Richard felt stupid as he was handing the napkin to Elijah. Firstly, he stared at him the whole time and probably making him feel uncomfortable, secondly he gave the napking so slowly poor Elijah thought he was dealing with a [censored] and thirdly he probably felt embarrased getting messy like that and having somebody point it out. As Elijah’s face turned red Richard took it as a sign of his thoughts being true, so he apologized. “Oh … um, sorry.”
Richard turned his face away and bit his lip in frustration. Richard knew he was a hot mess and awkward, but he was never like this with anybody. Why was this boy making him seem so stupid? Why did he mess up every sentence he spoke to him? While those thoughts ran through his mind, it was as if his subconscious brain was giving him a hint as he realized how hot his cheeks turned. To justify himself looking away so suddenly and for so long he said “This view is so beautiful and grand … It’s almost panoramic. But what really makes it shine is all the laughter from people … Something like that you don’t experience everyday.” Richard realized he managed to speak something so logical withouth messing it up while looking away, so he looked back at Elijah and figured out he was flustered. Damn I find him attractive He realized.
