"As long as I don't fall in Love..." // OxO // Romance // OPEN

"I am not!" He replied grumpily. "Leave me alone!"

She looked at him curiously. "You know, most people love to be called interesting." She raised an eyebrow. "That means you are hiding something!"

"I'm not hiding anything!" He replied. God damn it i just want to be home with Ash.

"That means you are hiding something!" She suppressed her laughter, and just slowly got closer and closer to him

He groaned, rolling his eyes again. "For the love of God! I don't even know your name!"

Her eyes lit up. "I was wondering when you would ask! My name is Astra!" She held out her hand, waiting for him to shake it.

He didn't shake her hand. "I see. Astra..as in deriving from the Latin word for Star?" He asked, looking at her curiously. Then he realized that that bit of information wasn't quite…a normal thing to know.

"Yeah!" she paused and looked at him. "You're surprisingly really smart!" Not many people knew that. In fact, most would call her ass trash instead of Astra (this happened in real life by the way-)

He shrugged. "Just… experienced." He replied, looking away. (Oof. That sucks)

"Aw, don't be shy!" She playfully shoved him, but it was a bit hard. "You don't have to hide your nerdiness from me"

He snorted. Nerdiness… He shook his head slightly.

"Hey it's alright to admit it! I'm a nerd too," she whispered the last sentence, but didn't realize that her whisper was actually louder than her normal talking voice.

"i am not a nerd." He retorted. I have dealt with Napoleons and Alexanders, Jameses and Williams, but for the life of me, I can't get rid of this girl!

"Whatever you say, nerd." She nudged him with her shoulder, giggling. "Hey, do you live around here?"

"Why would I answer that question?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

"I'll walk you home! C'mon," She linked her arm through his. "Lead the way!"

He stared at her. "Uhm…how about no." He replied, pulling his arm from her grasp.

"Why not? You said you're not hiding anything, so prove it!" She linked her arm through his again

"I am not taking a woman that I don't know to my home!" Winter replied.

"Chill, I'm just walking you to your door!" She sighed. "You don't have to be so afraid all the time…"

He shook his head. "Just…no."

"You're so difficult!" She looked at him like he was doing something very strange. "What will it take for me to be your friend?"

"Nothing. I don't do friends." He replied blankly. I want to go home to my cat! Leave me alone!
(Tbh I feel like Winter is me is such a mood XD)

"Oh come on!" She pouted. "What about acquaintances?"
(Honestly same lol)

He shook his head, looking at her. "No."

"Whaaaat? Why not?"

"Because. They're a headache." And i hate watching them grow old and die as I stay young.

She crossed her arms. "How do you know? Have you ever had friends before?"
(_{question, how are we going to wrap this encounter up? Because I'm actually starting to pity your character in this situation lol})

"Yes." He replied, crossing his arms as well.
(Lol I ws planning on having him just give up and let her come, if only just to get her to shut up XD)

(Okay cool lol)
"Who?" She laughed, in total disbelief. "Who in this world is allowed to be your friend?"
