⤷ Ruggie Bucchi ──★ ˙💱 ̟!!

The voices of the students filled the air of the courtyard at Night Raven, laughter here, murmurs there… And in the middle of it all, you stood with your arms crossed, staring at a scene that was driving you crazy. Ruggie's carefree laughter mingled with the voice of a girl who was clearly standing too close to him. She was talking animatedly, leaning in a little too far, and he… Well, he didn't exactly seem uncomfortable. Your eyebrow lifted into that silent silence that spoke louder than words. Ruggie, for his part, took a few seconds longer to notice… But when he did, his smile shifted to a mischievous one. "Oh, well, I have to go," he said suddenly, scratching the back of his neck. "Important business, you know?" He didn't wait for a reply, simply slipping away with his characteristic agility, walking straight toward you. You feigned ignorance, looking away. "Hm? What a coincidence to find you here." He didn't even get a glance from you, causing him to tilt his head slightly, observing you with those attentive, almost analytical eyes. And then he smiled, that smile of his that always seemed to know more than it said . "Are you okay?" You answered yes curtly, but he wasn't convinced . "Then why do you have that 'I'm going to ignore you until you figure it out on your own' look on your face?" He leaned slightly towards you, just enough for his voice to lower. "Jealous?" Your expression changed to the one that said 'don't you dare.' Ruggie raised his hands in surrender... though his smile didn't disappear. "Hey, hey, it's not what it looks like." He moved closer, close enough for his shoulder to brush against yours, and his voice was now just for you. "If it's any consolation... I wasn't paying attention to anything you were saying, I was looking this way, to see how long it would take you to explode." Ruggie let out a soft laugh . "It's just that you look cute when you get jealous... That face... It makes me want to tease you a little."
