"Sir, why is your head ?"

Sehun spent the next hour trying to light up the mood after Luhan's sudden question to the principal.

"He asked him why is his head . Bold people are supposed to have '' heads" cried Sehun to his friend, Kai. He felt completely hopeless with his classmate, Luhan.

Luhan is a newly transferred Chinese student to Sehun's college. They were chosen as partners for their new project. The Chinese boy glued himself to Sehun since then. Not allowing any private space for the latter.

" head" repeated Kai after him, then suddenly burst out in laughter. "That could be a pretty good joke. head, bare head." he continued.

"That was absolutely not a funny thing to say to our principal, okay? Stupid Chinese doll." muttered Sehun before pushing food into his mouth. "If you say so."
"Sehun ah." a soft voice called him from behind. . "Oh, Luhan!" called Kai before beaming and patting the seat next to him. "Come join us."

"Oh, thank you Kai ssi." smiled Luhan before adjusting himself next to the tanned skinned boy. "Drop the formalities, Lu. Just call me Kai." and he gave the smaller boy one of his dazzling smiles.

"Okay, Kai." smiled Luhan back. At this moment, Sehun felt out of place. Before he knew it, he said "It's weird how you know the formalities but you don't know that a hairless head is called 'bold' and not ''." he scoffed.

"I'm sorry." the blonde lowered his head. "It's just that my Korean isn't that good." he explained while avoiding eye contacts with Sehun.

"That has nothing to do with your Korean. There's something wrong with your brain. Asking the principal why is he bold. Out of all people, the principal? So what if he's bold. Like ing seriously Luhan. We were supposed to talk to him about our new project not discuss his hairless head." scolded Sehun. He was burning inside. Handling Luhan was too much.

Everything was too much for him. And with that, he got up and pushed the chair back rather roughly, to finally leave a dumbfounded Luhan and a non-interested Kai.

"But I'm sorry.." let out Luhan while watching an angry Sehun's back retreating in the crowd. "Don't worry, Lu. He's just not in the mood lately. He has a lot to deal with. Just ignore him and you'll be fine." reassured him Kai while patting his back. "I hope so." sighed Luhan before flashing a thankful smile to Kai. "Oh, isn't that Lay? Hey, Lay!" called Kai, waving to the said boy. "Oh, hey." smiled Lay as soon as he spotted the boy calling him.

"Guys, you didn't see Joonmyun? I need to talk to him about something." asked Lay as he scooted himself on Sehun's abandoned chair. "I have no ide-"
"Actually, I saw him with Kyungsoo moments ago. They were heading to the music room." pointed Luhan while patting himself mentally for his good memory.

"With Kyungsoo?" both boys choked out, confusing the blond boy. "They were alone?" asked Kai, gaze boring into Luhan. "I-I guess. I saw no one with them." stuttered Luhan because both Kai and Lay were glaring at him and he had no idea what he did wrong this time.
", I gotta go. Catch you later guys." Said Kai as he grabbed his backpack, getting ready to leave. "Wait, I'm coming too. See you later, Luhan." waved Lay giving the doe-like-eyed boy a small smile. And with that, they were gone.

Sehun ah. Sehunnie. Hun. Luhan's voice kept repeating itself in Sehun's head and it was suffocating to the latter. He couldn't even concentrate on the book he was reading.

"Sehun ah." NOOOOO. "I was looking for you everywhere. Hiding under trees is so childish." laughed Luhan while helping himself next to Sehun who just sighed but didn't bother to reply nor look at the smaller boy.

"Are you still mad at me? I promise I won't do such stupid things anymore. Really." Luhan's voice sounded pleading, too much for Sehun to resist. "I was mad, but not anymore." said Sehun while his eyes were still focused on his book. He didn't want to look at Luhan for the moment, he had no idea why.
"Sehun ah." Luhan's voice has always sent shivers down Sehun's spine. It was electrifying. "Hmm." hummed Sehun in response. "Should we go get some bubble tea? I mean, if you're free and you have nothing to do. If you're busy, it's okay I understa-"
"Okay" cut him off Sehun. "Let's go."

Awkward. Thought Luhan as he took another sip of his bubble tea. They were silent all the way to the shop. And so they are now. Sehun looked focused on his drink. Like he was in his own world. Luhan couldn't help but find him cute.

If there's anything that got Sehun high, it was bubble tea. He loved it more than he loved his own family. Maybe not. He felt kind of comfortable, just sitting there, enjoying his drink, alone..

Wait, Luhan.

As he looked up from his drink, he was faced with a smiling Luhan. He looked lost in his thoughts tho'. Looking at Sehun like he was some kind of unicorn or something. "Eh, Luhan-"
"You're cute." suddenly blurted out Luhan causing the latter to blush furiously. "Eh." was all Sehun could let out.

Luhan didn't realize what he was saying until he noticed Sehun looking at him with wide eyes and pink cheeks. "I- I mean, cute, you, yeah. Oh never mind." he wanted to defend himself but he didn't know how.

"You're cute too." mumbled Sehun, not looking up from his drink. Luhan felt the heat rush to his cheek. Sehun never complimented him. But here he was, telling him that he finds him cute. "Ah, yeah. Thank you."
 

"You told him that he's cute?" asked Kai, an evil grin spreading all over his face. "Stop with that stupid smile of yours." said Sehun as he kicked Kai in the chin, annoyed. He knew that it was going to be a huge mistake to tell Kai about it. He chose to ignore him and continue his lecture.

"Do you like Luhan?" asked Kai suddenly, leaning down on Sehun's lap. "Everyone likes Luhan" answered Sehun without looking at the latter. "do you?" insisted Kai, smiling like an idiot. "He's my project partner. Nothing special." said Sehun, totally convinced by his answer as he patted himself on the head mentally.

"Oh Sehun, do you like the Chinese stupid doll Luhan, yes or no?" reformed Kai his question, the curiosity killing him. "No." scoffed Sehun as he pushed Kai away from his lap. "Cool, I can have him for myself now." laughed Kai, not forgetting to peek on Sehun's expression. He felt satisfied as he saw Sehun stiffening. "I thought you like that food man. What is he called? Oh, Kyungsoo." rolled Sehun his eyes before adjusting himself on his bed and looking back at his book. That, he was glad to notice, shut Kai up nicely.
 

The next day, Sehun was surprised to see Luhan waiting for him outside their class door.

"Sehun ah, good morning" smiled Luhan as he greeted the younger boy. Sehun could tell he was nervous but he didn't know why. "Yeah, morning." he replied shortly, shooting the latter a question look as in why-are-you-here. Luhan got it quickly and began to explain. "I need favor. My roommate, Yixing, he invited his boyfriend, Suho, over for tonight. I can't stay there. God knows what they'll do. And I, you know. I don't know lots of people in here. I, I was wondering if I can spend the night over." finished Luhan, not looking at Sehun. His face was all red, and his hands were shaking.

"You're a social butterfly, Luhan. You could ask some other people, you know." said Sehun, looking down at Luhan. "I just don't trust everyone." replied Luhan, chewing on his bottom lip, hands locked together behind his back. Sehun wondered if the shorter boy could get any more adorable. He felt happy though, that Luhan trusted him enough.

"We need to get to our classes." pointed Sehun before entering the class and taking a seat at the back. Luhan just followed, sitting next to the taller boy.

Their last class was about to end and Luhan didn't know what to do now. Since Sehun didn't agree to let him spend the night at his house, which was very expected from him, he had to look for another place. He can't afford spending the night at his roomdorm with the two boys in there. It was just ew. He wondered if he should go to some hotel or something.

Once they were dismissed by their professor, Luhan started heading out. He still needed to get a place to stay at for the night. He was surprised to feel someone pulling him from his arm. He turned his gaze to find it was Sehun. He looked at him confused.

"What? You need to get your clothes, I'm not lending you mine. There's no way." he said while pulling Luhan along. The latter didn't realize when he started grinning like an idiot.

Sehun chuckled once he noticed Luhan's expression.

"Woah, your place is huge." admired Luhan once they got in Sehun's apartment. "You never told me that you're a rich , Sehun ah." he added as he wandered around with an amazed expression. Sehun thought it was cute. "My life is not really your business, Luhan." he said coldly, but he quicky realized it and cursed himself mentally for his lame words.

"But we're friends, how could it not be my business? I even buy you bubble tea everyday." pouted Luhan, crossing his arms over his chest. "Yeah, sure. Whatever." rolled Sehun his eyes at the older boy before taking off his jacket and throwing it on the sofa in the living room.

"Help yourself." he told Luhan before disappearing into one of the rooms. The older boy felt like he was out of place as he scooted himself on the large sofa, feeling the material under his hand as he roamed it around the seats. He never lived in such a huge and beautiful place. Even his parents' house wasn't this big. He smiled at the sad memories of the past, remembering how hard his parents worked to afford him the good terms of living. He was thankful though. He had the best parents in the world.

"I told you to help yourself, not to sit on my sofa and ruin it with your hands." Luhan was snapped out of his thoughts as he felt Sehun slapping his hands off the sofa. He was dressed in some gray sweatpants and a black t-shirt. His hair was wet, and a towel was dropped over his shoulders. "It's expensive. Don't touch it like that." he scolded him as he allowed himself to get luhan up with one slight pull.

"Ouch, it's just a couch, Sehun ah." pouted Luhan as he looked up at Sehun with his doe like eyes. Sehun immediately looked away, an unfamiliar tightening in his chest made him question himself. "Go to take a shower, I finished already. I'll see what I'll get us for dinner." he pointed at the direction of the bathroom. Luhan only nodded, grabbing his bag and heading toward the bathroom.

"This is going to be a ing long night." sighed Sehun as he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, but this time, for two.

"Sehun ah" called Luhan when they were on the dinning table, eating. "This is really good. I never thought that you could cook." smiled Luhan as he thumbed up. Sehun just chuckled at the supposed to be older boy in front of him. "Just eat and shut up." he demanded.

"I was just trying to be nice." let out Luhan as his smile became smaller but didn't leave his lips. Sehun instantly felt bad for him. In order to make up for his lame attitude, he put more food into Luhan's plate. To his surprise, Luhan just grinned and proceeded to eat it all. He finally released a breath he didn't realize he was holding back.

"I feel like eating ice-cream." blurted out Luhan when they were watching Tv, sitting on the sofa (Sehun didn't miss the chance to warn Luhan about not ruining it.) "I think I have some in the fridge." told him Sehun, eyes always focused on the Tv. Luhan jumped off the sofa and ran to the kitchen, seconds later, he was running back with two pots of ice-cream. Once he sat beside Sehun, he handed him a pot with a grin. Sehun, again, felt that tightening in his chest. He grabbed the pot quickly and turned to face the screen quickly but not before whispering a thank you to Luhan.

The movie they were watching was interesting, at least to Sehun. He was totally focused on that movie until he felt a weight on his shoulder. He looked down to find Luhan's head on it. The older boy seemed to be sleeping.

"Luhan, luhan." he nudged the older boy slightly to wake him up. "Luhan, go sleep in-" he was cut off as Luhan threw his arms around him, burying his head in the younger boy's neck. "Oh my god. Help." yelped Sehun in horror as he wished some tornado would crush into the living room and get Luhan away from him.

"What am I supposed to do? Luhan, wake up. You're hugging me.." pleaded Sehun, almost crying at the last part.

What people never knew was that Sehun was a Haphophobic. He panics whenever someone tries to touch him, or gets too close to him. And Luhan's position wasn't helping that much.

Soon, he started feeling Luhan's warm breath steady on his neck. He didn't know why or how but that feeling calmed him down and he started drifting to sleep, as well.

Later that night, Sehun woke up. He looked around to find himself sleeping on his sofa.

Since when does he sleep on the sofa? He questioned himself confused.

He was about to stand up and leave before he turned out and saw Luhan thrown on the other side of the Sofa. He instantly remembered their previous awkward position and felt relieved that he was no longer in it. That feeling vanished away as he noticed that Luhan was trembling, hard.

"Luhan." called Sehun as he scooted himself closer to the boy, turning him around to take a look at his face. He was surprised that he no longer panicked when coming into a physical contact with the latter. Once he turned his face to look at him, he tried to slightly slap his cheeks to wake him up but was met with wetness all over his hand. Luhan was crying, in his dreams. He gasped, not knowing what to do. He did what every man in his situation would do, he shook Luhan till the older boy was totally awake, with his eyes wide open.

"Luhan, are you okay?" asked Sehun, the worry obvious in his voice. He tried to wipe the tears away from the older's cheeks, but they kept getting wet again as Luhan's tears poured down even more powerfully.

"Sehun ah, why did you leave? Am I that annoying? That everyone is leaving me alone?" Chocked Luhan on his words. tears still pouring down. "I didn't leave. It was just a dream. It's okay now. It's okay." reassured him Sehun, patting his head. He knows he at comforting people.

"Sehun ah." he let out, choking on his sobs as he reached his arms out and hugged Sehun closer, arms around his neck. "I love you, a lot." Sehun could feel himself get warmer, Luhan lips were ghosting over his, with his gaze boring into him like an opened book. He liked the feeling, it was unfamiliar, foreign and alien, but he still liked it, a lot.

"Luhan." And with that, their lips touched. Sehun felt his whole body shiver. Luhan's lips were soft, so soft that he thought they would melt any minute now so he kept pressing harder against Luhan's mouth. In response, Luhan let out a soft whimper, clinging on Sehun tightly . "Sehun ah" he mumbled against the called boy's lips.

"I can get used to this. I want to get used to this."


The next day, everyone was shooting Sehun and Luhan confused looks. Sehun was certain that it was because of their intertwined fingers.


"And I was the one getting worried." chuckled Kai before turning his gaze so that he was staring at his Kyungsoo, or more like stalking him.
