Ch.18 ★ We Fucked Up

Xiao watched Venti and Heizou storm out of the classroom as the velvet haired boy bumped shoulders with their professor, chasing after the other in a desperate hurry. Worry immediately began to seep into Xiao's head—as if the look on his face didn't make it any more obvious.

Instantly, he could just tell that Heizou had spilled the truth to Venti, and he wasn't taking it well. Xiao knew that Venti's reaction to what happened at the party wasn't going to go down well, nor would it go as smoothly as he wished it could since Venti was the type of person to take responsibility for his actions.

If he'd heard it from Xiao—that he'd forced him into a sloppy three way French kiss, he'd freak the fuck out, and things would've ended up worse than they'd ended up now.

For a split second, he dared to look Albedo's way and saw that the other was already staring at him with a hurt—and indescribable look plastered across his face. Immediately, Xiao turned the other way, not able to handle all of this right now.

He clenched his jaw and tugged on his pants as his hands turned into fists. He'd broke out into a cold sweat and was tapping his foot at a rapid speed as his desk shook.

Chongyun took quick notice of this, and placed his hand on his shoulder, giving it a firm, solid grip.

"You good, Xiao?" He asked, worriedly, furrowing his brows and staring the other dead straight in his eyes.

"...yeah—, yeah. Yes." Xiao stammered, unable to keep his cool as his face burned with shame at the thought of Chongyun finding out what'd happened. "I'm okay."

Chongyun disregarded his words, already knowing it was a blatant lie.
"Xiao." He said, grabbing both his shoulders now as their teacher sprinted out the room to chase after the two runaways. "You have to be honest with me...I want to help you.

Xiao stared at him with pitiful eyes, his eyes coated with a thin layer of gloss, and he tried not to blink—afraid that the tears would come spilling out.

Sure, it was just a kiss. But it was a kiss with Venti.

He'd already been suspected by Gorou of falsely accused of liking Venti, so kissing the same guy he was said to like wasn't really helping his case.

Could he play it off as a joke? No, he'd just have to fess up to it.

His eyes drifted back to Albedo, and their gaze entwined together.
"I...I kissed Venti as a dare and—" Xiao covered his mouth, starting to feel nauseous. "—...and I feel sick."

Chongyun's eyes widened in disbelief as he tried not to keep his jaw hanging by it's screws.
"You—, you kissed Venti??" He gawked, clearly still in shock. "Like.., on the lips or?"

"...lips." Xiao covered his face in embarrassment his face heating up.

Chongyun stared at him wide eyed.
"....n..no tongue action though—, right?" He pushed further for questions wearily.

"...."
Xiao didn't have the guts to respond to that, and Chongyun got the memo as his cheeks brightened to a cherry red.

"All that for a dare—?" He dared to still asked.

"Listen.!! I didn't want to, but before I knew it, him and Kirara had already pushed their tongues in my mouth." Xiao sighed, grumbling to himself under his breath. "...They were too drunk to function properly."

BEEP BEEP!

Xiao flinched, taking his phone out of his pocket. He hesitated to check who was messaging him, clicking it open and swiping to the side and unlocking it.
