He is walking away and you watch his figure fade into the horizon. Tears finally fall over as you turn away.
Call out to me and I would come back running want me back, say my name please Stop me, Archons just make me stop, make me stay and he would and so would you
But there are no voices heard. He doesn't turn back and neither do you. Your flames no longer burn bright and his eyes are empty as ever.
His hands are over your shoulder and his face is close to yours as he wonders if he's allowed anymore. He hesitates before closing the distance and pressing a kiss to your cheek. Eyes closed, his lips linger for more than they should but soon he pulls away.
His face gives away nothing but his eyes, his eyes tell you everything. You close yours as you take your leave and he watches you disappear.
And suddenly the winery master is busier than usual and the winds around Dawn Winery are harsher.
'It's for the better' is what he tells himself whenever he sees you walking around Mondstad. There were not many words and tears exchanged when it happened because maybe you too understood the inevitable. You pass each other like nothing more than strangers yet you stare when the either isn't looking.
It's only when he's intoxicated that he wonders if it truly was for the better.
Thousands of years and thousands of memories, yet there was always one that's on his mind.
"I suppose this is goodbye then." Your voice was shakey and that look in your eyes, he never wishes to see again. You stop as you walked past him and put a hand on his shoulder "see you around I guess" and you a smile.
It's been 15 days 4 hours 20 minutes and 31 seconds since then yes he counts and of course, he remembers.
Liyue harbour does not feel the same anymore, the lanterns don't seem as bright and he has never seen you around since that day.
