Adversary || Xingyun

14

Before he knew it, it was already time for the dreaded hellhole known as school. Maybe staying up an extra few hours wasn't a good idea. The second he started walking to school he already felt really sleepy. He just wished he could go back to sleep.

As he was walking to his locker, still half asleep, he heard something muffled behind him.

"... Yun? You there?"

He could barely make out what the person was saying, nor who they were. His brain really didn't want him to function normally today. All he could really make out was a dark blue blur in front of him.

"Hm?" Chongyun mumbled, still not fully aware of his surroundings.

Xingqiu took notice that Chongyun clearly wasn't up and running, so he did the most 'completely rational' thing to do.

He gave him a quick slap on the face.

"Ouch! What was that for?"

"Sorry 'Yun, but you seemed really out of it." Xingqiu replied back, a small smile appearing on his face.

God why was he so adorable. That's all that was running in his mind at that moment.

"Thanks I guess?" He was pretty unsure how to respond to that.

"So uh... this might be kind of unexpected, but do you mind if I come over to your house today?" Xingqiu asked, still smiling.

What.

He was perplexed, why did Xingqiu want to come over? Had he forgotten what had happened the day before? Chongyun was unsure if he wanted him to come over, but he also didn't want to seem rude.

"... Uhh"

That was all he could say. God why was he being so awkward right now, Chongyun thought to himself.

"So... is that a yes or a no?" Xingqiu asked, breaking the silence.

"Sure." Chongyun replied.

The moment he said that one word he started overthinking his response, however it was too late to back out now.

"Great, I'll pop up around... 4 pm? Does that sound good?"

"Yeah that's fine."

"Perfect, I'll see you later then 'Yun!"

Chongyun just stood there and stared while Xingqiu starting walking away from his locker and assumingely towards his class. Then he started thinking again, did Xingqiu really forget what happened yesterday? He didn't know, but he decided to take this opportunity.

He just wanted to let it all out.

He just wanted him to know these feelings that were pent up and still unknown to him. Maybe he could help him out.

There was still a lot of time until 4 pm, he could utilize that time well, or just let it pass by.

And he just let it pass by, he was procrastinating, he didn't want to think about what to say, it was too draining but he knew he had to come up with something, this was a chance and he had to take it.

His brain didn't let him use this chance well though.

He couldn't come up with what to say to the blue haired boy, he was still confused about what he felt towards him, which made putting it into words a struggle.

He was feeling really drained from all of this, he's actually been feeling drained a lot recently, though he wasn't sure why. He ended up falling asleep and just hoped his brain could come up with something when he woke up.

Chongyun woke up to the sound of his doorbell, still under the effects of being asleep, he made his way to the door and saw a blue blob in front of him, his vision still being very hazy.

"Hey Chongyun! ... Oh? Are you okay?"

Chongyun didn't verbally respond to that and instead subconsciously flopped himself onto Xingqiu's shoulder.

"Oh... I think you should rest for a bit Chongyun." Xingqiu said as he brought Chongyun up to a standing position and took notice of his condition.

Chongyun was still really unresponsive and just said nothing.

"Yeah let's get you to bed." Xingqiu said, giggling a bit afterwards.

He carried Chongyun over his shoulder and to his room, which was a hassle but they eventually made it.

He let the popsicle boy down onto his bed and watched as he cuddled himself in the sheets. He sat beside him and proceeded to scroll through his phone.

After some time, he felt something warm grab onto his free, cold hand, he took a glance to see what it was.

There he saw a certain boy holding his hand and nudging his face towards it, as if he was cuddling it.

Xingqiu's face turned slightly red and his heart started beating a little faster at the boy's action, but somehow it didn't make him anxious, if anything, it felt the opposite.

It was nice.
