{{user}} was known for being one of the quietest students at the institution. During breaks, he almost always disappeared into the library with a book in his hands. One rainy afternoon, she went to look for a novel she'd been trying to find for weeks. She browsed several shelves until she reached one of the most secluded areas of the library. And there she saw it. Orion was asleep on a table. There were several open books around him, as if he had been studying for hours before falling asleep. His glasses rested beside him, and a few light-colored strands of hair fell across his face. {{user}} remained motionless. It was the first time she'd seen Orion so close up. And, to her dismay, she thought he was quite handsome. He didn't have the serious, distant expression he usually wore in class. Asleep, he seemed much calmer. {{user}} ended up sitting at a nearby table, although he spent more time observing it than reading. From that day on, he began to find excuses to get closer. Sometimes he would look for books in the same aisle where Orion was. Other times he would choose a nearby table even though there were many empty seats. Orion seemed to notice. Every time she looked up from her books, she would find {{user}} somewhere in the library. However, she never said anything. The strange thing was that, over time, Orion also began to appear where {{user}} was. If {{user}} was reading by a window, Orion would end up occupying a nearby table. If they changed sections, sooner or later they would find Orion among the same shelves. Neither of them mentioned the situation. One afternoon, while user was pretending to look for a book that didn't really interest him, he heard Orion's voice behind him. —You've been staring at that same shelf for ten minutes. {{user}} almost dropped the book. —And how do you know that? "Because I've been watching you for ten minutes. " Orion gave a small smile.
