Show Me Off - Xenissi

Five {Note}

Dinner was wonderful for the guys as they decided to stop by an Arby's, giving in to their love for beef.

Xero picked at his food the whole time unsure of what to do.

The new information he had received moments earlier rattled in his head. No. It rattled his whole body. He hadn't even noticed he was sneaking glances at Jenissi until he looked up and met eyes with him. Jenissi quickly looked away and something within Xero tingled and it made him smile.

"I don't wanna go straight home! Let's take a walk!" B-Joo whined. Everyone giggled but the manager said no. Which caused everyone to join in with B-Joo. The manager finally gave in.

"I'm going back to the hotel, but y'all can walk back. That'll be your walk." Some of them groaned at the hostile compromise the manager made. But some of them still liked the offer.

"Xero?" B-Joo snapped to get his attention. Xero looked up at him suddenly with wide eyes. "Wanna go on the walk with us? It's me, Hansol, A-Tom, and Yano." Xero thought about it for a minute and sighed.

"Sure." He didn't want to get home too quickly. Especially around Jenissi. He then could feel him staring at him. He looked up and it wasn't super obvious. It wasn't a dead stare. He just looked concerned and he kept throwing nervous glances at him.

Xero didn't let it bother him though as they all finished paying the check.

The two parties decided to go their separate ways.

Jenissi tried his best to mentally prepare for any weird consequences. He was so dumb. That's what he thought anyway as he paced the room and couldn't bare to stand there any longer.

'How bad will it be?'

He felt like he did something terribly wrong, but it wasn't. He just asked a stupid question and Xero wanted to be stubborn as usual!

With all these thoughts in his head, he accidentally took it out on one of the random suitcases sitting on the floor. Everything in it spilled out. He immediately felt bad when he realized it was Xero's case.

He sighed and felt ashamed of his pettiness and acting like what he felt was a brat. He knelt down and fixed the case, but couldn't manage to perfectly get the belongings back in the case. He stopped on a random shirt though as he held it in his hand. It was just a normal, grey, knitted sweater that Xero enjoyed wearing on his days off.

It really did look nice when his hair was dyed black. Jenissi didn't even notice until now. He realized he had a new appreciation for those sorts of things.

Why should he be ashamed of what he did? Xero pushed him and he got what he wanted.

Jenissi smiled and lied back on the bed but kept the sweater with him as he turned onto his side. He held it close to him as he slipped his glasses off and put them on the side table and turned his light off.

It was 11:30 but they weren't back yet and he wasn't gonna give him the enjoyment of waiting up for him. He wanted to play out this tenseness as long as possible.
