    Summary

    “Ah, but before I go… you… were kind of right, ehe!” Venti wriggled in place, removing his hat to rummage inside it. “Forcing you to listen to my new song isn’t the only reason why I’m here~”
    Before Xiao could feel any kind of way about this admission, Venti reached out to him with his hand closed into a fist, prompting him to offer his own palm up, confused. He was not expecting Venti to drop a small, black pebble on his waiting hand.
    “This is for you!”
    Bringing it up to his face, Xiao tried to see what was so special about the pebble, but it looked no different from the rocks he found on his patrol route. Just a normal black pebble, albeit rather polished.
    “What is this…?”
    “A gift!” at Xiao’s blank look, Venti added, sheepish, “It reminded me of you! See, it’s like your hair!”

    Or: Xiao, and the journey from a place to a home.

    Summary

    Xiao found himself at a loss.
    He had no where to turn to, what he could carry, and a pocket knife.

    But he was clever. And maybe being clever was enough.
    And maybe breaking into this particular house on this particular night was a bad idea.

    If this stranger - Venti - could make his life worse, Xiao didn't know how.

    Summary

    After death of his mother, Xiao finds himself fresh in a foreign country with his heart stuck somewhere back in Liyue.
    School, language barriers, and an older boy’s suffocating grip leave him more lost than ever, unable to recognize just how toxic things have become.

    Then he meets Venti - messy, infuriating and impossibly bright. A boy who seems to only live for music.

    Summary

    “Do you ever think about the future?” he asks, twirling one finger in an airy, open gesture. Xiao shakes his head and Venti huffs out a breath. “Humor me! What would you do if Morax strolled up tomorrow and said, ‘good work, my star disciple, your duty’s done'?”

    The answer comes automatically. “So long as demons persist, my duty shall not end.”

    Venti pulls his legs away, hugging his knees up to his chest. “Everything comes to an end someday,” he insists.


    It is the nature of wind to scatter. Without his gnosis, Venti begins to unravel.
