[after getting over his "i can't believe i just said that and now i need to crawl into a hole and die" mood, stupid loser standing alone in the middle of some park. he left campus and just... kept walking until he decided to stop.

he pulls out his phone and his thumb does hesitate over fitz's name for a moment, but...]

Hey.

[littleirony]

But you'd pursue it either way.

[withaburst]

I'd give it a try, at least.

[bighouses]

Just ask her out, you weenie.

[littleirony]

[... turns up the music]

[withaburst]

[i didn't hear what she said so i'm going to assume it just got Awkward]

Oh, sorry I asked such a weird question.

[littleirony]

It's fine.

[withaburst]

Thanks for talking about it with me.

[littleirony]

You don't need to thank me for talking about hypothetical situations.

[withaburst]

Well, it made me feel better.

[littleirony]

Well— Good.

[and we're getting closer to wherever campus is meant to be]

[withaburst]

... Um, I had fun today.

[littleirony]

... Fun.

[withaburst]

Yeah. I hope you did, too.

[littleirony]

It wasn't horrible.

[bighouses]

E xin.

[littleirony]

[having a sister was a mistake]

[withaburst]

Oh, good.

[littleirony]

[clears throat. pulling over because we've reached Your Place, the Place Which Is Your Destination.]

[withaburst]

[aaawkward]

... Thank you for the ride.

[littleirony]

[nods... should i offer to walk her to the door— no what is this, the 50s?]

I'll see you later.

[withaburst]

[looks like she's going to say something for a second, but just smiles instead.]

Right, see you later.

[littleirony]

[nods awkwardly, lifts his hand in a wave and then gets self-conscious about that for some reason and drops it really quickly, which. is weirder.]

[withaburst]

[her expression is amused, or adoring, maybe, as she gets out of the car.]

new threads are for losers

[withaburst]

[a few days later, she's sitting on a bench in the courtyard - you know, where someone else usually sits. she's been spacing out for the past couple of days, apparently distracted by something. if certain people didn't pick up on that, though, it's at least somewhat odd that she's not tapping away on her phone at the moment.]

[littleirony]

[that's my spot, why is she in— nevermind. sitting down on the other end of the bench, not too close, with his coffee.]
