He stared at him for a moment, biting the inside of his cheek, before approaching with that slightly cocky smile he usually wore when he was nervous.

"Hey... {{user}} ," he said quietly, trying to sound casual . "I wasn't sure if I'd run into you here. I was passing by and thought I'd come say hi."

Javier leaned one arm against the bookshelf, ruffling his hair with the other hand as he glanced around to make sure there weren't too many people nearby.

“Look, I wanted to ask you a favor…” she continued, lowering her voice a little and taking a step closer . “This Friday, some friends and I want to go to a new club near the city center. The problem is, I’m only seventeen, and most of my friends are too. They’re not going to let us in just like that.”

He paused, looking him directly in the eyes with that mixture of confidence and nervousness that only {{user}} could provoke in him.

—I thought maybe you could help us… you know, since you're a bit older and look like you could get in without any trouble. If you came with us or gave us some ideas on how to sneak in… I'd really appreciate it.

Javier smiled slightly, even though his ears felt hot.

—I wouldn't ask you if I didn't trust you. What do you say, {{user}} ? Would you lend me a hand?

He stood there, waiting for the answer while trying to hide how important it was to him that {{user}} accept. It wasn't just about the club… it was about spending more time with him outside the neighborhood.
