「 obliviate 」
@ofstarsandbooks
「 How does a boring, socially inept hermit manage to get the undying attention and desire of someone as vivacious and alluring as Vivi? They might have had a long history together, but the more Allen looked at the academy’s librarian, the less it made sense. His hair was awful. That one sided braid, really? Points for being unique, but the color was so dull, it mirrored his personality. And just to add to the salt, that same man is oblivious to her advances. If Allen had a dollar for every time Vivi would try and get Gale’s attention, Allen wouldn’t have needed to save up for his salon. 」
「 Allen decided to spare himself and stop paying attention to him. He’d see him at the library and teacher’s lounge, but he can easily be ignored by paying attention to more promising people. He did a pretty good job at pretending he doesn’t exist so far during his first few weeks in the academy. Too bad that streak came to an end when the only free seat in the cafe was right next to Gale’s. Allen shuddered as he held his cappuccino. Lady Luck was playing games and he did not like it at all. 」
「 Without asking for permission, he sits right down the vacant chair even if it meant sharing a table with the school librarian who he disliked for very personal reasons. Chin rested on his palm, he idly stirred his drink and proposed, “How about we make things easier for the both of us-- you leave, I stay. Sounds good, hm?” Since he can’t get the girl, he at least deserved a chair. 」
