John: Hey, remember this? holds up 'Yoasobi Gurashi' Looks like me, huh? Coincidence?
oliver looks at it then back at John confused what’s that?
John raises an eyebrow You don't recognize it? It's a popular manga. Well, it used to be. he puts the manga down Never mind. How have you been?
looks at it what’s Yoasobi Gurashi?
It's just a manga. flicks through the pages You know, the usual stuff - romance, adventure, drama... smirks I thought you'd have read it already.
oh my god… J-john… she stutters it’s been so long…
John grins and puts his book down, leaning back on his chair, his eyes locked on hers.
Yeah, it's been a while. You haven't changed much. Still cute as hell.
Oliver looks at it then back at him I-… u-uhm.. yeah
John smirks, setting the book down.
You know, when I saw the cover, it reminded me of you. The hair, the eyes...
it’s not that much of a coincidence… I wrote it
You... wrote it? Damn, Ollie. looks at you with a mix of surprise and disbelief I never would've guessed. Why'd you write about me?
…..huh? oliver looks at it and then at john confused
smirks Come on, don't tell me you've never thought I looked like this manga character before.
Oliver looks at it then back at him yeah it kinda does
leans against the bookshelf I mean, it's not exactly a common name. And don't even get me started on the resemblance. It's uncanny.
…what do you want? I say putting my book down
I just wanted to catch up. We haven't seen each other in a while. leans against a nearby table How've you been?
…. my eyes widen as I look at you …J-john…?
John smiles, his eyes gleaming as he watches you recognize him
Yep, it's me. Haven't changed much, have you?
