Tuesday, 4th of August
It wasn't particularly warm on that specific Tuesday in Copenhagen. Autumn was threatening its return again, and even Lukas wasn't quite ready to let go of this surprisingly warm summer in Denmark. It was just passing 3 years of him attending this university. It was far from his home in Bergen, very far. But this university was everything he ever wanted, and his mother wanted him to chase his dreams. So he went ahead with it.
That was 3 years ago.
Now, with one-year left to do his teaching course, Lukas Bondevik wanted the hell out of Copenhagen.
Don't get it wrong. Copenhagen was great. For a year or so.
And now it's just the same people, the same sights, the same food, the same house, and the same language. Everything stayed the same.
It was unbelievably boring to Lukas.
A lot of things were to him. He blamed it on everything being the same. In reality, it was just his personality, and how he acted. He just had this resting bored face. And he couldn't really help that.
He didn't actually have many friends. He had his younger brother, Emil, who was still in high school, and Tino, a music student who occasionally came up if he had headaches.
Other than that, Lukas didn't really have much of a social life. He spent a lot of his time doing art and posting it on his Tumblr blog. He got a lot of good feedback, which boosted his self-confidence, even though he was an introvert who lived under a blanket in Copenhagen, living off of ready meals and extremely caffeinated coffee. Not that he wished it any other way. He was just bored out of his mind.
Finishing off his last brush strokes of paint for that day, Lukas sighed and went to clean his brushes. He heard the door click open and listened to the familiar voice belonging to Tino.
"I'm so tired, I cannot believe how many classes I had today." The small, young-looking 20-year-old groaned out, sitting down on a chair in the empty class. He was wearing a jumper that was clearly was too big for him, as it passed his mid-thigh. That usually meant one thing.
"Stayed over at the boyfriend's place again?" Lukas turned to watch him as he washed the paint out of his brushes.
"Yeah, but then he had some friends over for ages to watch sports or something, they were cheering and drinking beer or something. I got bored and went out to see Toris but he was busy with his girl-boy-girl-boyfriend? I don't know. They're new around here, and he's 'showing them around', but I personally think he likes them. So when I got back, Matthias-."
"Matthias?" Lukas questioned, interested. That name hadn't popped up before, and he was curious to know whom this mysterious 'Matthias' was.
"Matthias? He comes from here. Ber met him when he first moved here, a few years back. He's known him longer than I have. He's pretty nice looking, I could introduce you?" Tino suggested. He knew how lonely he was, and would like for him to actually meet someone.
"You know I don't do romances. Sorry Tino." Lukas just simply shrugged and turned back to his washing.
The small one simply sighed.
"You'll probably see him around anyway. He always wears the same camera around his neck. And his hair is practically unmistakable," He shrugged and stood up, "I'll get back to class now. See you Lukas."
"Goodbye, Tino."
Lukas watched the other leave the art room and waited until the door clicked shut to sigh. He probably should've just met Matthias to please his friend, right? He didn't know. He knew that Tino knew that he was pretty lonely and the poor guy just wanted him to meet someone who might've even been good for him.
Who knows?
He wouldn't now.
And even though Lukas never really cared for small issues, this bugged him more than usual.
