This is honestly depressing so you can only blame yourself for asking for it.
Voila! A break-up with a bad ending. (As bad as it gets)
Venti's/3rd person POV
"Venti I told you that-"
"And I told you that I can't let you go alone."
"I'm not a helpless kid!"
"That doesn't mean that you can't be in danger."
"Hah! And what would a weakling of an archon like you be able to do anyway?" Xiao scoffed in anger.
"Xiao, I-"
"Listen here now, Venti! I have had enough of your overprotectiveness!"
"Xiao, listen-"
"No, you listen. I said I had enough and I mean it. You never-"
"Alatus!"
I had said it before I could properly process what I was saying.
Shock filled his face hearing the name he had wished to forget.
"I understand how you feel, but-"
"No, Venti. You don't understand anything!"
I felt something snap.
This guy...
"You're acting like a stubborn kid! If you don't want to listen to what I have to say, you might as well leave!"
"You think I won't? If you're not around, at least I won't be treated like some helpless idiot anymore!"
He turned around, walking towards my inner world's door.
I felt anger rising within me. I was losing control.
"If you leave through that door now, you don't have to come back ever again!"
I regretted it the moment a said it, but it was already too late.
Xiao turned to look back only to utter the most destructive sentence I could have ever imagined.
"Fine by me." He spoke emotionlessly, slamming the door behind himself as he left.
Slam!
How could I have said something like that?
"No, Xiao wait-"
Huh?
No, no, no, no, no! Please don't do this!
He cut off the connection.
I couldn't feel where he was, how he was feeling. I wouldn't know whether he was alright.
"Please don't do this to me. I'm sorry, Xiao. I'm so sorry..."
It feels so quiet, so empty, so...
Alone.
"Please, Xiao..."
I can't take this.
I can't lose you. Not after everything.
Please...
I beg you.
"Come back to me."
He collapsed onto the ground, tears streaming down his face.
