Kaeya fears Diluc's vermillion eyes. He has ever since the other man returned to Mondstadt 2 years ago. He ignored it at the time, hoping it was a stupid irrational fear that would fade.

It hasn't though--- If anything, he thinks he's gotten worse in the last couple of months. Even just the color red is making him do a double-take every time it comes into his vision. He feels his perfected mask is slipping and he doesn't know how to fix it.

He can only hope that it isn't too noticable.

Meanwhile, Diluc wants to reconcile. The only issue is, he has no idea how to and Kaeya has been acting strange.

He wants to figure him out.

A Barkeep And His Poet

14 parts Complete Mature

"No like, you're really pretty." He states, his cheeks pink. "Someone has an admirer." Kaeya snorts, looking from me to Venti. I can't think of an answer so I don't speak, giving other customers their drinks. Rosaria snickers and I look over. Venti looks defeated, taking a big swig of wine. "Thank you for the compliment, Venti." He smiles at me with newfound determination. Slumping over, he hiccups, almost falling off of the stool. His smile big, like I just gave him candy. After a bit, he falls asleep, and I hear Kaeya laugh again. Looking over at him, he smiles. "He likes you," Kaeya whisper shouts, drunk off his ass. "I would hope so. It would be awkward if he disliked his bartender." I say, confused. This only makes Rosaria laugh next to Kaeya. "He means that Venti likes you romanticly, Diluc." She snorts, also feeling the alcohol. Or Diluc's face always heats up when Venti is around. His vision no doubt. Ok, maybe a little doubt. This story is over, there is going to be a second book that you can read. Date of Edit- July14,2022
