I'd say she's clumsy because she's falling in love- but she's not

Location: Courtyard
Summary: Tomoko has new shoes! .... New shoes that she can't tie. Cuteness happens.
Warnings:

Tomoko had been very pleased to get new shoes. After....after that nightmare, she wanted something easier to move around in, and her boots weren't doing it. So now she had cute, adorable pink sneakers- and a huge problem. No matter how much she tried- she couldn't remember how to tie her shoes. Or figure out on her own. She kept bunching the shoelaces together and yanking and moving them around in circles, and nothing happened. She couldn't get them to do work the way they should, no matter how hard she tried.

So she ended up just going out for a walk in the courtyard with her shoelaces completely untied. She had fallen twice on her way out, and she was being very careful not to fall again. She stopped to think for something else a moment though, and one foot went down on the other foot's shoelace. When she went to try and take another step, it ended with her on the ground.

"No, I'm not hurt. T-thank you for your concern though." She paused, leaning back against a pillar, and glancing down at her shoes, then looking back at Romeo.

"They're alright."

[myblueskies]

Romeo smiled, he was glad she wasn't hurt from her fall. "They are untied!" He said in response to her claim that the shoes were all right, "You will trip again!" He wondered if maybe she didn't know how to tie her shoes and was embarrassed. "Do you need help tying them?" He gave another smile.

[hairwag]

Tomoko gave Romeo a weary smile in return to his smile. He seemed nice enough, but sometimes looks were deceiving. "I know they're untied." She fidgeted slightly. "I... don't remember how to tie them. I know how. I just can't."

[myblueskies]

Romeo nodded, he understood. It was like reading. He knew how to read but here he couldn't remember even one letter. "Oh! I can help you."

He knelt down in front of her and biting his tongue slightly in concentration he began to tie the first shoe. "You tie it in a knot, then make two bows and twist them round each other like this," he looked up at her to see if that had helped her remember.

Tomoko looked down, watching him with complete concentration on what he was doing. She understood for a moment, but then just like that, it was gone again.

"Um... Okay." She might as well pretend she had figured it out. She didn't know what kind of boy he was, or if he'd have a temper figuring out that she forgot again already.

[myblueskies]

Romeo gave another smile and tied the other shoe quickly. "There, you won’t trip now."

He looked at her again with another smile; she was sort of familiar. "You're one of Miss Sora's princesses aren't you!" He finally realised where he had seen her before, Miss Sora had a lot of princesses and it was sometimes difficult to remember them all. Romeo didn’t know this girls name but he had seen her with miss Sora a few times.

She tried once more to remember what he was doing with the other shoe, but that didn't work out well either. She kept frowning at her feet, until he brought up Sora, which brought a smile to her face. She knew she was supposed to be subtle, but she couldn't help it. Besides, things were different here.

"Oh! You know Himoto-san?" She asked, before nodding quickly. "I am."

[myblueskies]

Himoto... Yes that was the name after Sora's on the magic walls, it was strange to Romeo that so many people at this school had two names. Most the people Romeo knew only had one name, only people like doctor Casella or noble people had more than one name.

Romeo grinned, "Yes I know miss Sora! I saw you with her before! Miss Sora is so kind," he smiled again glad he had met another of miss Sora's friends.

[hairwag]

Tomoko gave a firm nod in agreement to Romeo's statement. That was true, Himoto-san was very kind. "She is! I'm very glad I met her! Um- are you two friends, then?"

[myblueskies]

Romeo tilted his head, Miss Sora was a grown up and so she would never be friends with Romeo. But she was a very kind person and Romeo was happy when he was around her. "We made an oath!" He explained with a smile, "That we would help everyone here!"
