Finding Friends~ {OPEN}

[Feliciano Vargas]

Feliciano gleamed brightly, as he walked into the doors of the cafe, roaming his eyes around the area. His first day in the university, and Feliciano was already out searching for new people to meet; and to say the least, it was going to be quite hard for the happy-go-lucky Italian to do so. Because first off, the Italian missed the orientation. It wasn't like he didn't want to go, but it was the reason that he forgot to go. Normally he could be actually serious on when it came to those sort of things, actually it was kind of important to be serious on those things like that, but the curiosity killed it once he stepped onto campus, too busy scampering around to look/find at the cute girls to explore the campus even more, enticed by everything he saw. It was very different compared to Italy. Many different diversities, and different kind of foods, areas, and types of buildings. It made the Italian grow in huge enthusiasm seeing this new culture, but mostly the different types of girls. Though it wasn't really the best one to learn about, he was happy to experience something new.

But, this wasn't the most exciting thing to him about going to a international college. He was more pondering about how many new friends he could make here.The Italian smiled more, as he scampered over towards the cafe desk, to order something to drink. Now, he didn't really know where to go to meet any new people, but a few hours ago, he noticed tons of people in America, in little cafes like this talk together. So that meant he had a chance talk with someone too, right? Everyone looked nice to him anyway. So he had hope! The Italian went forward to look up at the menu. Latte, Coffee, Tea, Cappuccinos. He wasn't really in the mood for any of that. Suddenly the Italian blinked finding another beverage sprawling up, to smile blankly at the waitress.

"Ve! Can I please have some chocolate milk?" He glanced slightly at the waitress before giving a remark, "Oh and I think your really pretty, ve!" His smile widened, as he saw the girl blush, simply nodding her head, showing thanks silently, then going off to find a cup, as Feliciano quietly awaited. When she came back, Feliciano cheerfully leaned up to get it, then went down going back to spread more of his happiness to the Waitress. "Thanks a lot, ve! We should talk together sometimes! I'd like that a lot, ve. I'm looking for new friends!" Which made the waitress go red even more, and also leading somehow for Feliciano to get her number, and getting his drink for free. He would of probably lead her more on to start a conversation, but he decided not to. 'She was really nice giving me her number~ I can't wait to talk to her when she's done with work~ Eh... But I think she forgot to ask me to pay her... Oh well~ Maybe they serve drinks free here?' Thinking to himself, as he went over to the round tables to sit down, still in his joyful mood. Taking a sip of the milk, happily (also using a bendy straw he snatched from the desk as well), he simply began waiting for more people to come in. Noticing the time, this was the part of the day where he usually saw more people come into these kind of places, so he was even more content, that he was just on time and just began to wait as more people came in. Maybe he'd meet someone new here, and make friends-- or even better a best friend, he hoped alot for. And if he didn't he always had that nice waitress' number.

{Just a open, before I go to bed. It's all 'meh' but bear with me. D:}

[Heracles Karpouzi]

( oh, how I love Feliciano. XD )

Maybe a trip to the cafe is in order...

Heracles had thought to himself, as he attempted to pump out a two-page essay on major thoughts and revelations he'd had over the summer. Senior year would prove to be a killer to some, but Heracles? He loved the challenge, especially that which involved his mind, his ponderings ... though all the work that would be required wasn't exactly to his tastes. He was already halfway done with the assignment, but had no ideas for the next page - and despite how he loved to sleep and laze around, getting up and moving helped along his thought process the best. Deciding to do just that, he got up and shrugged on a plain t-shirt and dark cardigan - even the most normal of temperatures in America were just a little too chilly for his warm Mediterranean tastes.

The walk down to the cafe did prove to help his thoughts along a bit, though he was never worried in the first place. Deciding that since he'd walked all the way anyway, he might as well go into the cafe and see if he couldn't get a coffee and see if Antonio was working. The "conversations" he had with the Spaniard were always somewhat entertaining, if not completely easy on his normally overworked mind.

But it seemed he was not. Only one of the girls was working - recognizing her, Heracles offered a slight smile and greeted her by name as he ordered a black coffee. Oh well; another day, another time. At least there was no excuse to procrastinate on the project any more ... or was there? Upon spotting Feliciano sitting alone, that trademark 'confused freshman' look on his face, the Greek knew he had his distraction for the afternoon. Not one to be afraid of meeting new people, he sat down right next to the other, and offered another small smile.

"Kalimera..." he began after taking a sip of his coffee, warm Greek accent touching his words. "You must be a freshman... yes? I'm Heracles Karpouzi..." he thought of offering his hand, but then figured that it'd be too formal for someone drinking out of a silly straw. "Nice to meet you, ... ?"

[Feliciano Vargas]

(He's just him~ XD <3)

The Italian blinked slightly scanning the cafe, turning everywhere with a frown. "Ehh..." He began slowly in a pouting tone. "Maybe I came on the wrong time, ve...." Taking another sip from his straw, he quietly began to start dozing off into his thoughts. 'Hnn... Ve, I saw a lot of people in the same places like this make a lot of friends...' Feliciano slowly looked down still dazed continuing to run his thoughts. 'W-What if I can't find a friend, ve?! All these cute girls are so nice~ But I want different kinds of friends too!' Thinking back actually, the only friends he had at the moment on campus were some females he had been following around and flirting with chatting around with, when he stepped out of the bus. They were nice to him, but to Feliciano, he wanted diversity in his friend area, and as much as he loves being surrounded hanging around with girls, he needed well, a male friend too, and started to frown more thinking about having no hopes left of finding one. He had searched the campus around for others, but most looked frightening to him, so he decided not to go around them; since most intimidated him to even go near them.

But before the Italian could go into a pessimistic mode, he went back sprawling up, bringing his fists in front of him out of determination, showing a more motivated face. No matter how many times Feliciano could have his hopes down, they would always come back up, once he thought about it to himself. 'No I won't give up that easily, ve!' He loudly thought into his mind nodding his head slightly. 'I'll make a friend like everyone else too, ve! I just have to find someone who comes in!'

And as the Italian's determination began to search around the room, still sitting in the corner he widened his eyes (metaphorically of course) in a dazed look setting down his fists as he noticed another person sit down beside him. Brown hair, holding black coffee, with a small grin. Feliciano leaned up with a cheering expression after finishing scanning the other's features. This looked like a great guy he could rely on. He didn't look scary at all to him, and he also looked obviously generous. "Ciao, ve! Ciao!" Waving his hands frantically still smiling. "Ci, I am! My name is Feliciano Vargas. It's nice to meet you too, ve! Oh Oh, and you are? S-So cool, ve! You probably really smart arentchya? I just visited this school last week, so I don't know alot yet, ve~" He simply continued on to smile brightly, as he brought the subject he was hopeful to ask. "Oh! And speaking I don't know alot of people here so...I don't have alot of friends..." Widening his eyes, gleaming even more wider.

"So...You'll be one of my friends...Right, ve?~"

[Antonio Fernandez Carriedo]

[OOC; LMAO I’M PRETTY SURE I WORK HERE SO LEMME JUMP ON IN]

Normally, Antonio wasn’t late for work. He was late for class, late to parties, late to rise and late to sleep, but he was never late for work. Work meant money, and money was what Gilbert and he desperately needed to stay afloat at the college (and just living in America in general). The German’s grandfather only did so much when it came to supporting them; No one wanted to depend on an old man for the rest of their life, especially Antonio, who rarely took money from anyone and only took it sparingly from the sweet guy. 

Antonio was never late, but today had been different. The start of the new school year meant stress, busyness, and forgetfulness. Unfortunately, those were already inherent traits in Antonio, albeit small ones, so they did nothing but magnify to unwanted proportions. Gilbert always did his best to try and de-stress Antonio but... Well, that usually led to the Spaniard being even more late.

He rushed into the cafe, patting down a few wild curls on his head before sliding his apron over his head and slipping behind the counter. Thankfully, he worked with almost all women, and his good looks usually granted him a bit of wiggle room when he did something bad, like arrive late. As expected, none of the girls questioned his lateness, but they did comment on Antonio’s flushed, splotched cheeks (these were in no way an uncommon occurrence, thanks to Gilbert), and as if on cue, he turned even redder and waved off any accusations. 

After washing his hands, Antonio picked up a basin with a small amount of water and started making rounds to the tables. Normally, he was the one making the drinks, but his lateness had prevented this. He quickly made his way around, smiling to all the people he knew and promising to stop and talk to them on his break. He was doing well with not getting distracted until he came to a pair of people at a table, who were talking about the smaller of the two being new. 

Ay, he was cute. Adorable! The larger male was handsome too, but he’d seen him before quite a few times in the cafe. He couldn’t not talk to them! He set a hand on the table and leaned over, giving them both a charming smile. “I couldn’t help but overhear... You’re new here? Welcome! I see Hera beat me to the welcoming party, but I guess we Spanish are always late anyway. I’m Antonio.” He glanced up to make sure no one was looking before taking a seat. “I’m not interrupting anything, si?”

[Heracles Karpouzi]

( SWEET I WAS RIGHT IN GUESSING THAT HE WORKS AT THE CAFE. LOL OTL OTL OTL )

Heracles blinked; the immediate energy that the Italian radiated was foreign, already tiring. He'd probably need a drink to deal with him for any extended amount of time. Well, since he obviously didn't have any sort of alcohol on him, the Greek simply chose to tune most of the younger one's rambling out; he nodded blankly, hearing only every other word as he nursed his coffee silently. Eventually, as he always did, he lost himself to pondering, remembering that he had to form some sort of complete thought in order to finish his essay.

"Friends?" he asked, hearing that quite clearly - the kid was so blunt, so openly optimistic and cheery. Now that wasn't so bad about him, not at all. After a moment, Heracles' face slid back from one of quiet pondering to real friendliness. "Sure, I'll be your friend ... Feliciano ..." he nodded slowly, figuring that it wouldn't be too bad.

He was about to say something more when he heard Antonio's voice break through. Turning to him and offering a slight wave, Heracles nodded a little at what the other was saying, again not really paying much attention at all. Figuring that those two could have a grand old time chatting it up together, he returned to his thoughts and coffee, mind half-there and half-gone. If anyone asked him a question directly, he could answer, but otherwise, he was drifting off into the clouds, into the past.

[Feliciano Vargas]

[WELCOME TO THE PARTY!?]

Once heard the Greek's next words, Feliciano's grin went even wider. 'Yahoo!' He thought to himself blissfully. The Italian was so content that he finally obtained a new friend-- and with it being a senior? It couldn't possibly get any better then that. Leaning forward he brightly replied with a optimistic tone as the other was done talking; He noticed that Heracle's response was delayed, but he didn't really mind that. Anyway, what he replied with was really nice, so that probably meant he was thinking hardly on what to say! "Mm! Mm!" Nodding his head nonchalantly as he began to speak.

And when heard the confirmation of his request, the Italian couldn't help to raise his tone even more cheerful then before. "Oh really, you will? You will, ve! Yay! Grazie! I think we're going to be good friends, ve! Very good friends!" And to Feliciano, he strongly believed in that idea. The Greek was very generous to him, and he didn't look too mean like the others he saw from before. So maybe he had a chance after all.

Feliciano smiled as he leaned forward towards the Greek to show his thankfulness by giving him a soft hug then letting go quickly before noticing another figuring walking their way, hearing the voice. "Ehh?" He blinked in realization as he noticed another senior in front of them. "Ahn, Ciao, ve~! You two know each other?" He said quickly after thinking back on what the other said from before. "Mm, Mm, I am, ve~ Grazie! And it's okay if your late, ve~ As long as your here now that's all that matters, right?~ Oh! And nice to meet you too! Your not interrupting anything! My name is Feliciano, ve~ Were going to be friends too, right? I'm making alot of friends today, ve~"
