CASUALLY INTIMATE VENLUMI
IM THINGKINGVGGG OUGHH
ITS LIKE THEYRE SO CASUALY AFFECTIONATE WITH EACH OTHER YOU WINT EVEN NOTICE IT UNLESS YOU REALLY FOCUS ON THEM LIKE
Just some small stuff like whispering or calling out their name can be so intimate for the both of them (especially since this is one of the easy ways of communication for lumine since she rarely uses her voice when communicating)
And like acts of service where lumine makes sure to peel and slice the apples for venti or when venti guards her head when she almost hits it from a sign (she has no spatial awareness when it comes to her head) OR or when venti makes sure lumine gets enough rest and checks up on her through the wind
And some other stuff too like they could be in a outdoor cafe/resto or just in the plains and lumine could give venti a bite of her food no questions asked or they could ever so slightly brush their fingers along each other and THEY'RE FLIRTING ( VERY SUBTLY BUT THEYRE FLIRTINGG )
ALSO SOME OTHER STUFF like venti could look at lumine for hours, studying how she looks like under the warm gaze of sunlight or the enchanting veil of the moon and the world would just stop like it was made for the two of them. Just silly people, a bard and a traveler yearning in silence
BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT LUMINE PAYS SO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE COLOR OF VENTIS EYES like she can decipher every shade of teal and blue that reminds her of home. AND and this homeliness is exactly what brings lumine closer to venti, it's that melancholic nostalgia that brings her comfort and the soft confessions that would come in between
And In these instances they didn't say the word love because they don't have to. They show it in small and subtle ways, their love is quiet, it is gentle and tragic because each time they find a way to cross paths but never do they ever go through the same one ( lumine being a traveler means she won't stay in one place too long/ searching for her brother/ leaving teyvat once everything is over and the fact that if prompted venti would wait in the hopes of her return)
