I had to do some fucking research for this shit so here you fucking go
The reason why Opheus said it was for all the wrong reasons was because they werent Eurydice. The original Eurydice was a oak nymph and all the other forms of Eurydice had characteriatics of a nymph. They were all beautiful young maidens who loved poetry, music, dance, and singing. They also were very shy and lived by mountains, forests, springs, or any type of landform (thank you Wikipedia). They were also all women. Thinking of the statistics, there is a 7% that Theo would be Eurydice, but he felt something that made him believe in tht 7%. Not that Orpheus had anything about people falling in love with the same sex. Its just fate never made that happen. But what if fate did this time?
Orpheus then looked at Theo and stared at his features. He had short brown hair, chubby fingers, and was really short. He also noticed that Theo had really small feet. He found it adorable.
How can you like someone when you know they arent Eurydice? It will only end in heartbreak.
While Chenle was fawning over Theos cuteness, Theo had shown him around th whole school
"So do you know where to go?"
"Um, I just, you arent, no?"
"Show me your schedule"
Orpheus gave his schedule to Theo and actually looked at the school. It was pretty okay. Their mascot was a manatee but what can you expect from Florida (issa joke)
"Oh right. The principal put us in the same classes so then you wont be lost for the rest of the year."
"Then lead the way Eury- I mean
Theo." Orpheus said with a smile hoping that Theo wouldnt notice his slip up. Theo did notice but he didnt say anything.
"Ok so our first class is.." Theo led them to all of their classes and it actually wasnt that bad. Theo always sat next to Orpheus so then he could have someone to talk to.~time skip cuz im lazy~
After school, Theo asked Orpheus to walk with him after school so they can learn more about each other.
"So chenle, where are you from?"
"Uhh, China."
"Thats cool. My great grandfather is Chinese."
"Thats truly amazing. Life changing. Eye opening. I never knew anyone who ever had an ancestor from China. Even though i lived there." Orpheus said sarcastically.
"I was just trying to make conversation lele."
"What did you just call me."
"Lele. Its a cute nickname. Just like you."
Orpheus blushed and quickly looked away.
"Awwww! My little Lele is blushing"
"S-stop Im not b-blus-shing. Its just the cold."
"We literally live in Florida. We dont have cold. We have hot and hotter."
"Whatever."
The talked to what felt like hours and suprisingly enough, there was never an awkward silence (*crow noise* haHa GET IT) between the two of them.
After a couple of hours, they ended up going back to their own homes.
Maybe this wont be too bad Orpheus thought while going to sleep. He thought about Theo and not one time did Eurydice ever come into his mind.
