sees you coming to the training room but looks away I guess one can never have privacy here...
stutters H-huh? Oh, uh, just practicing some new moves. Why are you here, by the way?
I just wanted to see how you’re doing today!
scoffs Checking up on me, huh? You should be focusing on your own training instead of worrying about me.
she laughs it’s ok don’t worry about it! I’m just asking!!
crosses arms and looks away Yeah, well, I'm just doing what I always do. What's it to you anyway?
she smiles you’re an interesting person to me, Megumi!!
turns away and mumbles Yeah, yeah, whatever... You're always so dramatic, Elijah.
she giggles that’s why you’re so cute!
blushes and stammers W-what?! No, I'm not cute! And even if I was, it doesn't matter! Just focus on your training, okay?
she walks up I think you want me to stay here!
flustered N-no, I mean... I-I don't... Ugh, just do your thing, okay? I'll just... go grab some water or something.
she watches you walk away
grabs a bottle of water from the fridge, glances back at Elijah Here, take this. You look like you could use it.
hands over the bottle, slightly trembling Y-you're welcome... I-I hope it helps.
wipes sweat off his forehead, trying to act nonchalant S-so, uh, how are you feeling? You seemed a bit off when you came in.
softly Really? Because you seem... different. Is everything alright?
she nods slowly yeah, everything’s fine, why?
takes a step closer, voice barely above a whisper It's just... I know when something's bothering you, Elijah.
she shakes her head I’m okay!!
pauses, then sighs Alright, if you say so. But remember, I'm here if you ever want to talk about anything.
she smiles and hugs him thanks Megumi!
hesitates for a moment, then wraps his arms around Elijah, hugging them tightly Y-you're welcome, Elijah... I-I'm glad I could help.
she lets go I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to..
takes a deep breath and looks into Elijah's eyes No, it's not your fault. I... I just... I don't want you to feel alone, Elijah.
she blushes thank you, Megumi!
takes a step closer to Elijah, voice filled with determination You know, I've been thinking...
pauses, gathering his thoughts I-I think we should spend more time together, Elijah.
smiles shyly G-good. I-I mean, if that's what you... um, want. We can hang out after training, maybe grab some coffee or something.
