he gestures outside the train, pointing northwards, "there's this beautiful museum right up ahead. how about we check it out? it's the next stop." schlatt's voice softens, and it makes your heart speed up—you've just met this man, but already you feel charmed and compelled by him beyond belief—his deep, soothing voice pulls at your heartstrings and his demeanor radiates such positivity and passion that you can't ignore.

more people enter through the train's doors, quickly filling up the seats. as the doors shut with a hiss, you only just realized how the space has become much more crowded—and, as a result, people are cramping up in the seats in droves. you feel  your body practically get squashed against schlatt's, and an intense blush graces your s/c cheeks. your e/c eyes meet with his for a brief flash—was he smirking? either way, he doesn't say anything, and you can feel the warmth emanating from his body—you don't mind it, though, strangely enough.

something about this man makes me want to trust him, you think.

"do you mind if i..?" schlatt slowly grabs your h/s hand as the train begins to slow down. you feel your face flush with heat as his fingers interlock with yours, "i don't mind." his hand was soft and gentle, and it felt natural to be in his grasp. you notice his charming smirk softened into an easy smile, and your heart kept pounding.

the train comes to a full stop. with several people leaving, shuffling feet and city noise drown all sounds. schlatt easily slips through the crowd, keeping your hand in his, though you had some struggles squeezing through the crowd. you and schlatt step out of the train and walk a few steps before he lets go of your hand and dusts his suit off. you felt an immediate sense of yearning.

biting your lip, you decide to distract yourself with your surroundings—the city never fails to astonish you, with its dazzling lights in the glimmering sun that shine like stars, towering buildings that kiss the sky, and crowds of people filled with so much passion and drive. you've only moved into the city recently, so everything is still exciting and brand new, entertaining you in a childlike manner.

"hmm? starstruck?" schlatt's melodic voice fills your ears—it's so sweet and familiar—and you turn to see the stranger—no, you suppose your new friend now—grinning widely. you can't help but blush, scratching your neck bashfully.

"er, i guess you could say so. i just... love everything about this place, really," you muse, your eyes still wandering over sidewalks and statues, each filled with so much history you were desperate to learn.

a sudden warmth pools in your hand, and you look up to see schlatt holding your hand again. you gulp, but don't retract your hand—schlatt's eyes bore into yours as he says, "ready to go on an adventure?"

you nod with fervor, so captivated by this man's mystical behavior and seemingly untouchable aura—everything about him made you want to follow him to the end of the earth. "i'm ready."
