"Oh good.... I was afraid that....Yeah I'm nervous too I guess" he said and looked down at his lap

"Yeah no, ohmygosh." Jacen reached up to fiddle with his bangs anxiously with an exhaustive laugh. "I guess we're just two really nervous people."

"Then I guess its pretty interesting that we managed to find eachother so quickly" he said and laughed nervously. "I worry way too much" he admitted softly

"Well maybe it was destiny!" Jacen giggled, excitedly. He was a firm believer in things happening for a reason, and running into this guy just solidified his theory.

"I was thinking the same thing, I just-" was too nervous. Damnit!
"S-so what is there to do around here besides classes and extracurriculars?" he asked, changing the conversation (or at least hoping to)

"Great minds think alike," Jacen winked happily before he hummed and bit at his lower lip. "Hmm...I-this is embarrassing-I don't really know. I just kind of hide out in the library most of the time." He admitted, his cheeks burning with a dark pink.

"Hey no that's totally fine." he said and gave a reassuring smile. "I spend a lot of my time in places like that too. There's nothing wrong with that."

Jacen rolled his eyes, laughing. "Thank you for saying that, but I mean, gosh. It's hard to admit that I'm a complete loser." He gave a short laugh and then smiled. "Still, if I didn't have such an aversion to social contact, I wouldn't have ran into you..."

"Then we're probably right. This may very well be fate." Emanuel said and smiled. "I mean, its just way too coincidental and all" he added, struggling to enunciate the word "coincidental" through his accent and nervousness. "You know.... I don't think under any other....circumstances two people like us would meet so quickly like that" he said

Jacen dipped his head to study his lap with a shy smile as Emanuel talked, his accent shining through spectacularly in this specific moment. "I'm prone to agree." He nodded slowly, looking up to the other. "I don't normally even talk to people in the library, so that in itself was pretty bold. If it's not fate...I don't know what is."

"I'm so happy to hear that I'm not the only one of us who thinks this" he said and smiled. What was most interesting of all was that for the past few minutes, Emanuel's mind was relatively quiet. He wasn't worrying about studying, or germs, or which foot he entered the room with in case he had to "fix" by going back and doing it again.. All that mattered was the boy next to him and how well he associated with him. "Its....really awesome that we met"

"Yeah ohygoshyeah-" Jacen exhaled breathily as he rushed out his over-enthusiastic agreement to what Emanuel had said. It was really awesome that he'd met the other. It wasn't every day he found someone while wandering in his favorite section of the library and then somehow ended up watching the Titanic with them. Most of the people here weren't really...well, they sucked. "I'm really happy you invited me over, I-well, yeah. Thank you." He stuttered shyly.

"No, seriously....thank YOU!" Emanuel said and smiled at the other's enthusiasm. He was equally excited, but he was mostly just in awe that someone so perfect for him could be in the same room. "Do you....wanna go to the boardwalk later? Its usually a bit calmer at night. I think I may be a little too ramped up sit through a movie like this."
You're nuts. You're absolutely nuts. He thought and just stared at Jacen like a deer in headlights.

Jacen's mouth hung open slightly after the other boy pitched his request, returning the boy's gaze. He had to blink blindly a few times to regain any sort of thinking ability. The boardwalk? "Yeah-wow, no that'd be really cool," He swallowed hard, still trying to determine if this was some kind of dream or not. "I'd love to-I'm sort of, yeah right there with you on the movie." He admitted with a small smile. This couldn't be real.

"Cool. I can drive you there in like, a half hour." he said and smiled. Did that REALLY work? he thought and laughed a little. "I just have to get ready and all."

Jacen nodded, humming out a small 'mmhm' noise, even though he was fairly certain there wasn't much to do to get ready. Maybe he was just always over-prepared and ready to go anywhere at anytime, which he couldn't expect of every human being. "I'll go wait for your call, then." He quipped happily, standing up and heading to the door.

"Okay I'll see you then!" he mumbled, his voice wavering a bit. Emanuel knew that he didn't necessarily have to change or anything, but he felt better doing it. He waited for Jacen to leave, and he rushed over to the door, making sure it was shut. He locked and unlocked it six times before heading over to his dresser to get clothes. He found a matching sweatervest, shirt, and tie as well as a pair of pants. He laid them out on his bed. Did I lock the door? he thought No I definitely did....better check again. He walked over and turned the lock six more times. He spun on his heels to walk back over to the bed, and then turned around again. Damnit! One, two, three, four, five, six....I've checked the lock....an odd number of times! He turned the lock a final six times before he was comfortable enough to go back over to the clothes.
He brought them over to the washroom and turned on the light twice, no. Twice more, no. Twice more, yes perfect. He shut the door. He opened the door. He shut it again. He took off his clothes and put them in the laundry hamper. He looked at himself in the mirror for a brief second. He was wearing his favorite underwear, so how bad can it get? He thought as he was putting on his other outfit. He adjusted his tie and looked at himself once again. Alright I LOOK good he thought. He ran his tongue over his front teeth before reaching over for his toothbrush. He grabbed it and turned the faucet on
He turned the faucet off
He turned the faucet on
He put some toothpaste on the brush and thoroughly brushed his teeth. He leaned down to get some water before he spit it into the sink and rinsed the brush. After he put it back, he looked at his hands and ran them under the hot water. He got soap and washed his hands, cleaning under every nail, and scrubbing until it stung. Once he was comfortable enough, he turned the faucet off, on, and off again and then dried his hands off. Emanuel leaned against the sink, looking into his own eyes in the mirror. He sighed and got the bottle of adderall from the medicine cabinet. He took one, because he was feeling far too imperfect.
He flicked the lights on....off....on and sauntered over to the bed, flopping backwards onto it. Now all he had to do was wait.

Jacen conformed to his own primping routine once he was safely inside his dorm room. His rituals were a lot less meticulous, but it was a lot of the same things. He didn't want to appear too vain, or whatever the other male might come to conclude if he changed his clothing, so he had to recheck is outfit in the mirror about sixty times, glancing over every single square inch, looking for stains or any new unraveling threads in his cardigan. Finding it to his liking, he was free to turn his attention onto fixing up his bangs, which had started falling in front of his eyes halfway through the movie neither had paid any attention to. Once that matter was attended to, Jacen reached for his toothbrush and proceeded to scrub at his pearly whites vigorously.
When his appearance was restored to what he considered to be presentable, he glanced at the clock on his bedside table, blowing out a short breath when he realized he'd taken a little longer than he'd expected to with his hair, and was now in danger of looking like he was running late-which was ridiculous because they were down the hall and Emanuel saw him not half an hour ago, so he'd know that there wasn't anything major he'd have to do. With a bit of a slip in his step, Jacen returned to the other boy's dorm room and knocked, a little more confidently this time.

Emanuel rushed over to the door the moment he heard the knock. He opened it and smiled. "Hey" he said, looking up at the boy. His hands were shaking a little out of nervousness and partially because he washed the everloving daylights out of them and they were still tingling. "So.... we should get going, I guess" he added.
