Wardington Fine Arts College
Entry #1:
The light breeze coming from the window should be enough to calm Dan Kuso enough, but it only helped him get even more frustrated than before. With a strangled yell he threw his 5B pencil to the ground in desperation. The brunette wanted to strangle himself, why wasn't any idea popping up in his head?!
He was currently at the Art Room of the Wardington Fine Arts University and he could feel desperation boiling up in his veins. The boy looked around in the room as if trying to find something that could inspire him to finish his goddamn assignment. It had been months since his last good piece at the Human Form class of Professor Drago. The man had noticed his slump all right and just because they were on good terms the brunette wasn't failing the damn class.
Bottles of paint, brushes, different kinds of papers, where littered all around the room but nothing was enough for him to get a spark of inspiration. The brunette pouted as he looked back at the white sheet of paper hung up in front of him. He hoped that going into the Art Room would give him enough enlightenment to give Professor Drago something worthy of a college student in the Art Major. But nothing came to mind.
The boy threw up his hands in the air and stood up from his stool, starting to pace around the room. There had to be something to make him inspired enough. He started scratching his head as he looked outside the big open window. He was currently at the second floor of the university and it was pretty high up for his liking, but he needed to find something.
"I just need something to draw!" He shouted out to the void, not caring if the people down below heard him "Please just give a signal! Something!" He was really desperate now if he was shouting out to the sky. Dan was panting now, glaring at the sky up from him. Damn that thick head of his.
He slouched at the edge of the window, elbow propped up and supporting his right cheek. The boy looked down at the carefree students. They looked all so peaceful, everyone on their tiny little world, not caring about a thing. He felt jealous of them. Before he could even turn to his blank page a dazzling sight distracted him.
His eyes widened slightly as he looked at the beauty walking across the lawn. The girl looked no older than twenty, with long blue hair tied up in a neat ponytail, and a slim body. She was wearing a pair of black yoga pants and a bright yellow loose shirt. She was on her own little world, not noticing the dumbstruck idiot looking down at her. The girl had a brown bag slung over her shoulder, a pair of ballet slippers hanging from the hem.
Dan felt the stars align in front of him. As if a signal was instantly being pointed at him. But he couldn't move. His mouth was agape but his legs weren't moving. Until he saw the beautiful girl walking away from the Art Department did he snap out of his trance. He would have to thank the sky later.
"WAIT!" The boy shouted at the top of his lungs but the girl didn't even seem to notice his voice. Without hesitating, the boy sprinted out of the Art Room and dashed in the direction the girl was heading. The halls were quite empty, which made it easier for him to move from one side to the other. He jumped the stairs as fast as he could, trying not to loose his breath. Dan slammed the main doors open, making a few heads turn in his direction, but his reddish eyes were frantically searching for the blunette beauty.
A flash of light blue appeared on his vision, and he could see the girl a couple of miles away, heading straight for the Dancing Department. Not wasting his time, the boy broke in another sprint, towards her. The girl had his back to him, and he could feel a red blush covering his cheeks at her sight. He sounded like a romantic idiot.
"HEY!" He shouted to her once again, but the girl was either ignoring him or completely oblivious. The boy frowned in frustration. 'Oh to hell with it!' Once he was close enough to the girl, he basically took hold of her shoulder and spun her around; only to receive a punch in the nose. He fell to the ground with a groan, holding up his damaged nostrils.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry! I though you were someone else!" The girl's voice was laced with worry as she knelt down right next to him, taking off her earphones in the process. He was still on the ground clutching to his nose, but damn was he on cloud nine. The girl in front of him had dazzling cerulean eyes, soft porcelain skin and her voice sounded just like a melody "I'm so sorry! What can I do to repay you back?"
Dan could still feel a throbbing sensation coming from his nose, but he managed to sit up and kneel before her. The girl's eyes widened as he took hold of her right hand and stared deep into her eyes. He must've looked ridiculous but he ignored it and just focused on her. Her bangs adorned her face and he could see a light blush dusting her cheeks as she waited for him to speak.
"Please be my muse" He voiced out with no doubt in his mind and he expected another punch to his eyes, but nothing as such came to be. The girl had a confused look on her face, but still didn't move from her place "I'm an Art Major and I've been in a slump for months now. I need a good piece for my Human Form class but I still haven't been able to produce something good" His cheeks were now dusted with red as he continued to explain his situation to the blunette "I have a feeling I can make something good if you're my model. Please just let me sketch you, I promise I won't take much of your time, nor it will be uncomfortable of any sort. Please"
The girl was still looking at him with wide eyes, but she didn't seem convinced at the idea. She looked down, surely debating about the idea. Dan gripped onto her hand a little bit tighter. He would need to persuade her even more to say 'yes'. And he was sure that he wouldn't take a 'no' for an answer.
"I suppose I could help you some days" She muttered to him, eyes still not looking at him "I mean I did punch you in the nose as an accident so if this is how I can pay you back, I wouldn't mind as much" The girl was embarrassed for sure, but Dan could see a small smile making way onto her lips. He couldn't help a wild grin appearing on his lips.
"Oh thank you! Thank you so much!" He was really tempted to pull her into a hug, but opted for just shaking her hand vigorously. Dan really hoped that they wouldn't just get together for sketching. He was really interested in getting to know her "The name's Dan Kuso and I'm an Art Major!"
"I'm Runo Misaki and I'm a Dancing Major" Runo finally looked up to him a more calm smile over her face. Then a faint ring-tone could be heard from her bag. Dan could heard it was the song 'Mr. Brightside' by The Killers and he was sure he wanted to talk to her more "Oh shoot!" She said taking out her cellphone, in the process letting go from his hand and answering the call "Hey Fabia! Yes I'm just on my way to the theatre! Tell Mrs. Tigrerra that I'll be there in a flash don't worry!"
The girl quickly hung up the call and cursed to herself, as she took out a small piece of paper and a pen. She scribbled on it quite quickly and shoved it into his hands. Dan was quite surprised as the girl quickly dusted herself off and stood up from her position.
"Give me a call when you need help! I have to go to a ballet practice but I'll help you out! Bye Dan" And with a wave of goodbye, Runo was running across the field towards the Wardington University Theatre. The boy watched her leave, still dazzled by her and her whole presence. His heart was doing summersaults all throughout his body and he could feel a thousand butterflies swarming at his stomach. A warm fuzzy feeling was spreading all over his body and he could only look at the number scribbled on the paper and a little message left behind by the blunette.
Sorry for the punch! Give a call when you need help!
- Runo M.
Dan read the message over and over, not caring for the weird stares some of the students were giving him. A bright smile made way to his face as he quickly took out his cellphone and messaged the blunette right away.
Don't worry about it kid! Tell me the days you're available and I'll be there. Thanks again for your help! Hope the ballet practice goes well!
- Dan K.
It was safe to say that he got a reply just five minutes after he sent it.
Prompt #1: - I've been in a slump for months but then I saw you walk across the street and I've never ran down the stairs and jaywalked so fast in my life, please be my muse
HEY GUYS! So a while back I got this idea while I looked for prompts in tumblr and I stumbled upon some pretty great ones haha so I decided to do a compilation of one-shots revolving of course around the Bakugan characters and involving them in the story. The one-shots will not be about the same characters but they are connected through the same story. I suppose it has a storyline to follow but they are mostly fun to write haha
I won't be updating this one as much as I would, with all of the other stories I don't think I have that much time, but I'll try to find time for it. So anyways, I hope you like the one-shot, like always if you have any comment or question you can either review or PM me! Have a great week!
