Chapter 10

Stay With Me

Thankfully, Baekhyun's third and fourth class went by without any complications nor mental damage.

He actually had his fourth class and his break with Luhan as well, to his surprise. He was still sort of relieved, nonetheless.

And this time, Baekhyun made sure he was the first out of the class room; Luhan right behind him.

He was trying to keep his head in the game and set rules for himself: no more being late at all, do not do anything to get you in trouble, and keep your grades up over everything. The last thing Baekhyun needed was a low grade. Like a B for example. That was simply not acceptable in Baekhyun's mind.

Both boys strolled down the concrete when Luhan spoke up. "So how do you like it here, Baekhyun?" Said boy pursed his lips and put his hands behind his back.

"Ehh..." was Baekhyun's response. He wasn't exactly sure how he felt about it so far. The environment was great and certainly beautiful, but he just wasn't feeling his classes so far. And a certain devil teacher, as well...

Luhan understood Baekhyun's reply. "Trust me, you'll get used to it. When I first started here, oh my god, it was the worst."

Baekhyun laughed through his nose and they both neared a shaded bench under a tree. "Here, let's sit." Luhan agreed and cheerfully plopped down first, the shorter boy following after. They were silent for a good few minutes, both desperately waiting for the other to bring up some conversation starter.

Everything is always so awkward when it involves Baekhyun....

The older boy looked at Baekhyun with half-seriousness and brought up one of his more sensitive topics. "So, Baekhyun. I've noticed you're not really the talkative kind of person."

How is Baekhyun supposed to respond? Just agree and then carry on the silence just like before? This was always one of the reasons behind his being picked on in high school.

"Uh, yeah, I guess.." Baekhyun thought was safe enough.

"You don't have many friends, do you?" He could feel Luhan's burning stare and it was definitely making him uncomfortable. Baekhyun shuffled in his seat and looked at the ground.

"Not particula-"

"That's great!" Luhan clapped his hands together.

Baekhyun gave the boy a blank stare and raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?" Luhan gave him an overly excited smile.

"I'll be your friend, Baekhyun." He put his hand over his heart and closed his eyes, nodding slowly, trying to act like some... generous angel who actually cares for other's well-being.

Baekhyun couldn't help but take this as a joke.

"Thanks, but it doesn't really bother me that much."

"Really? How can that not both- Sehunnie!" Luhan's attention suddenly was drawn to something else. Or rather someone. Baekhyun curiously turned to see the boy as well.

Sehun smiled and looked happy to see Luhan. He walked towards the two with his hands in his pockets. "Hey, babe." Babe?

Luhan scooted over towards Baekhyun to make more room, which made him move as well. He patted the spot next to him and Sehun happily obliged.

Baekhyun thought he looked familiar.... had he seen him somewhere?

It quickly became awkward with Baekhyun's unnecessary presence. It was obvious something was going on between these two, and them totally ignoring him didn't help against it. And just like before, Baekhyun sat in silence.

He felt alone as there was no other choice than to listen to the affectionate conversation going on next to him.

They were sitting closely next to each other with no room in between; their fingers intertwined. Luhan swung his crossed ankles back and forth underneath the bench and Baekhyun could see him turning to look at Sehun every once in a while. He could hear the smiles in their voices as they talked. Had they just forgotten about Baekhyun's existence...?

"So how's your first day going?" Sehun asked. Baekhyun seemed to be hearing a lot of that lately.

Luhan's shoulder leaned into the boy. "It's okay, so far. What about you?"

"Did you have fun without me?" Sehun pouted, not answering the returned question. "But I missed you," he mumbled, sticking out his lip. Luhan giggled at his actions.

Baekhyun cringed. This is too cheesy for him to just sit by and listen to.

Sehun let go of the boy's hand and wrapped his arm around the smaller boy's shoulders, pulling him in close. Luhan let him and rested his head on Sehun's shoulder.

"You couldn't have missed me too much. We basically see each other 24/7," Luhan spoke quietly. "And you knew that we had break together."

"I know. But still." He hugged him tighter. "I can miss you whenever I want so be quiet." Luhan smiled and didn't argue with that.

And Baekhyun was about to die. He couldn't handle all this cheesiness. He couldn't believe they still hadn't noticed him there, they were so caught up in each other. For the sake of his own mental health, he needed to escape these two... obsessed creeps.

So he did just that and inhaled deeply, shooting up from the bench with a loud creaking sound. This finally got their attention. Luhan's head quickly snapped around and up to look at Baekhyun. Sehun tilted his head to get a better view at him as well.

"I'm sorry but I think I'll leave you two alone now." Baekhyun planned to just turn around and instantly walk away, but before he could do so, Sehun's words stopped him.

"Wait, I know you!" He pointed to the boy, finally acknowledging his existence, and trying to remember where he knew him from. Baekhyun stopped and didn't respond. He just let the boy try and remember because he obviously was not in the mood to put thought into anything.

"You know Baekhyun?" Luhan's voice was directed to Sehun with slight interest and curiosity.

Sehun took glances between Baekhyun and Luhan, still trying to figure it all out.

"Yeah..." he tried to recall his recent memories as he replied and squinted his eyes. Luhan waited and continued to contently hold onto his left hand.

"Hmm... ah! My taco!" Sehun's face brightened and he sat straight up. His eyes stayed on Baekhyun to see if he rang a bell. It took a few seconds, but it finally clicked.

Wait, this is the guy with the taco? Now the whole situation was flooding back into his mind. He was saying something about a penguin. Ohhhh... this is that one weird guy...

"You took my taco!" He argued, still clearly upset about the whole thing.

Luhan just sat there and observed everything that was going on.

And now Baekhyun guessed it was his turn to speak. "Yeah, that was me," he said bluntly. "Sorry, but it was a good taco." As quickly as he finished, he shoved his hands in his pockets and spun around, heading in the opposite direction. He didn't mean to sound like a jerk or anything, he just really needed to leave that disgusting atmosphere. Baekhyun could hear Luhan's laughter in the background.

As he continued wandering around campus, he realized he still had quite a large amount of time left before his next class (which he was not looking forward to). Clearing his mind, Baekhyun couldn't stop himself from thinking about Chanyeol. What class is he in? Did he make any new friends? Did he hate it just as much as Baekhyun did?

Then it struck him. Was he never going to be able to see Chanyeol at all during school hours? Was there only time together going to be at home? Even that wouldn't really work if Baekhyun was going to be doing homework and spend most of his time in his room.

Baekhyun's mood dropped. He slowed his pace and observed his surroundings and the people around him. Nobody familiar, just some faces he remembered from a couple of his classes.

He noticed a group of people with a quite a few people. Baekhyun's eyes squinted to get a closer look at all of them laughing and smiling. He furrowed his eyebrow when a well familiar face caught his attention. Chanyeol?

Didn't Chanyeol have a class now?

Baekhyun found his feet automatically moving towards the boy.

As he came closer, he waited and hoped for Chanyeol to notice him at least.

"Chanyeol!" He exclaimed a few feet behind the boy. He turned around curiously and widened his eyes with a smile to match.

"Baekhyun!" Chanyeol waves a goodbye to his group of newfound friends and came closer to Baekhyun. "You don't have a class?"

Baekhyun shook his head, "nope. What are you doing out here? I thought you had a class at this time?" He crossed his arms and look up at him. Chanyeol's smile lowered into a closed, more warming one.

"This is my only break." He answered. "But wait, we both don't have classes now? I didn't think we would to see each other." Chanyeol mumbled the last sentence and looked down.

Baekhyun laughed and spoke at his reaction, "what? Did you want to see me that badly?"

A slight but noticeable blush spread across Chanyeol's face, but he didn't seem to realize. "Yeah, my heart was aching for you, Baek." He sarcastically clutched onto his chest as he played along and laughed afterwards. Somewhere deep inside of the shorter boy couldn't help but hope his words were true. Didn't Baekhyun erase all of his beginning feelings? He shook it off and simply replied with a joking smile.

Chanyeol started heading off and Baekhyun took it as for him to follow. The two walked side by side at a slow pace, taking in everything and just enjoying what was happening at that moment.

The silence was at all awkward and both of them knew what the other was doing. Just admiring the weather and their surroundings and the environment and the it was just all so peaceful. Baekhyun wished he could just stay here all day. (But, you know, not have classes and such.) There was no place on Earth as pretty as this. Not even in America.

"You were right." Chanyeol began through the silence.

"What? About what?"

"About school. It's actually pretty fun." He ended with a smile of approval. Baekhyun scoffed.

"Yeah, so fun." Baekhyun crossed his arms in front of him and rolled his eyes.

Chanyeol mock-gasped and pretended to be shocked. "What? The Byun Baekhyun doesn't enjoy school? I am shocked." Said boy pushed his shoulder and laughed at the little scene he was making.

"What happened to 'how is school boring?' and 'I love school!' and 'wow, school is so great!'..?"

Baekhyun was pretty sure he's never said those words. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Uh huh. Okay, if you say so."

 

They continued walking and kept the conversation going until one of them realized something probably important.

Baekhyun stopped. "Wait a minute. Are we lost?" He looked around nervously and put his eyes on Chanyeol for a reaction of some sort. All he got was the taller boy biting his lip and shrugging his shoulders. Oh great...

Why did this school have to be so freaking huge?

"Let's just go the back the way we came."

Chanyeol nodded in agreement.

As they walked back, he noticed a huge building with multiple windows equally placed on the wall. "Hey, are those dorms?" Chanyeol pointed out. This school had dorms?

Baekhyun checked out what he was talking about with just as much curiosity. "I guess. I didn't even know they had dorms here." Chanyeol gasped resulting in the older boy giving hive weird looks.

"What so exciting about that?" Baekhyun narrowed his eyes. He had a small idea of what Chanyeol could be thinking, but he doubted it. "Hmm...?"

"Baek! I just had a great a idea!"

Chanyeol kept it to himself, and Baekhyun waited from him to say. A part of him already guessed what he was going to say, but he actually wanted to hear it for himself. "Chanyeol?"

"Huh?"

Seriously?

"What is your great idea?" He used air quotes. The taller boy paused a moment before answering.

"We...."

"Uh huh....."

"..should..."

"Yeah..."

Chanyeol paused for dramatic affect.

"...move into a dorm! Just the two of us!" Chanyeol seemed over-excited, while Baekhyun let the idea sink in.

Living together? Alone? Just the two of them? Sleeping in the same room?

Isn't that basically how a married couple lives?

These thoughts were the first thing to swarm Baekhyun's mind and he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed while Chanyeol was in front of him and in his own little world; muttering thoughtful words to himself.

He would definitely have to think about this.

 

 

 

 

 


A/N Hello there :D

So yeahhh.... dorms hehe. What do you guys think?

I have some ideas in mind, but still planning out how I should/could use them, though...

I originally wasn't going to do the whole "living in dorms" idea, but then I realized that there is just more cute possibilities and just better things for the story if I do that.

I just finished reading a kaisoo fic and I am pretty sure my life will never be the same. Like really omg it's probably one of my new favorites, but I don't think it's really popular idk. It's called 'How To Tame Your Player' (shoutout woo) Have any of you read it?

Also, while we're talking about that, there's another story that literally changed my life and just omg wow I just love it so sososo sososos so so much. Like wow it is probably my #1 favorite fic of all time forever and ever. So amazing. It's called 'I Couldn't Care Less' and then the sequel 'All I Care About', which is just as good. She is such a great author. She is probably my inspiration for even writing my own story, now that I think about it.

JUST GO READ IT AND THANK ME LATER AND WE CAN CRY TEARS OF HAPPINESS AND LOVE TOGETHER

Now away from that, thanks for reading this chapter c:

I know I'm probably annoying some of you with me always saying thank you all the time and then these super long author notes, but please just know that this is just how I get my thoughts out and it's just nice, you know? Please don't mind it.

And yeah, I'm just really thankful and I love all of you so even if you don't want my love I don't care because I am giving it to you and you better like it aND APPREC-

Chapter 14: Ohmy gooooooosssshhhhhhh, I think I'm in love~ Okay, first off, I'm really sorry for not commenting on the precious chapters. I found this story yesterday (AHEM. Because I read your amazing Hunhan 2 shot...cough* And had to see if you had any other amazing fics.) and I could not put it down. I took a break from reading for a while, but then my feels kinda took over and when I found this... I just power read it all in a sitting. 0.0 Ah gee. It's amazzzing! I especially love how the plot and the feelings in this are realistic- and not rushed or sloppy. It's really good. Like, when they do confess to each other... I think I might have a stoke...because how your building it up is soooo cute!!

Ohmygosh. And the mother. XD I seriously wish my mom was as beast as her. I can't even tell you how many times I've cracked up laughing because she was being awesome. Oh, and Sehun with the taco and penguin. Yeah, died there too. 'Just a little.' I convinced my sister to read that part, and she died as well. Lol. Ouuu, I also love how you depicted Luhans personality. Unlike most fics, he wasn't this fragile, soft character, which was a really good change for once. Kind of a relief, actually.

Well. I should stop rambling now... Thank you for making my day awesome, and I shall be anticipating the next chapter~ Flys away on magical unicorn* c:<
