open to : m / nb !! muse : son ryuji . art student . plot : you asked to borrow my notes & of course i happily oblige but i just remembered that i draw you , all the fucking time , in the margins & oh god oh no
he’s out of breath from running across campus after the ill - timed light bulb finally went off in his brain . GOD , he really is dumb , isn’t he ?? maybe what they say about art kids is actually right --- that they never use the logic centers of their brains .
panting still , he reaches up to knock on the smooth wooden door of the other’s dorm , leaning against the doorframe , legs still burning . why did the art building have to be so goddamn far from the dorms ? & to think he’d only just remembered about his notebook because the thumbnail for his latest assignment had been scrawled in there on one of the blank pages near the back ... the subject of which , horrifyingly enough , is currently in possession of .
( not to mention -- the dozens of doodles he’d made of them in class , because his eyes keep drifting over to them , because he can’t help himself & his stupid , useless gay heart . )
the door finally opens , & ryuji freezes for just a moment . ❝ ----- hi , ❞ he finally manages to breathe . ❝ uh -- i just remembered . my notebook , it’s ... umm .. i’m worried you won’t be able to read my handwriting . ❞ LIES !! son ryuji , you write neater than a printer sometimes . ❝ so , um ... i thought maybe i could take it back , & type it up for you , & i could email my notes to you instead ? ❞ say you haven’t already looked at it . please say you haven’t .
