A/N: I just promised
envybleedsgreen some mindless fluff... and I just whipped this one up. I'll definitely probably continue it later! I'm sorry it doesn't have really fluffy moments.
"Ew… That's gross, you guys."
Sehun observed as Luhan scrunched his face up in distaste at the scene in front of them.

Chanyeol had brought over a cake to "celebrate the momentous occasion of our little Sehunnie finally graduating from high school," as he had so eloquently put it. Unfortunately, just as Sehun had suspected, it was all just an excuse to have a hands-free cake-eating contest with all of their friends.
Just as Sehun had begun taking large bites of the large chunk of sugary confection laid out on a plate in front of him, contemplating all the while about how to get himself out of clean-up duty, Luhan and Jongin had walked through the front door.
Jongin had given the small party (consisting of Chanyeol, Baekhyun, and Sehun) one look and then busted out in a fit of laughter, nearly hitting his head against the counter.
Luhan, on the other hand, had furrowed his eyebrows and plopped his bag on the ground by the door.
-
The cake-eating contest turned into Chanyeol chasing Baekhyun around the room trying to convince him that he would look and taste much better with cake slathered on him. Baekhyun jumped over the furniture and squealed as Chanyeol launched pieces of yellow sponge cake at him. They both tripped and fell over Jongin, who was sleeping, despite all of the chaos.
Pink frosting was getting all over the carpet. Sehun sighed in misery.
And, to make matters worse, Luhan was sitting next to him, legs folded up neatly, and looking at the room as if he were inside of a destitute hospital instead of Sehun's small apartment.
"Um… Luhan, is there a problem?" Sehun didn't really want to know the answer, but he wasn't able to form anything else that was near the threshold of normalcy.
"No… It's just kind of messy in here," Luhan pursed his lips, and Sehun thought that even this action was cute despite the older boy having indirectly called him a slob. "And they're getting cake all over my stuff," he shot a look at Chanyeol and Baekhyun who were laughing and rolling around on the floor.
Sehun cringed. This wasn't the first impression he wanted to make.

Luhan was Jongin's friend, and they had met through Yixing who attended the local dance studio that Jongin frequented. Sehun had kind-of-sort-of met him by chance when he was walking with Jongin back from school, and Luhan had greeted Jongin in passing.
"WHO IS THAT," Sehun had practically shouted, eyes bulging.
Jongin had just patted Sehun's head, in a manner that Sehun found to be incredibly patronizing, and replied, "Oh, that's Luhan hyung. He's a friend. Pretty, huh?"
"PRETTY? JONGIN, LILIES ARE PRETTY. BUT HE IS AN ORCHID. AN ABSOLUTE ORCHID."
"Sehun, please, we are in public, and he is not an actual flower," Jongin had punched Sehun in the arm, then. Jongin was more buff than he looked.
Sehun had sulked, clutching his left arm pitifully.
"Oh, come on," Jongin patted his back, still patronizing, Sehun noted, and said, "I'll introduce you to him sometime."
-
"Your…backpack is really nice," Sehun managed. He mentally facepalmed for the pathetic attempt at starting conversation with the radiant boy sitting next to him.
"Thanks," Luhan shrugged nonchalantly. "It's MCM."
Silence followed, and Sehun decided that all hope was lost because he was the loser amongst all losers and that Luhan would never even take a second look at him because, God, he couldn't even bear to look at himself.
Then, by some miracle, as Sehun was mentally berating himself, Luhan piped up with a, "Hey, Sehun-ah, do you want to go do something else?"
Sehun nearly fell over backwards when he heard this. The way that Luhan had said "Sehun-ah" was magical because he was magical and that was that.
He heard Jongin shouting a supportive, "DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE, OH SEHUN," from across the room, and he would have thrown something at his friend if he wasn't in seventh heaven at the moment.
Instead, he settled for yelling back, "YOU ARE A COMPLETE ASSHOLE."
Luhan gave him a shocked look, eyes wide and mouth slightly agape.
Sehun realized a bit too late that Luhan was probably incredibly sheltered or something because someone who looked like an angel couldn't possibly condone swearing.
But then again, he hung out with Jongin…
"So, do you?" When Sehun finally collected his thoughts, Luhan was peering curiously at him. The breath hitched in his throat when Luhan blinked rapidly in what Sehun thought was a very very very cute gesture.
"Of..Of course," Sehun stuttered. "Yeah, I would love to go out with you!"
Luhan stared. Sehun actually slapped himself this time and groaned with pain.
To his surprise, Luhan exploded in a peal of melodic laughter, "Bubble tea, then?"
