    Summary

    When Venti first catches sight of the swords artfully hung on the wall of his new roommate's bedroom, he regrets putting up the sublease on Craigslist. Firmly believing this guy is a total weirdo, Venti is more surprised than anyone when he realizes the total weirdo is actually adorable.

    It's not against some invisible Roommate Code to dream about kissing your roommate, right?

    Summary

    Illuminated by the glow of gold-scorched parchment, the harsh lines of Xiao’s face smoothen into confusion, then resignation. He takes a steadying breath. “You aren’t leaving.”

    “I’m bound to you until I find you love,” Venti corrects.

    “Yeah, so you aren’t leaving.”

    “Wrong! I have a hot streak of success.” Venti claps his hands, the contract scrolling back up into non-existence. “Now that you understand, shall we start over? My name’s Venti, and I’m your assigned Cupid. Your wingman, if you will.”

    “... Xiao.”

    Or: Xiao is, maybe, a little in love with his Cupid. Venti does not catch on.

    Summary

    “Get nightmares often, huh?”

    Xiao looks at him, startled. It takes a moment before something like sullen understanding crosses his face. It’s resigned in a way Venti never is. “Sorry. You should get earplugs. I can’t control it.”

    Venti is no good with sadness. It sits in him like a dead weight. He does whatever he can to push it out. "I don’t think those will really help,” Venti says with a laugh.

    “The roommate swap is next week. I wouldn’t hold it against you if you left. My roommate last year did the same thing.”

    Oh, shit.

    Now he can’t leave.

    Summary

    Head curator of the National Museum of Liyue has announced earlier today that a new permanent exhibition will be opened in the Alcor building. "Love in the Time of Adepti" will display a collection of 22 letters which have been recently discovered in a dig in the archaeological site of Qingce, theorized to have been written by the last known adepti...

    Xiao reads the title and subheader once, twice, three times, before it fully registers.

    “Fuck.”

    Summary

    “Everyone, can I have your attention, please?”

    Class 1-A stared in surprise at Todoroki standing in the middle of the common room.

    “I’ve found another way to piss my father off, and I’d like one of the guys to help me with it, if you’re willing.” Todoroki examined the room, but everyone was quiet, riveted to his words. “He doesn’t like gay people, so,” Todoroki looked down at his clenched fist with a wild look in his eyes, “I need a boyfriend by the end of the day.” He looked up again, studying everyone. “Is there anyone willing to work with me on this?”

    Into the silence that followed that proclamation, Kaminari said, “Duuuuuuuude, I’m down! I’ll be your fake boyfriend!”
