Limitless (NCT one shots)

Come away with me (YuJun)

So this is long...
I hope it's worth the eye strain.

Xiaojun has been tutoring as a means to make extra money while in college. He's pretty much a prodigy at anything he does. He is so smart academically and musically. Sports? Not so much. He has zero coordination so the only thing physical that he will even attempt is his daily workout. He even does this at home with no machines for fear of causing bodily harm to himself or others.
It was a few months ago that he started tutoring his crush. He was a bumbling mess when they met up for the first time. He had seen this guy walking campus before in his soccer jersey and fell in love instantly. He even made it a point to go to a few home games to catch a glimpse and sure enough he is a star player. He came to him needing help with his psych class and the only words that came out of Xiaojun's mouth were no. He couldn't possibly help him. It would be too hard for him. He walked away quickly from a stunned soccer player then stops abruptly and turns.
"Sorry." He says with pink stained cheeks.
"Yeah, I can fit you in. Here's my number, call me in an hour or so and we can work out the details." He says handing him a card with his name and number on it. Xiaojun honestly couldn't believe he made it through that without stuttering.
He was always nervous when they first started meeting, he still is now but it's nothing like it was. His heart still flutters wildly in his chest when he flashes a smile as he walks in the room but now they are comfortable. Xiaojun wouldn't say friend, more like friendly acquaintance. He doesn't allow many people in and he's sure the soccer star wouldn't feel that way for him.
Today he sits anxiously, he's been missing a lot of tutoring sessions lately because of away games but he's  done with that for a while now. He taps his fingers and looks around, he unknowingly breathes a sigh of relief when he sees him with his beautiful smile walk through the door.
"Hi." He says slightly out of breath as he sits across from him.
"Hi, Yuta." He says with a shy smile. Yuta smiles back and makes his heart do a flip, fuck he loves that smile.
"Congratulations, I heard you guys won your last two away games." Xiaojun says softly. Yuta's smile grows, he didn't think Xiaojun actually paid attention to that.
"Yes, you should have seen it. The last one especially, time was almost up we had like thirty seconds left and I had to get it from one end to the other. I was weaving through and I even got knocked down and twisted my knee but I got up and ran through. I kicked the winning goal then collapsed to the ground, it was amazing!" Yuta's face warms as he watches Xiaojun watch him.
"Sorry, for rambling. I forgot you don't like sports." Xiaojun smiles softly thinking he is just so cute.
"I don't mind, I like hearing you talk about it, it obviously makes you happy." Now his face is warm.
"You got hurt?" He asks realizing what he said. Yuta points down to his knee with an obnoxious black brace making Xiaojun gasp.
"How did I not see that?" He asks gently touching his knee, Yuta chuckles.
"You couldn't take your eyes off my incredibly handsome face." He says with mock confidence.
"Yeah." Xiaojun agrees before quickly realizing what he said. He opens his text book and refuses to look up, he doesn't see the fondness in the other's eyes as he watches him.
It's a good hour into their two hour session that Yuta closes his laptop which gets Xiaojun's attention.
"Have you ever done anything spontaneous? Like just something out of your routine? Go on an adventure or just get away?" He asks excitedly. Xiaojun shakes his head no with a smile.
"My parents didn't allow spontaneity. We got home from school to study, do chores, eat and study more before going to bed. I've always had a regimen." Yuta frowns a bit and stands.
"Come away with me?" He asks excitedly. Xiaojun frowns and looks around.
"Don't ask questions, don't think it through, just trust me." He says hopefully. Xiaojun looks down at his book and tries not to show his internal freak out. They've never done anything outside of studying together.
"Ok." He says timidly. Yuta gets excited and starts gathering their things. They get out to his car and he opens the door for the other who blushes as he sits.
He pulls up to Xiaojun's dorm building making him frown.
"I'm giving you five minutes to drop off your stuff and grab some things for a few days and don't forget swim trunks." His jaw drops.
"Remember, don't think it through. You don't need a lot." Xiaojun starts to try to say something until Yuta wags his finger.
"Eh, eh. Time is running out." Xiaojun's eyes grow and he quickly exits the car. Yuta watches him fondly the whole time.
After finally getting on the road and a few attempts by Xiaojun to know where they are going the car falls into silence. Comfortable silence. At one point Xiaojun falls asleep and Yuta basks in getting to see this side of him.
