Homecoming

<div align=center>Hadrian supposed they would, a lot of zoos had sections with animals like pigs and goats and little furry bunnies you could stroke. He liked rabbits, he thought it was funny to watch them hop around, they had cute little twitchy noses that made him laugh. "I hope so, I like rabbits." He laughed softly, and rubbed the back of his neck. Hadrian thought he'd seen the zoo before, he didn't know how big it was, but he was sure it was there. He nodded, confirming that he did indeed know where the zoo was. Or even if he didn't they would wander around until they ended up finding it.

You're sure this is a date? Hadrian nodded, "yeah, it's a date date." He shrugged, "you're cute, I like you," a small smile crossed his face, he lifted a hand and ruffled her hair affectionately. Perhaps he'd meant to miss his history exam after all, his mind flashed back to the book Ania had said she had been reading when they had met in the library. Strange how things happen. Hadrian shook his head a little, thoughts like that didn't often cross his head. "Therefore why shouldn't it be a date date?" He asked with a smile.</div>

<div align=center>The boy tittered very softly and might have blushed just a little bit, it was strange for a girl to make him react like that, he generally didn't get nervous around girls, he was experienced, but apparently all that experience when out the window when he came across a girl that he actually liked rather than one he just wanted to sleep with. That thought sounded so mean to all the other girls he'd met in his head, but Hadrian couldn't help his personality. Besides, he hadn't even touched another girl for the best of four months. He hadn't wanted to. "Cute?" He asked, "thank you."

Hadrian considered the question for a moment, "chocolate," he said after a moment, "oh, I like strawberry things too, though." Though that mostly went for yogurt and ice cream. "What about yours?" He asked, he remembered Ania saying that she liked to bake, and he also remembered that she liked candy. He supposed most people liked candy though, maybe she had a love for it that exceeded everyone else's. She's sweet enough. He laughed to himself, and ran a hand through his hair. Valentines day has crossed his mind, too, though only briefly, he'd more than likely end up doing something nice for her, though what that thing might be, he really didn't know.</div>

<div align=center>"If I came in a flavour?" Hadrian laughed, he wondered what he'd taste like, bitter he would have expected. No one would want to eat Hadrian flavoured candy, "really? I bet you'd be nicer." He remembered her saying a little while ago, or at least he thought she had, that she wasn't a people person. She was nice enough though, he would have taken her for good at being around people. Hadrian wasn't all that good, he never knew what to say to people, he struggled to keep conversations up most of the time. He struggled to even do that with his friends. Most of them were just smoking and gossip buddies though. He hadn't told Ania he smoked. That put a lot of people off, he found.

Hadie laughed, "we can drive, if you want." He offered, he'd parked his car somewhere near the school, he always did. "It'd be a lot quicker?" Hadrian didn't take public transport, buses were always too crowded and there was never anywhere to sit. Crowds didn't so much scare Hadrian, they just made him feel a little bit uncomfortable, claustrophobic was probably the right word to use. "I will buy you a mountain of sweets, or a castle." He chirped, "a castle for a princess."</div>

<div align=center>The image of Ania perched upon a mountain of sweets made him laugh softly. Hadrian had absolutely no idea what was going on in her head, he liked her a lot though, and the thought of that made him blush just a little, though you probably wouldn't have been able to tell. Hadrian didn't like people in general. It was confusing and strange when someone came along that he began to get steadily attached to, he supposed it was nice, too, in some way. He shook his head and pushed his thoughts away, she was probably just being nice. He didn't even know if she liked boys.

Going by car sounded like a good idea. His car was warmer than the bus, and cleaner too. If there was one thing Hadrian really didn't like, it was copious amounts of dirt, and public buses were full of germs. It didn't take very long for the pair to make their way down the hallway and away from the dorms. Hadrian's car was parked where he'd said it would be, it was expensive looking with a dark, black paint. It gave the impression that he loved it a lot, it was well looked after to say the least. He drew a set of keys from his pocket, and unlocked the door. "Alright. Let's go."</div>
