Ne Zha x Ao Bing

Authors pov
As usual the two boys were walking around town just having a casual conversation, everyone greeting them respectfully.
Obviously Nezha never missed a chance to be a little menace to society, tapping people's shoulders with one of his multiple hands, taking things from people's hands with his ribbon (but giving them back after a second without them realising). He would even annoy Ao Bing sometimes.
Nezha would do that as a habbit but he was also trying to distract himself from getting too clingy with his boyfriend in public, ao Bing craved the hold of his hand but he knew it was risky, in school they were doing art sometimes and nezha was excited. He had practiced a lot and improved
The art teacher was new and looked interesting to say the least... In a bad way, at first he was very nice and he seemed to take a liking on all the students besides nezha and ao bing

As soon as he saw nezha he was visibly disgusted but nezha didn't really care, but if that guy got on his nerves all hell would break loose

"Alright, today were gonna be doing portraits" he announced excitedly and his words followed a long streak of dissapointed students voices. Ao Bing and Yaya along with a few other kids were very excited and giddy while nezha swallowed a lump in his throat, he didn't know how to do portraits well.
Then the teacher spoke once again

"You may do whoever you want in this room but! Don't only choose based on friendships, some people have other features that may make it...difficult to depict" the way the teacher worded that sentence somehow didn't sit right with nezha and some other students as he also glanced a nasty look at nezha as he said it. Ao bing rolled his eyes as the teacher glanced at him with those words, knowing he was referring to his horns, he didn't let it get to his head.

Less than a second after, ao Bing turned his canvas to face nezha and scooted close to it. Nezha blushed a little as he realized the dragon chose him, he also sat opposite from ao Bing as he wanted to attempt to draw him.

"Hey Bing, look at me" he said as he held a sketchbook in his hand, ao Bing's head peeked from his canvas, nezha turned his head into a 3/4 angle and let his hair fall onto his shoulders

"I need two seconds" he said as his multiple hands appeared so he could quickly do a simple sketch of the dragons face shape as a reference, trying to get his face shape, nose, eyes and horns in a simple sketch to have as a pose reference.

Whispering and chatting could be heard all around the room, there was a constant murmur but it didn't seem to distract the two boys, Yaya chose one of her friends because it was easier to do it in pairs.
Ao Bing didn't even start a sketch really, he just began to make shades of nezhas skin tone and piled the paint onto the canvas to make a face adding depth with the darker shades and sometimes using a small spatula to add paint.
Nezha on the other hand was a bit less experienced, he began with a faded sketch on the canvas to make sure he had it right. But is Ao bing needed, it wasn't something bad to make a sketch first

The teacher slowly got up and made his way around the room to see the progress, some students hadn't even started as well as the racist student, but he was the type to never do work so it wasn't surprising. Walking along he reached nezhas painting and sighed

"Aaaah you could have done literally anyone else...arent those...horns more difficult?" he whispered ironically and scoffed, ao Bing paused what he was doing for a second or two, scoffing and nezha looked pissed

"You said we could do whoever we want" nezha said calmly in a whisper but his voice had a tint of irony, trying to stay calm, the teacher stood shocked nezha didn't blow up

"And no, it's not hard" he added with a smile before continuing his work

Time skip

After about 2 hours the students who did nothing were forced to start  and the racist kid looked very annoyed, nezha had finished the face but he still had the hair to finish, on the other hand ao Bing was a little ahead and was trying to figure out if he wanted to add any decorative patterns or not but he ultimately decided to add nezhas ribbon around the frame and a fiery background.
