Nights With You 2p! China x Reader

Night Out

"The thing is, I'd rather die free than live like this."

"And in recent news, a gathering of several university students..." You rolled your eyes in a bored manner, looking away from the news. The news anchor was just blabbering on about some small protest anyways: this would come to past soon enough. What was today, the 27th? School is nearly out for the semester... You could spend more time with Zao though! No more need to stay up late and possible fail... You had the whole summer to spend time. Maybe you could finally confess to him?

"Oh don't be silly!" You scolded yourself, standing and stretching. Like he felt the same; Zao was a flirt... and well, he flirted with you, yes... but it was like he always gave up if another guy seemed remotely interested...

"Silly how?" You perked up hearing said boy, or was he a man? It was hard to place him in either at this point; he was at the awkward in-between phase, but that's beyond the point. He was here!

"Thinking I could finish this year with an A in my Freshman English Class." You supplied, giving your crimson eyed friend a grin as you did.

"You could drop out, like me." He suggested nonchalantly.

"You know I can't back out now. I've already got a year under my belt!" You cried.

"What, with three more to go?" He snorted. "Why don't you just stay with me?" He pouted. It almost seemed like there was a whine to his voice, like a beg. But you physically shook your head (as if that would really rid the thought) and stuck your tongue out at him.

"Whatever. C'mon, I thought you were taking me out for food?" With a click of the large power button, you had shut off the TV, and with it the beetle like man on the news.

"You sound excited. But I guess any girl would be if she were going on a date with me." He chuckled.

"Whatever loser." You said playfully. "You said it yourself; 'Oh I'll pay you back by taking you to dinner!'" You mocked. "And thus, here we are."

"Can't you just appreciate we get to spend time together. _____?" He sighed.

"Oh I suppose." You hummed, walking out the door with Zao into the quiet street outside. The two of you walked in silence, enjoying the quiet until you found yourself in one of the main streets. You had to struggle to keep together in the mass of people, meandering anyway they believed they could dash through.

"Z-zao!" You cried, nearly being pushed down by a man. Luckily, Zao caught your waist, and held you up. With a smile, he let go and instead choose to hold your hand.

"So we won't get separated." He had said. Of course you knew that was probably the case, but part of you was just going to pretend it was because he wanted to hold your hand just as much as you wanted to hold his. So you kept your grin in as you followed him through the tangle of limbs. Even when you did reach a much normal amount of people, he still held your hand in his. Even a bit tighter, it seemed...

"First, let's visit here!" He said, bringing us over to a brightly decorated store.

" Zao, is this the toy store?" You questioned, but you really knew what it was. Him and his strange obsession with cute things... Then again, who could blame him? This place did carry some of the cutest plush toys ever. Not to mention a whole section devoted to the one and only...

"I wanted to get you something before we ate!" Was all he said, letting go of your hand and flying off to the section filled with Hello Kitty.
