Shadow Cursed
Nicolai could feel the girl's tension running though her body by the hand he had on her shoulder. Despite this though, she was leaning in closer and closer. As she grew closer still there was a pounding that was louder than anything he'd heard until that point in his life? Was it her heartbeat? His own? Nicolai couldn't tell anymore. She was so close, he could nearly feel her breath against his skin. Instinctively, he reached up towards her face despite not having an answer, and then felt her pull back. "I'm sorry. I just.....I need a minute." Those words, those eight simple words reminded Nicolai of the harshness of reality. In an instance the girl that had filled him with a sudden surge of passion was gone, left only with an empty longing to just hear her voice once again.
I screwed up. The thought ran through Nicolai's mind on repeat for a solid few seconds as he just stood there lost and now feeling something worse than he could've ever imagined. Didn't Sun mention something about a black thread meaning the connection had been severed? Is that the thread color we have? For the first time in his entire life, Nicolai cursed his blindness. He wanted so badly to just see his thread, to maybe alleviate some of the anxiety building up inside him. Damn my horrid luck! He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white and he could feel his nails digging into his flesh enough to leave marks. He needed an outlet and he needed it right then and there.
"You can touch my face it you want. If that helps." Nicolai turned to Karube, whom he hadn't even realized had come outside. "Thanks for the offer." Nicolai put on a brave face and his best smile. He couldn't let someone see him being weak like this. "But I think I'm just going to go back to my room." He got the words out quickly and started making his way back to the dorm. Yes, he'd forgotten his walking stick on the ground, but he could just get the spare out of his bag and find it later. Nicolai wanted anything but to be at that spot at that moment.
As he managed to get back to the entrance from memory of his walk out, Nicolai was nearly run over by a mammoth of a person. The blind boy spinning as the other, likely, male ran out. Nicolai normally would've chewed the presumably male out for his rude behavior, but he didn't care right then. However, the second collision with a person caused Nicolai to fall to ground. His body splaying out in the spread eagle as he lay there. His imagination began to run wild on what his soulmate's face had looked like when she was so close. Was she disgusted? Did she think it was some kind of sick joke to be paired with the blind guy? Maybe her leaning in close had been just to prove he was blind? The sudden rush of insecurities and unknowns that had never plagued him before came crashing down in a single monstrous and vile thought. "Why was I born this way?" Nicolai regretted asking that question as he laid there. A single tear rolling down his cheek and onto the cold tile beneath him.

Shane looked to the girl and nodded as she reacted to his hug. "Sorry. Hugging has kind of become a cure-all for me. Whenever I feel down about anything, a hug just makes it feel better. So I figured that was normal for people. Guess not." He chuckled lightly while scratching the back of his head. "So, I'll do my best to respect your wishes. Or at least I'll ask if I can hug you before going ahead." He looked her in the eyes and smiled. "But the key thing to remember is I'm going to TRY. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to succee-" The sound of metal being ripped and pried caused Shane to turn around.
A monstrously large male was breaking into the girl's dormitory. Is he mad? He's going to get himself suspended on the first day for destruction of school property! Shane looked distressed as he moved himself between Julia and the male, watching him disappear inside the dorms. "Well.......that was interesting." He chuckled softly before turning back to Julia. "I think it's best we get you to your room quickly. Lest things turn more sour." He motioned towards the door with a clearly forced smile.
