her hair is ultimately what attracts him to her. it’s an odd thing to say, something he wouldn’t ever confess aloud but it’s the T R U T H. her hair was red and natural. flashes of another certain ember-haired girl, one who he had grown to admire greatly, left him numb at the immediate sight of this new upcoming stranger. it was as if he couldn’t physically stop himself from walking towards her almost calmly. it was truly as if his conscious was shut down, nothing but his instincts kicking in and doing everything his usual self wouldn’t do.
that’s basically how he found himself standing abruptly in front of such a .. pretty girl. eddie was left defenseless and embarrassed, a deep blush settling nicely on his cheeks the second he realized what exactly he had done. he’s squirming in place by the time he thinks of something to proper to say. casting his view to the ground, the teen effectively manages to s c r e w this even more apparently. ❝ it’s -- i’m -- uh -- ❞ damn, bill would be PROUD. he begins pressing his nails against his palm unconsciously, so hard he was so sure he was bleeding. it didn’t matter. not now at least. here was his chance to do something other than worry and he fucked this up too. licking his lips, he shakes his head shortly before turning away to avoid all eye contact efficiently. it was only then that he finally settled on what to say to the girl before him: ❝ i'm .. i'm sorry for bothering you. ❞
