Meet Cute

{if Meek = true}(Meek) One day, you witnessed her crying in front of the building. Someone had stolen her panties and sent pictures of them around the class. Something about her tear-soaked face touched you that day. For the first time, the fear of being judged by your other classmates seemed smaller than your need to help Kaori. Maybe, if it was for someone else’s sake…you could actually be strong? Maybe you could let down your barrier…at least for her.{endif}{if Meek = false} One day, you witnessed her crying in front of the building. Someone had stolen her panties and sent pictures of them around the class. Something about her tear-soaked face touched you that day. How could they have done such a thing to her?{if Normal = True}

(Normal) You’d always thought Kaori was incredible. Her passion was what made her such a target for bullies, but it also gave her an enviable, vibrant energy. You wished you felt half as much excitement about anything as Kaori seemed to find in the smallest of things. It made her special, precious even.{endif}{if Romantic = True}

(Romantic) Didn’t they realize that they had an angel in their midst? She was a soft, sweet girl who just wanted to be appreciated for who she was. The sort of girl who wouldn’t hurt a fly. She was something precious, in need of protection. Seeing her there even made you feel guilty. How come you weren’t doing more to help this truly special person?{endif}{endif}

To cheer her up, you sat beside her and outed yourself as a fellow nerd. You revealed that you shared many of her lame hobbies like anime and comics. You will always remember that look of realization on her face when she first discovered she wasn’t alone. From there, you talked together late into the night. She even showed you a few episodes of one of her favorite anime, a show named “My Hero Acadamia”.

After that, you were inseparable. She visited your house daily after class, showing off her latest obsession or just spending time with you. Meanwhile, at school, you adopted a role as her “protector”. Her knight in shining armor. You ensured that she was on her own as little as possible, and if you saw someone picking on her you made a point of rushing over to put a stop to it. Two people were exponentially harder to push around then one.
