Arvo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when the other had claimed that they didn't get cold easily, since uh, they seemed to be shivering already and they've only been over here like, what, five minutes or so? Though he guessed, like he had told himself a few moments before, that he'd take the jacket, since it was a very nice gesture even though Arvo felt bad taking it from the other, since they're obviously pretty cold as well.
Honestly a little bit flustered as well, but uh, he was just going to ignore that, it isn't anything it must've just been a fluke, right? I mean he wouldn't really like, m i n d but still!--

That was when Ben had caught him a bit off guard, they had suddenly scooped up both his hands in theirs, and had starts gently rubbing at his fingers with their thumb. Arvo could feel his face heat with a blush as he had tried to talk, though all that really had come what a stuttered mess of ''Um''s & ''I-I..''s, since anything else just seemed to refuse to come out.

Ben must've noticed his reaction, since he was quick to drop his hands and apologize, which had made Arvo flush even more to be honest. Oh gosh, he didn't mean it like that, he hoped they didn't think he was super freaked out by it or something-- wait, why would he even care about that? I mean, he shouldn't, shouldn't he, if he didn't like him or whatever?
Erm, whatever! He was still sure it was just a mistake, that whole soul mate thing, maybe it was just physiological, he wasn't sure. Sigh.

Anyway, he took the jacket from the other and quickly slipped it on, a small content hum following as, yeah, it was much warmer then his own rather thin hoodie. A small smile spread across his face a moment as he pulled his legs to his chest to pretty much hide himself away into the jacket, since he was small enough.
Though thats when he remembered that, oh yeah, Ben was right there and looking at him still, so he got a bit nervous again, his eyes darting to floor as he finally said something.

" ..T-Thank you. " He mumbled, he paused a second to look up from the snow covered ground to Ben, and then back to ground yet again. He then scooted closer to the other, and had leaned his head onto Ben's shoulder after a few moments of hesitation, and he was quick this time to say something just encase the other had thought what he was doing was odd.
" Uh, I think, if sit close enough and stuff, we share body heat, and it keep you somewhat warm too, yes? " He said. Totally nailed it.

Arvo was abit taken back when the other had turned so suddenly, slinging his backpack and its belongings to the floor by mistake. Arvo jumped and he immediately drew his hand back and held it tight to his body.

He had thought he’d done something wrong, or that he pissed this guy off somehow, not that Ben was just kind of clumsy. So, Arvo seemed a little freaked out at first since he was stood there thinking he was about to get punched in the face. Though when they seemed just as surprised as Arvo was and cursed to themselves which made him think other wise, that it was just a mistake.

He was thankful for that, he didn’t really feel like getting the shit beaten out of him on his first day, you know? Arvo just kinda stood there in shock for a a few more moments. All tense and wide eyed, but after the general surprise had finally worn off he just shook his head with a soft sigh of, ” Sheesh! ” before he had continued on with his little ramble. About how the school didn’t help much and if he was, or at least knew Ben Paul, all that.

After Arvo was done talking about a mile a minute because of his nerves, he took in a small breath. He hadn’t even noticed one he needed one that bad until now. Okay, Okay he really needed to try and calm down. Like, theres being nervous and then theres this, and to him at least, it was a little embarrassing.

Though hey, despite the uh, pretty awkward introduction, he had finally found Ben! Which was obviously confirmed by the rather nervous seeming boy. Hm. I guess that makes two of them then, huh? Though I'll admit, Arvo got a t a d more excited then he probably should've. His face seeming to light up, the somewhat awkward smile on his face becoming a much more sincere one.

❝ Oh god, finally!-- ❞ He blurted out, cutting the other off in the middle of their own ramble. The realization not seeming to hit until a few moments later, but when it did it was pretty obvious. His cheeks had flushed a light pink color, his hands shooting up to his collar to mess with it nervously.

❝ I-I mean, uh, yes, they need do work on help, y-yes. ❞ He said, his voice seeming to gently crack half way through his sentence. He kind of trailed off on his sentence, his eyes darting off the other way to try and hide his slight awkwardness. If this worked or not is rather debatable. AKA, most likely not.

After his little out-burst though, he did listen up to Ben's little ramble. Even if he was slightly concerned with the fact they didn't seem to be b r e a t h i n g anytime during it. That and uh, some of the English words he didn't quite know were being smushed together which sounded odd. Though hey, he was sure he got the important bits of it.
Uh, hopefully anyway. I mean, even if he didn't, he was sure as hell gonna keep nodding his head like he understood perfectly. Though the next sentence was a thing he d i d understand thankfully, one of the first he learned. Er, well, that wasn't him teaching himself curse words and insults.

Anyway, uh, he should probably stop just standing there like a idiot and not saying anything.

❝ N-Name? Oh, yes, yes, my name Arvo. Is correct. ❞

Well, it could've been worse. He almost asked for the others name again out of nerves, but thankfully stopped himself, so.

❝ I-I uh, anyway, you meant to show me around school, yes? I am unsure when that meant to happen, since I did hear bell so I not know if I wait till after you are done or?-- ❞ This whole situation was a just a huge mess of confusion, huh? Mostly just because the school didn't seem to plan out this little event very well though.

Arvo pursed his lips together absentmindedly as he walked down the school hall slowly, the short boy glanced around with a pretty confused look on his face.
This was his first day of this whole exchange student program and.. Well, they said that someone would show him around! He didn’t think he’d have to go a dang scavenger hunt to find them though.

He had thought they were going to meet up in the front office or something, but nope! They just told him their name, and a kind of vague description of what they looked like before they pretty much shoved him out into the busy school.
Uh, well, hes glad that he doesn’t actually have any classes today, because he’d be absolutely clueless. Like what, they just gonna give him a door color and a vague description of the teacher or something? S h e e s h.

As Arvo turned a corner, he had spotted a boy who seemed to fit what he was told! Also they really weren’t kidding with the ” super tall ” thing, huh? He just took another quick, nervous glance around before he made his way over to the other.
Ben hadn’t seemed to notice him at first, he was too busy digging through his bag for something, so Arvo just gave him a quick tap of the shoulder.

❝ Uh, excuse me? ❞ He said, an awkward smile spreading across his face as he spoke up, not really expecting the reaction he was going to get here in a moment.

❝ Are.. Uh, You is Ben Paul, yes? I be told that they would show around school and things, so uh.. ❞

❝ If not him, d-do know him? I sorry, was not given much help with find them and uh.. ❞

After the door had been slammed into his face and he had let a loud yelp of pain, he had stuck his hands over the side of his face. That was kinda the place that took the most blunt force of it, so. Well, I guess that’s one way to make a first impression on someone, huh? He didn’t mind too much though, he was sure it was just a accident, plus he guessed thats what he getted for sitting right by the door like that.

He looked up at the other when they had gasped after noticing what they did. They seemed really nervous and surprised, maybe a little embarrassed too. They were stuttering up a storm and and he swore if the guys eyes went anyway wider they'd pop out of his head. They were probably guessing that Arvo might be a little peeved, for multiple reasons. Though honestly he was just glad he finally showed up despite the not-so-nice introduction. Arvo just gave the other a awkward smile before he tried to get back onto his feet. When had stumbled onto his feet he just absentmindedly went back to rubbing his cheek. It wasn't even hurting anymore, it was more a nervous thing now and he just hasn't noticed yet.

" U-Uh! No, no, is okay! Is.. Is just face, not is like important, right? " He said, trying to make a joke to calm the other down and lighten the mood just a little. Hes not completely sure it was working though. Though hey! He was finally going to get shown around, at least! There was going to slightly less of a chance of him totally getting lost in this school tomorow when he starts classes. So that was good, even if this did end up being like s u p e r awkward.

” So, you is Jack then, yes? Well uh, nice to meet, despite the.. Door thing.. ” He said, nervously just sticking out his hand towards him.. Would be shaking their hand be weird? Like, was that too formal or something? Well, too late now he guessed because he had already stuck his hand out, so he kind of just had to hope. Though honestly, despite his worries, it probably wasn't that big of a deal.

Don't look at the clock. Don't look at the clock, you just looked at it two seconds ago! Staring at the clock is just going to make time by go faster-- Fuck he looked! Ugh, he had been sat in the office for like, four hours though. When exactly was this guy planning to show up? Did he skip out, did he forget? He hoped not, because this school was huge and he didn't want to get lost trying to find his way to class or something. He tried to ask if maybe one of the office ladies could do it, but they all said they were too busy. Busy with what he'll never know, they all just seemed to type a lot, maybe flip through some files and then type some more, like what are they even doing?

Sigh, anyway, and he obviously couldn't show h i m s e l f around, so he was just kind of stuck right now which s u u u u c k e d.

Arvo d I d finally get the bright idea that maybe pacing around the room like the nervous idiot he is wasn't really helping the matters. He just paused, took a breath and made his way over to the wall near the door to make himself comfortable on the ground. Maybe playing with his phone would distract him or so, not like talking to anyone here would do him any good. He had tried to ask how long the boy would be, but he got the same answer everything.

That he'd only be a few more moments. Well, you know what, Arvo was pretty sure three hours is a little more then a '' few moments ''. He shook his head, trying not to get frustrated at this school a l r e a d y, he just got here! He'd give a few days at least, you know? He sighed as he leaned on the wall, and slid all the way down until he hit the floor, then taking off his backpack to start digging through it.

Huh, well theres his mp3 player? If only he had headphones. Maybe if that other guy even comes by he can ask him if he has any spare earbuds or something. Books, books, more books. Notebook. Ugh, why he'd even bring this again? He was told he didn't even have to do any work today.

…

Oh right, because he had a panic attack about the idea that they lied and he would have to do class but he would have nothing and everyone would hate him. Yeah that happened, thankfully Natasha was around to help calm him dow-- Oh hey his phone!! Hell yeah man, maybe he can text Tanner or something, he hadn't talked to her in awhile. That or like, play Candy Crush-- SLAM.

Well. Okay one, ow that was his face, door. Two, the kid that was meant to show up him around finally showed up finally! Annndd had busted into the room in a panic since he was late and slammed the door in Arvo's face in the process. Though thats what he gets for sitting there honestly, so.

“ OW! “ Arvo squeaked out in pain, since that door had slammed into him pretty hard honestly. Thhaaats gonna leave a mark later.

" T-Thank you. " He said sheepishly as he scooted closer to the other, and yeah, he did feel a little warmer now. I mean, it wasn't like he was totally warm now, but anything heat seems good when you've been freezing your ass off for like an hour. I mean, He still couldn't feel his fingers well, but he was sure that feeling would go away. Uh. Hopefully. He really didn't feel like getting frost bite.

Though at least Arvo's face felt a lot warmer, though I mean that was just because he was flustered and it made him blush. He just hoped that the other couldn't see it, that it was too dark or something. Yeah, hes just going to tell himself that to make him feel better because the blushing was kind of embarrassing in itself.

Arvo's itching immediately stopped when the other told him that story about the girl. His face twisted up in disgust and he quickly took his hand away from the burn. " Gross. " He mumbled under his breath, obviously not liking the sound of that I guess. He went quiet when the other did, not seeming to mind the silent much. I mean, he kind of a quiet person in general, so he was used to it. He did look up when he heard the laughter from around the fire, he couldn't hear what they were saying though. He then looked to Ben again, smiling slightly again.

" Those p-people, besides angry man, seem nice. Is nice to hear people laugh at least. I wish could met under other situation though. " He said, breaking the silence.

Arvo wasn't even talking to Ben at that point, he was more talking to himself. He forgot that Ben could even hear him, kind of just off in his own little world. He was quickly taken out of it when Ben said that he'd try and find him some water to help, honestly he just got a little embarrassed since he didn't even notice he was speaking aloud then. " O-Oh-- N-No, No, You should no have to worry, is okay. I-I was more talk to self there, is alright. " He said, his face quickly flushing redder and redder as he continued to talk. It got to the point he just, quickly looked to the ground again in the hopes the other hadn't noticed that as well.

They sat there in silence a few more moments, mostly because Arvo was too embarrassed to say much at that point. Though Ben must've noticed his shivering or something, because he then offered Arvo the jacket he was wearing, which did make him look up at least. The offer was tempting, the jacket the other was wearing did look a hell of a lot warmer then his, but.. Then he'd just feel bad since the other would be freezing. Maybe he'd just.. Take it if they insisted but if they didn't he'd leave it at that.

Yeah uh, lets go with that.

" O-Oh.. But that mean you be very cold, since also sitting over here. I no want to make you freeze either, so. "

By The Glowing Light

Okay, Arvo would be lying if that didn't make him a bit flustred. I mean, he wouldn't mind that honestly, he was freezing and other looked pretty warm. He guessed that randomly cuddling up to a stranger would be pretty odd though, so he just shook his head slightly. " N-No is okay, though um, is okay if come closer? " He asked nervously, his voice shaking as he spoke. " I-Is cold, a-and would be warmer that way, y-yes? " He asked, before carefully scooting himself closer to the other, trying to figure out if it was alright or not. He didn't want to make the other uncomfortable, so.

Arvo sighed under his breath after he set his hands back in his lap, itching at the rope burn that was left on his wrists. It wasn't as bad as it could be, but it certainly wasn't pleasant. He was just glad to be free though, even if he knew it wasn't going to last long before someone noticed and put him right back into his binds. He tried to just not think about it though, it'd honestly just make him feel worse then he already does, so. " Yeah, is itchy and uncomfy. Not very nice. " He said, shaking his head, " Is okay though, no worry, again is not like you did it, so no feel bad okay?

Arvo didn't really mind the silence, he found it kind of nice if anything, since the day had been mostly filled with screaming and all. Though he did look up when the other clear their throat and spoke up again, asking if he was okay. He wasn't sure why, but it hit him kind of hard, it reminded of everything that happened before. He had tried to just repress it, but it didn't really work obviously. The small smile on his face disappeared, he sighed under his breath as well.

" ..I-I guess. Is not like there is much to do for it now. "

" ...I hope we find water that is no frozen soon though. I still have her blood on me, I no like it.. " He mentioned, his voice quietening when he did.
