Potential AU : University AU🖤🖤🖤

This is based on my 2 year knowledge of being in a US University. 

Aymeric

He is majoring in International Politics and Management, and captain of the college’s volleyball team. Aymeric is also the VIP customer of the tea spot in the campus and is the 

Aymeric is not in any kind of frats, but every year he gets plenty of invites to the party frats. Sororities loves him with all their heart because he’s pretty, kind AND smart.

Everyone believes him to be a mysterious, cool character that is infinitely a million times better than them. 

But as the part time tea shop barista knows that the amount of sugar that Aymeric consume is absurd and he once nearly spilled all his drink because he was trying to lean down to pet a stray cat. 

After you quit your job, he quickly tracks you down because it turns out that you’re the only person that could make his tea right and he needs your ‘Halone Bless hands to work for him.’

With you both spending so much time together and helping each other out, Lucia can only bet how much time will pass before he confess to you

Estinien

He’s part of crew, football, and volleyball with Aymeric. You will see him at every sporting event most likely playing for the college team. Estinien doesn’t have a sports scholarship, he actually has an Academic scholarship.

You don’t know what his degree is but the both of you keeps running into each other during the first week of the semester, and you hope with all your might that he doesn’t think that you’re a stalker. 

To make it worst your ‘friend’ sets the both of you on a double date with Aymeric and Estinien because they’re trying to see if they can get a shot with Aymeric while you distract ‘the scary guy.’ But it turns out that the both of you click really well in both humor and hobbies.

Estinien starts to stop for a short bit when you guys run into each other to have a small chat. Then it moves to small meetings over coffee or lunch, then meetings outside of the campus, during times where you think he should be busy but he makes time for you anyway. 

 Whenever anyone ask you if you’re dating him, you could never answer correctly because technically he never did ask you out. Simply lots of strategic meetings with lots of hand holding and conversations.

You had to ring him up later to make sure that you were dating each other

Thancred

You (his roommate) never see him in any of your core classes despite being in the same class, but for some reason always wake up to him stumbling home at 3am from a party on campus or across town. A few times with a lady in hand until you threaten to keep him locked out. 

Thancred will always cramp for his exams because he wants time to go out partying until he remembers that he has an exam the next morning at 7am. Then he’s gonna skip to the library or back to your shared room to beg for your help. You’ve never seen his results back but Thancred seems to have no problem partying it up the following night. 

The following semester with him wasn’t as bad, he started to hanging around the room more often, even bringing in his small group of friends to introduce you to them. 

He told you that he wanted to show you something. So Thancred drove you out of town into the countryside. As it starts to get dark he pulls you over to a meadow full wild flowers with a stream running through. There surrounded by fireflies, he ask you to be his

“I thought you were gonna kill me” *gasp* “You have that little faith in me?”

“Do you do this to all the girls you ask out?” *gasp* “This is my special place!”

G’raha Tia

He’s your college crypted, AKA sightings of him are far and few in between but coming across him is a surreal experience. Rumor has it that he is actually the campus ghost that died after being locked in the restricted section of the library. 

You first run into him sleeping in the farthest corner of the library, curled up in the chair right next to the giant window overlooking the walk way below. It was like finding Sleeping Beauty because “Oh, he’s kinda cute.”

He knows his way around the library strangely well, G’raha seems to know all the placements of the books that is not even registered in the library system yet. Really likes to drag you around to show off his knowledge because no one nicely asked before and he really wants to show off.

Also for some reason his school ID grants him access into the restricted sections. When you ask about the rumor, the red of his hair covers up his face and he looks away mumbling. Turns out he just feel asleep in the room and people thought he died. 

Just a few hours before his graduation, G’raha has asked you to meet him right where you’ve  first meet him. He sits on the open window sill in his graduation robes. The serious look on his face tells you that this is important news. 

Cid

Spends most of his time in the Engineering building or in the mechanics shop. He has a fully grown beard and gray hair so a lot of his students believe that he’s the professor. Actually he’s just the student teacher trying to get his mechanical engineering degree

You brought in your old car passed down from your family, hoping to see if you can get a student discount on repairs being made. 

Cid already lovestruck by the car, offers to do all the replacements and a full body work for free if you just let him work on the car

It turns out to be an old model car that he has been eyeing

You’re now stuck with a hot and sweat Cid giving you the puppy eyes for him to trick out and polish up your car. If you lose your composure to the gaze, then the rest of your day will be spent smelling like car oil and grease after a wet hug.

On the few days when he’s working on the car, you’re free to watch him work on the car. Bent over the hood and shirtless. Jess is done with you

Alphinaud

Politics major, he looks and is clearly younger than everyone with his attitude and no one can take him seriously when he’s asking around for room numbers. Who let this kid into the building??? He’s the person that would be wearing a suit to every class to try to look more mature. 

He still draws in his sketchbooks on days where he doesn’t have class and with his horrible sense of style, Alphinaud is almost unrecognizable. Hours later he makes the mistake of leaving it on a bench as he hurries to get ready for his next class. 

You found the sketchbook at your frequent lunch area, with no name and half the book filled with life-like drawings. A few of them were actually beautiful drawings of you. 

You did the only thing you could have done. Scanned and posted the pictures into social media and try to track the artist on the campus down. Hopefully get an explanation of the drawings. 

Alphinaud stars to panic the second he starts to see his sketches online because YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO SEE THAT. Because you got the ball rolling, and news travel fast. By the time the sketchbook was back in his arms, he’s gotten multiple art job offers. 

As much as he appreciates it, he much rather do it without being outed for his crush on you

Haurchefant

He’s the brightest person in the room the second you walk in, like pretty much glowing. Haurchefant is quick to introduce himself and start chatting with reckless abandon until class starts. Even then he might fling a few notes your way

The best friend that you want to have in your college life because he is totally chill with just hanging around in your room or heading to a party down the block. But he always makes sure that your sleep schedule is in order, and you’re getting the right amount of exercise and decent food. 

With how handsy he gets, everyone is quick to assume that the both of you are a couple and as soon as you officially become one, you’ve realize how comfortable being around him is. 

Your both seen always hugging each other after he walks you to class. Even holding your hands when your fingers start to grow cold. Sometimes he’ll cook your food when you’re not feed all that well. 

People start to point out how much lopsided the relationship looks, with him acting like your nanny or a lost puppy following you around. It starts to boil a doubt inside you. Perhaps you’ve been using him all this time. 

Hien

Foreign exchange student that sits in the back of the classroom because it’s the only place he can be without obstructing everyone’s view with his body and hair. 

Everyone is speculating if he has a girl at home or not, and anyone who is friends with him is very vague about the answer. The rumors start to spring up that he’s actually in an arranged marriage and he’s doing the exchange to try to avoid the wedding. 

While he isn’t fond of talking about his home situation, he loves to answer your questions about his home in general. Expertly weaving together details. One thing to be amazed by is that he’s so well spoken in a language that isn’t his own. But Hien proves in presentations and in paper that he is as comfortable in this language as his own. 

Hien likes to track you down and spend time with you outside of class if he can, it’s one of the best ways to avoid getting girls and spend time with someone who can get him familiar with the area.

After all the finals are done, he ask you for one last favor. To meet his parents and for him to meet yours. For what? He would like your hand in marriage.
