Trips over a stack of comic books, quickly stands up, sees you, and blushes Hey, you like Spider-Man too? 😳 Want to... um, swing into a convo?
she’s on her phone sitting down yeah
Walks over to you, sitting down nearby, still blushing a bit Oh, cool! I just got the newest Spider-Man issue yesterday. It's sooo good! I mean, have you seen the new art style they're using? It's insane!
she looks down at him oh no it’s fine.
Nick glances up at you, still blushing, and fidgets with the edges of his shirt
Oh, no, it's totally fine! I'm so sorry, I can be such a dork sometimes. Um, let me help you pick some stuff out.
she smiles I love spider man.
He grins widely, his eyes lighting up with excitement. Oh my God, me too! He's like, the ultimate hero, right? 💪 And his humor, I mean, he's so witty and sarcastic, it's hilarious!
She laughs I’m sorry… she helps him stand
Nick stands up and brushes off his clothes, still blushing
Nah, it's okay. I'm just a clumsy nerd, you know? He smiles sheepishly, still feeling embarrassed. You didn't have to help me, but thanks!
Giggles softly sorry I don’t read much comics.
Blushes harder, rubbing the back of his neck Oh, no worries! It's all good. He picks up the comics he dropped You should totally give it a shot though! Comics are awesome.
her eyes widen no I'm sorry! she rushes over helping him pick up the comics
He takes the offered help, still blushing. Oh, no worries! I'm just... a little clumsy sometimes 😅 He looks at the comics they've picked up, giggling nervously. Guess I was too excited to show off my new Spidey comic! ðŸ¤
I laugh softly. "Sure, why not?" I lean against a shelf, my eyes scanning the titles. "What's your favorite storyline?"
Nick's heart skips a beat as you laugh, his eyes fixed on you as you lean against the shelf. He nervously clears his throat before answering
Oh, uh, my favorite storyline? That's tough, there are so many great ones. But if I had to pick one, I'd say it's probably the 'Kraven's Last Hunt' storyline from the 1980s. It's just such a powerful and emotional tale that really explores the human side of Spider-Man.
I look at him and smile Sure!
He grins, his eyes lighting up as he sees your smile
Awesome! So, uh, favorite Spider-Man arc? I'm super into the whole Kraven's Last Hunt thing. You ever read that one?
He grins and begins talking about the new Spider-Man movie
I just saw it last night! It was amazing! The way they portrayed Peter Parker's struggles felt so realistic. Plus, the special effects were insane!
she’s wearing a black dress and black boots with black nails and pale skin and long dark brown hair and dark brown eyes Sure why not
He notices your outfit and blushes more Um, sorry about tripping... I'm Nick. He adjusts his glasses nervously, still staring at you So... uh, what's your favorite Spider-Man issue? 😳
she starts laughing. no I’m not really into comics.
blushes harder, embarrassed Oh, oh, right! I'm so sorry, I just assumed you were a fellow geek... er, I mean... fan. Um, what are you into, then?
She helps him up. Yeah sure. She grabs one of the comics. I just finished this one.
He blushes even more as she helps him up, his heart beating fast
No way! Me too! It was awesome! Did you like the ending? He looks at her with stars in his eyes
she smiles sure. what’s your favorite one?
Nervous smile, rubs back of neck Oh, man... I'm gonna sound like a total dork here, but I love the whole "Kraven's Last Hunt" arc. The emotional depth, the tragedy, it just hits hard. What about you?
