XiaoVen Haters to Lovers [DISCONTINUED]

Angst

Venti's perspective:

I hummed gently before stumbling into Aether.

 " Hey, Aether! Can I ask you something? "

I'm technically doing him a favour

" Sure, What's up? "

Aether replies back as I smirk with excitement

" Soo~ What do you think of Xiao~? "

Aether seemed confused at my question before replying

" I.. Think hes a great friend, Why do you ask? "

I was stunned. I thought Aether and Xiao were like, OTP soulmates!?

" Soo-... You don't feel any romantic feelings from him? "

I ask in slight hesitation

" What? Nonono! I think of Xiao as my best friend, Why though-? "

I suddenly feel bad.. But.. For Xiao!? No, Cant be..

" Ah, No reason! I just.. Thought you guys were dating "

Aether slightly laughed

" No, Never. We're just friends, That's it. Well, Aside from that. Is there anything else you need? "

I sigh in defeat

" Noo.. That's it. I'll talk to you later Aether "

Aether smiled at me before leaving as I waved. Suddenly I felt negative emotion behind me as I looked behind to see Xiao from afar. I looked shocked as Xiao just ran off

" Xiao, wait! "

I ran after him as I found Xiao in our shared room. He was hugging his legs while hiding his head as I went over to him a kneel down.

" Xiao..? "

I said, Reaching my hand out to see if he was okay before my hand suddenly got slapped

" SCREW OFF "

Xiao said, Angrily. Quickly putting his head up, Staring at me with an extreme hateful expression.

" JUST- Just leave me alone.. "

His furious face turned into a depressing face as he hid his head again. He was upset, Very upset. And I could tell- I mean, Getting friendzoned is the worse but there's nothing you can do to prevent it

" Look, I was just tryna help "

Xiao interrupted me

" Well you didn't help. I HATE YOU SO JUST LEAVE ME ALONE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HELP THEN AND YOUR ESPECIALLY NOT HELPING NOW. "

I stared at Xiao in shock as flashbacks started coming back to me as I looked down before clenching my fists. I removed anything that covered Xiao's face and slapped him

" If it weren't for me. You would've confessed and got REJECTED. So ACCEPT THE FACT THAT NOT EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT I WAS TRYING TO HELP THE ONE I HATE THE MOST, DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE THAT IS?? SUCK IT UP AND STOP BEING A BIG BABY AND JUST FIND SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE YOUR NEVER GONNA LIVE YOUR LIFE BY SULKING OVER YOUR CRUSH BY NOT HAVING THE SAME FEELINGS FOR YOU. "

Once I finished my rant I started breathing as I said that in almost one breath. Xiao stared at me at shock considering I've never yelled at him. Or anyone now that I think about it. I managed to catch my breath

" You know what, Forget it. I'll just go "

I said while getting up, As I started to walk off. Until Xiao suddenly grabbed my wrist and held onto it

" Wait- I apologise.. Just, Stay.. "

Xiao says with a sad tone. I was shocked but decided to stay with Xiao out of pity as I sat next to him. The silence was real so I decided to break the silence

" So how long have you liked him..? "

I ask

" 2 years.. "

Xiao said quietly but loud enough for me to hear. I feel bad before slightly smirking as I go behind Xiao

" What're you doing-? "

He asked but I interrupted and started tickling him. He tried not to laugh but did anyway and so did I- It's the first time I've ever heard him laugh but I'm glad I was able to.

" Get off! "

He said as he continued to laugh and tried to push my hands away. Eventually he succeeded and he still laughed before he stopped and smiled, I did too.

" I knew that would make you laugh! "

I said grinning at him. He smiled at me one last time before shaking his head and getting up, Turned out he stopped smiling-

" We never talk about this again. "

He left for the bathroom as I smiled before leaving the room so Xiao can have some time.



Xiao's perspective:

I was blushing like crazy

" Why did he look so... "

I interrupted myself, Shaking my head and washing my face, Looking up at the mirror as I was still blushing. I breathed in and out to remove Venti from out of my head and succeeded while having little bits of blush on my face as I exited the bathroom. Luckily Venti wasn't there so I lay'd down on my bed and covered my eyes with my arm.

Venti's perspective:

I was in the living room, Covering my face as it started to heat up. I know I wasn't having a fever or anything- But Xiao's laugh was unbelievable.. I couldn't bear to hear his laugh any longer or even face him face to face. God this is gonna be a tough few months..
