once again, ty
*fades away*
hahaha nice seeing you again, I haven't done au in a long while but I'm excited to give this one a shot
(For this modern! AU. Rozerin is a college student along with you btw)
I'm trying my best to reign in on the length of my writing and keep things short and sweet so let's hope I can keep to that.
Rozerîn was someone you rarely saw around campus, partially due to how busy she was- volunteering in her free time, studying when she needed to, and participating in all her club activities scheduled throughout the week.
It also didn't help that the two of you majored in different areas.
Nevertheless, she always made the effort to meet up with you on Saturdays like this- utilizing the time you two had together to reconnect; catch up.
Sadly, there would be little time for eating sweets over tea today- as the due date for your humanities paper had suddenly crept up on you.
"I should recommend you my scheduling app," Rozerîn mused, entering the library's study room and shutting the door behind her with a soft click, "How far along are you now?"
She did you a mercy by ignoring the eyebags formed on your face, especially since it was a normal occurrence among college students anyway.
You sigh, rubbing your eyes as if brute force alone could wipe the weariness from your face- the intoxicating scent of coffee filling your little prison cell. "Not nearly far enough. Ugh. These core classes are killing me, Rosie- killing me."
She has the decency to look away and hide her amusement at your predicament before sitting across from you- pulling your textbooks over to her side of the table.
"Here, let me see what you're working on," Rozerîn offered, taking a look at the assignment you had forgotten about.
While she busied herself with catching up on the dire situation at hand, you helped yourself to the stiff cardboard tray of drinks she had brought.
Tea, coffee- iced and cold options too.
There was a sweet scent in the air as well, did she get the two of you pastries?
Selecting your choice of drink you took a small sip, sampling the flavor. "Rozerîn, don't get me wrong-" You begin, turning the cup in your hand around and inspecting it while she read. "I always appreciate everything and anything you do but I have to ask, why'd you get so much?"
Did she really expect the two of you to be here all day?
She scrunched up her face at the question, a small bit of color dusting her cheeks- keeping her eyes trained on the work in front of her.
"You didn't tell me what you wanted when I was at the coffee shop, so I grabbed a little bit of everything."
Raising an eyebrow at her words, you check your phone.
A single text notification.
Dang.
"Sorry about that, here," You put down your drink and go rifling for some money, holding out some bills to your study partner who was giving you an indiscernible look. "Let me pay."
"Nonsense," Rozerîn shook her head, pushing the money back at you with a smile. "You can pay me back by getting this work done."
You relented, knowing that Rozerîn's case was a special one. She had gotten into university on the back of a small army of scholarships- so many that she was practically being paid to go to school at this point.
Taking your work back from your study partner, you noticed the small changes and notes already marked on your work. Unsurprisingly, it seemed that Rosie was well-versed in your coursework.
"Did you take this class?" You ask curiously, eyes flipping to your laptop to finalize the recommended edits. Humanities was a core course everyone had to take, yes, but most of the brightest students always had some high school course or two to waive the requirement altogether.
Rozerîn shook her head, taking her own drink from the nearby tray- her free hand raiding her bag for the pastries she was hiding out of your reach. "Not this particular class, but I've taken quite a few of the courses they offer here."
"Making the most of your scholarship?" You joke, happily taking a treat when Rosie offers up a large brown bag at you. "Didn't think you were interested in those courses."
"It may not be my major," Rozerîn hummed, taking another drawn-out sip from her drink. "But I find those courses to be equally fascinating as they are important."
You look up from your laptop, biting down on your lip to keep from smiling.
That storm-grey look of hers shone with a familiar light behind them- a light that seemed to only appear when she spoke of the things that she was passionate about.
"What do you mean?" You ask innocently- though it was mostly to keep her talking, to catch a glimpse of the stars that glowed behind the clouds of grey in her eyes.
"Philosophy, art history, literature analysis- it's so easy to overlook the importance of these classes because there's no studies or 'evidence' to back them in the same way the sciences and math courses do."
You nod, typing up some notes for your paper while Rozerîn takes a tiny nibble of her pastry- a hand lightly smacking the desk as she continues.
"But without those courses, how can someone truly understand other people- past or present? You'd never be able to understand the human condition reflected in the art and writing of the past. You'd never be able to connect with other people; empathize with them, if you have little understanding of their values- both religion and philosophy fundamental in that."
By now you had stopped your typing, instead training your gaze onto her sharp features as Rozerîn crossed her arms- her gaze distant.
"I love science- adore it, but science without humanity is cruel. Reason- logic without compassion; heartless."
Her body froze, Rozerîn realizing just that she had been ranting, and if you were to bet on it- your gaze on her was not helping.
"Sorry!" she blurted, hiding her dark red face behind a curtain of black hair. "I got carried away."
Her meek voice squeezed your heart, your hand reaching for hers without hesitation- lacing your fingers together.
"Don't be, honestly, I love it." You admit, watching with amusement as Rozerîn covered her lips with her free hand in an attempt to hide her smile from the world.
From you.
"Is...is that so?" she breathes, unable to hide the joy in her voice as easily as she did her smile- the squeeze you gave her hand drawing her back to you.
"Of course," You nod in earnest, her reaction to the praise bringing out a bolder side of yourself. "Sometimes you amaze me if I'm going to be honest—I mean you always do."
"Flatter." her accusatory tone was light, the small attempt to swat at your words falling upon deaf ears.
"You just have such intuition and a real wisdom about most things. I like understanding the way you see the world."
It was a beautiful way to see it.
Rozerîn was at her limit now, pulling back her hand so she could hide behind both at once- head shaking at the barrage of sincere praise she was suddenly receiving.
"Enough, spare my poor heart" Now it was her turn to groan- the poor student hunched over in her seat. "Let's just... go back to your work."
So cute.
Turning your attention back to your paper was a struggle of self-control, but one you won out in the end. You had a lot more ideas to work with now, thanks to Rozerîn and even if you were to hit a wall, you knew she'd be there to help guide you out of it.
She'd just need some time to recover first.
