University High (Yizhan Fanfiction)

Chapter 6: Rooftop

Xiaozhan walked briskly to the end of the corridor to the emergency stairway, his footstep brisk. It was past school hours and there weren't that many people left. He hoped no one would follow them. Yibo silently followed him, his eyes never leaving Xiaozhan's back. This man stole his heart since that fateful night now he was ready to do what it takes to keep him by his side.

Xiaozhan pushed open the door to the rooftop of the school. In the past, this was his favourite place to hang out when he skip lessons and make out with girls. The rooftop was deserted but well maintained. Not much different than it was when Zhan was still a student at National High.

They could feel the wind blowing. It wasn't that cold but somehow managed to cause Zhan's heart to shiver realizing what he was about to do. The sun hung low on the horizon emitting salmon colored rays. The light fell on Yibo's face accentuating his handsome features. Zhan turned around, soaking in this beautiful boy, his hand almost reaching to grab that face yet he stopped himself.

"About what happened the other night.." he paused trying to read Yibo's expression. Yibo braced himself, suddenly feeling a heavy sense of foreboding in his heart. Xiaozhan composed himself then said: "I hope you can forget about it...we were both drunk and.."

"I..I don't want to" cuts Yibo, his face flustered, grabbing Xiaozhan's hand. "I'm sure you felt something for me", Yibo came closer to plant a kiss on Xiaozhan's lips only to be stopped by Xiaozhan's finger.

Xiaozhan looked away:"Please Yibo, forget about us.. you lied to me about your age. I would never date my student.. Our ages are too far apart plus I don't do relationships." Yibo's face paled, his heart dropped. This was his worst nightmare coming true.

How could this guy he made love so passionately with just couple days back was so ready to dump him. "Our ages weren't so far apart.. I'm sure you felt something for me Zhange Prove me wrong. Kiss me and tell me you truly felt nothing!" Yibo dared.

He then pushed Xiaozhan to the wall and pushed their lips together. The kiss made Xiaozhan shiver. Their hot breaths intertwined. Xiaozhan tried his best to resist but he felt his knees grew weak and he almost returned the kiss before snapping himself to reality. He mustered the last strain of his sanity and lunged his knees to kick Yibo in the groin, his hand pushing him away.

Yibo fell to the ground wincing from the pain. Xiaozhan's heart thumping ever so loudly. "That ought to wake you up. It was only a one night stand. Just forget about it." Xiaozhan said coldly. "And from now on, its Xiao laoshi." with that, Zhan left, closing the door behind him.

Zhan ran down the stairway. He didn't stop running until he reached his car in the parking lot. Zhan sat in his car regaining his breath. He felt annoyed that he had to witness Yibo becoming clingy to him. He hated the look in his eyes when he begged him not to leave. He hated having to push him away like that. He hated that he had to say those words that hurt him. He hated he did that to his own student. He hated. 

Driving home, he turned up the radio hoping the loud song could wash away the scene that haunted him. He never felt any serious feelings for anyone. He always preferred a physical relationship with no attachments as he did not like to deal with the emotional drama that comes with being in a relationship. This too shall pass he assured himself. 

'It was for the best. I did do my best. He needed to move on. He's so pure he's better off with someone else his age and not waste his youth on someone frivolous like me.' Zhan consoled himself. 'He will get over me. He will. I'm sure. Or rather I'll make sure of it.'
