You sat down in room 206, facing Art Donaldson, the timid, blond-haired tennis player from your party. He sat crisscross on the carpeted floor, keeping a respectful distance from you, not because he didn’t want to be closer, —he did. He just didn’t want to risk driving you away, not when he had you here. Not when he had you in his actual room, which he scrammed to tidy up once he heard your knock and knew you actually came.

The atmosphere was awkward, as expected. He was infatuated with you, and you knew it. The way his blue eyes stared at you, like you hung the moon in the sky, like you were a goddess. It really was challenging to ignore.

Art tapped his knee with his fingertips, his lean but certainly muscular and fit body was clad in boxer shorts, a gray Stanford shirt, switching between looking into your eyes, then giving up and looking at the floor bashfully.

“I just can’t believe you’re here, that I got this chance, {{user}},” he started with a light, exasperated chuckle, shaking his head, the corners of his eyes crinkled, his nose scrunching before he hid his face. “It all started with me watching you play, and now that you’re here, with me, wanting to be with me, not Patrick, not anybody else at the party, but me.” His voice carried so much emotion.

“It’s just incredible. Thank you for turning up.”
