“well…. I heard you liked photography. Out back on the campus is gorgeous. Levi let me check it out on the first day here. Granted it was in the middle of the night. He wouldn’t have let me roam around the school” he smiled. “Anyway, do you want to go there? Levi likes to go to this one place out there and write his books. Oh wait… don’t tell him i told you. He said not to tell. Anyway, we could go there though. I’m sure….he wont mind” he says concerningly.
"I'd love that!" She smiled, taking his hand. "Mind if I go get my camera? You can come with me." She replied glancing at the elevators.
Laura hoped he'd come, she didn't know where Eliza was, but she didn't want to run into her alone. Not again at least.
“Oh uh…sure!” He says with his cute big smile, his shockingly white teeth showing as he did. It was to be expected of him. Hygiene was incredibly important to him, as anything else that had to do with cleaning. Well to Levi that is. Or … Cayd.
“But um, am i allowed near the girls’s dorms?” He asks nervously when they got in the elevator.
"Well, I mean," She paused, almost slipping out the part about last night's events. She gulped a little, before nodding. "Yeah, course you are." She squeaked out. What the two of them, Seong-Jin and Laura, did last night wasn't that big of a deal. It wasn't like they slept, slept together. They just… yeah. She wasn't sure why it made her flush, or why it made her day dream, it just did. "I know there's boys and girls hanging around there all the time."
“Oh alright! Then it’ll be fine. Sorry, i just don’t want to get in trouble on my first day. Well… technically… never mind” he ran his hands through his hair. The elevator. Door opened and he walked out, looking down the hall of dorms. “So… which ones yours?”
"That one." She said pointing to it. She sucked in a deep breath, and crossed her finger.
'Please oh please don't be in there.' Laura hoped, taking his hand and pulling him over to her door.
"are you alright? Should I open it for you? " he asks severely confused.
(sorry it's short, I'm in the middle of something)
(That's totally fine! Lol, I just caught a good writing spree, so mine should be a little longer)
Laura was lost in thought, and snapped back to reality. "S-sorry?" She looked at his face, tracking back to what he said. "O-oh no, I got it." She responded, putting her hand on the handle and opening the door. It was quiet, and no one was heard. She sighed in relief, and held it open for him.
(Thats good!!)
He went in, confused to say the least. “So um…. why’re you so nervous? Is there like a rabid dog in here or something?” He asks her as he looked around her room. He felt a bit perverted just looking at a girls room, but it was pretty nice. He ran his finger along the wall as he looked around, getting distracted.
Laura wanted to say something rude, something mean, but she wasn't going to around sweet innocent Auden. "No, just my roommate, she's a little…" Laura glanced back to Auden, taking his hand and leading him to her room. "A little bit over the top. But it's fine, I just would rather not run into her when I can." She smiled to him as they entered her bedroom. "Go ahead, sit, I'll get my camera and stuff."
“Oh okay?” He says confused still, but he sat down, still looking around the place.
“i wonder what her roommate’s like. Is she the nice over the top or…. hm. Oh well. Surely ill meet her someday. But by what Laura said, I don’t know if i want to”
He thought to himself as he fiddled his thumbs together.
Laura quickly put her camera together, and looked to Auden sitting on her bed. She smiled softly, before looking back to what she was doing. “Alright, let’s go before we have wasted our study break.”
"okay" he nodded as he stood up, standing tall. He still had to get the hang of being in the light. But he seemed to be doing a pretty good job if he didn't say so himself! And to be honest, he was quite proud of it.
"Go ahead and lead the way! You know where we're going." She hummed with a smile, and reached over to take his hand. "If you don't mind, that is." Laura balanced on her toes just because she felt like it.
“Right. Okay. Well I think I know where it is. It’s quite pretty if I do remember it correctly” he happily leads her down to the elevator, tapping the buttons and taking them down after the metal doors squeezed together before dropping.
Once they got to the bottom, they walked out to the back of the school.
“Okay so it’s pretty hidden, so I might not be able to find it. Don’t get your hopes up”
"That's fine! I know somewhere else if you can't." Laura chirped in response, tucking loose hair behind her ear. "No worries here, just try your best."
Laura was attempting to be encouraging, though she wasn't sure if she was or not.
She was trying her best though, this wasn't a normal thing, she was not the first person people came to talk to.
They soon came to a line of evergreen trees. Most likely bordering the college campus.
He led her through the line of trees and to a small encousure with a bench, a small pond and flowers of all sorts of colors, roses of red and white and tulips of orange and pink. the grass only a bit overgrown with yellow dandelions and daisies spotting the green floor.
“Nice i found it! I think this may be another persons property, but nobody has been here for such a long time. Wow, this is prettier than I thought!” He says with a smile, still holding her hand. This was quite romantic if anyone would see. And he thought so to. His face flushed red, but he kept a hold of her hand until she let go.
"Wow… it's so gorgeous!" She exclaimed looking at the beautiful scene displayed in front of her. She looked at Auden, and smiled at him. Her excitement was very visible, and she wanted to soak up the whole thing. "I bet sunsets are amazing here…" She daydreamed aloud, with a sigh. She gently tugged him along to the bench that had caught her eye. "How did Levi ever find this place?"
"he came here to blow off some steam. He lost his sense of direction due to stress and he found this place. Now it's his go to place to relax. We can come here when the sun sets if you want" he says sitting beside her, giving her hand a little squeeze
"Really!?" She asked in a sigh like tone. She was absolutely wanting to do this now. "I'd love that! Would you really take me?" She asked looking at their hands with a smile. She hoped he really meant it, otherwise she'd probably come by herself.
"well of course! It's the least I can do afterall" he says blushing a little.
(sorry it's short, Im in a hurry to do something)
(I'll make it up to you in the next post)
(It's OK! I understand! Dude, I do short posts way too often, so one here or there Even if you did it all the time is totally OK!)
Laura faced him, and held his hand in hers'. "Thank you so much!" She exclaimed hugging him around his neck. "You really don't owe me anything, I owe you more than you do me." She whispered as they were in the hug.
(Okay, I’m sorry again!)
He is face flushed red even more when she hugged him. A gush of wind flew past them as she did, leaves falling off of the trees and blowing past them as his eyes were wide. “Wh- oh..” he managed to get out, slowly going to hug her back.
“I don’t know you very well, but i know Levi sure cares about you a lot. For you to be someone like that to… someone like him…. then i know you’re special. So I’m going to treat you as you are. And as i get to know you more… then i can feel the exact same way. If not more.” He smiled sweetly at her.
“But i mean, i already care about you and feel you are special, but… agh I’m sorry. I’m not making any sense..” he says running his hands through his curly dark hair. The sun was hitting it almost perfectly to see his hair wasnt black. It was actually a dark brown, showing lighter in the sunlight, a sort of darker golden color.
(Okay but I’m listening to Piano music on another tab from notebook and IT MAKES EVERYTHING SO MUCH MORE EMOTIONAL AND SURREAL AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT))
((Wait- where do I find this music!?!?!?!))
Laura watched him carefully, his curls framing his perfectly. Every word until his last few made her melt, and she smiled tenderly.
"Auden… I understood you perfectly, don't worry about that. You're perfect the way you are, and you tend to treat yourself like you're way less. I don't want you to do that, don't put yourself down." She replied reaching up, cupping his face in her hand.
Laura ran her thumb over his freckled face gently, watching his amazingly blue eyes. They were only one of her favorite things about him, his eyes, his smile. His whole self was her favorite, she couldn't choose one quality. Each thing that made him, him. "You are amazing even when you make mistakes. I love that about you."
(Btw, I'm sorry if over the weekdays my responses are fewer, I am unable to use notebook during the day like usual, so I'll try to do longer responses instead of two or three sentence responses. Except maybe on the weekend when I have more time.)
