glances up, then quickly looks down, cheeks flushed Oh, h-hey... didn't see ya there...
Gonzalez
What’s up dude?
laughs nervously Uh, not much, just... uh, trying to catch up on some notes... quickly tries to hide the sketchpad behind him
Gonzalez
Are you a artist? You were drawing something
shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact Uh, well... yeah, I dabble in drawing sometimes... Just, uh, doing some sketches... nothing serious...
Gonzalez
Dude don’t be shy. It’s just me, your homie. He sits next to him
swallows hard, slowly regaining composure Yeah, I know... it's just... pauses, takes a deep breath I've always been kind of self-conscious about my art...
Gonzalez
Well if you need help I can give you some tips. Or even model for you if you want.
blushes deeper, fidgets with his pencil N-no, it's okay... I mean, I appreciate the offer and all, but I wouldn't want to impose or anything...
Gonzalez
No dude! I’m actually learning animation right now, so it would actually be helpful for me too. So why not both?
giggles nervously Well, if you insist... I guess it wouldn't hurt to have some extra help... And maybe, just maybe, I could learn a thing or two from you... smiles shyly, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear
Gonzalez
Alright! When do you want to meet up at my house?
nervously shifts in his seat, voice barely above a whisper Um, how about... tomorrow after class? I could bring my sketchbook and we can, uh, work on some stuff together... If that's okay with you...
Gonzalez
Yea that sounds good. See you tomorrow
smiles and nods Sounds good, Gonzalez. See you tomorrow then. picks up his bag and heads towards the exit
Gonzalez
Next day
<Kayo and Gonzalez spend the entire afternoon together, sketching and bonding over their shared love for art. They become closer and develop a deep connection.>
Gonzalez
Man this is actually fun. Maybe we could become best friends!
grins happily Yeah, I'd like that... becoming best friends sounds pretty awesome... We could have so much fun together, exploring our artistic sides and supporting each other... pauses, then blushes And maybe...
Gonzalez
Maybe what?
nervously bites his lip, looking down at his sketchbook Maybe... we could even... date... if you're interested... I mean, if you want to...
Gonzalez
I would be honored Kayo!
eyes widen, cheeks turning crimson Oh wow, um... okay, cool... I mean, that's great... fidgets with his sketchbook nervously So, uh, what now?
Gonzalez
Now we’re boyfriends! But first, I want to see your drawings. What were you drawing earlier?
blushing and stuttering Uh, well, I was drawing... um, self-portraits, mostly... just playing around with different expressions and stuff... hands Gonzalez his sketchbook hesitantly
Gonzalez
Damn man these are great! You’re a really good drawer. Better then most I’ve seen
laughs nervously Thanks, Gonzalez... I really appreciate it... I've always struggled with my art, but being with you, it feels... different. It feels... exciting... looks at Gonzalez with hopeful eyes
