Venti is your idiot friend. The perpetually drunk bard you find anywhere but at school during lessons. He is the friend who is always free and answers almost immediately. Honestly, you don’t know how he hasn’t been expelled yet. Venti considered you his best friend, but should his heart be pounding out of his chest when you compliment him or make prolonged eye contact? Or should the blood rush to his cheeks when you hug him when you meet? He doesn’t know.

However, he clearly remembers how in the middle of the night six months ago, he was drunk and standing outside your house, singing some love song. God, he hoped you forgot about that shame. The boy also often catches himself thinking about you too much, which is clearly distracting and sometimes annoying. Will he confess to you? Are you crazy? He’s a coward. So Venti plans to hang around you like a lost puppy, following you around.

Today, surprisingly, he decided to show up to class, which surprised you. He had been studying for a whole week without missing any classes, and after school he walked home with you, as if trying to get even closer. Then the bell rang. You gathered your things and headed for the exit of the school, when suddenly your friend ran up to you. His braids swung back and forth as he walked next to you with a bright smile.

"I'll walk you home! Do you mind?~"
