A smile replaced his worried line and he blinked away to stare away from her.
“Well, I thought this too but-” Shin pointed at where he was looking at and the girl shifted her sight in that general direction, noticing two figures approaching them swiftly. “It seems like this isn’t the case.”
Surprise filled her mind as she had really thought that they were the last ones for the ceremonial event and her shock grew a little more when said individuals got close enough to properly see the details of their appearance.
One was a Cat Prime that was giddily being the lead of the duo, dragging his own bags in his hands with ease while following closely behind was a human, also a male, quite winded by the paced speed they were both going at.
The human had short, curly dark-hair and a pair of light-blue eyes that just looked a little… mesmerizing.
He was wearing an open half-sleeved red jacket with a white shirt and a pair of dark-brown baggy pants.
“We did it!” The Cat exclaimed with a happy grin, looking like he had run through a lengthy marathon. “See! I was right about parking that far- Wait, where are you going?!”
While the one that spoke up managed to stop just before getting too close to the two waiting Primes, the human continued to run. Eyes closed, face growing red at the straining rush, it was clear he had failed to realize that they had arrived at their destination.
Hope would have pondered further on this, yet she soon had to handle another issue about this mistake. With the young man running towards her, the best way out was stepping to the side and allow him to stop when he was too tired. It should have been easy, and while she had ended up neglecting some of her training either because of singing practice or… being uninterested by training itself, the Gazelle Prime was experienced to move just a step away and try to avoid this awkward situation in the making.
Sadly for her plan, fate had decided to mess up with her decision.
Just as she prepared to go through with this, a rock decided to make its presence known to her as she started moving. Her footing quickly unbalanced as she forced herself to not fall because of the stone on the ground, Hope successfully managed to keep a stable posture.
Only for a certain human to go and crash onto her.
Panic exploded within her heart as she was pushed on the ground. Her worries of hurting herself urged her to flail her arms around in clear fright, but eventually her concerns vanished as quickly as it came to be. Instead, Hope felt her mind go blank and her green eyes open wide as they both landed on the ground.
A strong hand was carefully cushioning the back of her head, making sure that she didn’t get too hurt on that important bit of her body. The human’s eyes were as wide as hers, but for some reason his face just looked so close.
She felt fireworks, the gracious bells from a church and- Oh no. Oh nonononono!
And yet the reality of the situation struck her right on her face. It was the end of the world, the beginning of true chaos- the most unexpected surprise she could have gotten out of this first day away from home. Gone were her meticulous plans in getting together with Shin as the scene was surely going to put a damper to any effort from her part.
While she didn’t get hurt by the fall, she still ‘lost’ something to the panicking young man standing over her. Her lips traitorously ignored her inner contempt as they happily accepted him, and the young woman felt a shiver as the kiss remained unbroken for some time. It felt wrong and yet so right; stupid but still so damn right.
Her mind went more awry the more she debated about it, and she felt her knees weaken at the suddenness of this move. She knew the human hadn’t intentionally meant it, but that didn’t exactly spare him from being this much good a kisser- no wait, this shouldn’t even be it. He wasn’t putting himself into it, and the smooch felt more of a chaste contact than else. No tongue, no steaminess, and no-
“Hehe, they sure became friends~,” A voice called out. Hope stared to the side, her sight still unfocused, but she still recognized the origin of that tease being the cat Prime… and the one nodding in mirthful agreement being Shin.
The realization returned with a vengeance, but before she could do anything about it, she was beaten to the kiss breaking procedure by the one that had unwittingly started it.
“I-I’m sorry.”
…
Speechless as she was, Hope really didn’t have a response to that. He sounded so honest, and she could tell he didn’t have enough foresight to get through with this if it was staged. No, this was a Class-A Trip ‘n’ Kiss situation, one that was as absurd as it was rare.
“I-It’s alright,” She said, sounding uncertain of it, “An accident- Y-yeah, this was an accident.”
The young man nodded, and she nodded back… only for him to nod again and for her to nod once more at him.
“Are you two done? You know, making new friends is nice but we have an initiation ceremony to be at,” The Cat Prime pointed out, drawing them both from their confused exchange.
“Y-Yes, I… I’m Frankie.”
He stood up, lending a hand so she could get off the ground properly.
“Hope,” She quietly introduced herself.
“Nice to meet you both. I’m Miles-”
“Shin,” The young blond interrupted.
“And we really need to get in before we get kicked out.”
That very sentence seemed to wake them both from their distracted self, with both Miles and Shin taking the charge to lead them in while Frankie was still ‘helping’ her by holding tightly on her hand with his. Part of her wanted to call him out on that but… his palm felt rather warm. And she needed to think quietly about what had just happened.
I-It wasn’t like she was actually liking it enough to ignore this- she only needed a moment to recollect her thoughts and elaborate a response to it all. What an odd beginning for her first day here at Prism University and…
The day wasn’t over just yet!

What if fate had decided to go for the ‘strong shove’ instead of the soft push to try and get these two close?
Comment/Post/Review if you have any suggestions for other omakes. I will check if those are doable and once in a while I will drop two omakes at once with the proposed ideas.
