Character(s): Haru Soshirou, anyone else. Time: 4 PM // Saturday Location: Zoo
In his short seventeen years, Haru had never been too far out of his urban town, much less to someplace as bustling and exciting as a zoo. As terrified as he was by pretty much everything around him, he was also captivated. The sounds, the sights, all of it. However, he was a bit confused. It seemed like everyone knew where everything was, and he simply stood numbly in the middle of the commotion like a child lost in a grocery store.
He darted his eyes around the vicinity, not catching a single familiar face. It made sense that he didn't recognize anyone anyways. He had never been very good with remembering names, faces, or anything in between. Besides, he'd been staying quiet, and had failed to make any friends besides a few acquaintances in class or the halls.
Making his way over to a bench, he plopped down and put his head back, covering his eyes with his forearm to block the sun. Eventually, he'd be able to find his way back to the Academy, but for now, it was just nice to relax, ignoring the shrieks and squawks of children and animals.

Kanata's pink collared shirt flapped in the light breeze as she paused for a second. Now....where exactly was she again? She had just exited from the penguin sanctuary with a little stuffed penguin to prove that she had been there. As of now it was tucked away neatly in the space between her body and the large stuffed lion that clung to her back. She grasped at the paws of the lion around her neck as she looked around trying to figure things out.
How long had she been here too? It didn't even seem like hours ago that she had entered into the zoo, more like mere minutes. Quickly she had become entranced by it, it's many attractions, decorations, and shops. It felt like something out of a dream for her to see so many exotic animals in one place. After all the only exotic animal she had ever seen in her home town had been a llama. Or was it an alpaca? She wasn't sure.
She grabbed the small map of the zoo from her back pocket and made her way over to a bench. There was ginger headed boy already sitting down, but Kanata was oblivious to him. She pulled out a flamingo shaped pen from her purse (one that she had just acquired from a gift shop) and began to mark off places that she had already been to on the map.

Kurumi just decided that today she was going to go to the zoo. It wasn't out of the ordinary for the spontaneous girl to just up and leave to a random place. She was in the middle of eating luch and boom, a commercial for the zoo came up, so.. she then wanted to go to the zoo. She ran a brush through her hair, pushed a black beanie over it, picked out a dress and threw a long light cardigan over it, then she hopped out of her apartment as she tried to put on her boots. Locking her door behind her, she stuffed her keys into her back and headed off toward the zoo. When she got there, the blue haired girl raced to get a map and began looking around. Before she had reached any place she noticed two familiar faces. They were two people from school. She knew that the red head was in her dance class but she couldn't put a finger on where she had seen the girl. Since Kurumi was feeling a bit sociable today, she approached the bench, bending down at the two and smiling, "Hey! You guys are from Aozora right? I'm Kurumi Fujimoto!" She gave a small wave at the two, and hoped they were friendly too.

Haru was in that numb, half-asleep state when a cheerful voice woke him up. "Hey! You guys are from Aozora right? I'm Kurumi Fujimoto!"
He bolted up, startled. A second ago, he was alone, and now there was a girl beside him, and another in front of him. Had he really fallen asleep...? The girl on the bench beside him looked so absorbed in what she was doing that she probably didn't even notice him. Rubbing at his tired eyes with his knuckles, he stood awkwardly and offered his hand to Kurumi shyly.
"Y-Yeah, I'm Haru Soshirou. Third year." he mumbled, staring at her. "Wow, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen!" he exclaimed bluntly, taking a step closer.

Kurumi flinched as the boy bolted awake. A twinge of guilt and embarrassment fell over her. She had just woken up some boy in her dance class, and now she was interrupting this... well what was he doing?
"Y-Yeah, I'm Haru Soshirou. Third year. Wow, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen!"
Kurumi's turquoise eyes widened, and a smile stretched across her face, accompanied by a faint blush. "And you are the boldest boy I have ever met!" She didn't take a step away from Haru as he approaced her, "I've seen you in dance class. I'm also a third year." Kurumi smiled tucking a lock of hair behind her ear, and tilting her head.

Still smiling, completely awestruck, Haru just stared at her, examining her clean features and pink cheeks. He never thought he'd meet anyone more beautiful than his mother, but this girl definitely was.
"And you are the boldest boy I have ever met!" As close as Haru got, she didn't back away, or push at him like most other people would. "I've seen you in dance class. I'm also a third year."
He blushed, straightening up a bit. She'd... seen him dance? "I-I'm not very good," he stuttered. "But you're really good! Do you think you could teach me a few things?" he asked.
Suddenly, his expressions blanked. He blinked a few times, and dropped to his knees. "Kurumi, I think I'm allergic to you." he groaned, holding his stomach.

Kanata gave a small jump in her seat at the sudden greeting. She blinked and slowly looked at the girl that had appeared and then at the boy next to her. So they both were from Aozora? Both introduced themselves and seemed to already know each other mildly. Kanata couldn't but help agree with Haru that Kurumi was beautiful. Finally the power of speech came back to her. "Ah, I'm Kanata!" she suddenly yelled and blushed at the realization of how loud she was. She stared at Kurumi's long teal hair. It looked so silky and was an interesting colour that Kanata had never seen on a person before. She resisted the urge to run up and touch it. "Wow, so you're both third years?! And dancing majors too! I feel so left out! I'm a first year and a music major," she laughed. When Haru hit the ground Kanata crouched next to him. "Do you need some water? I think I have some....oh! And I have some aspirin too!" she said as she dug through her purse.

"I-I'm not very good, But you're really good! Do you think you could teach me a few things?"
Kurumi was a bit shocked, she had seen Haru dance before and he was great, "What? How could you say that? I've seen you dance. You're amazing. If anything you should teach me."
"Ah, I'm Kanata! Wow, so you're both third years?! And dancing majors too! I feel so left out! I'm a first year and a music major,"
Awwww Kurumi thought as the smaller girl stood up in her decked out animal attire. "Hi! It's nice to meet you. Don't feel left out, I was going to go into the music program, I love singing... but I needed to work on my dancing more."
That was when Haru hit the ground. Kurumi, knelt down next to him worried.
"Kurumi, I think I'm allergic to you."
"Wha--?! Allergic to me?! Can you be allergic to people?!" She turned to Kanata, "Do you know?! What should we do?" Causiously, she pushed back Haru's hair and touched his forehead. "Are you itchy where I just touched you?"

Haru just curled up on the ground, blocking out everything the two girls beside him said. It wasn't pain, or itching, or anything like that. It was strange. It wasn't a bad feeling, but it wasn't good at the same time. But it was new, and it terrified him.
"No, it doesn't hurt..." He winced. "But when I look at you for too long, my stomach starts to feel weird, like it's gonna explode."
He was able to stand again after a few seconds, but the second he looked again, the feeling returned. "What should I do?" he asked rhetorically, covering his eyes. "What's going on?"

Haru was really worrying her. One second he's being happy and talking to her, next he's on the ground writhing in...well was he in pain? "H-Haru?" She whispered, brushing his hair out of his face.
"No, it doesn't hurt... But when I look at you for too long, my stomach starts to feel weird, like it's gonna explode."
Kurumi was taken back, her teal eyes widening. She was causing all of...this? She followed Haru as he stood up, brushing off her knees. Kurumi wasn't the smartest person in the world, and well... the idea if this having anything to do with love didn't even cross her mind. They had just formally met! "I'm sorry... maybe I should go? I don't want you to feel sick around me."

Haru was standing a bit hunched over, eyes watering and limbs numb when he became fully aware of what was going on. He was finally able to sense the people around him, many of which were adults that probably thought he was acting. Still a bit out of it, he stood and pointed at a random girl, who was snickering along with her friends.
"You're lucky I'm just sick over a pretty girl and not some terrible disease, lady!" he screamed, his voice cracking.
A small timid voice came from behind him. "I'm sorry... maybe I should go? I don't want you to feel sick around me."
He turned around quickly and looked at her. "No, don't go!" he screamed, grabbing her wrist. Their eyes met, and he fought the dizziness. "I think I'd feel a lot worse if you left!"

"You're lucky I'm just sick over a pretty girl and not some terrible disease, lady!"
Under any other circumstance Kurumi would have laughed, but she was worried. Was she really making him that sick? Just as Kurumi was about to leave, a big hand grabbed her wrist.
"No, don't go! I think I'd feel a lot worse if you left!"
A light blush crossed her face, "Fine, then I won't leave." she smiled, "Maybe you can walk it off! Let's go look at the animals!" she turned her hand so she was the one grabbing his wrist and tugging him along. Her small fingers wrapped around his wrist and she turned to Kanata, "Kanata, you come too!"

Kanata shook her head. " No. I don't know," she replied to Kurumi. When Haru explained his pain a light bulb went off in Kanata's head. "I know that feeling! I get it when listening to my favorite music and eating good food!" She nodded her head wisely. "You shouldn't worry about it! It can be a nice feeling if you accept it."
People had been staring at Haru, some even laughing, and the ginger yelled at them. He then turned to Kurumi and told her not to leave which made her blush. She then grabbed both of the others' hands and started tugging them along.
Kanata was taken aback once more at the sudden change of events, but smiled nonetheless. "Alright! Where do you two want to go?" she asked happily. It was feeling nice to enjoy the zoo with new people.

Feeling a light blush cross his face, he flashed both girls a wide smile. Being swept away with two pretty girls wasn't what he was expecting from the day, but it was a nice surprise. It had been forever since he didn't feel completely left out of something, but so far, Kanata and Kurumi made him feel safe, and like he belonged.
"Alright! Where do you two want to go?" Kanata asked.
He looked at them both, and realizing how he towered over them, he leaned down a bit to speak with them. He pointed across at a large cage. "What's that?" he exclaimed, sounding like a small child. He grabbed their wrists. "Let's go!"

And right then, Kurumi was being pulled in every direction. First by Kanata, then by Haru. She giggled as they took their turns pulling her arms. She was expecting to go to the zoo alone and ended up with two companions.
Her long teal hair bounced behind her like a tail as Haru now led the way toward a huge crowd. "Where are we going!?" She yelled, her small legs trying to keep up with him, her other hand pulling down on her dress so it didn't blow up in the wind.
