it is not that she was totally unaware of the concept , though it is more she did not know the ins and the outs of the event. she knows it is a dance , though it seems more than just this , and perhaps she should give this whole social life a try ; even if it could be the most terrifying thing she has ever experienced , though it could be … fun ? right now this conversation has her on edge , and she hopes she is doing the right thing in terms of how she is speaking at the right speed , and she is expressing herself in enough detail , and ……

she holds a hand to her head as a headache forms at how much she is thinking about all of this far too deeply. that , and she had been rushing to finish things up , and she might not have eaten much today , though she honestly does not remember anything aside from how she had to finish what she had to get done.

“ it is p—perfe—perfectly f–fine , sir. y—you can t—tell me as l—littl—little or as m—-much as you w—wish. “ she assures , reaching out to lay a comforting hand on his , though then withdraws it ; he might not appreciate that. she would never pressure someone when they did not wish to share ; she is one who didn’t share things often , and she is just glad he could calm down a bit. she worried he might begin to hyperventilate or was having an attack. to see he was okay , was reassuring.

her eyes widen as she ceases writing things down to try and decipher what he already said to her in such a hasty manner. “ oh , u—um …. “ she turns from the page to him , giving a gentle smile to him. “ if t—that is w—what you w—wish to do , of c—cou—course. i j—just ….. “ ‘ have to work on my social interaction skills. ‘ she does not finish this thought. “ y—yes , i w—will o—offer my a—aid to you. t—thank you f—for a—aski—asking , that is e—ever so k—kind. “

He was not one of those people who’d offer or accept physical touch of comfort from everyone; he only loves it from someone who already is close enough to him. But at this moment he wished she didn’t withdraw her hand. He appreciated her trying to be of help even without knowing what kind of issues he really has. 

“Well, we still have a few weeks until the party,” he debated himself if he should take her hand. “So maybe, if you want to... we could hang out together sometimes? Because, um, it’d be weird if we go there without knowing much about each other, and do dances and such. I mean, I’m not good at it so if you don’t want to dance with me you don’t need to, but... anyway... I guess, I want to know you.”

✍ : What is your muse’s handwriting like? Is it neat? Sloppy? Fancy?

// Lucas’ handwriting isn’t particularly neat or sloppy, but usually pretty small. Thus he’s bad at writing on the protest sign boards (he usually let his group members do it). Kate makes fun of him saying “you write like a girl!!” and he growls “handwritings don’t have gender, Kate”

has she ever been this lost when she was speaking to someone ? no , but she is sure they have been , what with her pronounced speech obstacles and how she would rush to say things when she was flustered , or anxious , or getting out an apology for something she might or might not have said.

no , in fact , she didn’t know if this , and she didn’t think she knows a thing going on when it pertains to the school’s social calendar. this was also cemented with the fact she didn’t speak to anyone else , though some of the others did seem to be a bit more excited than usually on days where lessons were held.

“ i m—-mean , f—-forg—-forgive me , h—-how—-however , i was n—-not a—-awa——aware of this. “ she admits , though she is glad he told her , if this is the favor he is asking about ; she just wishes to have all the details in place so she can help him and not turn whatever he is about to request into a catastrophe.

“ of c—-cou—-course , if y—-you w—-wish to c—-conf—-confide in s—-some—-someone like me , i s—-shou—-should v—-very much be the one t—-than—-thanking you. “ she goes on to explain , not really having a conversation with anyone here since she arrived at this school …

months ago.

she did have an occasion where she was laughed at , and she does remember seeing the inside of a locked , and with the door shut it was terribly dark , if one would believe that. and not much air in there either …..

she scribbled things down , mostly somewhat hurriedly written down as she strives to get down all she can and not have to be a burden and keep asking.

“ of c—-cou—-course , sir. t—-tell me o—-only w—-what makes you c—-comfort—-comfortable. “ valerie smiles as she poised her hand so that she is ready to go when he speaks. he could say what he wished to and leave out what he had to. even if it was a way of him keeping her in the dark or being untruthful , she didn’t mind.

not at all.

He was surprised that she wasn’t aware of the prom. He knew she’s a loner, probably much more than he was, but realizing she hadn’t spoken to anyone for long time, he wished he could’ve noticed and tried to talk to her at least. But he hadn’t spoken to anyone in the school for a while as well, except his boyfriend (because this guy never trusted Lucas enough with their secret and forbid him to talk to other students).

“Um, thank you, thank you for understanding. This is just a little... complicated.” he was glad that she didn’t nosily ask for details, but at the same that made him feel bad about using her like this.

“So... I’m asking you to come with me as...” a substitute? No that was too terrible to say. “...a friend. I know we haven’t talked that much and you must think we aren’t friends yet, at al, but... maybe we can be from now on? If you don’t mind, of course...”

// I was listening to an interview with a nonprofit group who helps homeless people in Tokyo and came up with this:

Lucas actually runs a secret shelter in that place he’s homesteading which is a safe place for people who’s running from their abusive family/bf/gf/etc, because it’s not publicly known at all, and this is one secret he can actually keep forever.

Beth doesn’t know that and thinks he’s squatting there just because he has no money (which is also true but not the important part)

she did not even have the chance to greet the other , the man seeming to have just come up to her and began to speak. she was confused , of course , though the moment he opened his mouth , her own closed . though the same friendly smile remained firmly in place. lucas was one of the only ones who spoke to her , and she really did appreciate that more than he could ever possibly know , really.  people seemed to avoid her like the very plague , though she didn’t comment.

just kept her head down , and did what she had to. 

she is intent as she focuses on everything he conveys to her , valerie nothing but patient with him. having the exaggerated stutter she has , she treated those with the same level of understanding she would wish for , even if it didn’t happen. 

she does what she can to dissect the meaning , and all she could pick on is that he spoke to another person , they came to an understanding , and he is acknowledging the fact she is a ….. 

female ?

they had seen each other maybe a handful of times as the saying goes , though for them , that might be the most accurate thing ;

they conversed perhaps a total of three or four times , though it was mostly greetings and an how are you , then they parted ways. this was ever so in depth , and he seems to be a bit frantic , and she would do whatever she can to help.

she is not aware of the dances or the school events , so she takes a beat , her head tilting even more as she furrows her brows. 

“ my a—apolog—apologies sir , i am not u—under—understanding …. go w—where , e—exa—exactly ? “ she inquires , going back over his words to see if she missed a hidden meaning or something.  she opens up the notebook she has in her hands , locating a pen from behind her ear, she begins to jot down what she understands , her hand moving in somewhat of a blur. “ o—okay , so …. you s—spoke to s—some—someone and the b—both of you are in an a—agree—-agreement that …. the b—both of you c—cann—cannot ….. “

all she can do is gaze up at him , very much lost. she keeps looking things over many times , as she did want to help , but she couldn’t do so effectively if she didn’t know what she had to do.

He tried to calm down once he realized he might have confused her. “Wh... where? Oh. It’s, um, you know, there are some school events like the dances, and there’s this big one called the prom coming... and I need someone to go with... if you don’t mind...” He noticed she’d started taking notes. 

“Oh,” he’s surprised to see someone listening to him so intently. “Thank you... thank you for taking this, me, seriously.” He sat down beside her and wondered how much he should reveal. It somehow felt safe to tell her everything. 

And then there’s this promise. The promise he made to his boyfriend that he wouldn’t tell anyone. In a dilemma between not wanting to lie to her and not wanting to break the promise, he decided to keep it honest.

“Okay, where to start... I’m not going to lie to you, but I have to skip some details, because, I made a promise to someone that I won’t tell something...”
