[Part 5]

"Who are you?" she questioned.

"Wait...you don't recognise me?" Xiao was surprised,
"Who is Y/-" she couldn't finish her sentence,
"Xiao?" A voice alerted the both of them from behind, "What are you doing with that girl?" You walked into the scene, grabbing Xiao's arm, causing him to stand up from the seat, "Excuse me ma'am but if you think that you would get a chance with him, I'm afraid that you would have to que up behind me," you spat, then dragging Xiao away to sit at the back row. Xiao was still confused, 'so i talked to the wrong girl?'

You sat down, shoving popcorn into your mouth aggressively, as Xiao looked at you, confused, "Are you ok?" he asked,
"You think I'm okay? I'm hurt," You ranted,
"Why?" he whispered,
"Bennett just left me for his motorcycle and now I just caught you on a date with another girl?" You crossed your arms, "Worst day ever..." You mumbled angrily to yourself, as you shoved another big hand of popcorn in your mouth. Xiao looked at you with concern, he didn't know what to do, does he say sorry?
"Y/N..." he started,
"Don't talk to me," You hissed, reaching your hand for more popcorn, but realising that it has already ran out. You looked into the empty bucket, exhaling with a frown.

A/N : I suggest you play Berry by Sunwoo (The boyz) from here ;)

Suddenly, you could feel a popcorn touching your mouth. You looked down at the popcorn that was held by the hand that you've always wanted to hold, the hand that you know you will never get to hold. You shifted your eyes to the person beside you, you could see that it was really him, "Are you not going to eat?" he quietly asked, his eyes that were focused on the movie moved to you. You couldn't even blink. He tapped the popcorn on your lips again, his fingers brushing your lips momentarily. You slowly opened your mouth as he naturally fed you, returning his hand back to himself.

You were still in shock, not moving a muscle. 'Is this real?' 'am I in fanfiction?' 'no no wake up y/n you're probably late now'
Just then, another piece of popcorn was placed on your lips again, 'okay now this isn't a dream' you talked in your head, accepting the popcorn shyly, looking back at the movie, but paying zero attention to it.

"But why are you here?" you suddenly asked,
"I don't know," he replied still watching the movie,
"Why are you on a date? Did someone set you guys up? Who is she?" you bombed him with questions, as he put a popcorn in his mouth, enjoying the movie. "Why are you--" before you could finish your never-lasting list of questions, he shoved popcorn in to your mouth to shut you up, looking at you, chuckling at your puffy cheeks and angry eyes,
"Cute," his mouth slipped again,
"What?" you spoke with your puffy cheeks, trying to chew it all down,
"Nothing," Xiao looked away, pretending nothing happened.

It was hella awkward.
The movie ended and the both of you were now walking back to his motorcycle. Even though you had millions of questions about what he was doing here with you, the atmosphere just wasn't right to ask. 'Why is he even doing this though?' 'Why is he suddenly not ignoring me?' 'Is this a date?' 'but will he ignore me again?'

When you finally got to his motorcycle you felt that you had to ask him,
"Xiao, why are you acting like this?" You asked seriously, Xiao replied with a blank stare, then handed me a helmet, smiling as he got on the motorcycle first. You stood there with the helmet not moving,
"Are you not going to come?" he started the engine,
"You didn't answer my question yet," You insisted, but Xiao still remained silent, grabbing your wrist, pulling your body closer. He took the helmet from your hand and put it on your head gently, making sure that it didn't hurt. After that, managing to get you seated behind him. You somehow just followed his actions, as he reached his hands behind him, finding your hands, grabbing them on each side and wrapping it around his waist tightly. You were of course flustered, this definitely isn't the Xiao you knew.
"Hug me tighter if I go too fast," he moved his hands to the handles, leaving me puzzled but still going with the flow. 'If this was actually real I would be screaming my lungs out already' 'I know that this isn't real' 'There is no way that Xiao will act like this' 'Maybe i'm lucid dreaming' you thought again, as the vehicle sped off, you involuntarily hugging him tighter, your heart probably bursting right now. Xiao smirked at your actions, 'I could treat you way better than Bennett' he smiled to himself.

He drove across bridges and pleasing scenery, giving you time to look around the vast view which was something that you would probably never get to do frequently. You were glad that your hair was done in a ponytail, as if all of this was planned. After a while, the trip came to a stop, the motorcycle parked next to a river across from the bustling city. You could see the lights from the buildings opened, as if they were all watching you. The moon right above the both of us like a spotlight. You still sat on the motorcycle, your legs hanging to the side. It seemed too perfect, too unrealistic. You knew that you could never deserve something like this. It would be too kind.

"Xiao..." you called him as he turned his head around, leaning on the rails, "Why are you doing this to me?" you sincerely asked, as Xiao stopped leaning and stood up straight, you continued, "I thought I could finally move on from you after hanging out with Bennett, he was really nice and my heart..." you put a hand on your chest, "my heart actually beats fast when I was with him,"
"Can you not talk about him?" Xiao eventually spoke, not liking the mention of Bennett's name,
"Why? Why can't I speak about him? Why do you care? If I speak about him so what? What are you going to do?" I started to lose my temper,
"Fuck it," Xiao whispered to himself, before approaching you while you were still ranting,
"As if it would make a difference because you're just going to ignore--"
and crashed his lips on yours.

You were shocked, as if you were freezed, you couldn't move. You felt so many emotions at once, your heart not knowing what to feel first. Xiao pulled away for a second, before connecting your lips again, unintentionally pushing you back. His lips were softer than how you imagined it, his kiss was gentle but the emotions were so strong. You tried reaching your hands behind you for support, but all there was is air, thinking that you would fall, an arm snaked around your back, saving you from falling, securing your body in his arms. It was such a warm feeling, an ecstatic moment that never in your life have you thought that this would finally come true.

Xiao slowly pulled away, looking down, nervous about how you would react.
"Y/N..." he softly called, "I think I like you," he confessed, you looked at him weirdly,
"Are you lying to me?" you still couldn't believe all of this,
"I've always thought that I didn't like you, more like I wasn't sure if I liked you or not, or what this weird feeling in my heart is..." Xiao let the words flow out from his mouth, "So I shoved it under the bus, and...ignored you," he scratched his nape, you listened to him, "I know what I did was wrong...and I'm sorry," his tone slowly dropped, getting ready for your scolding. But then you stood up from your seat, standing on the ground looking up into his eyes, before asking,
"Can you kiss me again?" you smiled, begging him with puppy eyes. His face burned at your request, the blush visible in the night.

Xiao breathed in before letting out a small "no," covering his hands with his face, cursing to himself because he couldn't hide his smile this time.
