"xiao we're leaving wake up," you gently tapped him. you were becoming numb as it's been almost two hours since you've sat here.

his eyes opening up and pulling away he rubbed his eyes to wake himself up even more before he realized what he just did.

"did I make you sit there this whole time?" xiao's eyes widen staring at you stretch your arms feeling a swarm of guilt wash over him.

"yeah but it's okay you got some sleep that's all that matters," you responded not seeing it as a big deal. you could tell he was exhausted and had trouble sleeping so it was basically an achievement to be able to put him to sleep like that.

great, he was a burden to someone once again. "milkshakes on the way?" "milkshakes on the way!"

he just thought of it as a way to repay you but the others had overheard the conversation. "is this the 20th date you guys have had? goddam spare some for us," hu tao teased.

"die in your sleep," xiao glared at all of them and they just all laughed before walking off. Venti was hanging on to kazuha as he was blabbering random shit. At that moment Kazuha honestly looked done with life.

"you never denied it," you cooed and xiao walked off without not saying anorher word. "are you embarrassed? xiaoo wait up," you yelled catching up with him running out of the room.

You were about to turn the corner when xiao had suddenly grabbed your arm pulling you closer to him. Apparently, you were about to run into someone which was the only reason why he pulled you into him like that.

Disappointed.

"y/n? what are you doing here?" a familiar voice called out with a happy tone.

bye end my misery right now.

"hi reki," you greeted but instantly regretted it. what the fuck were you doing? maybe it was the attachment issues you had.

"oh... you're here with xiao. did you guys have fun doing karaoke?" he smiled. "yeah we did what about you?" you responded.

you didn't know why you were being so nice to him. maybe for four years he was your best friend and boyfriend he may not be the boyfriend anymore but he was still a nice supportive person to you.

"we just finished too! can I walk you home?" he offered. "uh sorry I'm already going home with xiao, maybe next time?" you declined. of course there really was no next time.

"ah I see... next time then. good night y/n if you ever need me just text me okay?" he smiled waving you a goodbye. Reki was a nice person he had no bad intentions towards xiao and you.

you just wonder why he left you in the first place but you didn't have the guts to ask. the past was the past, there's no going back anyway.

"good night reki," you waved back before turning around and walking away with xiao who stayed silent not wanting to interrup the conversation.

he was confused as to why you were so friendly with your ex. hu tao had told him about all sorts of stuff happening at school how girls would usually hold a grudge against their ex's.

now you? you just confused him.

"xiao!" reki shouted forming his hand into a fist. he tightened the grip standing the staring at the ground.

"what?" xiao replied stopping in his place and turning his head around. you did the same worried on what reki was up to.

"you! I want y/n and you want y/n! I want a competition, whoever loses has to leave her." Reki challenged and your jaw droppped.

excuse me?

"xiao don't listen to him he's still a child and he doesn't know what he's saying-"

"sure," he accepted cutting you off and you felt the ground collapse under your feet. why were you being used as a prize? reki needs to shut the fuck up.

are you serious?

"he's rubbing his idiocy on you just ignore him," you sighed. reki had nodded with a huge smile happy to know he had a competition now.

reki always was competitive but you didn't think his competitive side would show up right now.

"I won't lose anyway."
