Yet Another Zelda Roleswap (the masterpost)

✨what's this AU?

Check THIS POST I DID that started it all and also the AU’s tag

✨in this au, the previous legends about the triforce are the same, aka “zeldas are princesses links are heroes and ganon/ganondorf is always the same guy and the big bad”! BUT THIS TIME DESTINY DID AN OOPSIE and ganondorf forgot all about his previous lives while link is the one who remembers them all!!! zelda just wants to travel and read cool legends and didnt expect to be part of one

✨ZELDA STUFF

-trans girl, found the name zelda in very very very old royal records

-she's like 16 or something

-seventh heir to the throne who wants to prove herself, so she goes on an adventure to save the world!!!!

-adventurous and impulsive and naive

-main weapon is bows, she also knows magic and sheikah techniques

-has six siblings who dont really pay attention to her. shes probably the youngest

-her point of view is very black and white at first

-even when she gets in the middle of link and ganon’s story she still doesn’t believe she is The Zelda of legend

-how could she she’s just a zelda, one among many, just a kid playing at being a princess

-(she IS the zelda)

-she gets a bird AND a white horse!!!!

-if she sees a weird cave she WILL go into it

-would probably eat moss if dared

✨LINK STUFF

-genderfluid, uses he/they

-hes in his early twenties

-a man zelda meets during her travels, who seems to know a lot about old legends

-he can see koroks and fairies, who can’t be seen by most people

-gets all his past lives' memories after he gets the master sword, over a period of a day or two

-maybe link does remember his past deaths along with his past lives, but past deaths are maybe more muted…. less like he experienced them and more like someone told him about it. still fucks him up tho

-i feel like he’d be pretty nice and sleepy all the time, until you mention something that has to do with his memories (aka, ganondorf, but also like “oh ive heard some hero in the legends went back to being a kid to save the world or whatever) and he’d get this super serious, focused look… something like that, little things that would make zelda go :^?

-he just really wants to kill ganondorf ya dig

-SO MANY BOSS FORMS probably one per main title (kinda like xant’s battle in TP) (strongest/hardest to fight is majora’s mask link), and final form is definitely some twisted looking fierce deity

-as for his past selves he has all of their memories and its kind of… they’re not him, he’s him, they’re just memories that he has, but when he is very very stressed its “memories become actual personalities for a sec” time. 99% of the time its just him and then ganondorf is there and its like WILL EVERYONE SHUT UP IM TRYING TO MAKE A MURDER HERE

-he’s not controlled by malice or anything because it would feel like a deus ex machina to me

-in the end he doesnt die and he gets redemption because he didnt hurt anyone he just tried to kill ganondorf a few times hes good, and also zelda is his friend and an heir to the throne he’s got immunity. poor guy just needs help processing all those lives and needs a cabin in the woods with some fairies!!!

-re: his past lives, oot link SUPER HATES ganondorf while ww link is more sympathetic. links who havent fought ganondorf are ambivalent about him

-endgame ship is either with ganondorf OR beedle. beedle is the secret ending

-will eat moss

✨GANONDORF STUFF

-he's in his twenties i promise he just has resting old man face

-zelda’s old childhood friend

-doesn’t remember anything about his past lives

-gerudo king, very serious but fairly well loved

-lets not talk about malice it either doesnt exist/this ganondorf doesnt have any/this ganondorf knows how to control it. either way its not gonna affect the story

-”what are you wearing today king” “oh, just whatever” (its not whatever he spent hours finding the day’s outfit)

-found out about his past lives while reading a very very very old book, probably read it and stayed in his room for a week and then promised himself to never ever ever turn out like that

-genuinely a good person

-would never eat moss

✨RELATIONSHIPS STUFF

-zelda and ganondorf actually knew each other as kids! Both being royalty and all. legends do talk about a hero a princess a beast or whatever but don’t use link or ganondorf’s names since it’s been so long- it takes zelda and ganondorf both finding old, old books on their own to be like “AH OOPS”!!! Ganondorf learns about his past lives much earlier than zelda, who finds out during her adventures, and she goes from seeing ganondorf as a dear friend to being like “…but what if he’s really bad though”

they’re old childhood friends, you know, the kind that were best friends before and then grew up and saw each other less often (different kingdoms and all) so they kinda grew apart, and then zelda starting her quest made them reconnect again! Ganondorf is a little older than zelda so he always saw her more as his little sister who just jumps into mud because she totally saw a sword there i promise, and zelda sees ganondorf as her cool older brother who actually pays attention to her, unlike her actual siblings

-when link and zelda meet, zelda’s like “weird dude but probably harmless” and link is like “weird girl but probably harmless” and then she’s like “oh my name is zelda” and link goes “ah just likeWAIT” and he kinda observes her to… gauge her abilities? My Zeldas Were Better kinda thing. i guess during their final battle he’s like “you’re really a zelda, after all” and its bittersweet

the second zelda figures out link is also part of those legends she goes full hero worship mode, which makes link’s fall from grace… really… hard on her. ive been admiring you and wanting to be a hero like you all this time, turns out you’re not a hero and also Not Okay

-re ganondorf and link, after everything that happened uuuh

human brain: it probably takes them both a long while to get used to each other, given that one was almost killed by the other and the other has vivid memories of having their world(s) destroyed by the one, but after a while they probably bond over their shared uuuuh memories i guess. link visits gerudo city once in a while and they catch up and become friends and

lizard brain: after 100k words they DATE

no i wont write how it happens you will NOT make me embarrass myself in front of everyone because i earnestly wrote about how link visits ganondorf every time he’s in gerudo country and at first link just passes by to give ganondorf news about how zelda is faring as queen and news about the world, and as time goes and years go by they start talking about their lives and struggles and just taking walks across the desert together and having sand seal races and everyone in ganondorf’s court is like “so when’s that little voe coming back” and ganondorf is like “i neither know nor care that its been three months since his last visit” and everyone’s like (smirk) “okay” and when has he even started to look forward to link’s visits anyway how did this happen and then link comes back and smiles gently and shows ganondorf this cool rock he found that looks like ganondorf’s face and ganondorf is smitten

takes them both Y E A R S to realize their feelings and then date tho. slow burn or bust

✨WORLD STUFF

-takes place in a time where the games’ adventures are only known as legends where they didnt even write down ganondorf’s and link’s names

-now that im thinking about it it wouldnt happen like THOUSANDS OF YEARS after any game because then ganon and link wouldnt be that worried about their destiny??? so maybe like 100-200 years after a game??? and the ppl writing down the legends were just terrible bookkeepers who couldnt even think write down link and ganon’s name

-(smash voice) EVERYONE IS HERE!!!!!!!! tingle and agitha the bug princess and sidon and especially groose who is uuuuum zelda’s rival who is totally not in love with her

-i think in botw its implied koroks are only seen by people like link and zelda??? so id say only people with uuuuh magical power??? can see them???? so koroks are just doin their thing, playing pranks, helping people without them knowing, and, in the case of makar, playing romantic music around couples

#Yet Another Zelda Roleswap AU #zelda #ref #im gonna put most questions ive answered on private so this tumblr remains pretty much art #but i might as well do a post with all the stuff ive said!!!!#i LOVE your questions and i still have some to answer but i usually put ask tags on private after a few days so #PLEASE SEND ME MORE QUESTIONS IF YOUD LIKE!!!#will update this post as time goes on

EPISODE SEVEN

“I AM THRIVING. ABSOLUTELY THRIVING.” - joey

HOH: Nathan UPSIDE DOWN: Emma NOMINEES: Jev & Kiki POV: Joshua FINAL NOMINEES: Josh C & Kiki EVICTED: Josh C (6-0)

ARIA

So,,,i highkey fucked up but all good things come to an end, I couldn't play the middle forever but the way it ended was just a little earlier than i expected. Also i handled the backlash of the dpov HORRIBLY! I did so many things wrong this week its insane even though i was on all day calling people i still fucked up,,,but its fine nothing i can really do to change that. But from here i want to fix things and do better, which does start with addressing where I fucked up so lets start with that woot woot (also holy shit that double was so draining this is the first time ive felt legitimately tired in a while and its only 1 am)

1. COMP FLOPS

-literally all my allies flopped on the comps when we REALLY needed to win and its even worse combined with the information I was told where people told me they were throwing just to do well instead- its clear they weren't being honest with me and I settled into their lies without an ounce of hesitation

2. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

I just really settled certain things poorly leading up to this night, i think somewhere i majorly fucked up is with emma, if i was able to get her to vote out nick or get jacob to dpov someone she would vote out i would be in a much better position atm but i didn't and therefore ive exposed myself. And if i was able to receive knowledge of her rose gold dpov before hand i couldve worked out a new plan that way

3. DAMAGE CONTROL

This is where i **truly** fucked up and its gonna show in my jury management too, like theres NO way i could ever get nicks vote at this point in time. Also my gut instinct after the vote was to lie about the way i voted to kiki/joshua/nick/jev when i shouldve came clean and used a bullshit excuse about how i heard nick was after me or something. It's gonna damage my relationships with all of them

SO wabam here i am slightly fucked due to me being a mess but its okay!! I'm still in the game and while im not in as good as a position as I was last time im still certain i can get back into everyones good graces!! And i mean this vote did reveal that a lot of people consider me to be in a duo with them??? which um is kinda weird HBFSHDF Like joey and emma were both calling us duo of the season and i was like....k cute cool totally called that and knew we were a duo yup yup- FBHJDSBF LMAO but i mean in terms of my own position you have the two trios (jacob/bri/nathan and jev/kiki/joshua) who are going to go after each other with Josh C and Emma leaning toward jev/kiki/joshua while me and joey lean towards jacob/bri/nathan. Its crazy that its literally f10 and its five versus five with hardly any true middle player (for now wink wonk)

But now that nick is out I need to think about whats next and whats my next big move. I think rn im involved with a lot of moves but im not the face of them (bri using pov on nathan, jacob dpoving bri) and such but if i want to win I have to make a move of my own and DEF need to work on jury management bc again nick is gonna hate my guts after reading my gbm,,,as yousef would say "oopsie whoopsie" so I think from here I need to get back in jev/kiki/joshua's good graces SOME how and im really tempted to come clean about my vote bc i think thats going to hurt me in the long run and theres literally already an alliance of all five of that side so like....whats the point of sewing mistrust but also, i do kinda want to try just being a dirty crime snake this game and seeing how much control I truly have on this game. Literally EVERYONE except those three knows my true vote and i've told them all to keep it to themselves so we'll see what happens,,,, im kinda tempted to pin the vote on emma just for funsies and tell them that "jacob told me hes close to emma" or some bs like that but also,,,thats kinda mean yknow? Its also a testament to test how much that trio trusts me which im GUESSING is less than emma but who knows maybe ill get lucky :DD

Anyways in terms of moving on I really need someone who actually likes me to join jury so its not completely set against me the whole time but also im not sure how thats gonna go down ugh. I mean in terms of end game my options are starting to become limited because nathan/bri/jacob would all BODY me at the end bc at this point they've been the face of big moves and I hope my big move can be turning on one of them and getting them out at some point so when i really start to look at a realistic f2 I can win,,, im kinda leaning toward my new duos of emma or joey which is kinda a shocker to me too lemme tell u HFBSDF but joey's perception of the game seems,,,,messy and I think i can beat him while emma is def doing better but she hasnt snapped yet so i think i can maybe beat her. And then jev/joshua/kiki depends im not sure yet but the thing with them is none of them are gonna want to bring me to the end which is super frustrating (i mean i did just snake em so,,,maybe its deserved)

The thing is that I like being honest about my vote so trying to have an honest game convo with any of those three is gonna be really hard,,,,esp considering they were all my targets for live night but here we are :') And i really dont know what to do at this point which is really annoyinggg (annoying @ myself theyre all lovely) I think im gonna have to wait a bit before i can try getting them all to fully trust me rn i dont know this has been such a mess but im doing my best!! Before i end this probably poorly aging paragraph its trust ranking time

1.myself (FUCK, and i cant stress this enough, EVERYONE)

HUGE GAP

2.Brianna (shes slowly becoming more stuck in jacob's trap but i do still think shes loyal to me, god IS a woman!!!)

3.Jacob (hate having this man so high bc hes bodying this game but he tells me a lot ig :/ )

ANOTHER GAP

4. Nathan (we need to call and discuss live night but he isnt going to like nominate me or anything)

5.Joey (apparently we're a f2?? not sure where that happened but also hes cagey idk)

-smol gap-

6.Josh C (told me his alliance!! shame he doesnt know im gonna rat him out to my side teehee)

7.Emma (we're also a duo?? almost forgot about that but i fucked her over here a bit but i can build the trust back up i THINK)

anothe gap

8.Jev (he talked to me after live night and didnt ask about my vote so thats cute....not sure where we stand...help)

9.Kiki (we talked briefly after the vote but idk if they realized im a snake yet)

10.Joshua (the silence is deafening)

Not happy w/ my position yet and im likely to just come clean to joshua in a call tmrow because hes honestly really sweet and his friendship means a lot to me but i need to figure out how I leave me connection with jacob/bri out of it.. ill think of something

praying im not the most hated here but if i am it wouldnt be the first time ig, and thats on pewiod <3

JOEY

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I AM THRIVING. ABSOLUTELY THRIVING. Not a damn soul is coming after me, and more importantly, I have numbers on my side, and no one’s gonna be pissed off at me on BOTH sides of the house. People say Josh C is playing both sides? Nah, it’s me. I need him out because I’m trying to ride that middle man status. My ideal plan is to see Emma go home next week, so that way I ain’t responsible. I want to get rid of Jacob at Final 7, and I will damn sure make that happen. Aria and I have a Final 2 that I plan on sticking to. Seeing Nick go was sad, but good lord it was I-C-O-N-I-C.

EMMA

Everything in this game lately has honestly pissed me off first it was me getting blindsided during live night even though i didnt really want to vote nathan if i was being honest i wanted brianna out over nathan because i thought nathan would be more easier to work with them boom Dpov and boom nick going i am like a little unsure if i regret using the dpov or not i do regret it well because nathan won hoh and sent me to the upside down and nick probably wouldnt try super hard for hoh but then again it seemed my so called allies were probably more closer to nick but i am not even sure my so called low confidence is my weakness in my games but i dont know how to be more confident pretty sure everyone beats me in the end at this point unless if i win an hoh if i do at this point Jacob/Brianna/even nathan getting nominated i didnt want nathan out before like if i won hoh i would of put him to the upside straight up nominate brianna and jacob if one of them goes off the block joey gets put up as a pawn after the upside down week im gonna do whatever to make it to the end idc if i go to the end with somebody i cant beat i just want to make this game enjoyable for me as i can i dont want to float for awhile then bring a goat to the end NNN

EMMA

my shit list in order to who i target to who isnt on my rader

Jacob > Nathan > Brianna > Joshua = Aria > Jev > Kiki/Josh C > Joey

who i like most to who is most annoying to play on a game level (i dont really hate or dislike anyone on a personal level)

Aria > Jev > Joshua *tiny gap* Nathan > Kiki/Josh C >>>>>>>>>>> Jacob > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Joey = brianna also joey would be higher but he lied to me for no reason even tho i didnt mind putting alot of trust in me and i love brianna on a personal level but girl i am not good socially with her which is my fault and her fault also jacob kinda assumed stuff about me like not big stuff like meta but he still told other people except me (people who are out who i love) Gina/Jakey > Saira=Nick=Monty=Mo *small gap* Nash >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dog shit > Taylers dinner (dylan and the og homies know it) >>>>>>>>>>>> DEM

but yeah this game has made me happy because everyone is nice except dem but its been hard to play it because if i felt better i think i would of been playing a 100x times better game

JEV

So I'm safe but it comes at the cost of one of my two favourite people in this game. I've arguably grown closest to Josh C throughout this game, but I promised Joshua that if he saved me with veto I'd vote however he wanted and he wants Josh C to leave over Kiki. This week is me and Nash as final noms levels of ugly.

Tuesday, May 8, 2012 - Craig Park & School

Hung out with Ronan on Saturday. He watched “The Avengers” with Hunter on Friday. He’d called me after it was over, wondering if I wanted to bother Remus with him. But once we realized the kid was probably already busy with his own plans, Ronan called it off. Asked if he’d be doing anything the next day. He wasn’t sure. Hunter looked bored, according to Ronan, once the latter was almost hanging up.

Come to think of it, I haven’t seen hide or hair of Remus for over a month now. I was in the middle of my report for business communication when Ronan called me on Saturday, asking if I wanted to bother Hunter, who recently got his Internet back. “Or we could go to the park beforehand and then go to his house,” Ronan said, sounding hopeful. I told Ronan I had to marinade the sesame udon I was making. He said he’ll call me back about which park to go to. I finished throwing everything together. Ronan called back and noted that Hunter wasn’t picking up the phone. “He always does this,” Ronan said. “When he gets a new game or something that he’s into…” “Well, that’s mean… and I thought he was supposed to be saving money!” “We could still go to Craig Park in Brea, if you want.” “Okay, then.” “Alright. Get ready, then. Bye…” Threw a jacket in a camping backpack, along with a small tub of the udon I’d just made, a carton of organic soy milk, and my shoulder bag. I called him once I reached his house. Ronan came out with two Styrofoam cups. He nodded at me. “Hey. I brought water.” “Why’d you bring water?” I asked. “Because you forgot to bring it.” His tone was matter-of-fact. I laughed right out loud. Ronan knows me so well. I wheeled my bike in to his yard. “Do you want to bring your bike, or do you just want to walk around the park?” Ronan asked me. “Walking around is fine.” I smiled at him.

I called Hunter in the car, on speaker. He didn’t know my new number yet. To my surprise, he picked up. “Ass,” Ronan immediately said. Hunter had not picked up when Ronan called. “Hello?” came Hunter’s voice. A few more words were exchanged before it was evident that Hunter had no idea he was speaking to. “Why did you pick up if you don’t know who I am?” I asked, amused. “That’s a good question,” Hunter returned. I started to giggle. “Hunter, I just saw you, like, a few weeks ago!” I surmised he was not familiar with my phone voice. He hung up on me, though I continued to talk to the silence, unaware. It was so odd that he picked up when a strange number called, but not when Ronan called. Though it had been an amusing exchange, I still felt bad for Ronan. Walked around the park after I laughingly asked why Ronan’s wheels would need to be turned away from the curb. We spanned several hills, sang a few songs, noted the interesting deviation of ducks and the multiple squirrels. Ronan and I walked to this remote-looking corner in the park where there were some lizard tunnels. One lizard that ogled us moved, while a quick movement at one of the holes indicated that it had an inhabitant. Ronan dared me to poke a stick into the hole, ever so slightly. “A whole swarm of lizards comes out,” he joked. I laughed. I inched it in, my other hand clutching one of the wooden poles. Ronan made a weird noise and touched my hand, causing me to shriek. Ronan immediately clapped his hands, laughing heartily. I was glad to see him so amused and free-spirited, so I laughed along as well. I didn’t often see him so loosened up unless I was around. I didn’t mind that he extracted amusement from teasing me. Once I stopped laughing, I stuck my hand into the hole and swept away the leaves. “Really, Christy?” Ronan said. “What’s the worst that could happen?” I offered him. Ronan’s second laugh made me jump up in fright, which made him laugh even harder. “What happened? I thought you weren’t scared.” He grinned at me, eyes bright. “Of course I’m scared… but I’m still going to do it.” “Oh, my God…” I could hear the admiration in his tone. “Christy Scare Count?” I asked. “I lost track. My right ear is deaf now.” I laughed.

We settled on the grass after a while. It was peaceful to just lay there, staring at the mixture of tree branches, leaves, and clear blue sky above. The best part was having my best friend next to me, talking about anything that came to mind… I told him about how Quyen’s birthday celebration went. I asked about his classes, summer plans…. Ronan reckons he’s going to focus on school during summer. Later he said that he’s considering interning for Disneyland during fall, to get something on his resume. I hope that goes well for him. I suggested that we spend July Fourth at the beach watching the fireworks. “Oh, with your family?” Ronan asked, looking over at me with with one arm braced behind his head as a pillow. “No,” I said. “I get… burned out.” “Yeah… I think we should go with our own group this year.” Ronan doesn’t go down to San Diego with his cousins anymore for Independence Day. Ronan tried my sesame udon before we left the park. “Good job.” Except he only ate the bell pepper, because I’d told him to taste it. Oopsies. Upon the second bite, udon noodles and all, he suggested marinading the noodles a few hours ahead.

Ronan forgot to release the hand brake, and right when he did as he drove, a siren sounded. He looked like his heart stopped, so I rubbed his shoulder. I hope his brakes are alright. I made a note to check with him this Saturday about it. On the freeway, Ronan noted that it would be a full moon tonight. We marveled at how artificial the sun looked.

Ronan and I discussed Hunter, who wants a gamer girl that looks nice. “But what if she asks the same of him?” I blurted out. Anyone else might have deemed my question rude, but Ronan merely laughed, tapping the wheel with his palm. “You should ask him.” I expressed my doubt that Hunter gets the chance to really reflect on these things. “Then this’ll be his opportunity,” Ronan said.

Ronan also suggested I ask Hunter why the latter is nice to me. He started to say it, but stopped. “Nah, it’ll sound weird.” I pinched a part of his shirt from his shoulder, gently nudging him. “Come on, say it… Oh, I think I get it. Does it have to do with my gender?” “Well, no…” Ronan finally relented. “It’s because he has an Asian-girl fetish. Just like Jared. That’s why he’s [Jared] so nice to you guys.” “He’s nice to me? Gosh, I never noticed.” “Well, he’s nicer to you than he is to me.” Ronan’s observation on Jared at the tea house outing last December shed insight on the strangeness of it all. Jared only spoke to Ronan if Ronan was speaking to Monica. “It’s like he’s scared I’ll … do something … I dunno.” Well, Ronan has an eye for these things, certainly more than I do. I used to think that perhaps Jared isn't so open with everyone because of his self-esteem issues.

Got flashed by a kid at Downtown Disney. That was funny. At first I thought he’d been embarrassed by me laughing at his breakdancing, until he raised his shirt to expose his bare chest and stomach without breaking eye contact with me. I felt the heat surge in my cheeks as my jaw dropped. Looking over at Ronan, I emitted a nervous laugh because I didn’t know what else to do. Ronan was chuckling as well, his eyes twinkling in amusement. “He loves you.”

It was quite an experience watching the fireworks with Ronan. The show was longer than I expected. At every shooting star, we were both convinced that it was over… only to realize there were more displays next, each all the more elaborate and vibrant. The finale was breathtaking.

I didn’t want to go home once we were back at Ronan’s driveway, so I just stood there talking to him for a while. He chuckled gently when I said I was reluctant to leave, not unlike how someone reacts to a young, perhaps adorable child. I didn’t want our time together to end, though we’d been out the entire day. He had asked if I wanted him to drive me home, but I said, “Don’t waste your gas.” I almost could not hear his “okay,” so guttural and low it was. He knew that I needed to rely on my own strength sometimes because I feared the thought of overly depending on another person. It wasn’t until later that I realized where this sudden reassurance came from, though. Ronan had wheeled my bike out for me, something Hunter usually did. Ronan showed me the solar-powered lights to the side of his house. He has some in front of his house as well, though of different hue and size. “Well, today was fun,” I said. Ronan nodded at me, his jaw muscles crinkling as his eyes softened. “I’m surprised you asked me to go to the park today,” I said. There was this flash of compassionate affection in Ronan’s eyes that I did not anticipate. It lingered in his eyes as we spoke in the darkness. Talked a bit before Ronan said he’d head in to help his mom cook. He wrapped me up in a hug. “We could go shopping, if you want,” he told me. This was in reference to preparing for the bonfire at Richy’s. “Okay, then.” With the clanging of Ronan’s keys behind me, I trekked off into the night on my bike. I remember something Ronan said to me the previous week. “We’re not going to leave you, Christy. You’re a good person.” And another line, from a separate conversation : “I hate breaking promises, which is why I rarely make them.”

This could be why I ran into Ronan again yesterday, on Monday. Funniest thing. He was next to me for a while, in his cubicle, before I got up and found myself face to face with him. He burst into laughter when our eyes met, of course. He had noticed me way before I detected his presence. I sat with him for a while. I guess he noticed how intent I’d been, to the point of not noticing that there was a person next to me when there were empty seats all around. “What were you doing on your laptop?” he asked, raising his brows. “Writing,” I said truthfully. “I thought you were watching ‘The Room,’ he said, mentioning the title of the movie we’d discussed over the weekend. “By the way, I thought it was called ‘The Door.’ “ I laughed, then asked how he spotted me. “I was about to go to the bathroom,” Ronan said. “But then for some reason, I felt like coming this way.” “You have ESPN or something,” I smiled; he grinned. I got up to leave for accounting class; I hooked an arm around Ronan’s neck and embraced him before I walked off to the stairs. Class, it turned out, was cancelled. I returned to spend the rest of the time with Ronan. “What took you so long?” he asked me, once I told him. “My group mate,” I said, referring to Jennifer, who had called me over. She’d been sitting outside the classroom. “She texted my old phone, and I had to tell her about the stupid story of it getting run over… so embarrassing.” Ronan chuckled. He's been doing a lot more of that lately. I was glad I could make him laugh. Chilled with him; he watched a few scenes from “The Room” on my netbook before he pushed it away. “That was so bad,” he said. “It took… six million dollars to make that. I could have done a better job.” “I know, right?” I laughed. “Now you know what I mean… it’s indescribable.” Ronan gave me his Pottermore username. We continued to talk before he fell asleep – not that I really looked, but I could tell by the change in his breathing. Poor guy also had fatigue and allergies, the former because he’d taken a nap due to a headache and altered his sleeping pattern. “I was going to wake you up in three minutes,.” I said later. I walked with him to his class, where he gave me a tight hug. “You going home now?” “Yes. I’m biking home. Bye.”
