Inspired by: Honey is too nervous to approach Tadashi, and only admires them from afar.
It wasn't long before Honey found herself in a lecture hall with Tadashi. She sat right in the middle of the room so that she could get the full view of the large screen at the front of the classroom. She had arrived early and sat by herself, completely focused on getting her computer ready to type up notes, when she heard her name called from across the lecture hall.
"Honey Lemon!"
She looked up and saw Tadashi waving at her with an inviting smile. He gestured for her to come sit by him and his eclectic-looking group of friends. She smiled apologetically and waved her hand nonchalantly, deciding to sit by herself. He shrugged, sitting down and getting his laptop ready to take notes.
Honey's smile faded away as she watched him and his friends talk and laugh together. She was just too shy…and it wasn't like she really knew this guy, anyway. She would be fine sitting by herself for now…maybe.
The lecture started. As interesting as the professor was, Honey's eyes and mind kept wandering over toward Tadashi. He was constantly smiling and chatting quietly with his friends, yet somehow managing to diligently take notes. Tadashi caught Honey's eyes one time and smiled, but she quickly turned away and put her head down in her notes, blushing madly.
At the end of the two hour lecture, she packed up her things as quickly as possible and rushed out of lecture hall, wishing to save herself from embarrassment. "Honey Lemon!" she heard him call again. She kept walking, unable to fight back her nervousness at meeting him and his friends.
Two days later, she was back in the same lecture hall, once again trying to avoid a possibly harmless Tadashi. She managed to hide well enough from his eyes when he tried to find her, allowing her to sit by herself again. About halfway through the lecture, he was still searching for her face in the crowd, concern in his eyes. Their eyes met for a split second before she looked away, her cheeks hot.
They seemed to have this game of hide-and-seek for all the other three lectures of the five-part series. Honey had never felt so relieved when the final lecture was over, and she could go back to having no more anxiety about the chance of running into him. She had just reached the door when she was tapped on the shoulder. She turned around and froze, heart racing when she saw Tadashi smiling at her with his friends behind her.
"Honey Lemon! Glad I finally caught you- we were just heading back to my house to watch a movie. Wanna join?" he asked with that large smile of his.
"Yeah, it's gonna be so awesome! We're watching that new horror movie that just came out!" a boy with a green beanie shouted excitedly.
"Uh, I thought we decided against that?" the dark skinned guy cut in, crossing his arms in disapproval.
"Yeah, you guys said we were watching Captain America," a short girl with short purple and black hair said in a no-nonsense tone.
Tadashi rolled his eyes fondly at the group, as if all of them disagreeing was normal. "We'll decide when we get there, alright?" He turned back to Honey. "So, you coming?"
"I-I, um," she stuttered. "…sure?"
