I actually love animals.
💜

Ok...so it's the handsome blonde anime woodland prince. The second test. 

Tan looks at the book which has fallen in his lap, the novel he had completed. He gets up from the corner he had found himself in and heads for the shelf to return the book, knowing that there will be two eyes behind the books on the shelves.

He reaches up and pulls out the book, and there were the eyes. It's just for that split second they gaze at each other, with the other pair of eyes, averting their gaze first, as before, but he stays a moment longer to see if the eyes will return their gaze...and they do. This was now not a one sided affair. Tan had now picked up the gauntlet laid down before him. 

Like before, he settles into reading the book, purely now just for show as he knew what was going to happen in the plot.  Then the canvas shoes stop in his peripheral vision. He wonders this time if he should look up. Does he need to play hard to get just a little?

"Excuse me." 

Tan raises his head slowly, taking in the blue converse, the dark loose fitted denim jeans, the minty green hoodie. His eyes finally rested on his head. Hair, bleached a baby blonde, swept to one side in an anime fashion. Two almond eyes, a dreamy colour. Yes, they were still as dreamy as before...and of course there was the array of nature surrounding him.

He answers with a clear "yes?" 

"I see you have volume four." The guy points to the book in Tan's hand. 

Tan looks down at the newly opened novel. "Uh yeah." He lets a weak smile leave his lips before looking down again at his novel.

"It's good." The man continues, making Tan look up again. 

He sees the rabbits hopping around him and he has to ask. "Did you know that you have animals surrounding you?"

The guy smiles a very cute smile. "You see them because you are attracted to me. Welcome to my aura." 

"Your aura?"

"Yes my aura. What I radiate when you see me. I am cute, beautiful, mysterious like a mystical forest being so this is what you see." 

Tan again looks at the bluebird resting on the guy's shoulder. He then gets a thought. "Do I have an aura?"

"Depends." The guy says, now resting his weight a little on the nearby shelf. 

"On what?" Tan asks nervously.

"On whether I find you attractive." 

"You must find me attractive. You were looking at me through that bookshelf." Tan points to the shelf they were standing by.

"I might have been looking at the book you were reading." The guy says, raising an eyebrow.

"Liar!" Tan says, now getting a little closer to the male,  making the bluebird on his shoulder fly away. 

"Prove me wrong." The guy says, now standing a little straighter. 

Tan looks up at the slightly taller male, his hair swept beautifully over the one eye. Just revealing that sharp almond stare. It was true that he found the male a total vision and worthy of every creature which surrounded him, but how on earth would he even get the guy to see something like that around him?

Tan swallows hard as he takes a step closer...Am I actually doing this right now? Right in the middle of the library? It seems he was as he takes two hands to cup his own face and pulls the cutest pout he had ever pulled in his life! Not only was it his cutest pout, it was the one and only time he had ever done it. 

The guy looks at him as Tan's eyes go all big and innocent looking. And then it happens.

Meow, meow... What? That's my aura? A kitten? I wanted a lion!

Seemingly from out of nowhere there appears a tiny fluffy white kitten by his feet. The guy looks down at the little kitty, who was circling around Tan's leg with its tail up. "Aww, it's so cute!" He says. His heart warms at the fluffy creature. "You are just adorable." He adds, reaching down to stroke the super soft fur. 

"Is that me or the kitten?" Tan questions as he finds himself actually pleased he had achieved at least something on his first attempt. 

"Well, you will know for sure if you kiss me." He says taking a gallant step forward.

"Kiss you?" Tan says with surprise. This wasn't in the script. "Am I not supposed to come back in two days?" 

"All roads lead to a kiss. You can't escape it. You can kiss me now or kiss me in two days, but we will kiss." The handsome blonde anime woodland Prince smiles, showing his very white perfect teeth, with the addition of a twinkle and the sound of a tiny bell coming from somewhere. 

Tan couldn't lie to himself, it wouldn't be the worst thing that would ever happen to him. To kiss a guy straight out of a webtoon or a manga comic...he may have fantasised once or twice about such a thing. 

"Ok. We can kiss, y'know if you insist." Tan sighs, such a chore. Meow. He glances down to see the cat circle around the pair. 

"Great...now take a step back." The handsome blonde woodland anime prince says, making Tan furrowed his brow in confusion. 

"But I thought you said you wanted to kiss me?"

"I do, but in a cute way. Goodness me. This is the cuteness test. Haven't you figured that one out already?" He laughs. 

Had he figured it out?...Tan had given up figuring out this place back in room 69! 

"You just have to hold your hands together behind your back and lean forward. It needs to be chaste." The handsome blonde anime woodland prince instructs as he gets himself into position. 

Tan rolls his eyes at the silly rules of cuteness, especially after sharing a bed with Samuel smothered in baby oil, but he does as he is instructed. 

"Ok, after three we lean forwards and we let our lips touch, but only for two seconds, otherwise we don't make a heart." The handsome blonde anime woodland prince says as if everything hinged on the moment.

"Ok, got it." Tan says. This cuteness test was filled with too many rules for his liking. 

"After three ...one ...two ...three…" Both the handsome blonde anime woodland prince and Tan lean forward, eyes wide open so as to see the target. A chaste touch to each other's lips occurs and suddenly out of nowhere, a bright red heart appears over their heads, which suddenly pops, leaving a confetti of hearts to fall on them both. 

"Nice work!" The handsome blond anime woodland prince says as he watches the heart shaped confetti fall to his feet. "You made our heart burst with love. You passed!" 

"I passed?" Tan says as he stands up a little straighter. But he doesn't get confirmation as suddenly the world around him once again is shifting and changing, as Tan now finds himself stood at the top of a flight of stairs. 

Ahh...time to bump into someone...
