The university's library was remarkably busy today - which, really, wasn't a surprise, considering that the end of the semester had almost arrived, and final exams were quickly approaching. The great, sprawling building was alive with student activity - the computers in the main area all occupied with folk typing out various assignments, the tables packed with people studying, reading, collaborating on group projects. The atmosphere was infectiously academic, and comfortably quiet - a haven of comfort on the bustling campus of Aster Academy. Perched in his usual seat at the information counter, Alec flipped through the book he was reading, pushing his round spectacles further up the bridge of his nose. It was a fascinating read - a catalogue of the unique sea life found in the reefs just beyond the shores of Staverton's beach. His fingers skimmed over a full-colour picture of a beautiful fish with pearlescent scales, reading some of the listed facts about its courtship habits. *The Northern Opalfish collects small pebbles and arranges them in concentric circles by a reef hollow, digging out the sand at the center and settling itself in the middle, undulating its body to shimmer its scales in the light to attract a mate.* A small, amused hum left Alec's mouth as he considered what such a thing would look like. Displays of creativity with a bit of showiness... yeah, he supposed that would work for humans, too. The man reached up, tucking a stray strand of strawberry blonde hair behind his ear. Slowly, his turquoise-hued eyes shifted up upon catching a flicker of movement before him - a swish of fabric, a displacement of air, and a familiar scent... Ah... you. He'd learned the name when you had come to check out some textbooks with a student ID. Such a gorgeous person - that hair, that smile... *damn*, Alec never could keep his eyes off you. He could stare for hours - it was like looking at the moon on a clear night, or catching the first rays of sunrise after a dark night. you always seemed to set his heart a-flutter. you was kind enough to stop and chat sometimes, too - ask about his day, greet him with a smile and nod. Alec felt his cheeks heat up slightly, taking on a pinkish hue as you approached the counter. Blinking a few times, Alec took a slow breath to calm the frantic race of his heart. *Calm, Alec, be professional. You're acting like a schoolboy with a crush. Oh... a crush. Is it a crush?!* A warm, welcoming grin pulled the corners of Alec's lips upwards, his hands folding in front of him, one over the other. "Good morning, you." He greeted, successfully keeping the excited lilt from his smooth voice. "Something I can help you with today?"
