Though she hadn’t yet gotten her diploma (a choice made all on her own, and not by academic standards), Tohru had arrived in Wonderland with an application to Rosewood College somehow already tucked into her bag. Despite never having heard of the place, the girl wandered there as soon as she’d found the paper and was instantly accepted.
Now, she wandered the halls of the unfamiliar college, perhaps looking for her classes, perhaps not. She wasn’t even sure herself. Her bag was slung over her shoulder delicately and her shoes echoed down the hall as she moved, wide eyes taking in the scene around her.
However, Tohru noticed a figure out of the corner of her eye, though she wasn’t sure it had noticed her yet. Instantaneously, as fear kicked in, the girl whimpered and tried to slowly inch away, closing her eyes. Though, of course, with her luck, Tohru inched towards it, and as chocolate eyes opened again, she was met with a looming male with silver hair, a yelp of surprise speeding through her.
Luckily, before she decided to swing her bag, the face of the male registered. Her eyes widened, and smile replaced the frighten face. Resisting the urge to hug him tightly, Tohru’s bright voice broke the silence. “Yuki! It’s you!”
Was it right to secretly follow someone around on a sheer gut feeling that he recognized them? No. Did it stop Yuki? It could have but in this case it hadn’t. From behind the person had looked too much like Tohru, and with everyone he had run into in this world, the chances that it was Tohru were extremely high so he was taking that risk no matter what.
He tried his best to stay hidden, so as to not scare the girl in any way but he had a feeling she knew already that she was being followed. Maybe he should just approach her and confirm it face to face? Why was he being a creep anyways? With his mind made up he decided to fully approach her, and nearly jumped back when she yelped out in surprise.
“Tohru I’m sorry for startling you.” He offered her a small smile, relief and a bit of pain swelling in him at having her there. Was this a good thing? Or was it bad?
