concert two

<edited august 15 '22>

Xiao stared blankly, the message rereading over and over in his head. He quickly covered his face in embarrassment. "Barbatos texted me." He said in a quiet voice. He inhaled sharply before looking up. "Shit..he can see I read his message." He covered his mouth, preventing him from rambling on more. He stared at the question one last time before finally answering.

This is start of your private messages with barbatosofficial✓ !

Alatusofficial✓:
<Hi Barbatos, yes I am aware of who you are. I've seen your streams a few times. A collaboration?>

Xiao stared at his message for a minute before he sent it. He read it over incase of spelling mistakes even after he sent it, to be 100%.

barbatosofficial✓:
<OH??? I didn't expect anything...uh, yes! A collaboration.>
barbatosofficial✓:
<Well in that case, I guess you'd want to know exactly what I was planning?>

Alatusofficial✓:
<Maybe. What is it?>

barbatosofficial✓:
<Well, I have a series on my YouTube channel especially where I interview famous celebrities! They're usually not as big as you, but I thought it would be a good idea to do interviews and maybe play a game or two if you knew how. All up to your company.>

Alatusofficial✓ : <Oh. I'm not the best at live thing like that, but I'll make sure to ask my company. They might think it's a good opportunity.>

Xiao wanted to slap himself. He sounded pretty stupid right there, not good with live recording? Of course he was. He performs live all the time. He sings live all the time. What's his deal? Think before you send, please. 

barbatosofficial✓:
<That so? Maybe we could cut out the TWITCH? I have a company I work with for YouTube, we could compromise?>

Alatusofficial✓:
<Uh, sorry. That sounded bad, I just get a bit awkward. We can do TWITCH too, if you're wanting.>

barbatosofficial✓:
<Oh! No, I'm okay without. But I guess we can figure it out with G.I!>
barbatosofficial✓:
<Maybe for the date, a few weeks or so?>
barbatosofficial✓:
<I don't know exactly what days I stream next month. I'll have to see.>

Xiao sighed. "How does he not know his own schedule? Even I know mine." It took him a moment to think of the days he streamed this month, doing some math to see what days he would stream next month.

Alatusofficial✓:
<Next month you should stream Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday based off of this month.>

barbatosofficial✓:
<I didn't even have to check my schedule, OKAYYY>
barbatosofficial✓ :
<Maybe Saturday of next month? The first Saturday.>

Alatusofficial✓ :
<I'll be sure to ask.>

barbatosofficial✓:
<I never thought I would be texting you so naturally lolol, I've never been so excited to text someone :D>

Xiao quickly turned red at the remark. He covered his face for a moment before responding like he normally would to anyone.

Alatusofficial✓:
<I see. That's good, right? If we're going to be working together we should feel at least comfortable around each other.>

barbatosofficial✓:
<That makes it sound like we're gonna work together a lot!>
barbatosofficial✓ :
<ehe!>

Alatusofficial✓ :
<Oh, sorry. I'm not sure I can join you for streams very often.>

barbatosofficial✓:
<That's fine! One time is enough.>

Xiao covered his face with his hands, wondering what Hu Tao would think of this. She's be happy right? What about his mother though? How would she feel about this? He sighed heavily before looking back up at the screen.

barbatosofficial✓ :
<OH, By the way do you have any concerts coming up? I had to miss the last one, so I will make it to the next one!>

Alatusofficial✓ :
<Have you been to them all?>

barbatosofficial✓ :
<Actually yes i have, I usually got the VIP seats too! Do you remember the one time you signed my shirt during the concert? It went viral on YouTube.>

Alatusofficial✓:
<I don't.>

barbatosofficial✓ :
<Dang, it was the best concert I've been to! Anyways we got a little off topic but, date?>

Xiao had no memory at all of signing someones clothing during one of his concerts, and this made him a little annoyed at the fact he couldn't remember anything like that, especially when it was barbatos. He shook his head, trying to forget about it. He sat up from his seat, quickly stretching before looking back to his calendar near his bed. He walked over in silence, flipping the pieces of paper through the months until he hit January 18. That's when his next concert was. He gave a sigh before letting go of all the other papers he was holding up. They fluttered down as he turned his body to head back to this desk.

Alatusofficial✓ :
<Sorry, I was just checking. It's January 18th.>

barbatosofficial✓ :
<Alright, I'll be sure to check the website for tickets. Thanks!>

Alatusofficial✓ :
<Sure.>

There came no more responses after that, leaving Xiao to slam his head on the desk underneath him. "What the hell just happened," He groaned, lifting his head enough to see where his phone was. "Hu Tao..Hu Tao." He murmured, fumbling to type her number out. Once he finally did he quickly lifted his phone to his ear listening to the ringing for only a few seconds.

"Xiao? Didn't we like just ha-"

"Hu Tao we have an issue." Xiao breathed out, just now starting to panic. Hu Tao laughed.

"Dang! Did you actually text him or something? Okay I'm kidding, what happened." Her laughing stopped, her tone getting a bit more serious.

"No I didn't text him but-"

"Figures, you're too chicken for that anyways." She clicked her tongue.

"Shut up for a second, I didn't text him but he texted me! Hu Tao he texted me asking to make a collab. And i basically. I'm insane aren't I?" He took a breath in. "I basically agreed to collab with him sometime."

Hu tao for once stayed silent. Either she was dead, or this was somehow shocking enough to shut her up.

"NO WAY." Xiao rolled his eyes. "So she's not dead." He thought.

"Yes way Hu Tao, it just happened." He responded.

"This is such a big deal! Can you come over?" She asked eagerly.

"I can't, but I can tomorrow. I'll tell you about it then." He said, the girl on the other side agreeing. They said their goodbyes and Xiao set his phone down, now staring at the computer screen again.

"Seriously.."
