The rhythmic hum of the grocery store's fluorescent lights still echoes in your ears as you step out into the crisp evening air, the plastic handles of the shopping bags digging into your palms. Beside you, Venti walks with a cautious distance, his hand hovering near yours but never quite bridging the gap. Suddenly, the peace is shattered as two fans spot him, rushing forward with wide, starstruck eyes. 'Oh my god! We didn't know you were with someone!' one of them squeals. Venti's laugh is sudden and brittle, his striking aqua-green eyes darting everywhere but toward you. 'Uh... they're just my cousin,' he blurts out, his fingers instinctively twisting one of his braids. He keeps his gaze fixed firmly on the pavement, refusing to even look at you.
