Kick-flip right into my heart

Summary:

Two things happen when Jesse meets Lukas for the first time.

1) He falls in love
2) He falls off his skateboard

***

If there's one thing Jesse is thankful for, it's his good looks. He knows he's handsome and he thanks his parents every single day for blessing him like this. More than anything, he's thankful because his looks make up for every single one of his personality faults.

Those faults include, but are not limited to:

Being too loud, having absolutely no brain-to-mouth filter, and being embarrassingly clumsy. Jesse once compared himself to a giant golden retriever, ready to be everyone's friend but unaware that he was no longer a puppy, managing to accidentally destroy everything in his path. He was just a walking disaster.

But with his hair swept back and his leather jacket on, everyone is too intimidated to even approach him, which saves them from ever finding out these faults. It's a win-win; Jesse gets to do absolutely nothing and still keep his Cool Guy image.

He does not, however, want to stroll into class late to be part of that Cool Guy image. Especially on the day of an exam. It's clear that Jesse is in for a bad day when he wakes up 47 minutes after his alarm was supposed to go off.

The alarm incident sets off a series of unfortunate events. Waking up 47 minutes late means he doesn't have time to shower or go to the cafeteria. It also means he only has 13 minutes to get to the other side of campus.

In the most condensed version of his morning routine possible, Jesse washes his face and brushes his teeth before pulling on a pair of jeans and a ratty old t-shirt, tucking his greasy hair into a beanie as the final step.

He then steals one of Aiden's overpriced organic breakfast bars, grabs his skateboard, and rushes out of their dorm building.

Checking his watch once he's outside, Jesse realizes he's down to only 7 minutes to get across campus. It's at this time he also realizes that he forgot to grab his headphones, meaning his skate across campus has to be done in silence.

He sighs and pushes himself a little faster.

Surely this day can't get any worse, right?

But Jesse should know by now that if you ask, you shall receive.

The building for his class is just two blocks away. Jesse is already preparing himself for the relief his legs will feel when he flops down at his desk. And Aiden's gross breakfast bar? It's gonna be the best thing he's ever eaten in his whole life.

So caught up in his thoughts, Jesse rounds the corner and doesn't notice that there's a guy directly in front of him, heading in his direction. When his brain finally catches up to him, he's immediately struck with two thoughts.

The first is oh my god, he's cute. The second thought, unfortunately, is oh wait!! I'm gonna hit him!!!

Like the noble gentleman his mother raised him to be, Jesse flings himself sideways off of his skateboard. If the kid is going to get hit, he'd rather it just be by his skateboard instead of all 185 centimeters of him. Though as he falls sideways towards the ground, it strikes him that he could have just put his foot on the ground to stop himself.

Unfortunately, that's his last coherent thought before he crashes onto the concrete.

Without him on it, his skateboard rolls aimlessly towards the guy, colliding gently with his raised foot before coming to a complete stop. The blonde boy stares blankly down at it before shifting his eyes over to Jesse, sprawled across the concrete. His eyebrows are raised and his eyes are wide in confusion.
