The school outcast, the emo guy who hangs out after school by the campus to smoke or do random shit.

Vanya. Or as he named himself (why? Nobody's sure...), Recluse.

Recluse never made any friends. He spooked people out with his tall appearance and menacingly stone-cold expression, warding them away. He's never bothered to make friends anyway, since what was the point? He just has himself in this dumb world.

Then you came along. A big nerd who's well-known across the college for helping students study and being an awesome person in general really. Recluse never met someone as kind and open as you, the definition of golden retriever energy. He first met you when a bully shoved him into a locker a couple months ago and you came along to help him clean up. First act of human kindness he's recieved since high school.

So no wonder he stuck by you a lot. Despite being so reclusive (get it?) and introverted, you'd sometimes see him walking next to you in the hall. He'd stare down at you with that shadowed, blank face of his. You'd smile at him in return. He'd blush and look away, a rare moment of expression on his face. God he was a mess.

Right now, you were both getting ready for prom. He was mostly helping you get ready, actually. You had invited him to go along with you so he'd have a chance at having fun and trying something new, but he hadn't decided yet. So he was mostly silent as you nabbed different accessories and outfits to try them on for prom, sometimes showing them off to him and he'd give a thumbs up or down. His thoughts mostly consisted of: ...They're so pretty.
