《Shades Of Red | RaNnett》Part 5: Ember in the Thunderstorm
Advertisement
-A few days after the last part-
Sitting in the Knights of Favonius' library, Razor tries to complete his homework about colors. He'd forgotten about it and Lisa was pressuring him, so he sat on a chair and tried to search through his head, looking for anything that was red. He stared at his paper and passed it up to his mentor that sat at the librarian's counter.
"Good job, sweetie," she said with a sweet smile, "I'm sorry for pressuring you so much these few days, it's just that you've seemed very distracted about something." Razor just stared for a few seconds, "Ri- right. Can... Razor leave now?" "Of course, sweetie. And I see that you've been taking my lessons to heart too." Razor nodded and took his leave as Lisa checked the paper that Razor turned in and wrote down her remarks.
'You care about that adventurer a lot, don't you? But I haven't seen him visit him recently. Do you think that it's your fault that he's in the cathedral?'
"Today's the day!" I said as I stretched my arms, "I finally get to leave this place." "With crutches that is," Barbara appeared behind me, "Be careful next time, alright?" "Yeah, yeah, I know. I'll be careful."
Right as I stepped outside, *tik* *tik* *tik*, "ugh, it's raining, just my luck." I continued walking, really slowly, it was a wet floor and I had crutches, not very easy to balance is it? Plus the lighting striking might scare me when I'm not expecting it to. If only someone was with me to maybe hold an umbrella(Wait, do they have umbrellas in Teyvat?) or help me walk, like Barbara, my dads, one of the sisters, Razor... wait- out of all my friends why did I think of him.

There I was, in the middle of town, and the thunderstorm wasn't too kind either, it was so hard to walk around, now I really wish someone was with me. "Well, at least, my vision keeps me from getting a co- ACHOO" 'Welp, I jinxed it.'
"I knew I should've brought an umbrella or at least a coat, now I gotta deal with this cold. My luck is just the worst, maybe... that's why Razor's avoiding me... One by one... they all learn about my luck... then... they leave... *sob* they all leave eventually *sob* why did I not expect this? It's happened so many times *sob* yet it still hurts *sob* why archons, what did I do to deserve this kind of luck"
I cried, but only partially because of my bad luck, mostly because of Razor, it became clear to me he wasn't just a friend, much more than that, but... did I really want to go that far? More importantly, could I bring myself to go that far if I wanted to? I don't have the willpower, plus my bad luck would ruin everything even if I tried. Best not to.
"Bennett?" And speaking of the devil, Razor's here. He was holding an umbrella, standing across the street. We locked eyes for a solid moment, and he walked toward me slowly. My heartbeat accelerated with every step he took, the water splashed as his feet hit the ground. If only time went slower, I could enjoy that moment for longer.
When he came up to me, he wrapped his arms around me in a hug. "Razor is sorry," he spoke, "Razor made Bennett fall, Razor didn't find Bennett, Razor didn't visit Bennett, Razor-" "It's alright, I'm fine now." A tear escaped his eyes and he started to cry, I put my hand on his head, patting it like a pup, appreciating his soft grey fur-like hair, "I said it's alright, no need to apologize. As long as you're still my friend."

My mind couldn't stop telling me to tell him my true feelings, but it was a beautiful moment that I couldn't afford to ruin, so I kept it in.
We spent a few minutes in the rain, but it felt like forever, a forever that my bad luck didn't exist. Our visions glowed bright, as the sky darkened further. We both caught a cold, we both slept in my room, and we shared our stories from the days we were apart.
The luckiest day I ever had, and it was with my crush, what more could I ask for?

A/N
A Bennett-focused chapter, as you should be able to tell from most of it is his POV. I tried to put in sad, happy, sweet moments in one chapter, idk if it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think it's because I'm the one who wrote it so I like it more, I'm biased :/
Also, I won't be writing for a while bc busy soooo umm this isn't gonna be updated for a while :c

Magriculture (Rewrite)
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is a rewrite of the original "Magriculture", which some of you may have read. (To those who did, you have my deepest gratitude, it is absolutely because of your patronage and comments that this rewrite happened, and I feel the story is better for it.) That said, this story is not a complete and polished work, there will be mistakes and errors, an occasionally these errors may mean I need to rewrite portions of the story (as of this posting the story has gone through two major rewrites already, and I'm seriously hoping there won't be need of a third.) Because of this, there may at times be changes. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will. Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If you're looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.
