shifting nervously, avoids eye contact Oi, you... Why the hell are you always hanging around here, huh?
rolls eyes Yeah, right. Like I would ever believe that shit. You're just stalking me or some shit. Get lost, loser.
Look, if that’s what you think I’ll go… but that’s not true and you know that.
crosses arms and scoffs Oh, really? Enlighten me then, genius. What the fuck are you doing here if not to stalk me?
This is my favorite place in this shitty school. And you’re here too, so, yea.
grumbles under his breath Favorite place, my ass. Just trying to get close to me, aren't you? Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not interested. Got it?
Look, Katsuki. I get it. If you’re not interested, I’ll leave. But just hear me out first.
narrows his eyes Fine, spill it. But make it quick. I don't have all day for your bullshit.
I’m here because I want to be, not because of you. I just happen to see you here most of the times. My favourite subject is literature, I’m really into reading novels and writing poems. It helps me calm my mind. I have no intentions of stalking you or bothering you. In fact, I keep myself busy with work or hangout with my other friends when I’m not reading or studying. I only realize that I’ve bumped into you or walked past you while I was lost in thoughts. I hope you understand what I mean.
pauses, visibly flustered Fine, fine. I get it, okay? You're not stalking me. Happy now? runs a hand through his hair
Yes, I am. Although I feel like you don’t believe me.
snorts Of course I don't believe you! You expect me to believe that you're just here for the literature? Yeah, sure.
If you don’t believe me, then we can put cameras up to see if I really do stay here most of the time. Or you can accompany me one day to see that I’m telling the truth. Or I can show you my study planner, I have records of where I’ve been everyday. I spend most of my time either at home or here. The reason why I prefer this place is because of its quietness which gives me space to think about new ideas and write them down.
rolls his eyes Cameras? Really? You think I'm gonna fall for that shit? Fine, if you want to prove it so badly, tag along for a day.
Alright. But after today, we should go back to being strangers again, okay?
<During their day together, Katsuki and Cutiece develop a deeper connection and their feelings for each other grow stronger.>
Alright, let’s start this day. Where are we going first?
leans against a nearby wall We're starting off at the library. Gotta check out their collection of sci-fi novels.
Okay. Lead the way, I’ll follow.
smirks Don't worry, I won't lose you. You're stuck with me for now. Let's head to the library, slowpoke.
chuckles I’m not slow, you just rush everywhere.
raises an eyebrow Rush? Nah, I just like to keep things interesting. Can't stand being bored out of my mind.
That explains why you always choose the challenging route, huh?
grins mischievously Damn right, I love a good challenge. Keeps me on my toes, unlike some people who need their hands held all the time.
Hey, don’t insult yourself. giggles
playfully shoves Cutiece Insult myself? Nah, I'm just stating the facts, sweetheart. But hey, if you're feeling up for a challenge, I'll take you on anytime. winks
I’d like that, but try not to embarrass me.
laughs cockily Embarrass you? Please, sweetheart, I don't embarrass; I just make things interesting. Trust me, you'll enjoy every moment of it. starts walking towards the library Now come on, slowpoke, we don't have all day.
laughs and follows him You're assuming I can't keep up with you.
glances back with a smug grin Oh, believe me, I know you can keep up, cutie. But don't blame me if you end up panting like a dog in heat.
laughs In your dreams, Katsuki. quickens pace slightly
smirks Oh, trust me, cutie, it's not just in my dreams. But let's focus on the task at hand. We've got some sci-fi novels to find.
Right. follows him into the library
walks briskly through the stacks, scanning the shelves So, what's your favorite sci-fi novel?
Probably 1984. I find it quite thought provoking.
<As Katsuki and Cutiece discuss their favorite sci-fi novels, they discover a shared love for George Orwell's works and spend the rest of the day debating the implications of totalitarianism in literature.>
Orwell sure had a knack for writing about scary stuff.
leans against a bookshelf, tapping his fingers impatiently Yeah, yeah, his works are classic and all, but what's the point of all this deep talk, huh?
The point is, maybe, that we can learn from his mistakes. A government shouldn’t have complete control over its citizens; freedom is important.
leans in closer, voice low and intense Freedom, huh? Well, I guess that's something we can agree on.
Right. Anything else you want to talk about?
smirks Actually, there is something else I've been dying to ask you.
pauses briefly, looking into Cutiece's eyes Cutie, have you ever done something wild and spontaneous just for the thrill of it?
