《a set-up》08.

It was the next day now after all the ruckus mostly everyone from school had saw Venti's post including your brother's. Now wherever you go you get questions if you're dating xiao.
Suprisingly, xiao was popular for his looks. He was never approached because of his scary personality and harsh tone but he was still an attractive person.
"hi xiaoo do you wanna ditch the group during lunch and do something?" you whispered. he was sitting next to you since it was history class once again.
"okay," he nodded he felt like getting away from the others anyway. "or maybe next period?" you suggested with a following grin.
"we have class next period?"
"exactly! we skip class and do something fun. the next class isn't even that important anyway we'll be fine," you assured with an untrustworthy smile. xiao hesitated wanting to say no as he didn't want to skip class but the thought of sitting in that room and doing absolutely nothing convinced him.
"I guess," he leaned on his cheek turning the other way and you happily cheered. You already had a spot picked out which was great and an idea to do.
"don't go on your words, okay? meet me at the back of the school."
The next period came and you quickly said your goodbye's to your friend before dashing off. You didn't tell them about it knowing they would most likely spill it on accident.
You just ran for your life hoping the bell wouldn't ring while you were in the building. Luck for you, you made it behind the building just in time to find xiao there waiting.
"I went through all that trouble and here you are not even breaking off a sweat?" You frowned pretty angry at that. He turned around hearing your voice and just shrugged.

"no one noticed me," he looked to the side and you just groaned walking closer. "I have an amazing spot but... do you have your phone?" you questioned.
He gave you a confused look before nodding answering you and you clapped your hands together, "perfect! okay come."
You lead him to a tree that rarely anyone ever noticed. It didn't stand out as much as the others did but you didn't mind since it was a great hiding spot.
You sat behind the tree under the shade and patted the spot beside you inviting xiao to sit with you. He had no other choice but to do so and sat with you bending one of his knees up and letting the other rest on the ground.
"You aren't a pussy right?" You smirked pulling your phone out and opening it. Xiao was still wondering why he even said yes to this stupid idea but once he heard the bell ring he knew there was no turning back.
"no?" he still had no idea what you were up to. "let's play a horror game!" you suggested and he leaned back as his right eye began tk twitch.
"you made me skip class for this?"
"technically, I didn't make you soo you really don't have any other options"
He just gave you a big sigh but gave in anyway. It was always like this, he just never had the strength to say no when it came to you.
He turned on his phone and joined you in the horror game. When the game started and you guys started off in the forest. You insisted on him to go first.
xiao wasn't scared at all he wasn't even terrified of the possibility of something coming at him but he still pretended to be scared and make you go first for his own amusement.

"I actually despise you right? I just died you dickhead," you insulted. When you took the lead for a few seconds something just had tk come at you and chase you.
You were screaming but xiao had used his other hand to cover your mouth to muffle your screams so you guys wouldn't get caught.
Xiao had already ran off before you even started to lead knowing something was going to come and so he lived another day while you died.
"please go first I'm actually about to shed tears like what the fuck was that ?? it was hideous," you cried out accidentally hitting your head on the tree behind you.
You yelped rubbing your head in pain while xiao's eyes slowly looked over to you. He didn't feel anything towards you but one feeling he did feel was comfort.
You made his day so easily just by giving him attention or even speaking with him. To think it was him you chose to play with and skip class for made him smile.
"how about you go first?" xiao hummed afted walking in front of you for a few minutes. he got most of the jumpscares for you which you were happy at.
"only on one condition"
"and what's that?"
"If I don't scream you owe me ten bucks but if I scream I owe you ten bucks, how's that?" you grinned at him.
"sure," he accepted knowing you were going to scream soon enough. you hummed needing to win that so you bit down on your lip to shut you up before walking.
suprisingly, you hadn't screamed at the next few jumpscares or even when the lady chased you. xiao was actually losing and he didn't like it.
you were so focused it was actually pretty cute to xiao. knowing you were so focused he took the opportunity to lean in and whisper in your ear.
"y/n"
HOLY SHIT
you almost screamed at his voice but luckily you didn't. you sighed in relief as you guys finally finished the game meaning you won ten bucks from xiao.
"what a dirty move xiao," you complained setting your phone down and turning to xiao.
"you won anyway," he closed his eyes putting his head against the tree resting. "hah free ten dollars," you threw your arms in the air celebrating.
Your celebrating was soon interrupted when you heard a very familiar voice yelling and walking around the school garden.
"y/n? xiao? i know you guys are here."

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
