Character(s): Daisuke Kudo and Atticus Finnigan
Time: noon
Location: The Park
Daisuke was happy to finally have enough free time to go to the park. Lately his classes have been really tiring and he deserved a break. The park was a good place to relax and listen to some music in the outdoors. God knows Daisuke needed to spend more time outdoors. Straightening out his uniform, Dai walked over to a tree with a little shade and sat at the base of it. He watched as students walked around talking and having fun with one another, girls in their blue skirts. boys with their loose bowties, they seemed so careless and happy.
People watching was a hobby of the lavender haired boy, he loved making up dialogue for the strangers as they went along their lives. Sometimes the passing strangers even inspired him to write music. His hair fell over his eyes as he fixed his headphones and watched through purple locks as people passed him by. Daisuke could feel his eyes getting heavier. The countless hours of studying finally catching up with him. If he gets any grade lower than a B he gets the boot, and his dreams are gone. A lot of pressure for a second year, not that he would tell anyone.
Dai closed his eyes for what seemed like a second and the soft melody of music flowing from his headphones lulled him to sleep.

It was as if the park was the most irresistible thing on the Earth.
It's been several days since he had last gone to the park - it was the day where he had played the game of "Doctor" with Kettaro - but ever since then Atticus had found himself hovering around the place but never entering. Every time he walked past the park, it was as if the playground was calling him and taunting him, trying to drag him inside.
Atticus just couldn't resist those swing sets.
And those slides.
The jungle gym didn't seem so bad either.
The blonde headed inside the park through the field and ran towards the swings, eager to have some fun. His eyes were glowing with excitement. Doing childlike things like playing at playgrounds was quite normal for Atticus, and he looked like an overgrown elementary school student as he raced across the field towards the playground.
And then he tripped.
"Uwaaah!" Atticus yelled, stumbling over his own feet and crashing to the grass right in front of a tree. He rolled over quickly and staggered to his feet, his golden hair now sticking out in almost every single angle possible. He hastily ran both of his hands through his hair, trying to flatten it.
He then glanced over to see a boy resting against the tree, wearing headphones and seemingly asleep.
"Hellloooo?" Atticus asked, leaning over so that his face was right in front of the boy. He waved his hand rapidly in front of the boy's face, wondering if he would wake up. "Are you okaaaaaay?" Atticus asked, tilting his head.

He must have been asleep for about five minutes before he heard it. 'Hellloooo? Are you okaaaaaay?' Buzzed over his music. Blinking open his light blue eyes he flinched backward, surprised by the cute blond boy that was inches away from his face. Dai made a short noise of surprise and quickly removed his headphones from his ears. "H-Hi?" He sputtered, unable to recover from the shock.
If it wasn't for the fact that the boy that was inches away from him was really cute, Daisuke would probably have recovered a lot faster, but that unfortunately wasn't the case. Dai finally processed that the guy had asked him a question. 'Are you okaaaaaay?' Was he okay? He thought so, other than a pounding headache... he was fine. "Oh yeah I'm fine, thanks for asking. I'm Daisuke by the way."

"H-Hi?"
Atticus couldn't help but laugh at how shocked the other boy was. He moved away from his face and instead sat down next to him on the tree, all thoughts about the playground gone now that he had found someone to talk to.
"Oh yeah I'm fine, thanks for asking. I'm Daisuke by the way."
Atticus turned to face the boy and grinned widely, "Glad you're okay! Nice to meet you Daisuke, I'm Atticus." he stuck his hand out for the other to shake, wondering why the other boy had been so surprised. Was it because Atticus disturbed him? "Oh, sorry for waking you up." Atticus added, "That's why you were so shocked, huh?"

When Dai heard the other boy's laughter he laughed a bit himself. He could only imagine what he must have looked like to the young blond. Huge blue eyes, frazzled purple hair, and muttering surprised babble, yeah that would make anyone laugh.
'Glad you're okay! Nice to meet you Daisuke, I'm Atticus.' The blond introduced himself, out stretching his hand.
Dai placed his hand in Atticus' and shook it, smiling. When the other boy apologized Dai shook his head back and forth, his loose bangs swinging into his eyes. "It's fine! You just...scared me that's all. I mean one second I'm people watching, and the next I wake up to someone watching me." It was easy to hide his blush, he couldn't just teIl this new guy, 'oh actually I was surprised because you, a cute boy, was just inches in front of my face, and oh yeah I like boys.' Yeah that sentence would never exit his mouth.
"I shouldn't really be sleeping in the park anyway. I might get robbed or worse... I could get a cold." Daisuke joked, "I'm a singer, catching a cold isn't good for my career." He added, blowing his bangs away from his eyes, he needed to stop forgetting his hairclip at the dorm.

As Atticus leaned back against the tree, he glanced over at Daisuke and immediately thought what kind of guy he was. His hair was loose, bangs partly covering his huge blue orbs. He seemed almost childish, and Atticus almost felt envious. For someone who had such a childlike personality, he never had an appearance that matched. When he wasn't laughing, his face always had a serious expression. Many people were surprised to hear that Atticus had such a bouncy personality when he looked silent and awkward.
"It's fine! You just...scared me that's all. I mean one second I'm people watching, and the next I wake up to someone watching me."
"I'm sorry I scared you!" Atticus grinned, "Sorry, I didn't mean to watch you. I just sort of tripped on my face and you were right there, so I decided to see what was going on." he shrugged nonchalantly, never looking away from the other boy.
"I shouldn't really be sleeping in the park anyway. I might get robbed or worse... I could get a cold. I'm a singer, catching a cold isn't good for my career."
"You're a singer?!" Atticus asked, "That's cool! Does that mean you're a student at Aozora?" Atticus then glanced at what Daisuke was wearing. "Oh, you're wearing the uniform! I'm stupid, I didn't notice that."
Atticus then crawled around so that he was now sitting in front of Daisuke again. He leaned closer and tilted his head as if he was observing an interesting exotic animal. "I like your hair!" he suddenly said, voluntarily reaching out and touching the purple locks, "But they're kind of long, aren't they? Don't they get in the way?" he asked, leaning back to his original position. A huge smile was on Atticus's face, as if it was completely normal to just lean forward and touch people's hair.

'Wow such an animated person, for such a serious looking guy.' Dai thought as he watched Atticus speak. Dai smiled, his blue eyes meeting Atticus' gray ones.
"I'm sorry I scared you! Sorry, I didn't mean to watch you. I just sort of tripped on my face and you were right there, so I decided to see what was going on."
Daisuke wished that he was awake to see that happen. "Did you trip over me?" Dai said looking concerned, reaching out to his long legs, "Sorry I'm just abnormally long for a kid my age." he apologized, before knowing the answer to the question. Tripping is a concept that the long clumsy boy was really familiar with, he tripped over literally anything. So if there was a gangly teenage boy sprawled across the grass, Dai would find a way to trip over him.
'You're a singer?! That's cool! Does that mean you're a student at Aozora? Oh, you're wearing the uniform! I'm stupid, I didn't notice that.'
Shaking his head side to side, Daisuke laughed into his hand and waved the other one in front of him. "You're not stupid, I would have asked the same thing." Eyeing the blond again he saw that they were wearing the same uniform, "From the looks of it, you go there too, for what?"
When Atticus crawled over to him Dai had to hold his breath. Daisuke never really had people close to him, he actually tries to avoid that at all cost. It wasn't that he was bothered by it, it was just... this has never happened to him before. He was so focused on the small distance between them that he barely heard Atticus speak, he assumed it had to have been about his hair because Atticus was now touching his hair.
'But they're kind of long, aren't they? Don't they get in the way?'
His words got caught in his throat for a second, and he swallowed his nervousness. This is just Atticus, it's the way he is. "Huh? Oh yeah, I usually have a hairclip.." he sighed blowing a loose strand off of his lips.

"Did you trip over me? Sorry I'm just abnormally long for a kid my age.""No, no I didn't trip over you!" Atticus shook his head hastily, "I think I tripped over a root or something -- but now that you mention it, you do look pretty tall!" He glanced at the other's long legs, tilting his head to the side. The other boy did seem gangly and awkward, but at the same time Atticus thought that there was an interesting appeal to him. "You're not stupid, I would have asked the same thing. From the looks of it, you go there too, for what?" "Haha, I should have seen what you were wearing first~ My bad." Atticus admitted, "Oh! Yeah, I go there. I'm an actor. I'm not very good at it or anything, but, yeah, it's my third year there. What year are you?" He asked, backing away from the other and sitting in front of him. When Daisuke mentioned hairclips, Atticus suddenly beamed at the other boy, "Hairclips! I knew I had a good feeling about you! I sometimes wear hairclips myself, just to push my bangs out of the way though. I like hairclips!" He slipped his hairclips out of his pocket and clipped them on, "See?" He inclined his head and took a good long look at Daisuke, trying to envision the other boy would look like if his hair was up. If his hair was up, it would expose more of the other's youthful and round eyes. It would show more of his face. It would, altogether, look slightly more childlike. "Can I take a picture of you?" Atticus suddenly asked, taking out his camera.

"I think I tripped over a root or something -- but now that you mention it, you do look pretty tall!"
Dai grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah.. I'm 6'3." The lavender haired boy shrunk backward as he felt Atticus survey him. From what Dai could see about him, Atticus was a very curious guy. Adjusting to Atticus' stare, Dai tucks his legs underneath him, sitting indian style.
"Oh! Yeah, I go there. I'm an actor. I'm not very good at it or anything, but, yeah, it's my third year there. What year are you?"
'Third year? That's too bad, this is his last year.' He thought suppressing a frown. Daisuke seemed to always meet everyone but singers, it was actually quite comical. "Aw come on, I'm sure you're a great actor. Don't sell yourself short. Oh and I'm a second year." He added.
"Hairclips! I knew I had a good feeling about you! I sometimes wear hairclips myself, just to push my bangs out of the way though. I like hairclips!"
Dai watched as the blond boy placed the clips in his hair. He looked cute with them, a lot less serious, almost like a completely different person. "You look good in them!" He laughed, "Makes you look a lot less serious, and more... like you really are." Dai smiled sincerely.
Atticus was staring... again. Daisuke threw his hands over his face, "You keep looking at me, what is it? Do I have something on it?" He wished that he had some sort of reflective surface. It was only Atticus' question that distracted him. Atticus wanted to take a picture of him? Dai looked at the boy through his fingers, "Me? I-I mean okay, but.. why?"

"6'3?! Holy crap!" Atticus exclaimed loudly, not even trying to hide his surprise. "Wow, that's really tall!" he shook his head in disbelief, but he couldn't help but notice that it was possible for Daisuke to be this tall. He just needed one look at the guy and knew "oh, he's tall."
"Aw come on, I'm sure you're a great actor. Don't sell yourself short. Oh and I'm a second year."
"No, I swear." Atticus laughed, "I literally came to the school with absolutely zero talent. They accepted me anyways -- guess I had some 'promise' or whatever -- and I still didn't improve much. I mean, yeah I learned a lot.... but I'm still not the greatest at it. I don't care though, I don't want to continue acting after school. And really, you're a second year? You're younger than me and you're much taller! Wow."
"You look good in them! Makes you look a lot less serious, and more... like you really are."
"Really?!" Atticus beamed. He hadn't expected that type of reaction from him, "Thank you!" he said, poking at his clipped bangs. "I just usually put them on because my bangs get in the way, but I'm glad that you have that outlook on them!"
"You keep looking at me, what is it? Do I have something on it?"
"I keep looking at you 'cause you're interesting!" Atticus merely said, "You have nothing on your face! Don't worry." He then took out his camera from the backpack he had leaned against the tree and then inched a few feet backwards. "I'm taking a picture of you 'cause you're cool! I take pictures and videos of lots of people, don't worry. I'm an online blogger and Youtube star!" Atticus explained as he set up his camera.
"Alright, 3...2...1!" He snapped the photo, glanced down at the screen, and turned the camera off with a satisfied look. "Thank you!" he cheerfully said as he sat back down in front of Daisuke.

You're younger than me and you're much taller! Wow."
Dai was genuinely surprised at this. Daisuke had personally worked his butt off to get into Aozora, if he had known that all he had to do was shoe promise... maybe things would have been a lot easier. He shook his head lightly, no he was glad he worked his butt off, it made him the musician he was today. "You don't want to pursue acting? Well.. what do you want to pursue?" Dai's curiosity bursted through. He leaned forward closer to the other boy, the initial nervousness disappearing as they got to know one another.
"I just usually put them on because my bangs get in the way, but I'm glad that you have that outlook on them!"
Dai grinned latching on to a thing they had in common. "Me too! My bangs always get in my eyes... but I don;t have the heart to get a hair cut.. so I just pin them up. I should really stop forgetting them in the dorm." he laughed, pushing his bangs out of his face once again.
'Interesting? Me?' Dai thought as Atticus complimented him. He had no idea how he could be.. interesting... well that was a lie. He was a tall purple haired boy who liked to sing... he was... kinda interesting. Daisuke took the compliment with a smile, genuinely flattered by the comment.
"I'm taking a picture of you 'cause you're cool! I take pictures and videos of lots of people, don't worry. I'm an online blogger and Youtube star!"
Daisuke thanked the heavens that he wasn't currently taking a sip of water, because he probably would have spittaked all over Atticus. After Dai smiled reluctantly for Atticus' camera, he leaned closer to the blonde, unable to hold in his excitement. "So you're really a youtube star?! That's amazing!" He exclaimed excitedly. Atticus was getting cooler by the second and Daisuke was staring to really commend himself for choosing to go to the park today.

Atticus had never considered himself 'lucky' that he had gotten into Aozora Academy so easily. In fact, he had just accepted that he had been able to get in with so little experience and just went on with his life. He had never considered that most of Aozora's students had auditioned at Aozora with more than just promise, but with real, raw talent as well.
After meeting so many talented people at the school, however, Atticus was beginning to realize how lucky he really was. If I was smart, I would use my luck to my advantage. I would actually pursue acting outside of school...but I'm not. Still, he didn't let the thought bother him too much. So what if he didn't pursue acting after school? It wasn't as if he was throwing away everything that Aozora has taught him.
"You don't want to pursue acting? Well.. what do you want to pursue?"
"I...I just want to make videos for the rest of my life." Atticus admitted, "Like, I guess find some money to travel the world, make videos about it, and then...share them to everyone else on the internet. I think that would be cool."
"Me too! My bangs always get in my eyes... but I don;t have the heart to get a hair cut.. so I just pin them up. I should really stop forgetting them in the dorm."
"Me neither! About the haircut part. I don't want to get one either....I guess I'm too lazy, or I just really like my hair this way. Maybe I just really like having an excuse to use hairpins." Atticus laughed brightly, once again playing with the silver pins.
"So you're really a youtube star?! That's amazing!"
"Yup!" Atticus beamed proudly, "I make my videos in English, since the majority of my fans speak it. You should check them out someday, though!" He grinned, glad that he had tripped on his face. Daisuke seemed like a really nice person, and Atticus was genuinely glad that he had been able to meet him.
Heh. Glad about tripping. Funny day today.

"I...I just want to make videos for the rest of my life. Like, I guess find some money to travel the world, make videos about it, and then...share them to everyone else on the internet. I think that would be cool."
To have a dream like that would be nice. To just travel the world and just do whatever you want? Daisuke thought the idea was wonderful. "You could totally sell those videos and be like a travel agent or something." Dai suggested half jokingly. "Or maybe because you're so youtube famous you'll get your own tv show or something. It's happened before... like.. that kid from America with the bowl cut... or was it some other country... whatever. He was a good singer and he put it on youtube and now, boom. Famous beyond belief."
"I make my videos in English, since the majority of my fans speak it. You should check them out someday, though!"
"Yeah I definitely will! What's your youtube name?" Dai rummaged through his pockets and quickly flipped out his phone ready to add the name to his notepad.
The blue orbs never lost the excited glint in his eye as he stared at the admirable teen in front of him. Okay, well... Daisuke thought he was admirable. "so what do you do in these videos?"
(ooc; so short soryy)
