Aesop is starting to worry that perhaps he looks odd, or even suspicious, having been loitering around the shop for so long. But he didn’t mean to ‘loiter,’ it was just that... he didn’t actually know what he was thinking, coming here. He would like to get a nice bouquet, yes, and especially for this person, but... what did he know about arrangements? (or about gestures like this at all?) She knew plenty, but he was far too embarrassed to ask her about it, so he came alone.

He regrets it more by the moment, really. Though eventually, he does stop avoiding that he needs to ask for help... Looking around, he decides to make his attempt with a nice-looking girl he spots in the shop with him. She probably wouldn’t get mad or anything... right?

Forgetting to charge your electronics the night before, or having them almost dead will give any college student a gut-retching feeling. It’s not like Joe plans on using his phone and not pay attention to the lecture, it’s just that it’s nice knowing you could. At least he brought along his charger with him, and there was a decent amount of time remaining before his next class. Though, he didn’t expect there to be so many people in the library right now! It was almost impossible to find a proper seat! 

That’s when he saw an open power outlet, and somebody sitting at the table with it. He’d recognize her since they had a few classes, but it’s a bit embarrassing that he couldn’t remember her name.

35. When was the last time you were happy? What caused it?

Happy, huh? Well there were always the little things that were not embarrassing to share. So he’d just do that: “The other day I allowed myself to spend some more money on a bowl of ramen. Don’t get me wrong, the cup noodles I have at home are usually enough for me, but it was pretty good to have a better prepared dish for once… Especially when it’s so cold outside like in recent times.” He just loves soup, really.

20. At what age do you feel that you stopped being a child and “grew up”?

7. Talk about the last argument you’ve had with someone. What was it about? 

“Not really much of an argument, just a student who was parked in a fire lane who claimed to not see the bright yellow paint lines and sign that was warning them they were in the fire lane. I know parking’s a pain, but pick a less conspicuous spot, alright? I don’t like handing out tickets as much as you kiddies hate paying ‘em.” 

11. What do you look for in someone you wish to date? What do you find attractive? 

On a beautiful day like this, Allen decided, it was a crime to stay inside by oneself. The sun was shining, birds were singing-- what more could beckon one beyond the recesses of the indoors than this? Okay, perhaps warmer weather would make it more enticing, he could concede, but nevertheless. He had just gotten out of class and had free time to explore the campus a bit more, enjoying the nicer weather as he did.

The university was larger than the boy had expected, though he didn’t have much experience when it came to schools to make a sound judgement. To think they had not only a cafeteria and a convenience store, but even an observatory? The school was almost like its own mini town.

Pulled from his musings, the white-haired teen took notice of the young girl sitting by herself on one of the nearby benches outside the dormitories. She seemed to be lost in her own thoughts, sitting peacefully without a single soul around. Well, aside Allen now, that is.

He had been hoping to make friends here, perhaps this was his chance? He wouldn’t want to bother her though, but it could be worth a shot. If it seemed like he were bothering her, he could just give a quick farewell and be on his way as soon as possible. Reading others was one of the few skills he could say he was proud of, it certainly came in handy at times like this.

Walking over slowly as to not startle her, he stopped with a friendly smile and queried, “Would it be alright if I joined you sitting here? I’m afraid I’m new here and don’t know the campus very well, I’ve been walking around for a time and could use a bit of a break.”

How wonderful! Welcome to the Gardening Club, Shouko!! The roster has been updated with your name. 

The library was quiet as it crept into the evening. The low shuffling of books and bags vacating with the rest of the student body as only the few stragglers remained. For himself, he was gathering books on circuit boards. A few late night projects would keep him from his usual activities, but a few nights off never hurt anyone anyway.

And luckily for him, he was able to write a short paper on the same subject he needed in practice. It worked out well.

Someone else stepped into the same section of stacks as him, catching Ryo off-guard as he walked into her. A student he didn’t recognize - although the electrical engineering section was flanked on either side by other subject areas.

Silence fell across him as he considered her for a moment, and then as though snapping out of an exhaustion-induced trance he shook his head.
