so u had been super nervous during ur first semester of collegeย
but after u met xiaojun in ur 8am psych class, things instantly became better
he had quickly become ur closest friend
because hes such a caring soul
like oh ur having a meltdown because u bombed ur midterm?
boom heโs there in ur apartment with some words of encouragement and a shoulder to cry on
or ur โfriendsโ decided to go out for kbbq without u?
well u and him are about to go on the biggest snack raidย at ur local grocery store and then watch shitty romcoms all night in his apartment ๐ค
honestly it didnโt matter if u two had extravagant plans for the day or if u just ended up lying on the floor of his living room talking about the stars and the universe
being with him always made u feel better like heโs just so kind and softhearted and dammit u might be in love with him
so when ur school shut down for the rest of the semester and ur activities together had been abruptly cut short u honestly started to crash
and xiaojun picked up on this immediately bc even if u donโt tell him how ur feeling he Knows when ur not feeling great
so now heโs trying to think of a way to get u out of the house and feeling betterย
and oh my god what better way to do that than with a nice little picnic!! :))
and so heโs hard at work making little snacks and picking out the softest blankets from his closet
he even went out and grabbed some extra little things u two could do together
and after heโs got everything put together he sends u a text thatโs like โmeet me by the lake by campus tomorrow at 11 :))โ
and when u pull up to the lake the next morning and ur just like โ!!! omg ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฅบโ
bc there by the lake is xiaojun along two fluffy blankets and various containers of snacks
and ur just so shocked bc wow heโs such a good guy:โ)
so u take a seat on the blanket across from him and ur thanking him over and over for doing all this
and xiaojun tells u that he just really missed hanging out with u like this so he wanted to plan something nice w u!!
and yea he may be sitting 6 feet away from u but heโs smiling at u so cutely and his eyes r literally sparkling
and ur just basking in the good energy heโs sending ur way
and just when u think heโs pulled out all the stops my guy whips out a whole bunch of colorful paints
bc he knows u like to make art when ur stressed and he thought u guys could paint together ๐๐๐ฅบ
and so now u two are talking about ur lives in quarantine and painting little portraits of each other
and yea xiaojuns painting is a bit ~abstract~ bc he canโt draw for shit but thatโs okay heโs just happy that ur happy and having a good time :โ)
and u really were sososo happy to be outside enjoying the cool breeze and sounds of the lake water gently flowing beside u
but most importantly, u were just glad to be spending time with xiaojun again:โ)
eventually the conversation dies down and ur both just lying down and staring up at the sky
and ur too busy making shapes out of the clouds floating by to notice that xiaojun is literally /sweating/ beside u
bc he had one more thing up his sleeve for this little outing,,he was gonna confess to u !!!
bc honestly heโs been head over heels for u for so long but heโs been sO nervous to tell u like what if u say no and then u start to hate him or something :((
but today heโs just saying fuck it bc itโs been on his mind for literally forever
plus thereโs something a little less intimidating about having u sit 6 feet away for this exchange lol
and so xiaojun Finally sits up and calls out ur name
and ur like ??? and he just tells u to โcatchโ and tosses a small pink box into ur hands
u open the box and inside is this dainty little necklace with a small rose pendant hanging from the chain
and u look back up at xiaojun like โ?!?โ and lowkey his heart is about to fly out of his chest from beating so hard
and heโs kinda stumbling over his words but he eventually manages to collect his thoughts
and heโs like โy/n,,,,I hope youโre not weirded out by this but Iโve had feelings for you for such a long time now a-and like,,,I really just wanted to ask you out because I really really love being by your sideโ
and ur now just staring at him totally speechless and heโs thinkingย shit I fucked upย I fucked upย I fucked up
and u notice that heโs kinda starting to deflate and ur like โnononono im just so shocked because I never thought I would actually have a chance with you and I canโt believe the guy I like actually likes me back ๐ณโ
and oH boY is xiaojun happy to hear this
like heโs smiling and blushing and he canโt even look u in the eye but heโs sososo relieved
and ur thinking like holy shit a cute boy just threw me a picnic and painted with me and then asked me out what kind of wattpad fic am I living in rn
eventually u both begin to talk excitedly about where u two are gonna go on ur first real date once quarantine is over
and then u spend the rest of the afternoon laying on ur back drifting off to sleep while xiaojun hums quietly by ur side :โ)
