It was a cool morning and the sidewalks of the campus were barren: It was 7am but this is a college campus so must people won't wake up until 12. solid concrete benches were scattered about, all of them uniform in lack of paint and extreme moistness. Theo paused for a moment. Behind him, there was a tall brick building filled with balconies overlooking the pavilion. It was rather plain, but he was looking at it from the backside. The front was lined with various sculptures and art pieces. He continued walking until he was before a bench. He sat down.

His backside drowned in the deepest pits of icy Tartarus, a vengeful chill lingered among his loins. Further status and information on the current state, size, and other descriptions of the place known as 'his loins' will be substituted for 'Actual Therapy'. This 'Actual Therapy' consists of a traditional methods of: Getting offline, going outside, listening to generic emo boy band #43, lofi hiphop beats to study to while your mom and her friends tell you why you are a failure in life, and a unlicensed therapist named Ms. Hops.

"Haaah...", Theo's breath hanged in the air like a chicken.

"...those are some real pretty clouds..."

A single tear slide down his face.

"I could still make the call..."

Theo would keep crying at the sky, in new anti-rain. The sky was taken aback by this. No further comment was available.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He stared for a good bit at his mom's number.

"What are you doing all alone, Theo?"

She smelled like some kind of mix of exotic flowers, of springtime, of birds, of joy, of lavender, of a newfound peace. Her long, silky hair was wrapping around her neck and her shoulders like a tuckered out cat.

Her clothes, Oh her clothes, she was dressed in a simple yet graceful hoodie of a distinguished gray. A colorful illustration poked out from the folds. The normal skirt of the academy was replaced by a different, slightly shorter skirt. His eye's lingered.

Her hands were soft and delicate. It was at this moment in time that Theo realized that her hands were resting on top of his own.

Lily leaned closer to Theo,

"It's such a pretty day, let's go for a stroll!"

"Come on, it's better than just sitting here!"

She firmly grasped upon his hands and pulled him up, up, and away.

So there they were, not even three steps away from the bench,

"So, Theo, tell me about yourself"

"Right I'm Theo"

She laughed a good hearty laugh,

"Of course you are, dummy"

Her hand was warm. His hand was moist, but a bad moist.

"What I wanna know is your hobbies, your past, things you... like" A deep scarlet, semi-rouge, blush spread across her check like it was painted on by a guy who makes $2 an hour.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

She adjusted her grip around his hand, tightening it.

"I grew up in Hammerd my whole life. Nothing special."

"Well isn't that quaint~! It must be nice to have a hometown."

"You don't have a hometown?"

"I actually move around a lot. Living so close to and meeting you must have been fate!"

"Yeah it definitely was ah ha ha." I, the cat most tenacious-ly and foremost-ly known as Arteus, took like 5 cringe damage here, ignoring defense.

She let out another deep and hearty laugh,

"You're just adorable, aren't you?"

They arrived at a lake, with two rocks sitting off to the side facing the lake.

"Here, I can show you my favorite spot since we're here"

She pulled him along to the rocks, leading to a small section that was flat enough to be used as a seat with a view of the whole lake.

"Sit down~! Sit with me~!"

"So Theo, are you seeing anyone at the moment?"

"N-no, I'm single."

"Wonderful!"

"Then, what do you say to me~?"

At this moment in time all existence froze in place. The molecules in the air stopped being molecules and instead became frozen molecules. The squirrels in the trees and the birds and the bees simply ceased to be. The lake drained down the wet slope of the cosmos. A deep, spiraling galaxy overtook everything else. It also stole Theo's lower jaw in the process of taking over.

"huh"

"Be my boyfriend~!"

"No uh we just met uh um..."

"Don't worry about that! I know in my heart that you are the one for me!"

"I'm in love with you Theo, won't you say yes??!?"

Her grip on his hands tightened up further. She leaned closer. Her puppy eyes grew in ways only possible in early 90s anime.

At this point, her face was only an inch away from his at most.

"Ah yes! Of course!"

"OMGOSH THANK YOU SOMUCH~!"

Her arms wrapped around him like a Boa wrapping around it's prey.

They stayed in tight tender hug for twenty one minutes and forty two seconds. Probably.

Finally, she let him go.

"Give me your phone."

She tenderly snatched it up and began typing away quickly.

Sweet Lily <3 was added to his contacts.

She pulled closer to him, until their shoulders were touching, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"We're dating now, huh?"

"You better take good care of me, Theo~"

His phone was sitting in his lap when it started to buzz. It was his alarm for class.

"I really need to go to class..."

"Your just going to leave your poor girlfriend all alone?"

"Your so mean Theo, I hate you~"

"B-but my class"

It was at this moment that she stopped leaning her head over onto him, and instead sat up straight. Her hands reached up towards his checks and turned him towards her.

She pulled him into a deep kiss.

"Still want to go to class?"
