He expected this to be easy.

He did not realize what he was getting himself into.

Xingsi knows what he wants in a relationship, he knows what he wants and he's going to get it.

Even if that means teaching his new boyfriend how to use his words occasionally.

a/n: this was requested? it took me so much time? im so sorry?

pairing: zhu xingjie x reader

genre: fluff

trigger warning: mention of hypothetical car crash

it was one of those weird autumn days where you didn’t know what to do.

it was 10 am, it was cold, and you didn’t even know why you were up this early

you literally had no real reasons to do that,

and everything was going wrong since you had woken up tbh.

you had missed your bus, and nothing else was available

you were just a rat in the middle of the street 🐀

but it was still early, you had faith in this day

as someone wise once said;

“the early bird catches the worm”

but you had no worm to catch, honey.

so you were now walking in the street, a bit lost, engulfed in your scarf, searching for somewhere to go, something to do.

honestly, you were so close to turn back and go back home

but this happened.

you were walking, head down, because the wind felt like knives against your skin

you raised your head a little, for an instant

and you saw him, a total stranger

he was on his bike, with his backpack on

your eyes met, for a brief second

it was enough for you to feel strangely attracted to a whole stranger

you got him pretty much interested too.

so interested he couldn’t stop looking at you.

all of sudden, you heard a loud crash

you turned in direction of the noise and??

bike boy? had fallen?

without thinking twice, you ran to bike boy

there was no need to run since he was 2 meters away but hey, do ur thing babe

bike boy was now broken and useless bike boy

both of you watched his front wheel rolling away, in disbelief

you asked him in a panicked voice if he was okay, helping him to get back on his feet

and then

he answered you that he was fine.

and you thought:

1) fuck, his voice

2) i’m the one who isn’t fine anymore

so you muttered a lil ‘ok’ while staring at him

he was kinda cute

fuck it, he was highkey cute with his big scarf and slightly red nose

he reached out to grab his backpack, which was on the pavement

it was all destroyed and fucked up

poor bike boy looked so sad

you wanted to hug him

but y’all were still in between the road and the pavement.

cars are angry at this time in the morning, and you almost got hit by a car

both of you ran to the pavement, so you wouldn’t diE you see

and it was very awkward.

both of you were stealing glances at each other

in silence.

at some point, he said, softly,

“you don’t have to stay to look after me, i’ll just go in a café and find something to do”

you felt like it was your chance

“well. you could’ve died because of me, we might aswell go somewhere together, no?”

you had been too bold

your face was literally red

but he looked at you, softly smiling

“i’m up for it. the last one to arrive at the starbucks pays for the other.”

he arrived first

but he still payed for you
