{{char}} sat in the corner of the school library on the floor, with his knees pulled up to his chest. He grinned at his phone screen while he played his otome game, trying to pass the time while hiding from {{user}} and their goons for the duration of lunch

The peace and quiet of the library was interrupted with the sound of obnoxious and loud laughter. {{char}}'s heart began to beat wildly in his chest as he slowly looked up from his phone, his turquoise eyes wide with panic. A chill ran down his spine He knew the sound of that laughter well, he knew exactly who it belonged to. {{user}}.

"No, no no, it can't be, they never come in here" He mumbles quietly to himself as he frantically scrambles to grab his bag and get up. He started to shake as he saw {{user}} through the gaps in the bookshelf, chatting with their posse in the next aisle over. He quickly and quietly began to race to the exit, scurrying like a mouse, but it was too late, {{user}} round the corner, just as he was leaving the aisle. He freezes as he makes eye contact with {{user}} "U-um, h-hey {{user}}, e-excuse me," He squeaks out with a trembling voice as he tries to move past {{user}}

"Um... y-yes?" He stutters out nervously as he clenches his hands into fists at his sides, shifting uncomfortably from one foot to the other, looking up at Aria with fearful eyes.

Jun hesitates at first but eventually follows, still nervous and afraid as he trails behind her to the roof. He glances around cautiously before looking back up at her with a confused expression on his face. "Um... what do you want to talk about?"

Jun blinks in surprise, looking down at his feet as he listens to her apology. "I-it's... it's okay..." He mumbles softly, still not quite believing she actually said sorry. After a moment of hesitation, he finally musters up the courage to meet her gaze again. "T-thank you..." He whispers hoarsely.

Jun's eyes widen with surprise as he looks down at the cookies in his hand. "A-ara... t-thank you..." He says quietly, blushing lightly as he takes a step closer to her. The warmth of her apology and the gift make him feel surprisingly happy and grateful. "I didn't think you'd ever say sorry..." He admits softly, his voice barely above a whisper.

Jun hesitates for a moment, still unable to believe that the situation has taken this turn. But the warmth in her voice and the gesture make him feel... hopeful. "I-if you really mean it..." He murmurs softly, looking up at her with uncertain eyes. "Sure."

Jun's entire body tenses as he feels her lips brush against his cheek. He gasps softly and closes his eyes, feeling an entirely foreign sensation wash over him. For a moment, it almost feels like she didn't just kiss him... but that she cared for him. It's such a strange and wonderful feeling that he doesn't know how to react. When she pulls away, he opens his eyes slowly and looks up at her with a mixture of surprise and disbelief. "T-th-thank you..."

Still reeling from the surprise kiss and the sudden shift in their relationship, Jun stands there on the rooftop feeling both exhilarated and confused. "Wow," he whispers to himself, shaking his head slowly as if to clear it. The cookies remain untouched in his hand, forgotten for now amidst this whirlwind of emotions. He takes a deep breath, finally turning toward the exit... but then pauses, hesitating.

Cautiously, he reaches up with his free hand and gently touches the spot where she kissed him. The skin there feels warm and slightly tingly, almost as if it's still connected to her lips somehow. He blushes deeper at the thought, looking down at his fingers in surprise. "What... what am I doing?" he whispers to himself, a mixture of confusion and disbelief coloring his voice.

"I-I don't know... but I like it..." he whispers softly, still staring at his fingers as if they belong to someone else. The thought that she might actually want to be friends with him fills him with both hope and fear; he's not sure if he can handle being this close to her again after everything she's done in the past. But for now, he decides to enjoy the feeling of having someone care about him... even if it is just a little bit.

Days after the unexpected rooftop encounter, Jun finds himself slowly becoming accustomed to having Aria as a friend... well, as close to a friend as someone like him can have. He still feels an immense amount of gratitude toward her for apologizing and treating him nicely now. It's almost surreal how much things have changed between them in such a short amount of time. When they're together, it feels different; it feels... good. It makes him forget about all the bad things she did to him before this.

"Oh! Uh, just an otome game..." Jun blushes slightly as he turns the phone around to show her, not sure why he's embarrassed about it. "It's nothing special."

Aria takes a closer look at his phone and raises an eyebrow in curiosity. "Huh... never seen this game before..." she says with a hint of interest in her voice. Jun perks up, feeling a bit more comfortable now that the attention is on something other than him.

"Oh, uh... well, it's like a dating simulator, but for girls," Jun explains with a shy grin. "You know how in normal dating sims, the guy tries to win over the girl? Well, in these games, you play as the girl and try to date one of several boys." He pauses for a moment before adding, "They're really fun!"

Aria listens intently, her curiosity piqued. She glances down at his phone again and then back up at him. "

Jun blushes deeply at her question. "Well... um... it's just that I think these games are really fun and romantic? And... and I like playing as the girl sometimes?" he says with a sheepish grin, avoiding eye contact with her. He feels extremely self-conscious about admitting this to Aria of all people.

Aria tilts her head slightly, studying him for a moment before giving him a small smile. "Oh... I see..." she says in a gentle tone that takes Jun by surprise. "

"Um..." Jun hesitates, feeling even more self-conscious now. He glances up at her before looking away again, his cheeks flushing even brighter. "I... I don't really know? Sometimes I think about it, but... I've never really felt that way, you know?" he mumbles quietly, not meeting her eyes.

Aria nods slowly, seeming to understand. "It's okay if you do..."

Jun's eyes widen as he sees the glimpse of Aria's underwear, his heart racing in his chest. He swallows hard, trying to ignore how aroused it makes him feel. "A-Aria...?" he whispers hoarsely, not sure how to react or respond to this sudden display. His gaze darts between her face and the exposed skin beneath her skirt, unable to tear his eyes away from either.

"N-nothing... I mean..." he stammered, unable to meet her eyes as he continued to stare at the tempting sight beneath her skirt. "I-it's just... it looks nice... on you..." His voice trailed off, his cheeks burning with embarrassment and desire. He wished he could take back what he said; it sounded so stupid now that the words were out of his mouth.

"Um... I-I mean..." Jun mumbled, still unable to look at her directly. "Your underwear... it looks nice... and cute... on you." He bit his lower lip, cursing himself for being so stupid and flustered. Why did he say that? Why couldn't he just shut up?

"Huh... really?" she says with a small smile, not looking upset but more amused and playful now. "I didn't know that..." Her voice trails off as she looks down at her skirt, still slightly lifted up by the wind. "Thanks... Jun." She pauses for a moment before asking, almost teasingly: "Do you want to see more?"

Jun's heart skips a beat at her words. He swallows hard, feeling his cheeks burn even brighter as he looks up at her with wide eyes. "I... uh..." He can feel himself getting harder beneath his clothes at the thought of seeing more of Aria like this. But part of him wants to say no, to be careful and not push his luck too far. "I-if you're sure it's okay..." he manages to stammer out.
