zhongli spoke looking at venti in the dark,their hair glowing slightly to give the light it needed. The silence overbearing the tension...venti didn't know what to say but to sob. He didn't know how he would reply to zhongli's true words...to the point...the silence started to disappear the more they spoke and breathed.

"Look Zhongli. I'm not just going to forgive you like that! Do you know how many times you brought me stress, and tears!?I'm always crying for the past few months! You manipulated me back then!! Hrgh ARGHHH!!! I feel like I would fall into another COMA!- ah...eh??" Venti didn't hesitate to shout at Zhongli. Until his last sentence... finally brought the tears into the poor king's eyes...Venti realized his actions...out of instinct he just wiped Zhongli's tears along with his own.finally after awhile zhongli lifted the snow from his body... giving Venti the ability to finally see how much tears were falling.

"...Morax...p-pls don't cry...i-im the one supposed to be sad! D##b old man! You old geezer! S-stop crying already god namit! I'm mad at you!! S-stop making m-me cry..." Venti said but really. Seeing his fellow friend cry because of him made him guilty...he felt what Zhongli felt. The gulit on being angry at the one you cared about... slowly venti forgot his anger and just...hugged zhongli... crying loudly.

"B-barbatos... i-im sorry...I'm deeply sorry...hic...your...warm..hic.." zhongli gave up a small hint of weakness as the two embraced venti still sobbing very loudly as zhongli rubbed the back of Venti's head, hugging each other tightly as they warm each other under the cold weather.

And behind the scenes....the pair doesn't know who is watching them from the trees...the young child who saved venti during the accident has been silently watching the two....but being away from humanity. Didn't understood the pair's actions. He didn't....but WISHED he understood what was going on...then suddenly he stepped on a branch alerting the two.

"A-ah!!..o-oh..phew it's just you..sniff ehe..." Venti says with an expression of surprise and embarrassment as he wipes his nose.. zhongli doing the same but more professionally.the young boy scratched his Injuries...then zhongli then realized venti himself was very hurt.
