Arthur grumbled to himself as he made his way down the front stairs of the union center. He hadn't had the best of days and was not looking forward to another bus ride.

As the Brit approached said buss he noticed something of a commotion taking place at the bottom of the automatic doors. By the looks of it, a rather small forgen student had had the misfortune to stumble down the stairs and land on the unforgiving pavement.

Arthur watched with mild interest, waiting for one of the many people exiting the buss to help the poor kid up. Then realization struck, the were...laughing?

Indignation welled up inside him as he remembered the many times in his childhood when he was mocked for his "weird accent".

Before he knew what he was doing, Arthur found himself shoving his way past the rude onlookers to kneel by the Asian man just in time to catch a few papers that were attempting to escape with the breeze.

"Are you alright?"

[kimigayo_kiku]

As the wind picked up he noticed a few pieces of his work flying away, his body tensing up. He went to reach for one when it was stopped...

Kiku looked up, rather surprised to see a man next to him, crouched down and helping him. He blushed hard, moving to sit up better, quickly thrusting his books into his bag, trying to save face.

"Y.. Yes... I, It's just a scrape..." his chin was scraped up and red, a little bloody and dirty from the pavement.

Arthur was genuinely concerned now, "No, you're bleeding, that could get infected, here let me have a look at it..." Arthur moved to touch the smaller man's face, "we should get that taken care of..."

[kimigayo_kiku]

Kiku almost pulled away before stopping himself from being rude. He had never been touched that close to his mouth before. His lip trembled as he turned his head to the side, shyly.

"I-I'll... It'll be fine..." He looked close to tears.

Kiku walked behind Arthur, quietly, nervously-- he felt a bit like a prisoner despite this Brit's rather cool attitude. He looked up at the sign and blinked. "Where is this?"

[arthurthefairy]

"Just a block or so," Arthur replied glancing back at the nervous Asian trailing a bit behind him, "if you're still worrying about what happened, don't, those people aren’t worth your time."

[kimigayo_kiku]

That was not what he was worrying about at all, in fact his social faux pas back at the bus stop was so far removed from his mind that he almost for got that that was why his head was banging so much-- though being forced into a social situation hadn't helped much, however, this man seemed nice enough though...

"A-Ah, no, it's uhm, it's fine. S-so where..."

[arthurthefairy]

"We're here," Arthur smiled back at Kiku.

He held the door for his companion and found a free booth over in the corner. "So what do you like? They only have American food here unfortunately, but it actually tastes decent."
