It Was Always You

Chapter 2- First Day of Class

Thanos wakes up when the door loudly slams closed, rubbing his eyes sleepily. Se-mi slowly comes into his vision, looking at something on her phone. "Where the fuck were you last night..." Thanos mumbled. "You left me all alone." Se-mi raised a brow. "I literally told you I was going to Mi-na's dorm..." Thanos then shot up, now wide awake. "My fucking ex-girlfriend? Wow, you've stooped so low." He said, shaking his head. "Oh, shut up. You knew we were a thing." Se-mi responds, rolling her eyes. "She gave you her fucking pajamas too?" Thanos blinks, staring at Se-mi's pink silk pajama set and fuzzy slippers. "Yeah, jealous?" She smirks. "Of you? Never." He shakes his head, returning the smirk. "Anyways, get dressed. I want to check out the Cafe." Se-mi says, sitting down on her bed. "Okay..." Thanos groans, sleepily. He gets up from his bed and grabs a random purple shirt and black pants from the closet, going into the bathroom to change. Throwing his shirt over his head and looking into the mirror was when he remembered his dream. It was at the party, he tapped on the girl's shoulder, and she turned around with a beautiful smile, her hair swaying over her shoulders. He told her she looked beautiful and asked her out on a date. She accepted, and then they kissed. Then he was annoyingly woken up by Se-mi's loud ass. He put his gold chain around his neck and walked out the door, Se-mi in a black hoodie and tights.

They began walking through the hallway, Thanos's mind still on the girl. He just couldn't stop thinking about her. Her siren eyes, the way she tucked her hair behind her ears, her casual yet completely fitting clothing. "Thanos, you listening?" Se-mi said, interrupting his train of thought and snapping him back to reality. "What?" He blinked, turning to her. "You okay? You seem...distracted." She pointed out, tilting her head and giving him a skeptical look. "Yeah, it's just...I met this girl at the party last night. She had like a bob and cargo pants..." He said, realizing how underwhelming it sounded when saying it out loud. "Okay...? You what? Had sex?" Se-mi asked, crossing her arms and waiting for him to finish the damn story. "No..." He shrugged. "So, what's the issue?" She asked, now concerned at whatever lore Thanos was about to drop. "She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. And I was high so I couldn't even tell what I was saying. I fumbled really bad..." He said, cringing at himself. Se-mi's expression softened. "So, what you're saying is, you have a crush?" She asked with a playful smirk. "Shut up, bitch. Don't say it like that." He looked off to the side in embarrassment, Se-mi laughing. "Well, if it means that much to you, I could try to find her." She said. "What? Really?" He asked, turning back to her with a shocked expression. "Yeah, I mean, I can try. There's not that many people who go here." She shrugged. "Aww, I love you mamacita." He said with a smile, putting a hand on her head and ruffling her hair. "You fucking bitch." Se-mi said. If there was one thing she didn't play about; it was her hair. She attempted to smooth it down, punching Thanos hard in the shoulder. He laughed, skipping ahead.

They finally got to the Cafe; it was cute. It was a small building with flowers and a very cozy vibe. They walked in, the bell on the door ringing. They sat down at one of the two-person tables in the front near the counter. "So, any other defining features of this mystery girl?" Se-mi asked, clearly intrigued. "Uhh...." Thanos thought to himself for a moment. "Well, I don't really know. She had these eyes- slightly small and tilted, it felt like she was staring into your soul. But they were also soft, you could see her entire life in her eyes." He began, leaning onto his hand. "So, the main thing you remember is her eyes?" Se-mi asked. "Yeah, I guess it was the most intriguing thing about her." He shrugged. Just then, their conversation was loudly interrupted by a fight in the corner of the room. This guy was yelling at his presumably girlfriend. "You don't even care about me." The shorter girl said, crossing her arms. "Jun-hee, I do. I swear. Let's just- can we not talk about this here?" He asked, glaring around the room to everyone who was staring at them. "You fucking prick!" She exclaimed, storming out of the Cafe. The guy placed a stressed hand on his forehead. He then opened his phone, beginning to type furiously. "Jesus Christ, we should've brought popcorn." Thanos said, turning back to Se-mi. "I feel bad for her. I mean, what kind of boyfriend starts a fight at 10am in the damn Cafe?" She scoffed, watching as the guy exited the building. "I don't know, I'm kinda invested though." Thanos shrugged with a playful smile. "What do you think happened? Cheating? Lies? Pregnancy?" He asked. "Oh, god. You shouldn't be speculating on this shit, it might be serious." She said, disapprovingly crossing her arms. "Whatever. Go get me a drink, mamacita." Thanos replied with a smirk. Se-mi rolled her eyes, standing up. "Stop calling me that." She winced, walking up to the counter.
