The first time it happens, it is totally unexpected.

College, Home Economics class.

Wei Ying was there on a technicality, and it was in addition to his other classes. He could have opted out and told those in charge that it was simply a mistake, and used the time to either cram for his other subjects (unnecessary), or he could get extra credits (also unnecessary), or he could use the time wisely (by sleeping in).

He was in two minds, standing outside the door and watching the most beautiful boy slowly, meticulously rolling up his sleeves.

At this moment, everything changes for Wei Ying.

He sees elegant pale fingers flick open the button on his left cuff, and then those beautiful fingers begin to fold the white cotton fabric precisely over and over again, until his gorgeous sinewy forearms are on display. The skin is pale, and there's a single vein that travels upwards, disappearing under the button-down shirt.

Wei Ying gets to see that tantalising show all over again, and he wonders why he's overcome with the urge to go inside and lick... something.

He has never seen anyone so unconsciously beautiful before.

That becomes the overall deciding factor as he enters the room, exactly when the bell rings, and he's just seconds from being late.

And lucky for him, the only empty place that he makes a beeline for is right next to Amazing Forearms (™).

He puts his backpack on the workstation, and immediately, Amazing Forearms turns and glares at the offending item. He continues to glare at it, stealing all of Wei Ying's attention, because he's unsure about the reason for it, but he's gleefully drowning in the other's attention upon him.

Is Amazing Forearms upset by the colour? It's a normal black with a red chunky zipper and the emblem of a black wolf on a red background sewn on the front of it. It's also how Wei Ying got his nickname "the Wolf," and he's rather proud of it, too.

"What? Don't like the colour? Or not a fan of wolves?" He grins back nonchalantly, admiring the lovely long eyelashes curling against more pale skin, the cutest round cheeks, and that they shadow over gorgeous golden eyes that are now spitting fire at him.

"It is unhygienic to deposit unclean and bacteria-ridden items on a clean work surface where food is going to be prepared."

Each word is bitten and chewed out with the force of a barely restrained machine gun.

But his voice?

Wei Ying is already melting just listening to him.

It's deep and resonating, reminding him of his sister's black forest gateaux, the way the chocolate cake melts in his mouth, a perfect companion to the mix of cherry in a tangy syrup and the chocolate and vanilla buttercream frosting, and just the taste of that has his mouth watering. His tummy rumbles in response, and suddenly, there's a breakfast bar under his nose.

At the same time, his backpack is carefully hung on the hook in the gap under his workstation, where his legs would go if Wei Ying was sitting down.

"Eat, you will work better." Gorgeous Amazing Forearms says, still managing to scowl at him.

It's not a request, and since their teacher has begun speaking at the front of the class, Wei Ying wolfs it down in two bites, quickly washing it down with water from his water bottle, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. He's expecting Gorgeous Amazing Forearms to be looking straight ahead and paying attention to their teacher, but instead, Wei Ying finds himself staring deeply into golden eyes that remind him of the setting sun, washing everything the eye can see in a halo of golden light.
