part 2

I’m lost and tired haha..

“ehhh, i didn’t know this was part of the homework.! I’m so screwed” you whined. the new courses and the fact that classes were named using codes, A113? E200? was not helping at all. Classes were split into different timings and it was hard to keep track. Locations may vary from classes to classes and that’s how you walked into the wrong building while trying to get to class within the last 9 minutes. and that’s the very reason why you were sitting in front of xiao during lunch break and whining to him about all these issues.

“It’s just so complicated! I live so close to campus, yet I reach class later than those who lives miles away and never set foot here! It’s so frustrating!” Xiao chuckled softly, soft enough that you couldn’t hear. Spending 2 weeks together due to projects, going to each other’s places and cafes to work on a project for hours on end, brought the both of you closer and more familiar with one another. Amber eyes glanced at you ever so quickly, the fleeting gazes were easily missed as you were so into the current menu of the day. His gaze softened as your favourite meal was displayed in front of you and you happily exclaimed “Thank you for the food!” Xiao then cleared his throat and mumbled quietly, “well, do you want me to remind you the night before?” You shot up, thinking he was going to call you as such.

Recently you have heard about the popularity of Xiao, and the fact that he is doing this is making you flustered and afraid of the piercing gazes of the individuals eyeing the seat you were in, opposite xiao. “N-no.! I think I’m fine! I uh.. I can always check the schedule and ask the different course mates if I need to!” Xiao was about to tell you that he is your course mate, and also the fact that he is your partner for the semester exam makes things even more important and the fact that he is more significant than the others in reminding you. But also he does not want to doubt your capabilities, hence he said nothing, nodded and continued sipping his tea. As if you jinxed yourself, a few days later, what you anticipated, happened.

The night before, you asked a course mate what time is the lesson tomorrow. Since she was always in the same class as you, you assumed that the timings would be the same, 1.30pm, start of class. Oh how very wrong you were. Your lesson was different from the others but same as Xiao, who was at 8.30am. Xiao messaged you the night before,

Let’s meet an hour before class, at the front of the school gate. We can have some time to prepare the notes and stuff. I can also teach you the formulas of which you don’t know.

You replied with a simple 👌🏻, tossed your phone on the nightstand and went to sleep. The day was hectic already, with you running around campus trying to find the right locations for the design laboratory. The moment you reached home, you were beat and after finishing all your chores you were ready to succumb to sleep.

The next morning, Xiao waited at the station. It was 55 minutes before lesson and you were nowhere to be seen. Xiao checked his messages that he sent last night to you, he clearly stated an hour. Why weren’t you here? You always showed up earlier than him all flustered and hugging the notes so adorably. Wait adorably? What is he even thinking. Xiao shook his head furiously, pulled his beanie down till it covered his eyes for a moment. He would not get into this. He is just a simple, SIMPLE project partner. Coming back to the situation, Xiao felt something was wrong, he called you several times, no answer. Why? IT WAS 45 minutes before lesson, what if..

Xiao, without hesitation, sprinted for the nearest bus to your house. Blood pounding in his ears as he ran towards your house. Reminding himself it’s not because he cares about you but the fear of being marked absent and affecting his grades, he rushed to your place. Spamming the doorbell, he called out to your name. “(Y/n)!” Hearing footsteps behind the door, Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. The door slowly opened to a groggy half awoken you. Silk pyjamas hung loosely to your body, bed hair standing tall and proud. Xiao can’t help but grin at your cute and sleepy form.

You blinked, not once, not twice but thrice. Your eyes widened and Xiao swore he might be in a comedy vie because of how you reacted. You back peddled at full speed straight to a cupboard and screamed at the highest you could muster. “What are you doing here!?”

part 1 because this popped up out of nowhere.

I’m writing to improve my English in an environment I’m fine with. I’m not sure how drabbles or headcannons work anymore if someone’s kind enough please explain to me.

everyone wanted to be near him. he looked so cold and mysterious, yet appearance wise made him extremely popular. many had tried to woo him, trying to get him to like them, forceful methods and so on. no one ever succeeded because he had literately the strongest iron walls that no one could penetrate.

xiao could barely understand why would anyone wanted to be with him, be friends with him at the very least. he looks so depressing already, his replies are all short and curt and sounded like bullets to another party. appearance? what even has this world become.

when you got partnered to him, he thought you were either giggling to the other obviously jealous girls and guys in the lecture hall or facepalming yourself because you are working with someone who seems to barely participate in class. but as he glanced over, you were doing neither. you were just desperately clambering to your notes and trying not to make them fall while waking to sit beside him for the rest of the term.

when you greeted him you sounded so shy and flustered. and you tripped over your words, your face reddened and your fingers fidget so much to an extent it looked like you were trying to break it. and when you asked what’s his name, he was momentarily taken aback, you had to wave to get his attention. when he regained consciousness he asked if you were kidding.

immediately he regretted it because you looked momentarily down for a moment. yeah you get it, you were not a genius or have a memory of an elephant, you wouldn’t remember the introduction of every single student in the course you were in, you were staring out of the window getting distracted by the stubbornly blue sky making the lecture hall the temperature of a literate oven. heck, you didn’t even know when the lecturer even called you, your friend had to flick a pen over. xiao immediately leaned over and asked, do you not hear the rumours?

the proximity was too close for your liking, and you were taken aback. nonetheless, you shook your head vigorously and xiao gave the slightest of a smile. happy, you were not like the others who literally pray to god, or archons everyday, just because they breathe the same air as him.
