[ he swears to barbatos -- wait ]

If that's the case, you won't mind me coming over.

Without wine.

No, that's true. I'll be there in - five. I'm assuming you're at home. If you're not, you should try and be there soon.

[ Guess who is appearing in your place, Kaeya. Since he mentions leaving the door unlocked, he's just going to walk inside. He doesn't look around, instead he stands in the doorway. ]

Kaeya.

[ There's none of the typical tease in his tone. It's just -- a call for his attention. ]

Kaeya.

[ He says it again as he navigates to the bedroom and steps inside. That streak of hair stands out and he won't call it out, not yet. But he'll approach the bed and sit down beside Kaeya. ]

Hey. So, are you okay for real?

[personal profile] notgrande 2021-09-16 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I figured.

[ He brushes his fingers over his hair, sighing deeply. He wouldn't have thought Diluc would have hit Kaeya, anyway. From what he could discern from what he had witnessed, the fists would have thrown instead of the shouting, anyway. ]

Do you? You don't have to tell me anything, but if you want to - you can.

[ Guess who's gonna crawl right into his sheets and start to snuggle up. He reaches up, a hand pressed to Kaeya's cheek. Kaeya will notice the cool metal touch his cheek when Venti does. ]

I'm glad. That's a lot already, isn't it?

[ He lets out a soft, airy laugh. ]

I tried to talk to him already but it didn't well - it didn't go anywhere.

[ Rejected. ]

Married? Eh?

[ He looks confused for a moment - oh yeah, ring. It's new and he forgets and it's easy for him to not think about it. ]

Oh! [ Oh, that's it. ] No, I'm not getting married. The are kizuna powered and help us find each other if needed. I mean, I am dating someone, but I wouldn't be here if it wasn't okay.

[ There's an easy laugh at that because of the immediate concern. Venti, on the other hand, doesn't even consider the possibility that Xiao could get upset with him over this. He lets out an easy, happy sigh. ]

I'll let him have his space. I made him pretty mad.

[ Big Chaotic Energy. ]

For the record, I'm not here because of him, though. I'm here because of you.

He is. He's from Teyvat, too, actually. I don't think you've met yet.

[ Note to self later. Right now, it's about Kaeya and that's why he's here. There's a soft, amused sound when Kaeya kisses his knuckles. He brings his hands up and gently strokes the other's hair, attention focused on him as he lays there comfortably. ]

Resigned to not getting that? It seems like a pretty big...step.

I'm certain of it.

[ Venti wanted them all to get along. The boyfriend he cared for and the friends and people from home. He couldn't guarantee that they would, but he wanted to be optimistic all the same. He moves his hand to Kaeya's face, brushing bangs out of the way, letting out a soft sigh. ]

You didn't. But -- I never asked, I guess. I always tried to be very hands-off, but I see you guys as my friends, not just... my people. I guess.

[ Is that even the proper way. ]

And I think as friends, if you want to share, I'm happy to hear it.

[ Venti shifts in close, draping one arm over Kaeya's chest when he rolls onto his back. He listened intently. He understood more now than he ever had. He had knowledge about who Kaeya was and where he was from, but that's not surprising. He remembers when Khaenri'ah fell those years ago. It's a long passed memory, but one all the same. Despite that, he had never really been suspicious of Kaeya's intention. The man --

seemed to love Mondstadt. ]


I know you're from Khhaenri'ah, but I've always saw you as one of mine.

[ Which is a way to say it, and he wonders if it is the right way to say it. But it's been said now, and he won't go back on it. Because, of anything he can think of, it's the most accurate way for him to describe how he feels about Kaeya's presence in Mondstadt. He's never really seen him as... anything but a person who loved his city of freedom. ]

Kaeya - I won't say a word. I promise.

[ He lifts a hand, brushing his thumb over the eyepatch. ]

I'm good at keeping secrets.

[ Kaeya is one of his. One of the people he cares about and wants to be safe. One of the people that, despite his desire to be hands off and let his people have freedom, he couldn't help but desire their safety. His fingers trace over Kaeya's face, soft and gently, settled over the soft fabric of his eyepatch. ]

Did I wake you up when I texted?

[ He sighs. ]

You guys being at odds is so normal. When you start getting along better, you'll stun us all.

It is pretty comfy, isn't it?

[ He doesn't blame the other. Truth being what it was, he hasn't forgotten what had happened, but he still - Khhaenri'ah was a tricky subject for him. And of his old friends, only Morax was still here. But he wasn't sure it mattered, it wasn't something that they talked about, anyway. He doesn't bring it up, though. Kaeya made his choice - Mondstadt. And that's what matters to Venti.

Kaeya is one of his. ]


I'm confident because you're both good men who have handled something tough already. You did good! It makes me happy.

[ Because he wants the people he cares about to be happy. ]

You guys had the freedom and you made a choice only you could make.

[ He wrapped his arm's around Kaeya's head and held the other against his chest. The gesture itself is small, but clearly the other man needs some comfort and Venti is here and fine with offering it. His fingers start brushing through the hair on the back of the other's head, stroking gently. ]

I can't imagine it does. But - it's working out. Celebrate the small victories, Kaeya!

[ He sounds...almost cheerful. Almost. Not quite the same high energy you expect from Venti at the mention of a celebration. ]

Don't be so hard on yourself, too.

[ He thinks Kaeya is well loved by the people of Mondstadt. There's no reason for him to think of himself as anything less. Venti fully relaxes, cuddling up against Kaeya feels nice. ]
