Accidentally Yours Episode -3 Totally an accident (Not really)

Episode -3 Totally an accident (Not really)

University art studio, first day of the semester.

Noah is setting up his sketchpad at a corner table, earbuds in, ready to avoid human interaction.

Julian(ML)

Hey stranger 😏

Noah(ML)

No.

Noah(ML)

No no no

Noah(ML)

What the hell are you doing here?

Julian(ML)

Enrolling in my... totally random elective.

Julian(ML)

What a coincidence.

Noah(ML)

Coincidence my ass.

Noah(ML)

What's your major again? Business?

Julian(ML)

Yeah

Julian(ML)

Business of... art appreciation

Noah(ML)

There's no way that's a real thing.

Julian(ML)

It is now.

Julian(ML)

I'm a visionary.

Julian plops into the seat right next to him even though there are plenty of other chairs. He smells faintly of rain and coffee.

Noah(ML)

Sit somewhere else.

Julian(ML)

Can't.

Julian(ML)

Assigned seating.

Noah(ML)

Liar.

Julian(ML)

Okay, fine.

Julian(ML)

But come on. I make a good company.

Noah(ML)

You make noise.

Julian(ML)

And yet...you still let me sit here.

Julian(ML)

Almost like you want me around.

The professor starts explaining the class project, life drawing, sketching human figures, lots of close observation.

Julian(ML)

So...

Julian(ML)

When do we draw each other?😏

Noah(ML)

We're not.

Julian(ML)

C'mon.

Julian(ML)

I'd make a great model.

Julian(ML)

Strong jawline. Excellent shoulder. Very cooperative.

Noah(ML)

I'd rather sketch a chair.

Julian(ML)

Ouch.

Julian(ML)

And here I was, thinking I'd pose shirtless to inspire your creative genius.

Noah(ML)

...

Noah(ML)

Stop talking.

Later the professor pairs people up for warm-up sketches.

Professor

Julian, you're with...Noah.

Noah(ML)

You've got to be kidding me.

Julian(ML)

Fate.

Julian(ML)

Pure fate.

They moved their chairs so they're facing each other.

Julian(ML)

*he grins, leaning forward*

Julian(ML)

So...how long do I have to sit still?

Noah(ML)

As long as it takes me to regret my life choices.

Julian(ML)

That will be quick.

Noah(ML)

*he starts sketching, trying not to make eye contact*

Julian(ML)

*he stays still for exactly 10 seconds before speaking again*

Julian(ML)

You're staring at my mouth.

Noah(ML)

I'm sketching.

Julian(ML)

Uh-huh.

Julian(ML)

Pretty sure I saw your eyes drop lower.

Noah(ML)

Do you want me to quit this class?

Julian(ML)

Nope.

Julian(ML)

I want you to finish the sketch.

Julian(ML)

And maybe...buy me dinner after.

Noah(ML)

Not happening.

Julian(ML)

Yet.

To be continued.
