WHO: Emi and Alfred WHEN: Oct. 5th, Tuesday morning WHERE: LU Library WHAT: Tutoring-turned-bonding session. With angst and sudden, embarrassing revelations.
Alfred hadn't slept last night. Way too scary, even with the lights on. He was scared he'd fall asleep, have the same damn nightmare and wake up sweating and almost in tears and not have Matthew there to tell him sleepily that it was okay. But he knew Mattie wasn't going to be there, that he'd stumble into that room and find it empty.
His restlessness showed in the large bags under his eyes and he shuffled into the library rubbing at his face, carrying two coffees. Spotting Emi, he hurried over to her table, setting them down, pushing one towards her.
"If you had the same night I did," he mumbled, "You need this..." Reaching into his pockets, he pulled out a few sugars and creamers, placing them beside the proffered cup before grabbing his own coffee and sipping it for a minute.
He watched her writing, pulling his chair over and sitting next to her, leaning heavily on the table. "Numbers?" he asked wearily.

Catching a whiff of what smelled like coffee, Emi glanced up, only to spot a sudden flash of blond hair and...surprisingly dull blue eyes standing across from her.
"Ah, yeah, thanks," she mumbled, fingers wrapping around the cup as she flashed Alfred a tired yet grateful smile. Carefully mixing in her preferred amount of sugar and cream, she took a sip and sighed lightly. "Not bad."
At his sudden inquiry, she looked down at the piece of paper before nodding. "Mmhm, you're a bit behind everyone else, so we're going to cram in a lot today." Emi paused suddenly, biting into her bottom lip as she looked away. "B-But, ah, how are you feeling...?"

"How am I feeling?" Alfred smiled, "Pretty lame... I just wish we would've had a proper goodbye. Y'know? Just like you n' Juan he just got up and left." He slumped against the table, burying his head in his arms for a moment, taking the time to collect himself.
A minute past and he was sure he wasn't going to freak-out so he sat up, pulling the sheet towards him. "Uno," he started, "Dos." Two. Twins. Two abandoned twins.
Emi flinched at the sudden mention of her brother and Matt, her grip on the cup tightening as she glanced down. Teeth digging into her bottom lip, Emi gave a small hum of agreement, not trusting herself to speak as she felt the all too familiar sting in her eyes.
Letting out a shuddery breath, she looked up as he suddenly stopped, brow furrowing in confusion as she hastily wiped away the forming tears.
"W-Wha," She paused, clearing her throat. "What is it? Is my writing messy or-?"
