Unhealthy Obsession
Lylah walks into her psychology class, scanning the room for an empty seat – her eyes land on a familiar face.
Kaius Grey/ ML
*Catches her gaze, smirking slightly*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
* Walks over to the empty seat beside him, dropping her bag loudly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Sitting next to me. You've finally admitted you're following me, Sassy Pants.
*Smirks, scooting over slightly*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Following you? No, just escaping your fans.
*raises an eyebrow*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Same difference – they all want my attention... but yours is my favorite kind.
*grins*
Professor writes on the board:
Today's Topic:
Attraction vs. Infatuation
Case Studies:
- Unhealthy Obsession
- Mutual Interest
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Think we're about to become a case study.
*Whispers to him, eyes fixed on the board*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Already ahead of the curriculum, Sassy Pants – we're on 'unhealthy obsession' levels.
*whispers, voice low and teasing*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Rolls her eyes, glancing at him briefly before facing front again*
Professor
Attraction vs Infatuation – can anyone tell me the difference?
Professor
*Raises his hand slightly, then points to Lylah*
Professor
You explain – since you're attracting my attention constantly.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Attraction is physical – Infatuation is obsessive... like staring at someone in class.
*smirks*
*Whole Class turns to them*
Professor
Exactly, Miss...?
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Lylah Rivers. And he's staring again.
Prpfessor Laughs softly, class laughs louder.
Professor
*Clears throat, continuing lesson*
Professor writes on board again:
Examples of Infatuation:
- Excessive thinking
- Constant staring
- Compulsive desire to interact..
Kaius Grey/ ML
Professor just described my morning thoughts.
*leans in close, whispering*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Your morning thoughts should worry you – mine were about ignoring you.
*whispers back*
Professor
Now, class discussion– discuss infatuation signs with your neighbor.
Kaius Grey/ ML
Perfect assignment – my partner is already infatuating me.
*turns to Lylah with a sly grin*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Only if you want to discuss your obvious symptoms – with your doctor... or me, reluctantly.
*raises an eyebrow*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Reluctant partner preferred – my symptoms worsen around you, Sassy Pants.
*laughs softly, leaning in closer*
Professor
How's discussion going here?
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Enlightening, Professor – he admits his symptoms, I'm diagnosing obsession
*smiles sweetly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Doctor Rivers here thinks she's immune – but blushes contradict her diagnosis.
*chuckles*
Professor
Fascinating case study indeed...
*walks away after saying*
Professor
You all will be grouped together with your neighbor for debate on this assignment.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Eyes widen slightly *
Kaius Grey/ ML
Victory – Professor just assigned us together... for debates.
*whispers*
Author
Together here means "on the same topic but one person will speak in favor of it while the other will be against it"
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Temporary victory – I'll still crush you in debates, Football Star.
*Glares at him*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Looking forward to your attempts, Sassy Pants – debates start tomorrow... tonight, want to discuss strategy?
*grins confidently*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
You think I'd study with you – voluntarily?
*raises an eyebrow*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Not study – discuss... over coffee. Again.
*leans in closer, voice low and teasing*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Only if you promise to bring your A-game – and a referee for my eye-rolling.
*smirks*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Referee on standby – coffee shop down street from my dorm... 7 pm work for you?
*laughs loudly, pulling out his phone*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Nods slowly, surprising herself by agreeing*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
7 pm. But don’t think this is a date, Football Star.
*smirks*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Wouldn’t dare think that… yet.
*grins mischievously*
