that girl. | lorenz

bulletpoint request: perhaps headcanons of Lorenz w a crush on a loud / brash reader — I think this would be a fun scenario, your writing style is really fun to read too 💚

--- --- ---

- this is inspired by that all time low song
- firstly this is just so incredibly funny for me to imagine
- lorenz thinks that he absolutely despises you no offense
- he thinks you're, in his words, too much
- but, he had to admit, you were impressive
- intriguing, almost
- it was like he never wanted to be around you and yet never wanted to leave your side
- he just wanted to analyze you
- "analyze?" hilda would ask, "don't you mean just getting to know her?"
- lorenz would shake his head
- his interest in you piqued when claude had said something snarky towards him and you stood up for him, pointing your finger to claudes chest and telling him off for being rude
- lorenz would've admired looked at you more as you did it, to analyze you, but he was slightly flustered
- i mean, you did yell at claude in the middle of the dining hall during lunch
- after lunch, though, lorenz found you walking alone back to your room for a little free time
- he began jogging to catch up to you, but then stopped and walked more nonchalantly to make himself seem cool
- cool? what?
- lorenz would shake his head- who cared what you thought of him? certainly not he
haha bitch you're wrong
- he lightly tapped on your shoulder and you turned around
- your eyebrows were originally furrowed but when you saw lorenz, your face morphed into a wide grin
- "hey, bud! what's up?"
- lorenz would immediately flush
- that smile? holy shit
- you? holy shit
- he realized then he didn't want to just .. analyze you
- well, he did, but more intimately if u catch my drift
- not like that though
- "y/n, id just like to say thank you for standing up to claude. i could've easily handled it myself, but you were certainly faster than i."
- "ah it's no problem!" you'd say bashfully, "i just don't like people bullying the people i care for, yknow?"
-" people you care for?"
- your eyes widened and your face flushed, nearly mirroring hildas hair
- "w-well yeah, i care a lot about you lorenz"
- he looked at the ground, "i have some emotion for you as well, i just can't quite figure it out yet." he began
- you tilted your head- this man was one grape vine of confusion
- "i think what i'm trying to say is that you interest me a lot, y/n, and i'd like to get to know you better."
- "oh," you were still confused, wondering if this was a confession or not.
- you decided to take the safe route just in case, "well, you can know more about me soon. how about tea this evening?"
- "tea sounds wonderful," he smiles at you, "it's a date."
- your face flushes again as lorenz turns around to go to his own room
- he smiles to himself slightly, "that girl will be the death of me."
