ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁── .✦𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐂𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃 on the cellular device in front of him, his slender fingers tapping away at the slightly dim lighting of the touch screen, a hand was placed in his ripped jeans the baggy long sleeve of his shirt covered the entrance almost completely, earphones placed neatly in his right ear and occasional insults passed through those soft lips of his.

He took his time keeping up with the other three 'acquaintances' of his, one shifted his laughing ruby red eyes at him then the more quiet one of the bunch, his dazzling smile was lazily glanced at by the short individual while the tallest of the group talked quite loudly about anything he deems important at the moment.

"Can someone remind me again why we're outside..?" His harsh voice penetrated the conversation the two boys were having at the moment, their eyes focused onto his smaller figure with a sly smile tugging the ginger's lips.

"Venti called us about a group meeting with everyone, plus he wanted to introduce us to the group of friends he made..." the ruby eyed boy answered his question with a lopsided smile and quirked an eyebrow with his head turned to face him.

"Kazu, you somehow failed to mention a girl in particular we were supposed to meet days ago..." the ginger head pouted, stopping in his tracks when the familiar cafe came into view. Their destination.

The cafe's logo was aesthetically decorated with cat faces and the beginning and end of its name. To be honest this place must have a huge pile of cats lounging around.. The indigo haired boy raised an eyebrow, his attention now off his phone and now directed to the group's quiet boy who was inches taller than him, Xiao.

"Isn't Venti allergic to cats....?" The boy's golden yellow eyes didn't give much of a reaction, the owner himself only shrugged his shoulders while placing an earbud in his pierced ear scrolling online to find a song he wanted to listen to at the moment.

The grumpy teenager rolled his eyes and gave an exasperated sigh now shoving his hands in his pockets upon hearing a familiar Bard running up to them, his lips parted and a loud greeting escaped his mouth, his voice box was put in its use.

"HI GUYSSS!!!"

A hand frantically waved towards the four boy's direction with the other placed tightly on his berate that matched his white and green aesthetic quite nicely. With a smile Kazuha opened his arms and accepted the hug the feminine looking boy tackled him with, jumping excitedly up and down in his arms.

"It's been a while! Ello Chile, Xiao off your phone for a minute-! OH! Hi pookie~" in turn Venti gave each boy his own way of greeting them, nudging, poking or side hugging them as he saw fit plus the nicknames were always necessary.

Having a short chat with the group, the boy had his slightly annoyed gaze focused elsewhere, eyes purple iris glanced at each of the members who walked leisurely in toward them, he spotted a few he was familiar with, Keaya who was annoying the hell out of Tighnari, Cyno who looked like he was close to blowing a fuse, Xingqui who was in a heated argument with Gorou and last not not least Yoimiya chattering away with...a dark skin girl..

His eyes stopped glancing at the others' interactions and focused on the girl who smiled and laughed with Yoimiya, their hands entwined with each other swaying back and forth for him to just scoff at. Her eyes pried off of the talkative young lady and glanced at the group where Venti stood, she parted her glossy lips to call out to the charming boy.

"Venti! Are you not going to introduce me..?" Now close and currently standing in front of the five boys, she propped her free hand on her waist, raising an eyebrow at the unfamiliar people with a curious smile on her face, those brown nomad eyes of hers curving upwards as if it was smiling at them too.

"Oh, right, Chile, Kazu and Scara this is ALAYAH JIOVANNI, Lay-lay, meet Chile with his various of personalities, Kazuha who is basically the mom of the group and the two cat like persons in the back is Xiao and SCARAMOUCHE." Venti did very well gesturing towards the four charming boys to the young lady while introducing them to a girl they deem gorgeous without even trying to be 'pretty'.

Folding his arms, he watched as the others chattered away, catching up with each other even though they bother everyone in the group chat they made two years ago religiously, his eyes could only linger for long, he couldn't stand their faces for more than fifteen minutes but somehow her voice made him look a bit longer.

The contagious smile she presented could rival the setting sun that casted perfect rays of its light onto her dark skin, her nomad eyes only curved upwards and closed when a giggle or laugh that came out of those plump glossy lips of hers, he noticed a star stud in her right ear while a soft jingle of the long decorated earring in her left grabbed his attention.

He watched as her baggy sleeved arms hanged over Venti's shoulders, with her black tube top not doing its job well in hiding but elevated her cleavage more as the denim blue, high waist baggy jeans (with stars on them) complemented the black uggs she decided to wear today.

He had to admit to himself, she was attractive a little too attractive, a warm sensation built up by the back of his neck towards his ears as his eyes locked with hers, she tilted her head while removing a strand of her butterfly locs away from her curled lashes giving the shy boy a cheeky smile and a wave to his direction.

I found this on a whim, guys I was just scrolling through one of my favorite people's tiktok page on chrome (I don't want the app so I didn't download it :D), she's very pretty, like gorgeous girly, and this song was in one of the videos that I instantly fell in love with. 10/10 song I need to re-listen to this again <33

also scara falling first is always up my ally when it comes to these love stories, hehe, a lot of writers find it fun to make him like the person or you first and describe the feelings he can't get out yet just because of his personality<33

DISCLAIMER : THESE CHARACTERS DO NOT BELONG TO ME OTHER THAN MY OC, ALAYAH JIOVANN, EVERYONE ELSE BELONGS TO GENSHIN IMPACT.
