Summary: Baekhyun is ditching biology because of a bad hangover and now Jongdae has an empty seat next to him in class. However, it fills up quick when the brooding biker who usually sits in the back decides to sit next to him today
Author's note: Thank you to the prompter who inspired me with their adorable prompt. I'm sorry this is probably not as amazing as it deserved to be.
“I can’t come to class. I’m dying Jongdae!” Baekhyun whimpers into the phone and Jongdae sighs as he walks to campus.
“I told you not to party the night before classes Baekhyun-ah.” he chatters as a particularly cold gust of autumn wind blows. Stupid Baekhyun is probably rolled up like a burrito right now with no worries except a splitting headache, but that's his own doing so Jongdae doesn't care.
“But Kyungsoo was there!- I had to go or someone might try to hit on him before I get to ask him out!” Baekhyun whines and Jongdae groans.
“Baekhyun please, it's eight AM and I have no tolerance for you or your whining this early in the morning.” he says and Baekhyun lets out a whimpering sound that he knows Jongdae is kind of a sucker for. Jongdae hates his best friend. “... fine... I’ll bring you soup or something after class. But please stop complaining, you did this to yourself.” and he expects to hear some protest, but the line is silent before he hears Baekhyun let out a groan.
“I think i'm going to be sick.” is all he hears before the line goes dead and Jongdae rolls his eyes pressing the end call button, and pockets his phone. He hates Baekhyun. Class is already boring, but it’ll be downright terrible without his best friend and Jongdae sighs again.
He’s almost to the building, just passing the student parking lot when he hears a loud engine and he turns to see a student drive in on his motorcycle and park in the spots allotted to scooters and bikes. When the boy takes off his helmet, Jongdae recognizes him as the really hot brooding bad boy who sits in the back of his biology class and sleeps and Jongdae grimaces. The boy is really cute and even Baekhyun gushes about him, but bad boys aren't really Jongdae's type so he turns and walks on.
He gets to class with just a few minutes to spare and takes his usual seat near the middle left of the lecture hall. The spaces all begin to fill up slowly, and Jongdae eyes Baekhyun’s empty seat forlornly as he takes out his laptop and water bottle from his bag and places them on the table. He turns his head for only a quick second to take a sip of water before he’s turning back again, but he almost jumps in fright when he sees Baekhyun’s seat is now taken up by someone. And it's not just anyone, it’s Biker Guy who looks even hotter up close than from afar and Jongdae water goes down the wrong pipe as he starts coughing.
Biker Guy looks worried and then amused as Jongdae tries to breathe normally again and salvage the little bit of pride he has left, and Jongdae pouts because of course he would make a fool of himself in front of such a hot guy. This is all Baekhyun’s fault Jongdae reasons. If Baekhyun hadn't gone to that party last night and then had to skip class today because of a hangover, Biker guy wouldn't have sat in Baekhyun’s seat and Jongdae wouldn’t be humiliating himself in front of him right now. He might’ve made a fool of himself in front of Baekhyun, but he doesn't care about that because Jongdae has seen Baekhyun do worse.
He’s still moping and deep in thought when he feels a tap on his shoulder and he turns to see Biker Guy staring at him.
“Um, I forgot my laptop at home…” he begins and Jongdae dies because for such a big and intimidating person, Biker Boy actually has a fairly soft and sweet voice. Not to mention Jongdae can hear a bit of a lisp and its incredibly cute and endearing. “Would you happen to have some pen and paper?” he asks and Jongdae stares at him dumbly for a second before coming to his senses and shaking his head.
“Ah um yeah I do actually.” he says digging into his bag and pulling out a blue notebook and pen he keeps in there. Usually for Baekhyun because Baekhyun literally rolls out of bed and comes to class empty handed two-thirds of the time.
Jongdae hands the writing material over and the boy takes it gratefully and flips the pages open to see notes already written and he raises an eyebrow.
“My friend usually needs a notebook too.” he says and Biker Boy chuckles before flashing him a crooked smile that hits straight at Jongdae’s heart and he tries not to wheeze.
“Well thank you anyways…um,” He says finding an empty page and listing the date out in neat handwriting at the top. “sorry I didn't catch your name by the way.” Biker guy says and Jongdae nods in welcome.
“It’s Kim Jongdae. And you?” He asks, because he thinks it's a little rude to keep calling him biker guy, even if it's only in his head, and Biker guy smiles and sticks out his hand.
“Oh Sehun” He says smiling- and even biker guy’s name is cool. Jongdae feels a little jealous but biker- he means Sehun, seems like a pretty nice guy though so he doesn't mind too much.
Their teacher is here and starts talking at this point so Jongdae flashes Sehun a smile before he turns back towards his laptop again to pay attention and take notes.
The lecture gets boring and Jongdae can feel his eyelids drooping but he shakes his head to try and stay awake and he looks over to find Sehun passed out over the table with a pencil in hand and he stifles a laugh. Sehun looks really innocent and sweet asleep, and Jongdae misses a good fifteen minutes of notes in favor of just watching Sehun passed out, which is probably pretty creepy but Sehun is really cute he justifies to himself.
The professor is talking about blood vessels and Jongdae turns his head to feign listening and he has a silly smile on his face, but when he looks down once more at Sehun, and the blond’s eyes are wide open now and they are looking at him as Jongdae jolts in surprise and then quickly turns back to the front again.
Jongdae hears Sehun rearrange himself and sit back up ramrod straight- the model of a perfect student, as if he had never been unconscious to the world just a few seconds earlier and Jongdae steals a glance in his peripheral. Sehun is leaned in close to him and Jongdae leans away on impulse but the blond has a hand on his shoulder and pulls him back whispering in his ear.
“Did I miss anything?” he asks and Jongdae is quiet before he breaks into a fit of quiet giggles he has to pretend to mask into a cough because Sehun has literally been asleep this entire time.
“Only like the whole first hour of lecture.” he whispers back laughing and Sehun makes a mournful face so Jongdae consolingly pats his shoulder.
“You can borrow or copy off of my notes if you need.” he says smiling and still laughing lightly and Sehun stares at him oddly so Jongdae starts to feel self conscious. “What?” He asks and Sehun shakes his head.
“Nothing… It’s nothing. But if you're going to let me copy your notes let me treat you to lunch or something after class?” He whispers and Jongdae’s stomach has butterflies.
“Oh you don't have to. I can just email them to you.” He says and Sehun looks conflicted and shakes his head.
“No… I insist. Maybe you can explain some things to me too if I don't understand?” and Jongdae thinks why not. It’s free lunch plus Sehun is super cute… Not that he cares or anything. He definitely does not care how cute Sehun is.
Jongdae finally nods and Sehun breaks into a smile.
“Awesome! Does the diner a few blocks down from campus sound okay?” He asks and that's actually Jongdae’s favourite place to go so he nods enthusiastically and Sehun gives him a thumbs up. “Cool.” He says and then they both turn back to listen to what the professor is saying.
Class goes by fairly fast after that and Jongdae is glad because his tummy is rolling in anticipation. Finally when the Professor ends lecture, Jongdae starts packing up and Sehun tears out the paper he took a handful of notes on at the end of class and hands the notebook and pen back to Jongdae.
“Thanks for letting me borrow those.” He says and Jongdae laughs as he puts them back in his backpack.
“No problem. I’m sorry they couldn't have been of more use.” he teases and Sehun’s cheeks burn pink and he struggles for words. Jongdae just laughs even more as Sehun pouts. He’s discovering Sehun is a lot cuter than his appearance leads on, but he doesn't say anything.
Once Jongdae is all packed they head out and Jongdae follows Sehun out of the building as they head to the student parking lot and Jongdae suddenly realizes Sehun is leading him to his bike, and just as he thinks this, Sehun himself speaks up.
“Have you ever ridden on a motorcycle Jongdae?” He questions as he looks back and Jongdae looks at him with wide eyes and shakes his head. He must look nervous because Sehun chuckles at him. “You look freaked out.” He comments and Jongdae is about to object but it's true so he can’t really say anything.
“You have a motorcycle right? I've seen you drive into campus.” He chooses to say instead and Sehun nods.
“Yup. And I was going to suggest we take it to the diner, but if you want we can just walk.” He says and Jongdae considers agreeing to that, but he also wants to be a little daring for once.
While Baekhyun and Chanyeol and all his friends go out and do things. Go to parties, are in charge of big events for their future, or even just have cute dates, Jongdae crashes in his small shoebox apartment and does homework or goes to his part time job. Baekhyun always tells him to live a little so Jongdae decides today is as good a day as any to do that so he shakes his head.
“No it's fine.” He says, “We can take your bike. I don't mind.” And Sehun looks up surprised.
“Really?” He asks and when Jongdae nods, Sehun’s usually stoic face lights up in excitement. “Awesome! Well then i'll take you to where I parked.” he says and he turns and his long legs quickly carry him to the front left spots of the parking lot and Jongdae huffs as he tries to keep up and Sehun is already in front of his bike
“Sehun please!” He calls, “Not everyone is as tall as you.” He says out of breath when he finally gets to Sehun's bike and the other laughs.
“Sorry.” He says not very sorry at all and Jongdae sticks out his tongue in a very adult fashion that has Sehun bursting out in laughter. “Sorry sorry I mean it.” Sehun says, and then he’s digging into the bag strapped at the end of the bike and he pulls out another helmet.
“Here. Safety comes first.” he says and Jongdae takes the helmet into his hands and he’s about to put it on but Sehun stops him.
“Wait.” he says and Jongdae looks at him quizzically as Sehun begins to take off his leather jacket. “It gets kinda cold so wear this.” He says handing the jacket over and Jongdae tugs it on, and when hes done he turns to Sehun.
“Do I look like a cool biker?” he asks, and Sehun has his bottom lip caught between his teeth trying to stop himself from smiling. And Jongdae furrows his eyebrows at him.
“I don't know about cool… but you look really cute.” He says pointing at the sleeves that are too long on Jongdae and Jongdae realizes he probably looks like he’s drowning in leather so he just blushes and sulks and Sehun ends up laughing. “Relax I’m joking, but you really do look cute.” he says, and Jongdae just puts the helmet on his head and he points to the bike.
“Let’s just go.” he says and Sehun laughs louder.
“Awe don’t pout.” he says and Jongdae is about to say he isn’t, but he totally is so he chooses to exercise the right of the 5th amendment and remain silent as he let’s Sehun get on the bike and then he awkwardly follows suit. Once he's settled behind Sehun, the tall blond puts his own helmet on and throws Jongdae a smirk.
“Hold on tight!” He yells as he revs up the engine and then they are driving out of the school and onto the roads.
Jongdae has his eyes closed at first and he’s holding on really tight to Sehun, but then he opens them and he can’t really describe the feeling of being on a motorcycle. It’s almost like flying above the ground with the way the wind blows around you and the bike glides on the pavement. It’s makes you excited but also feel at peace. Jongdae can definitely understand Sehun’s love for bikes after this, especially in a place like sunny california where he doesn't have to worry about the weather so much.
Finally they arrive at the diner and Sehun parks, getting off the bike and then helping Jongdae hop down too and Jongdae has a huge smile on his face as he takes off his helmet.
“Fun?” Sehun asks and Jongdae nods eagerly.
“Very!” He replies enthusiastically and they head in talking. Jongdae asks him more about bikes and why Sehun rides, and Sehun seems excited about finding someone to discuss it with. They seat themselves in a booth in the back and talk animatedly till the waitress comes.
“Can I get you boys anything” She asks and Jongdae’s stomach is rolling in hunger so he immediately gets a sandwich and Sehun gets a burger and then they continue talking, even after their food arrives and even after their done. They probably would have continued talking but Jongdae's cell suddenly goes off and he sees Baekhyun’s face on screen and he picks it up.
“Hello?” he asks and he hears whimpering.
“Jongdae, didn’t class end a while ago? Where are you?” He asks and shit Jongdae totally forgot.
“Oh crap! Um sorry I was just getting you soup. I’ll be there in like twenty minutes okay?” He says and Baekhyun whines but hangs up and Jongdae looks over at Sehun. “We should probably go. I promised my friend I would get him soup after class because he isn't feeling well but I totally forgot. And oh my gosh! Speaking of forgetting, I didn’t get to help you go over our notes today for class. I’m so sorry!” Jongdae says embarrassed. When he starts talking it's hard for him to stop, and he really needs to start exercising self control. Sehun doesn't seem to care though because he’s shaking his head and laughing.
“It’s fine i didn't really need help anyways.” He says and Jongdae looks at him confused.
“Wait but then why did we come here?” He asks and Sehun blushes.
“I just always see you in class and I thought you were really cute. And I kind of just needed a reason to hang out with you.” He mumbles and it’s Jongdae turn to blush now and he feels awkward, and Sehun looks super awkward but Sehun is honestly adorable, and he thought he wouldn't want to get to know Oh Sehun but honestly the more he talks to him, Jongdae realises Sehun is super smart and funny and he volunteers at an animal shelter and has a cool bike and he likes little kids. Jongdae has only gotten to know Sehun a little bit for the bit that he’s talked to him but he knows he wants to know more. Jongdae decides it’s his turn to be a little brave now and he opens up too.
“Well I’m glad you did ask me… I had fun, and I would be happy if we did this again.” He says carefully and Sehun looks up surprised and soon excited.
“Yeah?” He asks almost jumping in his seat and Jongdae laughs.
“Yeah for sure.” he replies, and with that they pay and leave with full stomachs and happy hearts.
Sehun drops Jongdae off a block from Baekhyun’s apartment with a promise of meeting up again Friday and Jongdae happily agrees and heads to old lady Mai’s small restaurant tucked in a corner to get some soup, and then he walks to his friends house.
He finally gets to Baekhyun’s apartment, he is met with a tired and haggard looking Baekhyun when the door opens and Jongdae coos.
“Baekhyunnie!” he says petting his hair and squishing his cheeks. “Let me get you some soup.” he says letting himself in and heading straight to the kitchen to pull out bowls and spoons. He brings a tray of food to Baekhyun’s bedroom where the other has already gone and huddled under the blankets, but he comes out for the food and is about to thank Jongdae when he suddenly stops mid sentence and pauses.
He begins staring at him oddly and Jongdae is about to ask what it is but Baekhyun asks first.
“Whose jacket is that?” He asks and Jongdae suddenly blushes bright red.
“OH MY GOD! IS IT THAT BADASS BIKER BOY OH SEHUN’S JACKET?” He asks and Jongdae squeaks. “KIM JONGDAE I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU LANDED A DATE BEFORE ME! AND NOT TO MENTION WHEN I’M SICK!” Baekhyun screams and Jongdae is in for a very long evening.
