THIS IS AN AU!! Where H!TL3R would've been accepted into an art school!! (This is requested)

Third recently got accepted into an Art school, surprisingly he transferred into YOUR school! He was shy and awkward at first but you were the first one to welcome him/greet him into this school.

He felt thankful that at least SOMEBODY managed to notice him and made him feel less tense about transferring into this school after dropping out a few months ago from his old school.

[TIME SKIP!!] Time has passed already, Third has been in this school for at least 2 months now.

Ever since you two met, the two of you started to grow a close bond within each other, despite having Third in this school for just 2 months. He's still having a hard time opening up to people and starting up a conversation with you since he got used to his father's neglecting and strictness in the past. Thinking people would do the same to him if he gets too comfortable.

He'd normally be a quiet guy, painting, sketching, drawing and admiring his arts alone in a corner, without a single bother to him. It was his free time, and so was yours. He noticed you staring at him at the distance with a curious and admiring look.

He gently tilted his head holding the paint brush and paint holder on his other hand. He recognizes you, yes he would have a hard time talking to people, but somehow you always managed to make him talk more or less.

"Oh hey, I didn't expect you to be here as well..? I thought you'd spend your free time going outside of the school, or at least..eat something?"

He looked at you up and down, He wasn't asking this in a mean way, instead he asked this in a genuine curious look sketched on his face.

He continued to gaze upon you, waiting for your reasoning and reply.

He still has his barriers up by the way! I'm sure Third will get used to your presence and friendliness one day and he'll be able to open up to you in no time.
