/The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down.
I st-st-stutter
when you ask me
what I'm thinkin bout./
-See You Again. Miley Cyrus.
It was a rather unorthodox way to meet somebody, Ryo would later recall. He stared down at the top of the girl's head, wondering if maybe he was supposed to be hugging her back, or something. He didn't think he knew the cranberry-haired female, but he had been mistaken before.
The girl's hands moved slightly and she drew back to look up at him curiously. Grey eyes widened considerably as she let out a shriek and quickly removed herself from his person. Ryo had half a mind to pull her back, but he steadily squashed that particular notion.
"Oh my God!" She stammered, and suddenly Ryo was very thankful for English class. "I am SO sorry!" The girl paused, before blushing deeply. "Oh shit. How do you say "sorry" in Japanese? Uh..." Her face screwed up in concentration as she bowed slightly. "Goh-mein niss-eye."
"Acually, it's Gomennaisai," Ryo corrected. "But it's quite alright." Relief was clearly visible on the girl's face as she stepped back toward him, taking his hands.
"You speak English!" She exclaimed, looking like she might cry from joy. "I love you! Will you marry me?"
Ryo stared at the girl for a beat. "What?"
"S-sorry..." she stuttered the word, almost fudging the pronunciation again, as she blushed again. "I was just really excited..and I...I'll just be going now..." She started to back away and ran into someone. "Ah! Sorry!" By now the girl was beginning to resemble a tomato.
"It's ok," Ryo called after her. "I'm used to it!" A pang of sadness went through him as he remembered how Fubuki used to surprise tackle him all the time before his disappearance.
She smiled and threw him a wave, calling "See you later!" over her shoulder as she ran away. Ryo watched her go with a small smile, and tried to recreate the warm feeling he had gotten in the five seconds of contact before she had realized she was hugging the wrong person.
(It's different when a girl does it though,) he mused, before turning and continuing down the hall.
