   "Well, this is my stop."

   I was currently walking Nejire back to her dorms after a wonderful afternoon in the courtyard. She was skipping slightly in her step, meaning she also happened to enjoy our time together, which I was happy about.

   "Aw, already?" I whined. She gave a playful glare and twirled around to face me.

   "Yep. Lucky for you, Mister, I happened to not have classes today, so you should be thankful." She said.

   "Well, lucky for you, Miss, I never have class, so you can see me whenever you want." I attempted to flirt.

   "Is this a good thing for me, or for you?" She jabbed back.

   "I'd like to think we both benefit, for one reason or another~"

   She gave a goofy smile from behind her blushing.

   "Well then, I guess I'll see you around~" She attempted to be flirtatious, but had limited success due to her being visibly flustered.

   I laughed at her attempt, which made her stop.

   "Oh, come on! You knew it was good!" She pouted, crossing her arms defensively.

   "So you were trying to grab my attention?" I asked playfully, making her blush grow deeper.

   "W-Well, I-"

   "It's alright. It definitely worked, so I won't hold it against you..." I flirted back, making my voice a bit deeper and quieter.

   She let out a squeak as I finished, making me laugh and pull away.

   "Well, I'll see you around, Nejire." I said as I stepped back a little further. She turned to walk into her dorm room, but before I knew what was happening, I felt her soft lips pressed onto my cheek.

   She pulled away, her face flushed slightly and with a goofy smile, before she waved and walked into the building.

   I continued to stare at the door, long after it was closed. I reached my hand up to touch the spot her lips touched.

   That went... well...

   I started to walk around, trying to find the 1A dorms, though with Nejire clouding my mind, it was a bit harder than expected.

   Eventually, I found my way to Heights Alliance, and walked up to the door. I was so focused on what happened in the last few hours, that I completely missed that the lights were on, and that there was motion from beyond the windows.

   I opened the door and walked inside. The front hall was empty, so I just continued on my way to my dorm. I reached the part where the entrance into the common room and the stairs met, and went in the direction of the stairs.

   "Halt!"

   I froze, looking to where that sound came from. A guy with tamed blue hair and glasses was running over to me.

   "I demand to know who you are, and your purpose here in these dorms; especially at a time like this!" He yelled, waving his arms around animatedly.

   Well he's definitely a... character...

   I decided to ignore him and continue walking, though I was stopped when he put his hand on my shoulder.

   Instinctively, I grabbed his hand and twisted it awkwardly. He made a small yelp, and I released it.

   "Iida! Stop harassing him!" I looked over to see a group of girls, and the one who called him out had pink skin and small horns.
