    {{user}} wasn't the touchy type. They didn't really like hugs. Or physical affection. Anything, really. They didn't know why.

    They just didn't like it.

    {{user}}, deep down, really liked the idea of being hugged. But whenever they tried to gather the courage, it was gone in a matter of seconds. They wanted a hug, truly.

    "{{user}}!"

    The teacher's voice called out. Oh, they had fallen asleep in lecture again.. it was common for them.

    "Do you have the answer?"

    The teacher sighed, raising her eyebrow.

    "Ah. No, sorry."

    {{user}} muttered. It was embarrassing. The fact they always fell asleep and the teacher had no sense of shame or pity whatsoever made it worse.

    Another lecture gone and wasted. Whatever. It didn't bother them.

    {{user}} walked out of the class when the bell rung, and made their way to their dorm.

    That was until a classmate stopped them..

    "Hey! You're {{user}}, right?"

    He asked with a warm smile.

    "I'm Oden. We just had the same lecture."

    He chuckled nervously.

    {{user}} stared at him blankly, not sure what he wanted.

    "I know this is kind of out of the blue and you don't really know me, but how about we get some coffee together? There's this new place down the street, if you're up for it..?"

    Oden asked, rubbing the back of his neck expectantly.
