The first time they saw each other outside of the library was in the dorm elevator. Though Noah looked surprised to see him there, he greeted Kevin warmly.

“Hey,” Noah smiled. “How are you?”

“I'm good,” Kevin replied, entering the elevator. “What are you doing here?” 

“Oh I'm a volleyball player.

"Really? What position do you play?"

"Hmm, first of all, I don't know whether I should be a little offended on the really tone."

Kevin huffed good naturally, "I didn't mean anything by it. You just do not look athletic, that's all."

"Fair enough. I'm a setter, and also the captain of the team."

"Well.... Then maybe you can be offended."

Noah laughed.

The elevator stopped, the doors opening. They walked outside side by side.

"What about you? What do you play?” he asked, gaze curious. 

Kevin saw the sincerity in Noah’s eyes, and the realization hit him hard. Noah honestly didn’t know who he was. Even after meeting frequently at the library, he still didn't know. It wasn't a deception

Kevin managed to give a quiet, almost automatic response. “Exy.”

“Cool,” Noah replied. “I've honestly never watched exy, other than once when I was a kid,” he mentioned sheepishly. “And well, it seemed like a really violent sport.”

Kevin couldn’t help but laugh, a small chuckle escaping before he could stop it. The innocent honesty in Noah’s voice was disarming.

"And the fact that you didn't deny the accusation speakes for itself," Noah said grinning.

"Fair enough." Kevin shrugged, mouth ticking up in a smile.

Noah’s smile in return was warm.

"Alright, I'll see you around at the library." Noah said walking away.

"Yeah, see you." Kevin replied.

It wasn’t a serious conversation, nor was it a big moment, but for some reason it stuck with Kevin for the rest of the day, like maybe it could be the beginning of something.

Kevin met Noah in the PSU library.

Kevin had been frequenting the library only for some time now. He was in the history section as usual, searching for some new reads in the bookshelves. He couldn't choose between two books when Noah walked passed the shelves and spoke up, suggesting him to pick the first one. Kevin turned around to look at him with a scowl on his face and raised a brow, as if asking why he would do that on his saying. Noah instead of getting offended, as people usually did when they noticed Kevin Day wasn't all sunshines and rainbows, chuckled and told him that he had chosen this book for an assignment, and that it was a really good book. Kevin decided to give it a try; he had been stuck on which one to pick for too long already. He put the other book back and sat down at his usual spot. However he wasn't expecting Noah to take a seat opposite him.

"What?" He couldn't help but ask irritated.

Noah, a smile still present on his face, replied, "Oh I have been sitting here to prepare my assignments since I started studying at PSU, it's such a good secluded spot, I'm sure that's why you're here as well. I promise not to disturb you. I'm Noah by the way, Noah Idris. You are?"

Kevin couldn't tell if he was just politely asking for his name for small talk or playing oblivious. He found himself not caring for now. Kevin could just leave if Noah turned out to not keep his word and began pestering him; though he really had enjoyed spending time at this place.

Kevin noticed that Noah hadn't extended a hand, so he simply replied, "Kevin."

"It's nice to meet you, Kevin."
