Semolina Pudding

Barbatos the god of freedom and death. Who frees the souls into the after life or into rebirth on earth. They say that everyone will meet Barbatos once in their lifetime, and is when their lives are fading. Barbatos appears then with his wings and hands open, welcoming your soul. That's what you see when you fade from life young. Barbatos and Venti, the same being, guiding you to dance in the space between life and death, prolonging this sweet and painful connection for some little more time.

And when he guides your soul to rebirth, it does not go back on earth untouched. He leaves trails of anemo infusion within you, meant to bring you back to him again, in your next life, back to the Anemo god that's dedicating his immortality to only one soul.

A faint birth mark of the color of anemo is on your hand. The unique mark which means is that you belong to Barbatos, but you don't know. You're reborn, and meeting him again is once again the first time for you, but for him it's not.

And every time you die, every time he relives the pain, each time he sends your soul to be reborn, each time falling in love with you over and over, waiting for you. He can't let go of your soul, it keeps reliving in Teyvat instead of flying to the heavens.

And each time you're reborn, you always only love one song he sings, the same favorite song. It becomes a deja Vu. The more you're reborn, the more you get deja vu's, until you begin to remember, you get so aware.

The Anemo infusion into your soul brings memories back to you, like the winds that hold whispers and secrets. Your mind and soul are no longer two separate essences but they get merged, and you, in your essence are now just a fully aware soul with a mind and body, remembering what you shouldn't. Nature doesn't follow its natural state because you know Barbatos has loved you till the beginning of time and has never let go.

Archons are such weak and fragile beings in their essence. Tormented in their own pain, unable to bear the concept of human life. Of death. They get attached to humans and things more than anyone ever does.

At what point does immortality not feel like strength, but rather like a painful curse and fragility?

"My blume, don't you know, archons are nothing without humans? Humans can live without archons, but archons would not survive without humanity. Immortality is a curse, painfully engraved into our fates."

Who wants this story written?

Cyno

🍧You hear the sound of nail clipping from Cyno clipping his toe nails on the terrace, with his foot sitting on his thigh. He's got a simple and silver color nail clipper that is so loud, either because of it, or because of his thicc nails.

🍧You often see him washing his feet at the faucet in Avidya forest. Actually, there's no time you don't see him washing his feet at the faucet with a handmade soap everytime he comes from the desert with really dirty and full of sand feet. Collei usually brings him a clean towel.

🍧There's something calming and satisfying about seeing Cyno do these simple everyday life things that everyone does.

🍧He sometimes just sits on the margin of the terrace of Tighnari's chalet, in the morning sun, and sips dark coffee, no sugar, you know, because he always mentions it when buying coffee from some other places. His loud sips are an usual background noise, silent and deep in his own thoughts, with a hand sitting on his thigh.

🍧Cyno always sighs hard when leaning down in bed after a hard day.

🍧When he wakes up from a nap, you know he's hungry. And if it isn't dinner time yet, he just eats some cheese with onions he's cleaning himself. He blinks pressed, his eyes sting because of the onions.

Tighnari

🍧Tighnari can be heard whistling unbothered while doing chores or wandering the forest. The tone and Rhythm of his whistling is recognizable. Is soothing and relaxing to listen to while doing something or just being in the area.

🍧Tighnari does push ups near the bed sometimes, without a particular reason.

🍧You came to Avidya Forest to find out the beloved forest ranger infested himself with salmonella, after eating an infested mushroom by mistake. He throws up often and sometimes he doesn't even get to reach a bucket or the outside. A doctor comes to Avidya to check and cure him. Salmonella is contagious so Cyno and Collei have been told to keep their distance.

🍧When he doesn't get salmonella from mushrooms, Tighnari can be seen sewing his clothes and Collei's as well. Her bra got a tear and Collei is too messy. She can't do a tight and strong sew like Tighnari does. He pricks himself with the needle and groans annoyed, pressing with the thumb on his stinged finger.

Wanderer (Bambi)

(I named him Bambi.)

🍧Like a wanderer he wanders the streets of Sumeru, his face hidden by his hat. He may think he isn't human but you don't think that at all, as he gets lost in the crowd of people in the market, just like any of us.

🍧Bambi goes grocery shopping. Just how many times does this guy argue with people over the quality of pumpkins?

🍧His bag tears at the bottom and all his vegetables fall to the ground. He swears loudly, in public, and gets down on his knees, thinking of what he should do. He places all his vegetables in his hat. Luckily, a granny gives him a more rezistent bag because walking the bazaar with a huge hat full of vegetables is stupid enough to raise attention.

🍧So those vegetables are actually for a soup he's making, out in the wild. You watch his fingers try to lit up a match. He breaks the third match in half already, but he's forcing patience onto himself.

🍧When he lits up the fire and prepares the pot, a wild animal steals a veggie from his bag. He turns around and chases it screaming, then forgets about it.

🍧Bambi gets rocks in his shoes often, and starts shaking his foot, making those annoyance mouth sounds. Many times he has to take off his shoes to remove the rocks.

🍧When he eats something, usually dogs gather around him and he waves his hands at them to send them away, but they come back. He throws his food to the dogs and walks away.

🍧He trips over and swears the ground or whatever. He lifts himself up and flies because he got mad at the ability to walk.

🍧You watch him from a distance as he's taking his shoes and socks off, to get into the water of a lake. Birds usually gather at the shore of the water and he likes to throw water at them with his feet, laughing meanly while they fly away.

🍧Bambi is a weird name for someone as mean as him.

Venti

🍧Aside from seeing him very often at Angel's share, drinking wine all alone, he has other moments that make him just as human as everyone else, just what is the difference between an archon and a human, if it's to exclude immortality?

🍧You notice how lonely he actually seems. All by himself, with a glass of wine, staring in the distance, or when he walks through Mondstadt just like an usual citizen, and he sprains his ankle on the stairs. That must be painful. He cries in pain while people nearby approach him worryingly. Yeah, embarrassing things happen, is part of life. He's fine, he says he's fine, as he walks limping.

🍧And when he cuts apples with a penknife at Windrise and eats all by himself, is just another simple view that you like to see.

🍧He writes poems and you know it because you saw them exposed at Lisa's library, signed as "A bard". You recognize his handwriting. You're even more sure he's the one writting them when at Angel's share, in the mundane noises of other people passing and talking, he's concentrating on a piece of paper. When you approach, you see he's writtings lyrics.

🍧A quiet place is always best for inspiration waves and no interruptions, and is mostly Windrise, but coincidence makes it that you find him in some other places as well.

🍧Venti recites his poetries in whispers to make sure the rhyme fits well, he writes and mumbles it all over again until it is just right.

🍧In the morning, while humming melodies, he detangles his messy hair and braids it back, making your morning dreams sweeter.

🍧He throws up after drinking, which is rare. But it happens and is awful for him and everyone hearing it.

🍧Not so pretty about him is the strong smell of alcohol that hits you when you approach him at Angel's share, and he's already past many wine shots.

Author's note:

🍮 Everytime you give into cuddles with her, she gives into it more. If she doesn't respond to it, you know there's something wrong, she's sad, or angry.

🍮Big spoon, little spoon, for her is irrelevant. She'll just cuddle the hell out of you in the weirdest positions.

🍮 Using you as a support pillow when sleeping, Hu-tao is always laying with a leg over you. When she gets bored she turns around with your blanket. Argue over the blanket now.

🍮 In the morning you see her walking around in underwear with ghost patterns and socks, and when you wake up she needs to throw herself in bed like a wrestler to welcome your awake. Please dodge it while you can. (Or don't)

🍮 She baby talks to you while cuddling and patting you. You must love it. You're her chimpunk.

🍮 She falls out of bed.

🍮 She's open to everything, she's a crazy girl who can be crazy with you because she feels safe.

🍮 Eating seeds while cuddling with you: the bed, your chest and neck full of seeds...

🍮 Like a samurai, she seems distant at first, and doesn't seem like involving into physical touch that much.

🍮 Is easy to win her heart. Take care of it.

🍮 Once you got into cuddles with her, she's a bear. She won't notice she is holding you "captive" until you tell her and she'll apologize. She is surprisingly very warm. She heats you up with her body during nights.

🍮 Once your in her arms, you're forever in her arms.

🍮After an intense training, Ayaka silently comes to you, sits in your lap and holds your head on her boobs.

🍮 She invites herself on your lap many times, leans on your back, reaches her hands around your neck; give her a big hug.

🍮 If you get that close, you can get under her dress to cuddle her, maybe.

🍮 Her energy is serene and warm. She's one of the calmest person you know. She smells like glittering nights and lavander, and her hair reminds you of the Moon.

🍮 You don't feel it when she comes into bed. She's as subtil as the night, and you only feel the pillows and sheets moving under while she takes you under her protective arms.

🍮 A big spoon most of the time, but secretly, she wants to feel protected and loved. She's the woman of your life. She'll forever protect you and cherish you.

🍮 You wonder what's inside a samurai woman's heart, and she makes you want to unlock all of her secrets.

🍮Kokomi loves cuddles because it helps her concentrate reading.

🍮She tries to seem formal and polite but she's actually a very touchy person, with an adorable desire to cuddle whenever given the chance.

🍮Kokomi is the sweet girl that smells soft and tender, like white pearls and cocolino (kokolino). She's an all day pijama girl who uses body butter after every shower to feel good in her skin.

🍮The first thing you love when cuddling Kokomi is her alluring smells, other than her soft and touchable body. Her long thin hands feel feather like on your body.

🍮When she doesn't notice, Kokomi will accidentally grip and hold you too hard, her hands turning from feather soft to dumbbell hard. She gets a little too excited sometimes and she notices fast and apologizes for it repeatedly.

🍮Her hair is tied in a bun while she's eating bird egg sushis, in her bears pijamas, reading a book entitled "The secrets of war".

🍮 Kokomi is a clean girl in a messy burrow, but you two manage well in her little house. As messy as it is, it's what makes it comfy. The smell of old and fresh books combined, together with Komomi's unique scent and gentle voice. Kokomi definetely prefers to be a little spoon. The strong leader wants to feel the warmth and be vulnerable in someone's arms when she's with you.

🍮Kokomi loves feet massages, after long days of standing up, she'll trust you with her feet, which are tensed, and become softer after your rubs. She wouldn't let anyone touch her feet but you.

🍮She gives you foot massage back. Kokomi is ambitious to give back what she receives and make you feel good too. Her soft and gentle hands feel so good on your feet, and she progressively starts rubbing harder and applying pressure. She's so careful with you.

🍮 Body massage is always involved in cuddling, Kokomi's back is formidable. She moves her hair to the side and reveals her naked back all for you. You massage her pinkish white skin for both of your satisfaction. The texture of her skin is purely relaxing.

🍮 And sleeping with Kokomi is a beautiful dream, your legs always end up intertwined, she rubs your feet with hers out of deep affection or to warm you up on cold nights.

🍮 in the mornings, she applies cream on her face and hands, and comes to you like a mama bird to put cream on your face and hands too.

🍮Kokolina.

🍮Author's note:

Had most fun on Kokomi's part. I love it.

Update on life: All I wanna say is that summer depression is the worst. I am back after losing my account and getting it back, (THANKS TO JOHNNY FROM TUMBLR SUPPORT! I LOVE YOU JOHNNY!) And also I got kidnapped by aliens. If you know you have a request left in my box, don't worry. I'll get to it.

He's gonna tease you with this one, because he can fly himself up with his anemo powers. In fact you feel like is useless to even play this with him.

But he's gonna make this fair for you and not use his anemo powers, in case you don't have an anemo vision or other powers that can allow you to compete with his godly ones.

Once he's not allowed to use Anemo, he's a loser. He panics and can't find a good spot in those 5 seconds. When he does, he manages to fall. He climbed a big barrel of wine, and he was struggling to climb it for a good while, with his foot on the top of it and the other leg hanging. You end up helping him by pushing him by his ass because you have mercy.

He thought he won once and proudly made a "Hehe" sound, just before a cat jumped in his head, hissing.

He's not bad at climbing trees, but the problem is that he can't get down without his Anemo powers.

He's faking that he can't climb places just so that you get to carry him and lift him. And you know that very well.

"I can't climb that. You're not gonna let me die in lava are you? :(("

You can go ahead and princess carry and lift Venti up. You probably only want to play this game for the sake of doing that. You get to touch his thighs pretty often.

"I'll lift you up Venti, don't bother your beautiful princess ankles."

He sprains his ankles.

Climbs the tables at Angel's share and gets beaten up with a broom by Diluc. He just cleaned those.

Also climbs the stair margin at angel's share and he is gliding down on it. Another broom on his back. Those were cleaned.

Cyno

Takes it more seriously than you thought he would.

He starts doing calisthenics on everything, everywhere, anyhow. He'll find a way. Somehow, he'll always find a way to stay suspended in the air.

You thought it would be impossible to play in the plain desert, with only one vertical rock around. What is he gonna do? Glue himself on the rock? There is no way he wou—

His spear is sitting with one part stuck in the sand, the other leaned against the rock, on the spear he's standing in his HANDS in perfect equilibrium, using a lot of muscle groups for that.

The desert is not so fun to play this in. But the forests and cities in Sumeru come with a lot of possibilities.

So he will always hold himself up, dead hanging, if possible, and because you want him to lose and stop being such a perfect calisthener, you grab onto his legs and dead hang too. Good workout. Now forest rangers and akademiya students are gonna walk past you and wonder what are you doing. What is General Mahamatra doing? Must be some serious workout.

It slowly becomes workout routines and you don't even realize it, neither Cyno. You're now doing calisthenics in all kinds of positions.

"Tighnari. There is this new game I like."

He is dead hanging by a tree branch, with you climbed on his legs, and he lifts his legs up, training his legs and abdomen.

Once is your turn, wether you can handle or not, I don't think you can really escape it because he's also gonna dead hang on you.

Tighnari doesn't even bother to bring this up. He ignores when he sees you and Cyno playing floor is lava with calisthenic workouts.

Tighnari

Got lured into the game by seeing you and Cyno go crazy with calisthenics all around the forest, or you convinced him.

"Don't hurt yourself."

Thinks the game is embarrassing at first.

But he's a happy fox, he's not gonna hesitate much if all he has to do is climb trees. He's good at climbing trees. He always climbs random trees at times and Cyno finds him sitting there for no particular reason.

You don't even get to find a place because you already see him up in a tree, staring down at you. He's a winner.

If you get Cyno to play with you two, Tighnari is irritated by Cyno's need to be extra with his calisthenic positions, but secretly, he likes it.

You can dead hang with him too. But he's not got such strength as Cyno to last for a long time if you're hanging by his waist or legs.

He's probably the one used as workout material by both you and Cyno. But he's a sly fox and can use you or Cyno as ladders to climb up trees. Following his own interests. You and Cyno can stay there and die in the lava, together with his jokes and everything. He hits you with the tail in the face by mistake.

You accidentally drop him in the water a few times, and when there's not enough space on a spot, you both trip and fall in the water and he swims out, and had to dry his wet tail. You laugh at his wet tail.

You then get chased by a fox with wet tail.

"I'll show you!"

Wanderer

"What the HELL is that?" You want him to play games with you? "HA! You're such a baby!" He ends up playing it. He's a baby too.

His superiority complex is pleased. He can now just rise himself above you and laugh at you, worm, who's on the ground.

You tell him to play without his anemo powers and he didn't accept it at first.

"The rules are that I don't touch the ground! WHAT DO you want?"

Once you two are playing without powers from visions, he's really agile and fast, but If you follow his place he's gonna push you down so that you fall in the lava. Then he laughs. He's so kind.🩵

He even follows you when there aren't many possibilities around, and he pushes you off! He's definitely putting you as his first priority.🩵

Sits on a Hilichurl tower with his legs crossed like a queen and looks down at you, who didn't manage to climb up. Then a Hilichurl throws an apple in his head.

You push him off as well. You pull him by the legs and grab him off. If you can't win, neither should he. So it turns into stupid fights. You grab him by his clothes and you accidentally almost pull his pants off.

You also grab his foot and the shoe slips off from how much force you were putting into, while he was holding himself by that tree with all the stubbornness in the world.

"That's what you get. Stay with the shoe."

"Now put it back." And Cinderella raises his foot for you to put the shoe on.

Xiao

Oh, another calisthenics practicer.

"Games. You want to play with me..."

He makes a promise that he'll play with you and he keeps it. You tell him the rules, and he finds it fair simple.

"Like mortals. I get it."

He just stands there prepared and waits for you to start.

He's agile and strong and puts too much effort into a simple game, because of getting used to be tense and ready to fight all the time.

"Not gonna leave you die in the lava." And he misses the point of the game by carrying you under his armpit when he finds a spot.

After playing a few times, he becomes the one to ask you to play together, which is unexpected.

"Can we play that game again? I don't remember how it was called."

You watch him doing pull ups on a bar, so you're now going crazy to hold yourself by his waist and him to easily do pull ups with you.

When it's about moving around without touching the ground, he jumps. And if the distance is too long or high for you, he's gonna carry you.

Xiao is more of a parkour practicer, like Spider-man, like Batman at night.

He is moving from hand to hand on high up bridges with wood planks.

He doesn't stand in place, he's fast. He's pole vaulting his way, Pole vault which is a sport in which you jump high with the help of a long stick.

Ayaka

If you're happy, she is happy so she doesn't mind playing with you.

She uses her ice vision to make an ice platform under the ground.

"This is not how we play? But is ice. Ice beats lava."

Instead of you two picking up different spots, fate makes it that you both choose the same one by coincidence, and you just awkwardly run together and climb together. And the coincidence keeps repeating, she's just thinking of the same thing as you.

She's a warrior with a katana so she must be physically strong enough to climb up high places.

She falls on you once. Didn't expect her to feel that heavy.

Then she comes with the idea of stepping in water. She can't lose if she's in water. You cry when you see her in the water with the socks on.

You end up racing with her to who goes first to climb up trees.

She wants to lift you up by your waist so that you reach first. Not that you can't climb on your own, she just likes to lift you.

Hu tao

She's the lava in the game.

She is making fire on the ground just to scare you, because is funny.

"Ashes to ashes! There's a 10% funeral discount if you are ashes."

She is the one to count and it makes you run for your life. She runs after you and you scream and then she screams and you scream again.

You climb on the same spot as her and she shakes you until you fall. Making things interesting.

"Come on! Let's climb the abandoned haunted houses at night and whoever doesn't climb in time has to take a back slap from the other."

You get back slapped because you didn't climb in time. Her palm is heavy.

The house roof is old and the tiles slide down with her, making noises that awakes the grumpy old man that lives near.

She swings on trees branches and stands upside down. You climb trees and houses together and is hard to get down everytime.

She lets her imagination run wild and rushes you to climb faster because the lava is coming from the east.

"We need to climb higher! The lava is raising, Liyue is covered! There is no escape, but to spend our night time on the roof till sunrise!"

You both try to move without interacting with the ground, jumping from rock to rock, using her spear to jump, walking on the margins of the houses.

If she fails she's gonna get in her role, all dramatic, and say that she's dead in the lava now. Soap opera.

People are looking at you both running in the streets of Liyue because apparently lava is soon coming to drown the city.

🍮Author's note: Happy Saturday Easter for Orthodox! I am planning on finishing all the requests soon.

🍮 "Well, you're beautiful and sexy aren't you?

🍮 Tighnari's ears twitched and stiffened up, listening with investment while he was at the same time preoccupied with peeling a mushroom.

🍮 Your eyes sparkle as if you've been waiting for this moment, and you do a dramatic gesture with your hands.

🍮 "ME. If I'm hot, THEN have you seen my boyfriend?! He's the hottest! He's as beautiful as a prince! Greens and flowers grow everywhere he's put foot! His gaze is enough to revive anything."

🍮 You entered a stage of yourself where you can't be stopped ranting about your deep love for Tighnari, you're so dedicated to this that you have no idea Tighnari just came closer. Your words flattered him over the limits, warming his soul up.

🍮 The forest ranger who was flirting with you, was so invested in listening to your detailed descriptions and praises that their mouth was half open.

🍮 You both look at the Forest watcher when he cleared his throat.

🍮"Shouldn't you be on duty? Your shift isn't finished yet. Come on, this forest isn't gonna do its own patrols." Tighnari firmly tells the other forest ranger who nodded, apologized and walked away after they said "bye" to you.

🍮 You look at Tighnari with a stupid face, confused of whether he heard your conversation or not. You're wondering how did he manage to be so silent and sneaky. But you aren't ashamed about what you said. Maybe you're just a little extra.

🍮 "Tighnari..." Your innocent smile on your face is contagious and makes him smile as well. "You look so good in the sun light." You compliment him as to take the attention off the earlier conversation about him.

🍮 Initially, Tighnari wouldn't want to bring it up in case you don't know he heard it, to not put you in a vulnerable situation, but he felt like reciprocating those feelings. He just doesn't know how.

🍮 "Thank you my little mushroom! You really don't have to tell me so many compliments, it makes me all emotional."

🍮 "I refuse. My prince!" And you hug him close, while he holds you tight immediately, you feel his fresh tree smell. He smells so good.

🍮 Tighnari rubs your back and you see his tail wagging eagerly, over his shoulder. Your curiosity wins you over and you bring the topic up, asking him for how long has he been there. He admits it that he heard you, his ears twitch and stiffen up again, as he moves the mushroom in his hand.

🍮 "I told you, is not as if I greens and flowers grow wherever I walk, you're describing me as some kind of prince in a book. And, you're not less hot or less beautiful than me, not at all! You're flattering me too much." Tighnari sighs and as he's absently arranging your hair, scarf and clothes.

🍮 The mushroom he had in his bag is given to you as a gift. But he also gave you a detailed explanation about the mushroom's properties and how it's not edible, but just very popular for decorative purposes.

Cyno

🍮 In the Akademiya, around 10 am, you are studying books in the library. There comes the flirty student who can't take their eyes off your smart face.

🍮 Once you take a break, you get company. They ask you about your study degrees, your interests and your essays. You're flattened by how much of a good impression they have about you. You get to talk about history and physics. It all keeps going 'till you realize you're subtly being hit on, and even get compliments.

🍮 Mahamatra Cyno was already listening to a big part of your conversation, while browsing books, unconcerned. You were well aware he was in the area. Cyno likes listening to other people's conversations from time to time. He enjoys the background noise of people talking while he's preoccupied with something else.

🍮 "Intelligence makes you sexy. And not only you have an amazing intelect but you hold beauty and charm on your face."

🍮 Once Cyno felt the heavy hints of the student hitting on you, he let go of what he wasn't doing, and came to sit at the table with both of you.

🍮 He continues the previous topic about the theory of evolution. He's an absolver of the Alademiya himself, after all. He's being a little boaster sometimes but you know he would never admit it. Once the silence takes over the table, you ask:

🍮 "Have you ever seen my boyfriend?"

🍮 "Oh, I didn't know you have a boyfriend! Of course I've never seen him"

🍮 "He's the most gorgeous. A true beauty. He could advertise man modeling."

🍮 "REALLY?"

🍮 Out of words, Cyno sits there looking at you both as if he's missing something. What are you trying to do?

🍮 "Yeeees. And he has scarlet eyes. Like the color of sunset."

🍮 Cyno feels like he's being advertised. The student falls for it and listens, invested, not picking up the signs at all.

🍮 "He is a master in martial arts, and he is really funny and has amazing jokes. He has a lean body, and long white hair."

🍮 "WHO IS HE?"

🍮 You look at Cyno and Cyno looks at you. They still don't get it. Is like you're describing some kind of prince they can't believe he exists. You notice a blush on Cyno's face.

🍮 After a few seconds of looking at Cyno, they get a revelation and realized that the mantra is your boyfriend. Which is cool as it is. You're smiling wide, while trying to not laugh too much. They're so stupid is funny.

🍮 "I am so sorry. I am so blind!"

🍮 "No, is fine, really, I didn't expect it either." Cyno reassures them.

🍮 "It has been a honour to talk with Mahamatra Cyno. And you too."

🍮 Your new friend has to get going now, and you remain alone with Cyno at the table.

🍮 "Too much... Praising..."

🍮 "No, is the raw truth." You look at Cyno ad he can't help but smile. He's embarrassed. Is so cute when he tries to hide it.

🍮 "Thank you for the kind words. It got me really out of guard. Poor guy was not taking your hints at all. It was funny."

🍮 "You're funnier."

🍮 "Okay babe, now it really is too much." He gestures with his hand. He then makes a pause before continuing: "I should have told them one of my jokes..."

🍮 You pat his thighs affectionately and he leans his head on you so fast. He wonders how can he make up for your spoiling love.

Venti

🍮 A young woman got her eyes on you dancing under the Anemo Archon statue in Mondstad. There was music coming from somewhere, like a gentle breeze of harmony.

🍮 On accident you bumped into her when spinning and she caught you and laughed at your silliness, her skin shining in the sun.

🍮 "Hello!"

🍮 You take a while to respond back, still getting your thoughts together: "Hi!"

🍮 "I couldn't help but notice how gorgeous you are. You're dancing by yourself?"

🍮 "I do that often here. When there's no one around." You scratch the back of your head, embarrassed. Your blushing face was even more noticable in the sun. The music didn't stop once. Neither did the bath of compliments. If she would have any idea your boyfriend was up there... Being the source of the beautiful sounds. You talk for a while.

🍮 "Just...Where is this music coming from? Is amazing. It fits you completely. Is like your theme."

🍮 "Is... my boyfriend. He is gifted with the skill of music. He has an angelic voice as well, but he doesn't always feel like singing."

🍮 "I love music." She takes a short pause before asking: "Happy couple?" And she laughs with warmth. "Am i right?"

🍮 "Yes. He's got the face of an angel. If only he knew how beautiful he is, he doesn't appreciate himself enough."

🍮 You knew he was up there and that he could hear you. The music stops.

🍮 "Where is he? Is he hiding somewhere?" The woman is confused, looking all around. However while she was looking up, Venti was already flying behind her, landing on the ground.

🍮 "It seems to me or am I the subject of discussion?" He approached the both of you, with confident steps. "Did someone call for me?"

🍮 "Oh, you were up there? How did you get down so fast?" The woman asks, full of curiosity.

🍮 "Uh... I have strong ankles!" To which he replies with a giggle. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am the gifted boyfriend with the angel face." He already has taken your praises all over his head. This bastard. You love him.

🍮 "And this is my windblume, and my muse, and the source of my godly inspiration."

🍮 "Venti."

🍮 "Oh yeah! How impolite, I almost forgot to say my name. You can call me Venti."

🍮 "Nice to meet you, Venti! You got an amazing partner, and dancer too."

🍮 "I think we should all three go for a cup of wine at angel's share." And he looks at you for confirmation, because you usually pay for the wine...

🍮 "If... that's okay with windblume, of course. Same as you."

🍮 And later that evening when your new friend had to go home, you and Venti had a few minutes of silence while sitting together at the table and looking around at trees and sunset.

🍮 "so... angel face..." He says, absently. "Where do you even come with those? I like it. I told you, you should write poetries."

🍮 "OH! is it because I drink at Angel's share? Or maybe it is just a funny coincidence."

🍮 "Now you will think about it for the whole week." You say and take a glance at your silly boyfriend who is sweet gazing at you.

🍮 "Is because you really have an angel face. But now, this makes it even better. I guess Angel's share is named after you!" Your hand strokes his, tenderly.

🍮 "I am an angel, but you're god." He declares, before lifting the wine glass to his mouth.

🍮 "you're a bit touched by alcohol." You check his forehead and stroke his head.

🍮 "I like to see the deep meaning in things. And I also like to keep words in my heart for as long as possible. Come here, why don't you sit in my lap?" He shows you his thighs.

🍮 "Venti..."

🍮 "Yes?"

🍮 "If I sit on your lap I will break your thighs, baby."

🍮 "I got strong ankles."
