Not the one
Sehun/Luhan; Angst I guess.; G; 830
Sehun finally asks the boy he has liked for a very long time out but things don’t turn out like he always imagined.



Sehun knew how nervous he looked but it was too late to turn back now. He had already opened his mouth and spoke the words.

Sehun is standing in the middle of an aisle in the grocery store in front of the guy he has had a thing for, for a very long time. Now that Sehun asked him to hangout all he can do is wait for Luhan to answer.

Luhan opens his mouth to answer but recloses it a second later. He finally seems to thinkg of something to say after a few beats. “What?” he asks dumbly.

Sehun looks down at his feet feeling any confidence he had when he entered the place drain from his bones. “Do you uh, want to get a drink with me later?” Sehun mumbles not daring to look up and make eye contact with Luhan.

“I actually can’t tonight,” Luhan replies with a huge smile. “I’m gonna be busy after work.”

Sehun sighs. “Okay,” he says in defeat. “Maybe some other time then.”

Luhan smiles widely. “Yeah sure.”

Sehun turns around and leaves making himself not look back.

The next day Sehun’s roommate Jongin sends Sehun out for groceries. After a lot of whining and complaining, Sehun eventually just takes the list from Jongin and leaves. He really doesn’t want to go to the supermarket today, not after making himself look like a fool in front of Luhan yesterday.

Sehun grumbles to himself the whole drive to the supermarket. He just hopes above all else that Luhan isn’t working today but luck has never been on his side.

A few minutes later, after parking the car, Sehun slowly makes his way through the door. He looks around wildly searching for Luhan. After a few seconds of not seeing any blond hair peeking out from anywhere in the store, Sehun breathes a sigh of relief and starts going down the list Jongin had handed to him.

It’s not until Sehun pushes his cart up to the checkout that he realizes his earlier search was wrong. Luhan just happens to be working cashier today.

Luhan smiles brightly when his eyes land on Sehun. “Oh hey Sehun,” he says cooly. “Listen about yesterday--”

Sehun throws his hand up. “I was weird I know. I won’t bother you like that again.” Sehun says right as he begins putting the contents of his cart onto the conveyer belt.

Luhan just smiles that aggravating smile that can make Sehun irritated and make his heart melt all at the same time. Sehun doesn’t know anyone else who has that effect on him but Luhan and he hates him for it.

As Sehun finishes putting the food up on the conveyer belt, Luhan rings up the items chattering away about useless things that Sehun doesn’t necessarily care about. He listens intently to Luhan’s words all the same though. Luhan’s voice is soothing to Sehun and makes everything seem okay if just for a little while.

Sehun pushes his now empty cart forward and starts putting the items Luhan had already bagged into his cart.

“That will be 60 even,” Luhan says with a yawn. “Sorry, I’ve been working extra hours and they’re draining all my energy.”

Sehun hands Luhan the money. “But at least you’re making more money.” Sehun says.

Luhan nods. “Yeah that’s definitely a plus,” Luhan shoves the money into the drawer of the register and slams it shut with his hip. “Though I hate working here so much.”

Sehun nods and waits silently as the machine prints out his receipt.

Luhan hands the receipt over with a smile. “So I’ll see you around.” Luhan says.

“Yeah,” Sehun says awkwardly.

Sehun lingers for about thirty seconds battling with himself as to whether he should ask Luhan to hang out again or just walk away.

Sehun picks walking away and with an extremely awkward wave Sehun pushes his cart away from Luhan feeling his heart crumble in his chest.

Once Sehun is out of the building he curses to himself. He just wants to crawl under a rock and die.Why can’t he make Luhan see him for what he is?

Why can’t Luhan give him some sort of sign? Sehun has been straight forward enough with him in the past few months slowly working his way up asking him out yet Luhan just keeps acting friendly and it confuses Sehun. Does Luhan have any interest in him at all? Sehun wants him to but he isn’t so sure it will ever happen. All Luhan ever does is just smile at him with sparkling eyes and makes friendly conversation but turns Sehun down when Sehun tries to advance it any further than that.

Sehun is torn. He doesn’t know what to do, doesn't know how much he should push it. Doesn’t know how hard he should try for someone he really likes and has for a very long time.

Sehun wants Luhan to give him a chance.
