Twelve Majestic [EXO X OC]

Ruby

All three of them appeared in front of me in less than two seconds. Thankfully, Minseok had dressed up the night before in one of Baekhyun's sweats and T-shirts. I need to buy them more clothes since they are practically the only pair of clothes they possess. Remembering the stack of money my mom had given me, I vowed I would go today and buy them some necessities.

"Oh? Couldn't sleep?" Xiumin asked me, maneuvering around the kitchen counter to sit beside me on one of the three stools. He reached a hand for my forehead, and I whined at the cold touch of his fingers, though they were a little warmer than before when I first met him. "You don't have a fever though,"

"Of course hyung," Sehun scoffed with a roll of his eyes, taking the water bottle in my hand and drinking the remaining liquid in one go. I stared at him with wide eyes, surprised, since this was the first time he drank something human-related right in front of my face. "She is probably thinking of a way to skip school, and what do you know? Staying awake at three AM is a good plan," I scowled at Sehun's taunting smirk, and mentally choked him with my hands.

"I think Hani has reasons for this. Not all people in the world think like you, Sehun," Xiumin snorted at the younger warrior, taking the currently empty bottle of water and smacking it on Sehun's forehead, earning a pout from the latter.

"You are so mean to me, hyung," Sehun whined at his elder, and I no longer thought this side of Sehun was strange. "Ever since Hani appeared, you're acting like a barbaric asshole,"

"Why are you up at this hour, Hani?" Baekhyun seemingly ignored the two childish boys arguing in front of him and asked me, expression wavering from nervousness and worry which he tried hard to mask. I smiled gently at him, and waved his concern off.

"Don't worry, just had a bad dream," Baekhyun seemed relieved, and I couldn't help but smile. This was the same person who tried to kill me a few days ago, and now he's being quite the worrywart.

"That's a relief," Xiumin, who was listening to our conversation rather than annoy Sehun said, a small smile gracing his lips almost automatically.

"Can I ask a favor from one of you though?" I asked, my cheeks warming up in embarrassment at the thought of the request I'm about to ask. The three boys all looked up at me in the same time, a curious expression on their faces.

"There are four hours left for school, and I kind of want to go back to sleep,"

"What are you trying to say?" Sehun smirked in apprehension before I could say what I really wanted to say, and I felt the redness in my cheeks spreading all the way to my neck and ears.

"I.. I kind of want someone there to be with me, my dad always would stay in my room when I have a bad dream. It usually helps with my nightmares knowing I'd wake up to someone beside me," I explained, the embarrassment fading a little when I could see understanding spreading in their faces (except Sehun who even smirked wider if it was possible, but I decided to ignore him wholeheartedly)

"I'll stay," Xiumin raised his hand a little uncertainly, like a little kid asking his teacher to participate in class. I kind of found it amusing to watch, but I didn't want to show it on my face to make him uncomfortable.

"Alright," I grinned in pleasure, and Sehun scoffed very loudly and obnoxiously at my smile that it faded almost right away from my face, replaced by a scowl.

"What!" I growled at him, and he had the audacity to head to me and ruffle my hair annoyingly hard, his fingers tangling through my hair and pulling on it extra hard, making me wince. I reached out for my hair, hoping to pinch off Sehun's fingers.

"You were waiting for Minseok hyung to agree to this, didn't you? Aww what a pervert. What's next? You'll make him lie beside you?"

"No!" I exclaimed a little too loudly, totally forgetting about his fingers entangled through my hair. Sehun snickered in an ugly, sinister way that made me want to hit him so hard on the groin.
