YOUR phone’s screen lit up, illuminating the dimly lit room of you and your boyfriend. It vibrated on the nightstand, making a buzzing noise that at first, barely — if not didn’t — wake you up.
Twisting in the silk sheets, you turned to your side and grabbed your phone; squinting upon the bright light shining on your face.
Someone was calling, how strange. At this time, so late in the night? Reading the Caller ID, you saw that it was Diluc of the Ragnvindr’s. Their father had a wine business that your mother had often ordered from. Diluc and you were well acquainted, so it was not surprising to see he had your number and you had his.
You swiped the call icon to the right, answering the call. “Hello, Diluc?” You spoke groggily.
“Ah Y/N, glad I still have the right number.” Diluc replies, chuckling. “I do hope I didn’t wake you up but Venti is your lover, right? Unless I’m mistaken, that is.” He asked, adding the last bit quickly.
You shook your head with a soft smile. “It’s alright, Diluc. And yes, Venti is my boyfriend, why do you ask?”
“Hm, I’m afraid he’s passed out drunk at the bar, Charles is currently attending at the stand while I’m in the backroom and your boyfriend on a mattress.” Diluc explained. You furrowed your eyebrows.
You knew your boyfriend was an alcoholic but you never thought he’d drink that much.
“Alright, let me get dressed and I’ll be there soon.” You sighed, “Thank you for informing me, Diluc.”
“Anytime, [name].” He said before hanging up.
You got yourself out of bed and hurriedly put some clothes on, even if it were just pants and a coat over your nightwear along with leather boots.
Taking a bag from your closet, you hung it around your shoulder before leaving your abode and getting into your car. Carefully, as you were still half asleep, you drove to the bar that Venti often visited.
It wasn’t too far but it was tedious to get there as you had to pass intersections and car crash scenes so some roads were closed. Either way, it only took you 20 minutes to get there.
Parking, you twisted the key out of the holder and shoved it into your jacket pocket. You walked out of your car, double checking to make sure you locked it and left no personally belongings. I mean, you’ll never know what’ll happen this late at night.
Your shoes clicked against the blacktop and sidewalk as you walked to enter the bar. When opening the door, you found yourself to be extremely out of place and overdressed. Still, you chided over to the bar with confidence — Chin up and shoulders broad.
“Ah, you must be [name]? Master Diluc told me to keep an eye out for an elegantly dressed person.” Charles greeted with a smile. You laughed, and nodded.
“Indeed I am, is Diluc still around?” You questioned standing politely among the drunkies who sat admiring your figure.
“Yep, he’s in the back. I’ll tell him you’ve arrived.” Charles told you before walking into the backroom. It wasn’t long before Diluc came out and escorted you to the backroom.
You’d be lying if you said that you didn’t feel any eyes on you and Diluc. It was no secret that you two had been involved together so everyone watched in envy, nosiness, or admiration.
It was obvious Diluc felt uncomfortable as well but neither of you said anything. Opening the door to the back, revealed your boyfriend as Diluc said, black out drunk.
You bit your bottom lip, and Diluc left you alone while he and Charles went to the bar. You sighed softly as you went towards Venti. Slowly, you put the back of your hand on his forehead. It was room temperature which was good.
Carefully, you put his arms around your shoulders as you supported him from the behind. No literally, from his behind. You had to hold him up with one arm which was fairly easy due to his scrawny figure. Don’t let that fool you in playful fights though, that man can pack one hell of a punch.
Opening the door, you walked towards the bar again. You opened your bag and placed not one, not two, not three, not four, but five pouches filled with Mora onto the countertop.
Diluc immediately declined with his mouth agape, that had to be triple the amount he made in profits a month. However, you insisted.
“I know we go a long way back [name], but please, this is your money. Besides you hadn’t even bought anything, there is no need for you to pay.” Diluc nearly shouts but yet he says it so quietly and calmly that it didn’t attract attention.
“Should I add more then? I have 5 more pouches with me right now. Plus, this is a thank you for taking care of Venti while I came over here and that hefty tab he must have.” You responded with a persistent tone that told Diluc you weren’t gonna leave unless he accepted the Mora, so he did but not at his own will let me tell you that.
Perks of working in the business industry is that you’d learn how to persuade people easily. With a sincerely thankful smile, you walked out the bar with Venti still on your back.
You hastily walked back to the car, putting Venti in the passenger seat next to the driver’s seat. You put the chair down slightly so that he could lay down while you drove back to the house — which was much more like a mansion rather than a simple two story house.
At a stop light, you looked over at Venti with pity. You’ve always wondered why he’d drink, especially hefty amounts. He said not to worry but you couldn’t help the anxious concern that would arise when he didn’t come home in time. You glanced up at the light signals, it flashed green indicating to go as soon as you looked up.
Stepping on the gas pedal, you tried to drive back smoothly to not disturb your boyfriend. Occasionally, you did look at Venti then back to the road then back to Venti but mainly at the road.
You pulled up into the driveway, not bothering to open the garage and park the car in there, along with the many other cars you guys owned.
Getting the car, you closed your side of the door softly before walking around to the other side and carrying Venti out and into the house bridal style. You closed his side of the door as well.
You strided over to the front door, by now, the sun was starting to rise and that meant work started soon. You made a list of everything you had to do. First, get Venti into a comfortable bed. Second, call your boss and tell her your situation. Third, make food for you and Venti.
Entering the code to the door, you opened it and carefully went up the staircases to the grand bedroom, aka, your guys’ room. Cautiously, you put your boyfriend down onto the bed, tucking him in and fixing the pillows beneath his head for it to be more comfortable.
Step one, done. Step two, started.
You dug for your phone inside the bag that was still on you. Entering your password, you went to the Contacts app and clicked on your boss’s profile to call her.
Luckily for you, she had picked up.
“Ah [name], what are you calling for?” Ningguang asked with almost a serious tone.
“Ningguang! I’m glad you picked up.” You started wandering around the mansion to go downstairs. “Unfortunately, my boyfriend has passed out and I won’t be able to make it to work so I can take care of him. If possible, I can pick up the documents and work on them from home. Anything else I can do tomorrow.”
Ningguang hummed in understanding. “I see, take care of your boyfriend, [name]. I’ll be expecting you at the office to pick up the documents.” She says before hanging up, not letting you squeeze in a ‘Thank You’.
As if on queue, the morning bodyguards have arrived. You heard the faintest of footsteps and the phone had given you a notification that the camera had picked up activity.
You opened the door and as expected, the bodyguards who had been assigned to your front door were there. Smiling, you greeted them.
“Beidou, Kazuha! May one of you guard Venti and I’s room? I have to get something from my work real quick.” You stated. Beidou and Kazuha looked at each other, almost as if communicating telepathically before one of them spoke up.
“I’ll go, stay safe Boss. Could you uh, also say hi to Lady Ningguang for me?” Beidou says, mumbling the last part.
“Oh?” You teased, amusement in your voice. “Kazuha, did you hear that?” You chuckled, light teasing heard in your voice.
Kazuha nodded his head with a grin. “In fact I did, would you like me to tell you what she said in case you forgot?”
Beidou shook her head with a growing blush on her face. “Ahh, you know what! Look at the time, [name], didn’t you say you had stuff to do?” She inserted, quickly trying to avert attention away from her little crush.
You chuckled as Beidou stepped into the house. Looking at Kazuha, the two of you smiled at each other before you went into your car for what seemed the millionth time today.
Getting into your car, it was like a rinse and repeat from earlier. Open the door, insert the key into its designated spot, twist, and drive to your destination. Except now, instead of your destination being the bar, it was the office building where you worked.
Backing out into the driveway, you maneuvered out into the road and drove to the office.
(wee woo timeskip to inside the office)
Finally, the elevator door had opened and you walked to the door of Ningguang’s office. You passed her secretary, Keqing, on your way. You two shared a brief wave and nod before you knocked at Ningguang’s office door. Hearing a, “Come in,” you opened the door and walked in.
“Ah, [name], welcome. Glad to see you came, how is your boyfriend doing?” She asks politely with a concerning undertone that would be hard to see if not paying close attention.
You smiled, “Ah, I’m not sure but one of my guards should be watching over him, do you have the documents prepared?”
Meanwhile with Beidou & Venti….
Pounding and heavy knocking was heard at the door while Beidou tried to keep it shut.
“Let me out!” Venti whined, his words almost slurred together and sounded extremely drowsy.
“Will you quit that? You’re going to break the door and then hurt yourself!” Beidou shouts, pulling at the door handle while Venti did the same.
Venti let out a groan of annoyance. “Just let me see [name]!”
“I don’t think you’d be able to see [name] if you give yourself a concussion from trying to break this goddamn door down!” Beidou answered back, and suddenly, the pounding from the other door stopped and the tug dissipated.
“Gosh, you have one hell of a grip for a rangy man, you know?” Beidou sighs, letting go of the door as well.
“I’ll take that as a compliment,” Venti says, muffled by the door.
“It, well, was it?” Beidou teases, in a friendly way.
“Can I see [name] now?” Venti questioned, whining. Beidou huffed and rubbed her nose bridge between her thumb and index.
Ningguang handed you the documents in a secured briefcase as you handled some.. Important affairs that cannot afford to be stolen.
“Thank you again, Ningguang. By tomorrow, I should have a few of these finished.” You said, graciously.
Ningguang took a sip of the tea on her desk, “Don’t worry about it too much [name].”
“Ah, and by the way, Beidou says hello.” You added, before walking out. Had you not known Ningguang for years, you wouldn’t be able to tell that she was blushing profusely.
You walked out of her studio. The heels of your shoes clicked and clacked, echoing on the silent walls of the halls. The sun, now completely out, shined in from the windows and on you as you walked out to your car with the suitcase handed to you.
Getting into the car, you placed the suitcase next to you. Time to really go back to your home sweet home…
(wowzer another timeskip)
Getting out of the car, you held the briefcase in your hand as you walked to the front door and were greeted by Kazuha who happily let you in.
Upon seeing you, Beidou let out a sigh of relief. “Thank god you’re back, boss.”
You chuckled lightly. “I hope Venti hasn’t given you any trouble.”
“You can.. Put it that way.” She replies between laughs.
“You can go back outside, if you’d like.” You told her before entering your bedroom.
Hearing the door open, Venti looked over quickly and his frown was quickly turned upside down. As soon as he moved to get up and hug you, you stopped him. And now the frown was back.
“You need to rest, Venti. Diluc told me you drank a little bit too much last night.” You stated to him firmly as you walked to neaten the pillows and the blanket.
Once you reached the edge of the bed, Venti wrapped his arms around your waist tightly and whined about missing you.
“Aah, [nameeee]! I missed youuu!”
You smiled softly at the wondrous voice of your boyfriend.
“I missed you too Venti, now please lay down before I walk out of here,” You cooed, making Venti groan and shove his head into your stomach.
“But I missed you! I want hugs!” Venti told you in quite a childish tone.
“You’ll get hugs when you no longer smell like Diluc’s tavern and you’ve gotten well from your hangover,” You replied while trying to pry his arms and head off of you.
“But I am well! Now come and kiss me!” He responded.
You rolled your eyes playfully. “Well, I can’t really kiss you if your head is buried in my waist.”
With that, he lifted his head and removed his arms. “Now will you kiss me?”
You smiled warmly and leaned down to kiss him. He put his hands around your neck to pull you in closer until he had to pull away to breathe.
“Are you happy now?” You whispered in his ear, teasingly.
He nodded his head slowly as you moved his bangs away and placed your hand on his forehead for a second.
“Mnh, yeah.” He whispered back, almost barely even talking.
