[It's very awkward, but Rock Lee has no other option. He has undergone that trial of youth known as the 'sexile', and no one else on the floor will let him in. There is only one door left to try, and he's nervous about imposing on this acquaintance of his, especially in this manner.

Still, he makes his way to her door anyway, tugging a small green pillow and a green blanket in tow. And then he knocks firmly on it.]

[ rapunzel's up late studying - again - for her european art history class. it's incredibly frustrating - she loves art, she really does, but memorizing all the names and dates that go along with it is...not her favorite thing. she's been pulling late nights to prepare for her upcoming midterm.

she certainly isn't expecting any visitors, so at first, the door goes ignored by her. but the rest of her roommates are out at a party, so after a moment she rises from her desk and heads to answer the door. ]

Oh! Hi, Lee. [ she smiles at him in her friendly way, but then she notices his blanket and pillow. ] Um...is everything okay?

R-Rapunzel-san! [He greets her with a nervous smile. Is this really alright?]

Ah... aha... Um, I apologize for bothering you! I... am not sure of the best way to... describe this situation...

[ she glances back into her apartment for a moment, at her desk, where her text book sits waiting.

but she's never one to turn people away when they're in need, so she steps aside to let him in. ]

Please, come in. I can get a pot of tea going and you can tell me what's going on. Do you like tea?

[He sheepishly shuffles in, as if stepping foot onto an alien world, where any false move could mean utter destruction.]

I- I love tea! You do not have to go out of your way for me... It is so generous of you!

It's no problem at all! I was just about to brew some for myself, anyway.

[ this is, in fact, true. she needed it to calm her nerves. she steps into the kitchen, which is the same room as the living room because this is a dorm and the whole thing is basically 10 square feet. ] Any preferences?

Edited 2015-03-11 05:20 (UTC)

I see. It is still very nice.

[He doesn't know what to do; he just... stands awkwardly there with his blanket and pillow in hand.]

Ah... I have no preference at all! Please surprise me!

Alright, then.

[ surprise it is! but it will be green tea. rapunzel busies herself with prepping the kettle before returning to the living room area. ]

Please, sit. [ she sits on the couch herself. ]

Um.... Y-yes! Sure! I will do so!

[He then stiffly and awkwardly plops himself on the couch, clutching his items tightly.]

The interior is very... delightful!

Um, thanks! [ it's not much, really, though rapunzel regularly fixed up the place with fresh flowers and her artwork. ] I try to keep it a little less...dormy, if you know what I mean.

[He does glance around, delighted by the flowers and art.]

I see! If I ranked you on that idea, I would say that you are... Very successful! [He still hasn't gotten himself to say why he's here.]

Thank you! [ she's still smiling earnestly, but yeah bro, she'd like to know why he's here. ]

So...what brings you here? Is something the matter?

Er... It is not an emergency, but I am in here because... ah, I suppose that you could say I am in a bit of a pinch.

Oh? Did something happen to your room? [ lbr these dorms are like cardboard boxes. she wouldn't be entirely surprised if a wall fell in or something like that. ]

Er... something of the sort. [He looks embarrassed.] Tonight, my roommate is to use it... ah... with his girlfriend..

[ she brightens. ]

Oh, did he make her dinner? That's so sweet!

[ yes, even in this au continuity, rapunzel is a sweet summer child. ]

A-ah...! [Rock Lee's sweet summer child died when he accidentally walked in on their last "dinner".] Yes... but even more than that! Dinner... a movie... a sleepover of romance...!

[ she nods, as if she totally understands the situation now (she doesn't). ]

Of course! So you need a place to stay because you're letting her sleep on your bed. That's so thoughtful of you!

[...You know what, close enough HE WILL PRESERVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL INNOCENCE

He nods very quickly.]

Thank you! Y-yes! Of course... that is the exact situation! Ah... I do not mean to impose on you, however! If this is not acceptable, I can find somewhere else...

[ aww, that's so sweet. :'| ]

No no, that's perfectly fine! my roommates won't be back until later...much later. So you more than welcome to stay on the couch.

Ah... [His expression brightens up.] Thank you so much, Rapunzel-san! I will be the most unobtrusive guest you've ever had here! I promise!

[He leaps to his feet to affirm his declaration... and accidentally knocks a lamp over a table as he does so.

He immediately lunges to catch the lamp and ends up barrel rolling along the ground with the lamp clutched between his arms like it's a child beingrescued from certain doom.]

[ rock lee runs for the pass, he's open, he's got the lamp in his hands -

FUMBLEEEEEEEE

rapunzel gasps, but when she realizes he's not hurt, she snorts with laughter. ]

Wow! What an impressive save!

[Close enough. He's pretty much frozen in place for the moment with the lamp in his hand, and his face flushes lightly in embarrassment.]

Th-thank you! I apologize for nearly destroying your lamp...

That's okay! I never liked that lamp much, anyways. [ she much prefers natural light.

she stoops down and scoops the lamp out of his hands to place it back on the side table, her fingers brushing just lightly over his. ]

[As the fingers bristle together, it feels like the dancing of butterflies trickling up his arm from his fingertips, and he smiles with a light brush.]

R-really? Ah... I suppose that it is not the best. [And then he quietly goes to pull himself to his feet.]

I agree with your judgement completely!!

[ this is a superhuman type college where bending is allowed okay just don't think too hard on the logistics of two avatars existing at once it's just one of those strange wrinkles in the multiverse.

basically it's a meme let's do what we want.

and that is to say korra's the waterbender on the college's probending team and she's -- well, she's the only member. trying to find an earthbender and a firebender isn't exactly that easy. everyone else likes other forms of bending sports.

so here's korra, sitting frustratedly on a building stairwell, a table and sign next to her that reads: "JOIN THE SCHOOL'S BEARDOG PROBENDING TEAM, ENJOY THE RUSH OF COMPETITION". ... she.... she hasn't gotten any biters yet. ]

[ truth be told, wan is...sorta maybe marginally interested in probending. but his roommates, a bunch of thick - in all senses of the word - earthbenders, think it's a complete joke. and wan just hasn't been invested enough to tell them off. whatever. organized sports aren't really his thing, anyway.

even still, he spots the school's probending team captain - or at least, he assumes she's the captain since she's the only member - sitting by herself at her booth. she doesn't look too happy about her prospects, of which he can see none.

well...what harm could it do just to stop by? he's not going to sign up or anything. just, you know, give her some support. ]

Hey. Slow day, huh?

(it's been a rough first couple of weeks of working on baymax. there's been power outages, painful malfunctions involving his lab being entirely trashed, and just. not enough sleep and tadashi is almost five million levels of done with everything. so he's taking a small break and walking around the campus... at a very ungodly hour. and while he may not actually live in the dorms, he's sure no one would mind him grabbing a quick snack while he considers things to do to fix his robotics project.

what he does not expect to see is someone furiously baking cookies. at 3 am. wow, he thought only aunt cass did that when she was stress eating and the cafe was empty. he looks like a bit of a mess, a five o'clock shadow, bags under his eyes, but the smell of cookies almost makes him smile. good food, good college food. don't mind him as he just. hesitantly steps inside.) You only find someone baking cookies this late in college.

[ honey lemon has her own reasons for being up late, namely that she's been working on a chemical formula for a term project that she's having trouble cracking. this, however, does not explain why she's baking cookies, and she has no excuse for how this will help her figure out her formula, therapy baking reasons aside.

it's not exactly unheard of for people to be wandering around the dorms this late, but she isn't expecting company, nonetheless. she's setting another cookie sheet in the oven when she hears someone speaking behind her, and on instinct, she whirls right around, wielding her spatula and oven mitt defensively. ]

A-ha! Thought you could sneak up on - [ but, oh, she doesn't recognize this guy. not exactly. though she might have seen him around campus. ] Oh! Sorry! Sorrysorrysorry - am I being too loud?

[ for all she knows, he's the R.A. come to scold her. or take her cookies. ]

(WHOA OKAY that's happening. he's not sure how deadly honey lemon can be with a spatula but his hands are up defensively just in case. at least a smile spreads on his face when she realizes the mistake. as long as he's not going to be backhanded via spatula, he's okay.) No, no, it's okay. I don't even live in the dorms, I was just coming to grab a snack before I get back to my project.

(and he has a sneaking suspicion that's a mutual feeling around here. #robotics college.)

[ honey lemon relaxes visibly, set down the spatula. WELL, CASUAL SNACKING SHE CAN HANDLE. and understand. this is probably going to become a semi-regular thing for her. ]

Oh! Oh oh oh-okay! Well, would you like some cookies? I mean, I'm definitely not going to eat all of these. Could you imagine? I mean, then I could miss class on account of being sick, but...no, NO! I won't even consider it!

[ she's just gonna come at u with a tray of cookies now, tadashi, there is no escape. ]

(tadashi didn't have long to peer curiously at the cookies before she's coming at him with an entire tray full of them. WELL IF SHE INSISTS how could he refuse free college food.) Sure, I'd love some. Doubt we could eat the whole batch, but--

(wait. wait. wait. that is quite the idea she's come up with to get out of class, and while tadashi adores college... he needs a break. so he is just. going to eat cookie after cookie and regret life choices later.) Thanks for the cookies. And the idea.

[ she shoots him a positively horrified look, before pull the tray away from him. ]

Wait, you'd really do it? I can't let you! You'll ruin cookies for yourself! Think of the consequences!

[ she can't really blame him for wanting to get out of class, but think about your future relationship with cookies, man! ]

(WHAT NO HE WAS EATING... but no, she has a point. this is why tadashi thinks thing through and doesn't act on impulse.

then he'd be hiro. well, if it helps, he looks guilty about it after she takes the tray away, and he sets those 5 cookies in his hand on the counter.) Yeah... yeah, you're right.

(he pauses before smiling a bit sheepishly.) They're great, though. The cookies, I mean.

[ well, at least he's change his mind about the cookie-induced sickness. she can breathe a little easier now. ]

Oh, thank you! They're just a little old family recipe...plus, therapy baking! It really helps!

(late night decisions are oft bad ones, tadashi knows this as a fact.) Yeah, no kidding. I'm gonna be needing a lot of that this semester. My aunt actually knows a great recipe for chicken wings with hot sauce, the kind that makes your face all numb. I could make some for you sometime, if you want?

Oooh, that'd be amazing! I love that tingly numb-face feeling!

[ #chemistproblems ]

- Omigosh, I'm so sorry! Um - I'm Honey Lemon. Or that's what they call me, anyway! [ she sticks out her hand for a handshake. ]

Yeah, where you can't even feel your tears? It's the best.

(SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THANK GOD. but yes he will shake her hand back!) I'm Tadashi. But Honey Lemon... that's a cute nickname.
