Jun Li (Morax) Xiao, Venti (Barbatos) Genshin

Everything seemed normal back then, those were the times
The adepts were small, and Xiao was too
Zhongli was a very strict mentor to Xiao; rules of etiquette, combat, and discipline were the only things that mattered to Zhongli, and he literally forced Xiao to suppress all emotions
But Venti was always especially kind to Xiao, feeding him so that he wouldn't starve to death
He understood how dangerous it was for Xiao to shut off his emotions
One day, Barbatos gave Xiao an amicus, but one that only the two of them could see
It was their little secret, and for Xiao, the amicus became a loyal companion
Because of this, Venti and Zhongli argued often
Venti said it wasn't right, that Xiao would lose trust, and that they should just be friends, like the winds, and that's all
Zhongli insisted that Venti was wrong
Xiao received an Anemo Vision
In the present day
One night, Zhongli couldn't understand why Xiao was so afraid of being close to him, and why he hadn't known about the amicus and the fact that Xiao wasn't afraid of Barbatos
