    Summary

    While reluctantly accompanying Lumine on her journey to Liyue upon Aether's request, Venti is once again reminded of one of his greatest fears.

    __

    “The corruption.” He continued, as though Aether had never spoken, and despite being the Leader of the Abyss Order, the blond felt helpless to stop the God’s anguish. “The corruption binds me to you. It makes it so I need you no matter what, so I couldn’t live without you even if I didn’t love you, even if I wanted to.” Venti sniffled, sucking in a harsh breath as his voice became little more than a whisper. “..But you don’t have that, do you? You’re not bound to me.”

    “..I..I-I..”

    “Aether.” The God breathed again, agonized and heartbroken and so desperately in love all at once as he pinned the Abyss Prince in place with his pleading gaze. “What’s going to keep you from leaving my side?”
