Work Text:
Nuala had a crush on a classmate from senior year. Morpheus Endless. And she wanted from her brother to introduce them. But he always got away with something. So Nuala could only dream of meeting her secret love.
***
Morpheus entered the university library. He took a book from the shelf and hid at the last desk.
“Are you here again?” Lucienne smiled.
"I have to run away from them, as if you don't know them," he replied, opening the book, making it clear that he didn't intend to continue the conversation.
“I’ll let you, alone” Lucienne nodded and returned to the counter.

Nuala entered the library, her arms full of books. And she was wondering what else to borrow when she caught sight of a figure sitting at the last table. It was him, he was so close. She couldn't take her eyes off him. Lucienne noticed where she was looking and smiled.
***
Morpheus felt eyes on him and lowered the book he was reading. His gaze met Nuala's.
Their eyes met and Nuala's breath caught. She didn't want to break that eye contact when Morpheus smiled and returned to his book.
Nuala walked out of the library feeling like she was in seventh heaven. It was just eye contact, but it was enough for her. For now. She could only hope that something more would develop from just eye contact.
