"The Art of Flirting"

Zekai flipped through the book, with each page turning he slowly nodded to himself while not noticing how Botao stared at him from the door frame. Botao on the other side was part confused, part proud. He immediately understood Zekai's intention. Was it that girl that sneaked into Samsara's waiting room during the practice match?

Botao recalled that she was quite pretty. She handed Zekai chocolate and with a cheeky smile, she told him to pay her back once he knew how. Was that why he was looking at a flirt tutorial book? 

Botao grasped this opportunity to show Zekai that he could be more than a vice-captain. He was more than the bridge between the captain and the team. He was the bridge between the captain and his glorious successful-to-be love life!

Botao made up his mind, balled a fist in the air and his mind gave himself a pep talk. He was mentally looking at a mirror and told his image:

"You've got this!"

Botao walked towards Zekai with an aura of superior holiness. In this area Botao outdid Zekai, he knew how to speak with girls! How to communicate in general! Even though the girls still flocked to Zekai more naturally, but that had nothing to do with now. 

Botao quickly shook the depressing thought out of his mind and started cultivating back all the superiority around him. He needed to be confident, to believe in himself to show Zekai the true art of flirting!

He cleared his throat when he arrived behind Zekai. The latter turned around with a question on his face. Botao took the book and shook his head in pity.

"Zekai, this is not the way to do it," Botao threw the book away, "I'll teach you how to do it!"

Botao swung himself in the chair opposite to Zekai, rested his elbows on his knees and looked at Zekai with a serious expression on his face, as if whatever he was going to say would determine the fate of this world.

But of course, it would! If Zekai was really able to speak, to speak with a girl and to actually go out with her, what chaos, what disaster would that bring upon the world? At the thought of all the angry fangirls, Botao shuddered and hesitated for a second.
Should he really be teaching Zekai how to flirt? Wouldn't he become a target for the fangirls if they found out he was the one who achieved a wonder and cured Zekai?

However, the look on Zekai face was painful to Botao. Painful in the way that Botao felt bad for Zekai not being able to live the way he wanted because he couldn't speak, and painful in the way that Botao felt like Zekai was actually looking down on him!

Botao quickly regained his determination and loosened his shirt. He fell back on the chair and gave Zekai a smirk.

"This is how you make use of handsomeness!"

Botao was full of confidence, even though the source of his confidence was questionable. Botao himself was a pro player! He never had the chance to flirt with girls, so...so where in the world did this oozing confidence come from?

But the look on Zekai's face only spurred Botao even more on! Zekai looked at him in awe! Yes, that was it! Botao felt like he could teach Zekai anything and be successful, even though 95% of the work will be due to his handsome looks.

"Damn it," Botao cursed and immediately regretted it. He cleared his throat quickly.

"Damn it, you look so good babe," and shot Zekai a wink. Zekai remained still.

"What's wrong? You not feeling up to it? Don't feel like talking, my dear bunny?" Botao smirked and stood up, walking towards Zekai.

"Don't worry, I'll make you feel better real soon," the smirk grew wider and Botao played with Zekai's hair.

Botao watched too many anime.

"The little bunny shouldn't be so quiet," Botao pulled Zekai up by the chin. Zekai remained petrified.

Botao cursed. Zekai was way too handsome!

"Damn it," Botao cursed again, immediately clearing his throat. It felt like this would become a continuous habit of his.

"Damn it," Botao cursed again and again, "you so fine baby."

Botao's hand moved from Zekai's chin down to his chest. Zekai remained to live as a stone.

Botao started to become self-conscious. He retracted his hands and went back to his chair. Clearing his throat in an awkward way. He needed a boiled sweet because his throat hurt from clearing so much!

"And that's how you flirt," Botao concluded with a knowing nod. Zekai remained as lifeless as he was from the beginning.

"OK!" Botao shouted and jumped up, "let's go over the steps again!"

"First: Walk to the girl with an air of confidence!"

"Second: Get into a good position and pose manly in front of her!"

"Third: Compliment her, don't forget to use a pet name!"

"Fourth: Get her to talk to you!"

"Fifth: Make physical contact, if she sits too far away, do not worry, get closer to her!"

"Sixth: Shower her with more compliments!"

"Seven: Do not under any circumstances forget the pet names!"

"Eight: Be extremely slimy when you flirt, it may sound awful but it works, hehe you've just experienced it yourself!"

"Nine: Give her seducing gestures like winking!"

"And finally ATTACK! Touch her like there's no tomorrow!"

Botao bolted his fist in the air and panted. He got way too carried away and excited over this. Actually, he made those steps up but once he said it, it sounded pretty good! Way to go!

Botao turned to Zekai who still showed no signs of being alive.

"Damn it babe, you're a real hard one, aren't you?"

Botao threw his hair back and put his fingers on his forehead and laughed knowingly, in a creepy way but knowingly. The superior aura was just radiating like a cloud of poop around him. It was nasty but innocent.

Zekai finally stood up and walked towards Botao. Botao stopped laughing and looked confused. Zekai intertwined his hand with Botao's, shoved his face in Botao's and with the other hand he got hold of Botao's back.

"Like this?" Zekai asked and his silky hair tickled Botao's cheeks that was tainted with a hue of embarrassment.

Damn his handsomeness! He really doesn't have to talk to get his way!

"Oh," Zekai let go of Botao and turned around before he faced Botao again.

Zekai grabbed Botao's chin and moved his hand on Botao's back dangerously down.

"Like this, my lil sweet peachy butt?"
