amrua paused, taking in the information.
"i'm amrua. it's nice to meet you too. and uh… where would you being going on this kind of day? bit cold to be just strolling. i do hope i haven't distracted you from anything."

Kyle shook his head, balling up the jumper in his hands so he head sweater paws, “No, it’s fine. I was on my way home from collage,” He shrugged a shoulder, “What about you? Where were you going?”

he shrugged stiffly. "going to my… apartment. i was trying to take a while, though. my apartment's kinda shit. heating kicked the bucket at the start of autumn and nobody's seen the landlord in a while. we're all too broke to get someone to fix it. anyway uh, tell me about your college, if you don't mind. what's your… whats the word… major?"

(Hey, I just wanted to say that I'm taking a break for a couple days to deal with school work and a broken heart. I'll be back after the weekend is over and I might drop in once or twice but I can't promise anything. I'll be back, though.)

Kyle looked upwards towards the lights on the tree and sighed, "Forensic science. One hell of a course. I have to study the basic sciences, pharmacology, statistics, computer modeling, biochemistry and criminal justice," He rubbed his face, "It's stress inducing… but kinda fun, too."

(damn i'll square up with whoever broke your heart but,, best of luck! see you after the weekend!)

amrua looked impressed. "damn. you must be tired. that's a lot to study at one time." he slid his hand comfortingly over kyle's, taking it up gently, "it's definitely good you're having fun, though. once the enjoyment goes out of it, all is lost. and plus…" he tilted his head up and gave a sly smile.
"it's always nice for a pretty face to be educated."
his pupils had gone back to slits under the white fairy lights, but he didn't attempt to hide it.

(Hey! I’m back)
Kyle blushed furiously, and it didn’t help that they were holding hands, either. He chuckled, somewhat nervously and tried to calm his blush down, “Aha, thanks, and you’re not wrong. It is tiring but worth it if I want to-“ He cut himself off when he noticed his eyes, his own widening slightly, “Your… how are your…”

amrua inclined his head curiously, "my…? sorry, i didn't catch that. are you okay?" he squeezed kyle's hand slightly, pressing his thumb into his palm.

“Your eyes… they’re… you know,” He looked down at his lap, biting his lip before he muttered, “Slits…”

his free hand flew to hover over his face, and he blinked a few times. you could almost see the gears working as he tried to figure out a way to explain that would make sense.
"well… uh, i'm not exactly a full-blood human if that makes any sense. scratch that, i've got no human blood in me. i know this is a very human community, but," he reached around to ruffle the back of his hair, opposite thumb drawing feather-light circles into kyle's palm "i'm an elf, if that makes any sort of sense. not like… santa's elf, but the other kind."
he sent a piercing, high-eyebrow glance towards kyle's face, and then dropped to their intertwined hands.
"you know, the one that gets to be impossibly old and is known for being stuck-up."

Kyle chuckled a little, somewhat out of disbelief and somewhat out of nerves, "Okay, that's… kinda cool. I've never met an elf before, or… anything supernatural for that matter," He sighed softly, his gaze flicking from his lap, to their hands then to Amrua's face, "What are you doing in a human orientated city, anyway?" He asked, "Sorry if that's rude…"

amrua dropped an eyebrow, smiling gently. "running away. it's not rude, i just have to disappear. nobody will look for me here." he paused, contemplating, then his eyes widened. "i'm not- i'm not on the run! i swear you're not helping a-a criminal or anything. my family is just a mess. i had to get away."

(Okay, all good)

Kyle giggled just a little and have his hand a small reassuring squeeze, "You're too pretty to be a criminal, and if you were I'd be concerned but I'm glad you're not. And I'm sorry you had to run away."

amrua just smiled slightly wistfully and squeezed back. "it's alright. it wasn't really a 'had' to be honest. no abuse of any kind, just… conflicting opinions, you could say. my brother is the reason my knee is fucked up, see? he pulled a switchblade on me when i said i was leaving. my brother was always a bit insane."
amrua paused, considering, and softly added "i'm sorry if i'm talking your ear off. i haven't had much company."

(this is taking place before amrua got so coarse and rude, if that makes any sense)

(it does, don’t worry)
Kyle just shook his head a little, a soft smile adorning his features, “It’s fine, Amrua. I’m the same, never had much company well, I used too but not anymore, anyway.” He shrugged a shoulder.

he gave an almost invisible shudder at the use of his name, but looked relieved anyway. "thanks. and uh, here's an idea." he cleared his throat and 'put on the charms' so to speak. tilting his head back, he side-eyed kyle with a lazy grin.
"howabout we be each other's company?"

Kyle smiled back, a sort of goofy, almost giddy smile, “Sure, I’d like that,” He looked out across the town square, a soft sigh escaping his lips, “If I’m being honest, I haven’t had many… friends in my short life…”

he gently swiped his thumb over kyle's hand "and i haven't in my long one. it's alright. i think my knee is back, so here." he unearthed a pen from his jacket, picked up the other's hand and placed it in his lap, and jotted his number down on his skin. after he was finished he stood.
"don't be a stranger, you hear?"
and with a cold, quick peck on kyle's cheek he disappeared into the grey gloom of the darkening day.

(wanna timeskip? you can have kyle run through his thoughts or whatever but do you want to timeskip eventually)

(Sure thing)

Kyle stuttered our a weak ‘okay’ after the kiss and he watched Amrua leave with a red blush on his cheeks. He didn’t know what just happened but he definetly didn’t mind it. With the elf on his mind, he walked home with a smile gracing his lips.

The next day, the human was caught up in school work for most of the day, sitting by the fire in his small, two story house by the lightening his little Christmas tree. The rainbow coloured lights shone onto the papers and, even though he loved it, was slightly distracting. It wasn’t the only thing he was distracted by, either. His kind had wandered to Amrua all day and Kyle figured he needed a break so, with an ounce of courage, decided to call him.

amrua was curled on his sad excuse of a bed, resting his eyes when his phone buzzed insistently from his pocket. he was immediately startled out of whatever sleep had been achieved, and fumbled to pick up. blearily, he managed to make out an unknown number. usually he wouldn't take these calls, but… what if it was that cutie from the other day, kyle?

he decided to pick up, and hit the accept call button before he could second-guess himself again. "hello?"

“Hey, Amrua. It’s uh, Kyle,” He collapsed on his couch, picking at the leaves in his tree, “I was wondering if you wanted to, you don’t have to but if you wanted to hang out, like now? I need a break from my school work and um… yeah.” He cursed himself for rambling and being so nervous but what’s done is done.

amrua's face lit up, and he smiled widely as he talked into the phone. "yeah! i'll hang out. where do you want to go?"

Kyle shrugged, “I don’t mind. Do you wannna come over to mine and we can figure it out from there?”

amrua had to catch his thoughts from going into the gutter. you've known him for like, a day. chill out. he swallowed dryly and forced out a "yeah, that sounds good." hopefully it sounded more like purring and less like chronic dry mouth.

Kyle smiled, oblivious to the elf’s dry mouth problem, “Great! I’ll text you the address then. I’ll see you in a few.”
