LONELY HEARTS BRIGADE ; @flightlessxcrow
Ryoji didn’t have a date. There had been offers, yes, but as a believer in the significance of Valentine’s Day, he couldn’t just accept any old invitation. He believed that it had to be the right person that he went to such a ball with. And yet, he still found himself dressed up and wandering around Sunrise campus. He wore a completely black ensemble, save for the bright yellow tie around his neck. Even though he had a ticket into the dance, Ryoji still hadn’t gone inside, for no reason in particular. Maybe it was because of his tarot reading this morning that he was feeling so hesitant.
Humming quietly to himself, the boy then spotted another male up ahead, his head down and feet dragging slightly. It was subtle, the way he carried himself as if he had a heart of glass and someone had threatened to shatter it only recently. And when the other looked up to check where he was going, Ryoji caught his gaze and saw what looked like an eternity of sadness captured within. Chocolate eyes that he could only assume were usually milky and sweet looking, instead looked dark and bitter, the kind of chocolate only a select few would pay attention to.
“Evening!” He greeted, stopping in front of the freckled boy. Now stationary, he could fully appreciate the person in front of him. Ryoji’s lips pulled up into a friendly smile, hands buried in the pockets of his black pants.
“You know the dance is the opposite way, right? I mean -- I think anyways. It’s my first time on campus, but that’s what the signs said!” Ryoji said, chuckling happily as he rubbed the back of his neck.
