Venti was finally back in college, but only for the small group music lessons he gives. He didn't have the heart to come back to class and study like nothing had happened.
As he greeted the students he used to see every week, he saw a young boy with golden eyes he had never seen before.

"This is your first time coming to my class, isn't it?" Venti asked.

The boy nodded in agreement.

"I'm sorry but there were no new students on the list."

The young musician showed the list of students registered for the evening class.
Seeing that his interlocutor was feeling awkward, he smiled.

"It's okay! I'll make an exception for tonight. But next time, consider signing up!"

The young man nodded.

"So which instrument do you want to learn or improve with?"

The new student didn't answer at first. Venti can saw that he didn't thought about actually learning an instrument. But the boy finally answer.

"The flute. I want to learn how to play the Chinese flute."

The musician looked at him for a moment without saying a word and finally smiled.

"Very well! Sit down and I will come to you after helping the others!"

So Venti went to help the others while Xiao took a seat, nervous.
When Venti came to help him, he handed him his flute.

"Normally the student brings his own instrument, but I'll lend you mine for tonight."

The young man took Venti's flute and looked at him who showed how to place and hold the flute. He looked the student in the eye and could see that he was very flustered by the situation which greatly amused the boy with the braids.

"So, what's your name?"

The young man didn't answer at first, surprised by this question. Venti then showed the registration paper.

"Xiao."

Venti smiled and wrote his name on the paper.

"Nice to meet you, Xiao. My name is Venti."

Xiao couldn't do nothing but blush when the musician said his name, this didn't go unnoticed by Venti.

"N-Nice to meet you... Too..."

Venti smiled and suggested that Xiao start trying to play music. After a few minutes, he interrupted Xiao.

"Are you free this weekend? There's a music concert and it might be cool to go together!"

The young musician asked that lightly, smiling while the young man looked at him, surprised.

"You may think you have an expressionless face but I understand you weren't here for the lesson! So, are you interested?"

Xiao nodded without even realising it.

Venti smiled amusedly, took Xiao's hand and wrote his phone number on it.

"We'll discuss this after class, then."

He winked and went back to help his other students, leaving Xiao alone with the flute.

The class ended and Xiao returned the instrument. He gave him a last smile followed by "see you later!" and took care of closing the room and leaved.

When he got home, Venti waited impatiently for the so-called Xiao to decide to send him a message.
