Idiosyncrasy [ Sechan/Chanhun]

part 1

"Sehun"

Sehun halted for a second hearing the very familiar voice calling out for him and then he started walking again like he hadn't heard anything.

"Hey-y wait"

The voice was a lot closer now accompanied with loud footsteps that were trying to catch up with him.

Sighing Sehun stopped in the middle of the busy hallway and turned around to listen to whatever the other had to say.

Chanyeol jogged towards him crossing the small distance between them. His newly dyed pink hair was slightly askew that reminded Sehun of candy floss which wasn't a bad look on Chanyeol not that Sehun would ever tell him.

"What is it?" Sehun asked putting on the most bored expression that he could muster, he didn't have to put much effort into it honestly he was known for having a perpetual stoic face which always gave off the unbothered vibe even though most of the time it wasn't the case.

Chanyeol was still panting a little probably from running all the way to catch up to him.

"Are you free tonight?"

Sehun frowned trying to understand if he had heard Chanyeol right? Surely his ex wasn't asking if he was free because why would he when they both had agreed to end whatever relationship or lack thereof that they had two months ago.

"Why?"

"Maybe we can hang out?" Chanyeol shrugged simply. Like this was something they did everyday.

Sehun didn't need time to think, his answer was on the tip of his tongue "No" flashing a tight lipped smile he turned around and started to make his way towards the classroom at the end of the hall. He had a lecture in ten minutes.

"Why not" The surprise was evident in Chanyeol's tone as if he had expected Sehun to readily agree with him. Did he not know Sehun at all?

"We have no reason to hang out that's why"

"Cmon Sehun" Chanyeol half whined his name, his mile long legs striding quicker to match Sehun's pace.

"For old times sake"

The words made Sehun slow down for the second time. "Shouldn't you be hanging out with the girlfriend of yours?"

Chanyeol ran his fingers through his hair, pushing it away from his forehead.

"Uhh we aren't together anymore" he trailed off sounding slightly flustered, "it wasn't working out anyway" Chanyeol explained with a sheepish smile.

Sehun snorted unable to help himself "Well last week when you were eating her face behind those bushes things seemed to work pretty fine between you two"

Chanyeol's expression reddened a little obviously not expecting Sehun to caught him in the act.

"Don't worry I wasn't intruding if that's what you are thinking. I have better things to do then watch you snog someone. You always make this weird face while making out it's not attractive" Sehun's lip curved into a sly smile. Breaking up had its perks one could lay the insults without anyconsequences. It's not like he had to worry how Chanyeol would feel, not anymore.

Chanyeol bit down on his lips, swallowing the words. He paused for a few second then shook his head "That's a little harsh don't you think?"

Sehun knew that inside Chanyeol's head he had a few choice of words that he would probably like to use on him right now. Chanyeol was never one to take criticism casually. Specially when it was directed to his looks which he was quite proud of.

Sehun just shrugged nonchalantly. He gave a quick glance at the time.

Sehun was getting late not that he cared much about missing a few more minutes of his history lecture, it's not like he was a diligent student on top of that Mr. Kim particularly didn't like him and he shared the mutual feeling towards his history professor who did nothing but drawl on about trends of world politics for hours.

Sehun crossed his arms over his chest. Narrowing his eyes he started "Hypothetically speaking, if I agree to hang out with you. What's in it for me?"

Chanyeol's face relaxed a little at Sehun's words, his lips spreading to give a cheeky smile as if he had already anticipated for Sehun to ask this particular question.

Chanyeol threw a glance towards the other students who were hurriedly rushing towards their classes, he lowered his voice "I have got the good stuff. It's your favourite"

Sehun rolled his eyes at Chanyeol's attempt to bribe him with weed.

"You are trying to tempt me"

"Is it working?"

"No" Sehun abruptly replied. It's not like he wasn't enjoying the flicker of desperation in Chanyeol's eyes.

Before Chanyeol opened his mouth to try to persuade him anymore Sehun interrupted "I have got a class to attend,, see you around" he walked off to his class leaving a slightly disappointed looking Chanyeol behind.

The thumping of the loud bass was making Sehun's skin tingle and he could barely hear what Baekhyun was saying over the music. He vaguely nodded along eyes squinting at the neon lights that were flashing like police sirens inside the crammed room. He wondered who came up with
this ridiculous idea to blind everyone in the party.

Excusing Baekhyun, Sehun winded through the crowd of people to get a refill. He wasn't drunk enough for the night. As Sehun tapped the keg to fill his glass his mind wandered to the day he had met Chanyeol for the first time in a party similar to this the only exception being him completely wasted that day.

While dancing Sehun had tried to show off a particular difficult move to his friend, His legs were too wobbly and brain too fuzzy to keep himself steady on his feet he tumbled forward, before his body inevitably met the floor there was someone holding him up saving him from the embarrassment and bruises. Even in his drunken haze Sehun admired those strong arms and the soft look on his saviour's face.

Sehun sipped on his beer thinking about how Chanyeol had repeatedly asked for his company. It's only because Chanyeol's other friends weren't free tonight.

Ass.

Downing the last few drops of his drink he placed the glass on the table, gazing back at the living room filled with people he barely knew, Sehun suddenly felt even less enthusiastic to join them. His eyes searched for Baekhyun who was nowhere in his sight. Sehun was sure his friend had abandoned him to flirt with the new exchange student so it was only fair that Sehun did the same. So he slipped out of the party quietly.
