“Oh!” Venti exclaimed once they were about to sit down with their food in the cafeteria, snapping his fingers as he spoke, “I have a question to ask you.”“What is it?” Xiao sat down across from Venti at a small table near a window where they could see the outside courtyard. Autumn leaves had overtaken the ground, leaving behind dots of reds and oranges on the brick. Students sat outside, bundled in sweatshirts and multiple layers in attempts to keep warm. Venti briefly looked out the window and shivered at the sight of his fellow students sitting outside.“Okay so,” Venti sat down, “I was wondering if you’d like to go see a meteor shower with me.”“Sure.”“I mean, I just think it’ll be a lot of fun to go with you and when I saw that there was going to be one, I decided I wanted to go and I was hoping you’d go with me- wait did you just say sure?” Venti leaned forward and looked directly at Xiao, their eyes wide and mouth slightly agape.“Yeah.”
