ever since yixing’s initial rejection of him, after his arrival at hogwarts, never once after that had he ever tried to approach the man who had once been locked in the basement of his house. he had been too scared as a child to disobey his mother and touch the halfblood who polluted their home. he had stared at the other boy, and he had inched closer, and yixing had offered to teach him how to make a paper crane.
he had been curious. but his mother had scolded for him not to touch that thing, that he was filthy, and evan had drawn away in fear. but the hurt look on yixing’s face still stays with him, even to this day, and if he’s being truthful, he doesn’t blame the other for pretending not to know him in first year.
but now they’re both prefects, they’re both patrolling together, and they’re going to be stuck in each other’s company for who knows how long. merlin.
