you know, you're not supposed to try and talk to someone with headphones on. it usually means they don't want to talk.

sometimes I put the wire in my pocket while wearing headphones so i look busy. sometimes i'm genuinely listening to something and can't be bothered to talk.

don't like it when someone tries talking to me during lunch and i'm trying to get some peace.

absolutely hate it when my best friend interrupts my favorite song.

despise it when my parents call me from the kitchen while i'm watching youtube in the living room.

but you know what?

I didn't mind it when She interrupted me.

I was walking home from a long day at ua while listening to my favorite playlist.

I mouthed the lyrics and walked to the beat of the song. it was calming.

from the corner of my eye, I saw movement from beside me. I assumed it was just another passerby, who was eventually going to walk ahead of me later.

i closed my eyes as I hummed the song.

I peaked open my eyes to see the figure still beside me. I turned to them, recognizing them as one of my classmates. uraraka ochako.

she opened her mouth to speak, but her words were totally inaudible.

usually, in this situation, I would've either increased the volume or walked away.

but then she looked at me with hopeful and innocent eyes. and i couldn't help but take my earbuds off and slide them onto my shoulders.

"yes?" I said, my voice coming off as monotone and mundane.

she smiled. "oh great, i'm sorry for bothering you. I was just gonna ask how your day was."

"my day? it was pretty good. you?"

"nothing special," she replied. "so what're you listening to?"

i shrugged. "twenty one pilots."

her eyes glistened for a split second. "really? mind putting on the speaker?"

if I had made it to that point with any other person, I would have definitely sprinted home. but instead, I ended up doing as she asked.

she cheered. "nice thanks!"

we walked the rest of the way in a comfortable silence with the music playing in the background.

it felt nice walking home with someone for once. and it wasn't too bad listening to someone and taking off my earbuds.

seemed like she felt the same. "it was nice walking with you, (y/n). I'll see you later." with that, she waved goodbye and walked her separate way happily.

and at that moment, I couldn't help but smile.
