The stage lit up, bright lights showering everything and everyone. Traditionally, at every concert, fog started appearing, oozing from the stage. You smiled and let go of your sisters hand, ignoring everything else. You brung your hands together and clasped tightly onto one another. As the fog left, the members of the stage appeared, right next to there instruments. You gazed around the stage, searching for him, searching for Venti, and you finally found him. You almost had a heart attack. Your head pounded and you got sweaty, your face heating up, possibly blushing.

Your little sister, who you almost forgot existed, tugged onto your shirt. "Hey. I said no fainting or anything!" she scolded. You muttered dreamily, not hearing anything. You watched Venti's every movement. Is that creepy? Finally, Aether grabbed the microphone and started greeting everyone. You didn't hear much, but you grasped most of it. Venti just smiled and waved at the crowd, then he turned towards Aether and his smile faltered, looking as if he wanted to grab the mic for himself and say something.

"Thanks everyone for coming to our concert tonight! Especially to those who had to drive a long way." The blonde haired male said. The Aether fangirls screamed, saying things like, "MARRY ME AETHER!" or "YOUR SO HOT!" Stuff that you would really only say towards Venti if you had the confidence.

"Alright then, now we will start our first song!~ This is going out to all of you lovely ladies." He laughed, putting the microphone done. You rolled your eyes. As if what seemed like forever, Aether finally got to his spot on the stage.

Xiao and Kazuha began the song, followed by Venti's gorgeous lyre. Aether started signing. The song sounded amazing, and it would be even better if it was only Venti playing. Disobeying your sisters orders, you almost fainted from the sight of Venti playing in person. "WE LOVE YOU XIAO!" someone screamed, as another yelled directly to Kazuha, "YOUR AMAZING!" You thought about screaming something to Venti, but you might have embarrassed yourself if you did. Before you got the chance, someone else said, "GREAT JOB VENTI!" Which, ironically, was your little sister.

Finally taking your eyes off of Venti, you glared at your little sister, wanting to strangle her. "Shut up." you hissed. You turned back to the stage, not catching your little sister sticking her tongue out at you, watching Venti move his fingers. Honestly, it was amazing. He's so talented, beautiful... a genius. The best Harp player in the world.

Your eyes might as well have been hearts. As you dreamt on, you hadn't noticed the song ended. "Next up, we have another song that will only be played by our beloved member, Venti!" Aether said happily. You were shocked for a moment. Only Venti? Are you serious? Is this a dream? A fantasy? Venti smiled to the crowd as they murmured, wondering why the "quietest" member in the group would be playing himself. Soon, they shushed, which you were thankful for. You wanted to hear the whole song, which you would save to your Spotify playlist for sure.

The song began. Beautiful sounds came from the Harp, he plucked and plucked, he closed his eyes, as if he was concentrating deeply. Some people yawned, getting bored and deciding if they should leave. Curse those people anyway. You watched the whole performance, engraving it into your mind to never forget for eternity. As if music notes came to life, you envisioned a moment of which the notes flew off the harp the second he plucked, and all the notes gathered together forming a flower. A Cecilia. Kind of like a anime or Disney scene.

Unfortunately, the song came to an end, and only a few bunch of people clapped, including you. Venti smiled once more, but he looked a little upset. Maybe because he believed he wasn't the best player. Maybe because not a lot of people clapped. At that moment, I wanted to climb up there, give him a big hug, and tell him he did amazing, maybe kiss him in the process. You smiled, looking up to him and whispering, "Good job, my lovely harpist."

Hopefully he heard it. Most likely not, but even so, you would get the chance later at the Meet n' Greet, if your little sister didn't get tired.

——————————

"Y/N, can we go home now?" Is what your little sister said the moment you guys left the stadium. "No, because we need to go to the Meet n' Greet!" you said, basically floating from your excitement. She groaned loudly, which caused some people to look towards them. "Shut up, and lets go. It's the only chance I have to meet him," you said. Your little sister giggled. "Ooh, you mean your boyfriend?" You instantly turned a bright shade of pink. "Stop it!" You dragged your little sister along again to the room of where the Meet n' Greet was taking place.

You arrived. And oh boy, there was way more people then at the concert itself. There were booths for each member, so you had to put your little sister on your shoulder for her to find his booth, she then pointed to his booth. Supposedly your boyfriends booth. You grinned, then ran over, getting in line. There was a long line, but you knew for sure it was going to be worth it.

After 30 minutes of waiting, it was almost your turn. You felt like running out of line and going back to the end. You were nervous. What am I supposed to say when I see him? Do I have to give him something to sign? Your little sister was on her iPad, carefree, not worrying about anything... you wish you were like that sometimes. Especially now. You took another deep breath like earlier, and watched ahead of you. Maybe you could do something similar to the person ahead of you. The room was really loud, so you couldn't hear much. So you decided to move up a little closer.

"Hey there!" Venti giggled, greeting the person. Oh my archons, is that really his voice? You haven't heard it before, but you were instantly in love. "Hello," the person said bluntly. "Can you sign this?" they said, giving him a piece of paper of some sort. "Of course!" Venti said, taking it. He got out a pen, and scribbled on his signature. "Thanks for coming~" Venti said, waving. Was that all you did at a Meet n' Greet? You had so many questions. You wanted to know him, and this was probably your only chance for awhile.

One more person, then it's your turn. You felt suffocated, you couldn't breathe. You wanted to try the deep breaths, but you were too nervous to think straight. You decided to hear what the person was going to say, so at least you could have a different example.

"Hello!" Venti said once more. "Oh my archons! I'm such a big fan of yours. I'm so glad your here!" The girl said. Venti smiled. "Well of course! What can I do for you?" he said. "I had a couple of questions I was hoping you could answer!" she said. Venti nodded, folding his arms. You could tell it was gonna take awhile, because she took out a notebook, so you decided to stop eavesdropping.

Maybe you could ask him some questions when it was your turn? What if you made a total fool of yourself? Oh archons, you were so nervous.

Before you knew it, the girl had left the line. "Next?" Venti called. You shuddered. You were next.
