The screen flashed on and Xiao looked at the camera. Chat immediately asked why Xiao scheduled this stream so late. "I started school." was all he said and starting doing normal stuff.

Xiao finally read chat and it was flooded with the same question. "Okay, chat. Calm down." Xiao said. The chat slowed on the question but it still popped up. "So I started school today." Xiao said, shifting his mouse to continue playing. "It was probably my guide that made the day a bit better though. The amount of energy he has is amusing." the streamer said.

~ ^ ~ chat ~ ^ ~

iiren .. does our xiao have a crush ?!

superb;) .. imagine-

okcool .. go bestie xiao

ghostlyhutao .. yep!! venti is a very cool person :)

Xiao read chat, recognizing both names of Venti and Hu Tao. "You watch my streams, Hu Tao?" Xiao asked.

ghostlyhutao .. venti told me to watch you :/ it's been about 2 weeks-

"Venti? He watches?" The streamer was confused.

ghostlyhutao .. his user is venti<3 so scout for him

Xiao sighed, the sounds of his mousepad and keyboard filling the stream room.

It was a bit into stream and Xiao closed his game. "Let's do a QnA for now. You can ask anything. We haven't done a QnA for a hot minute." Xiao said, readjusting his camera.

venti<3 .. omg- am i late sob

ghostlyhutao .. nup

venti<3 .. oh- okay :D

Xiao saw the user and waved. "Okay, let's start." Xiao grabbed his mouse and started playing his game again.

A bit later, a donation popped up, scaring the heck out of Xiao. He read the donation as the robot voice read it also.

im getting sleepy and we have school tomorrow gn xiao !

It was from Venti. "Alright, goodnight, Venti." Xiao said calmly. Xiao watched as his stream viewers went down by one. Venti had gone off. Right, Xiao had school tomorrow. He was so used to just going onto his computer and finding new games to play or find something to do. "I'll be logging off because like Venti said, we have school." Xiao waved and shut stream off.

The next day, Xiao sat at the large table listening to everyone's drama. "But he won. The teacher then gave us no homework for the month." Xingqiu said. A student challenged their teacher to a game of Tic Tac Toe. Beat him all three times. "Lucky! You have no homework!" Venti pouted. Xiao sighed. "But didn't he also say that classwork will turn into homework? It's just that he'll give us much more time to complete it." Xiao said. Of all classes, Venti and Xiao had only one separate class. "I don't feel like going to next period right now." Venti announced, rolling the tip of his finger against the table. "No one has the energy to do so." Xingqiu huffed out. Chongyun awkwardly smiled at Xingqiu. "Amph! I have class soon!" Venti pushed his body out, the chair intensely scraping on the floor. He stood up and grabbed Xiao's wrist. "To English we go!" "Agh! Venti, let go!"

The two slowly came to a stop upon arriving at their class' door. "Venti, I have a question." Xiao said, every drip of his seriousness sounding like it fell into a puddle. "Hm? Hurry, I'm not failing English." Venti said, remembering the fact he couldn't watch Xiao's streams for a month for failing his 1st year of highschool. "Why didn't you panic when you saw me?" Xiao asked. Venti stifled a laugh. "I still can internally panic." Venti fanned his hand and entered the room. Xiao sighed and followed.

After English, it was finally time to leave. Venti opened his locker and yanked out a few items. He tiredly slammed the door shut and stuffed them into his backpack. "English was boring without Ms. Lisa." Venti groaned, slumping his shoulders. Xiao nodded in agreement. "Where is Ms. Lisa though?" Xiao asked. Venti laughed and shook his head. "At her house. Her wife works from home most of the time. Every Thursday she takes a day off. Ah! It's Thursday! Good, this week's almost over!" Venti smiled. Xiao nodded, wondering who this said wife was. "Hey, I know we just met yesterday, but are you interested in coming over Saturday? My mom makes the best almond tofu!" Venti asked. Xiao immediately reacted to the word 'almond tofu' and nodded. "Great!" Venti pulled the handle of his backpack up. "C'mon, I'll wait with you. We can talk about Saturday while we wait!" Venti rolled his backpack out and Xiao followed.

" ---- then we can do our assignments if you want." Venti planned out the day like a professional, Xiao trying to catch up. Then a honk interrupted the little plan-making session. A ginger poked his head out and waved. "That's my ride. See you tomorrow, Venti." Xiao said. Venti waved to the departing male as he descended the stairs.

"So, who was that?" Childe asked. "A friend. He was also my guide." Xiao said, snapping his buckle in. Childe chuckled, gripping the steering wheel a bit more tightly. "What's with that chuckle?" Xiao asked. "That's what I told my parents upon meeting Zhongli in college." Childe said. Xiao sat there confused until catching on. "What the heck?! No, we're just friends. Besides we just met yesterday!" Xiao said. "Just saying!" Childe started driving.

Xiao aggressively tossed his backpack onto the ground startling the male cooking. "Xiao, Ajax, you're home?" Zhongli asked. "Yep, and dad decided it was a good idea to tease me in the car." Xiao grumbled. Zhongli chuckled, patting his head. "And what was the teasing about, hm?" the male asked. "Xiao made a new friend today and they seem really close." Childe said. "Shut up! I just met him yesterday. And we're just friends!" Xiao said. "That's what they all say!" Childe said, walking into the kitchen, his voice slowly fading. "Haha. Don't think much about it Xiao. Like you mentioned, you two had just met yesterday. Give it time for now. Dinner's almost ready." Zhongli left Xiao at the entrance, visibly done with his parents. They're too gay for Xiao currently.

After dinner, Xiao discarded the food left on his plate and gently put it into the sink. "I'll be streaming so knock before entering!" Xiao said. The two at the table made noises of agreement and Xiao went to his room.

He leaned back in his chair, waiting for the stream to boot up and there he went live. Chat immediately asked how school was and such. "Calm down, chat. Okay, do you want to wait for Venti since you guys seemed so over the top when he arrived or start playing?" Xiao asked.

notsosimple .. let's wait for xiao's bf ya'll

trexrungobrr .. omg yes! xiao's bf!

ghostlyhutao .. xiao- VENTI'S YOUR S/O?!

"S/O? Wait, no! Venti and I aren't. Besides we met yesterday. How much times must I repeat that?" Xiao said. He grumbled and went to go find a game to play while waiting for the arrival of Venti.

A donation scared Xiao and he fell off his chair. His headphones were still on his head so he heard the donation. Well, two now.

hihi! i read you were waiting for me ;)

pfft- are you okay?

Xiao slowly got up, seeing who had donated. "Oh.. Venti. Gosh. Yes, I'm okay."

venti<3 .. good to know :D

In the dark lit room was a boy and a monitor. The monitor flashed lights against the blank walls of the room. There were sounds escaping the monitor as a live movie played. And there was a boy and a monitor.
