(Hahaha…)

"So… Talk to him, then," Kasey suggested softly. "Call him, but don't freak out."

Kenzie nodded slowly, taking another deep breath. "Okay… Okay, I'll call him…"

Barry nodded "Makes sense."
Caleb continued.
"Don't make it seem like you're trying to hard. Scratch that, don't try too hard. Also, cuddling is your best friend. If you ever get into a fight, remember: it's not you VS her, it's you two VS the problem."

"Good. Now get off of my bed and call Hunter," Kasey laughed, shoving her friend playfully.

Kenzie chuckled and stood. "I'm going, I'm going!" she exclaimed, grinning as she pulled her phone out of her pocket. She made her way to the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

"Thanks Caleb."
"Anytime. You look exhausted, you should head in for an early nigh." Barry nodded. "That's– that's a good idea."

(sure
I'm dying to know what happened with Kenzie omg)

Barry hadn't stopped thinking about Kasey all day. Her room had been empty when he'd knocked on the door that morning, she'd probably left early for a class, and not seeing her had been driving him insane.
He left his last class of the day with a bit more bounce in his step than usual; he'd gotten a full seven hours of sleep last night and was greatly looking forward to his upcoming date with her. Lost in thought, he stared at the ground as he made his way back to his House of Residence.

(Lol. You'll find out eventually…
Maybe…)

Kasey was walking down the hall as she talked with McKenzie, not paying attention to where she was going. Kenzie looked up and stopped before she ran into someone and put a hand out to stop her friend from doing the same.

"Kase, stop. You're about to–" Kenzie started to say. Too late, Kasey crashed into a solid mass, dropping her books. "–run into someone…"

(wHaT)

Barry jumped in surprise when he hit something, head snapping up. "Kasey??" He immediately stepped back, grabbing her elbows to keep her from toppling over. "Sorry! Are you okay?"

(If it ever comes up again… ;)

"Bare? Hey, yeah. H-hi," Kasey stuttered with a slight laugh. "Um, yeah, I'm fine. I'm so sorry I ran into you."

(aaaaaaah)

"It's my fault, don't worry." Barry dropped down to pick her books off the floor for her, heart thumping heavily in his chest. "Uh– McKenzie, right? Hi. I'm, um… I'm Barry."

"Nono, it was mine," Kasey said as she bent down to help him.

Kenzie smiled a bit, remembering the scene she had walked into the previous night.

"It's nice to officially meet you, Barry. Please, call me Kenzie; everyone else does," she said with a slight laugh, sticking her hand out for him to shake.

Barry handed Kasey her books and stood up, heart jumping when their hands brushed.

"You too." He shook Kenzie's outstretched hand.

Kasey blushed slightly as she stood as well, an unconscious smile on her face at just being near him. Kenzie, on the other hand, was enjoying this immensely. She'd never seen her roommate/best friend to flustered around anybody.

"So… Kenzie and I were just heading to Chipotle for lunch. Care to join us?" Kasey offered quietly.

A smile practically lit up Barry's face. "I'd love to, but only if Kenzie's okay with it."
Pleasesayyespleasesayyes.

"Yeah, sure. Why not?" Kenzie said with a shrug. She blinked a couple of times and frowned, her eyebrows coming together in thought. "I'll… be right back. I have to make a quick call."

Kasey gave her friend a weird look as she rushed off. "Well, then…"

Barry furrowed his brow at Kenzie's back before turning to Kasey. "Hey." He slipped his hands into the front pockets of his jeans, clearly nervous. "How did you sleep?"

(Argh, these vloggers are so cute!!!)

"Oh! Um, pretty well. You?" Kasey asked, turning back to Barry and smiling at him.

(vloggers?)

Barry smiled back, heart pattering happily. Outside, the sun shone a little brighter. "Spectacularly well." He wanted to do nothing but take her by the shoulders and kiss her, but he held back, barely.

(YouTube video I was watching. Jess and Gabriel.)

"Good, good," Kasey said, noddingly slowly as she chewed on her lower lip. "How were your classes?"

(never heard of them sorry)

Barry shrugged, swallowing anxiously. "The same as always. Yours?" He resisted from reaching forward to cup her face in his hands, but she saw his arms twitch for a moment.

(I'm honestly not surprised. They're really funny, though. Jess is from Australia. :)

Kasey's lips twitched into a slight smirk, and she hid a laugh behind a cough. "Boring, hard, and probably going to kill me by the end of the semester."

(lol)

Barry pushed out his bottom lip in a dramatically sad expression. "I guess I'll have to be your knight in shining armour." He winced at how cringey that was. "Gah, that was cheesy. I'm never saying that again."

"Aw, no… It was cute!" Kasey laughed, taking a small step closer to him.

Barry's heart jumped and his tattoo flickered pink. God, she made him so nervous. So happy. "Well, you're cute too, so I thought the statement fit well with the situation." He put a hand under her chin.

Kasey snorted a bit and looked away with just her eyes, blushing. "Stahhhhp it…"

Barry's grin only grew. He took a step closer. "I cannot tell a lie."

(I'm reading an RP you're in, and I feel like I'm almost as concerned about it as you seem to be.)

"Oh, so you're Pinnochio now?" Kasey teased, her laughter-filled gaze returning back to him.

(The Tyler/Macha rp?)

Barry grinned. "I was hoping that I was a bit more handsome than a wooden puppet, but if you wish." He moved his hand from her chin to her cheek.

:( Yeah.)

"Well, I think so, but you're the one who said it," Kasey chuckled before going back to chewing on her lip.

(I'm freaking out omg)
(TYLERRR)

Barry tugged her lip out from under her teeth, just as he'd done last night. "Maybe I can be… That one reindeer from Frozen."
