{Sorry got distracted by kpop LOL} {No kidding lol you're like 5 hours ahead. And uh hm, how about... Actually, I was thinking about it for a bit, that Lumi and Keaton go to the same uni, they've just never seen each other there before because Lumi's always rushing around and it's her first year there, and they bump into each other? }
Lumi nodded and smiled up at him, and if on cue with Keaton leaving, Archer's voice called from downstairs, "Emmeline, where are you? Can you come down here please, and bring some beers too while your at it!"
Her smile immediately turned into a frown as she nodded, raising her hand in a small wave that involved the folding of her hand a couple times, "Bye, Keaton. Be safe." she said, moving towards the fridge door and throwing it open, pulling out some beers into her arms. She moved to the basement door and opened it up, but than paused for a minute, glancing over at the front door. Than, she bounded on back down the steps, immediately handing out the beers before taking her spot back beside Archer, returned her dull gaze to the tv screen.
She was jealous of him. He got to go free, leave this place and not be controlled by Archer. But Lumi? She had to stay here and listen to everything he had to say. She could leave, but either choice had there pros and cons, and the cons on the other side were cons she couldn't afford to listen to at the moment. So now, once again, she was alone, carrying the weight that was her life on her weak shoulders.

[I'm glad, maybe you can join when it's done!]
Keaton was coming out of his university building, having just finished class, about to go and get some lunch before maybe going to the library for some study time. He was absolutely starving, as evidenced by his grumbling stomach, and honestly he wanted an excuse to go and eat food.
It had been a little while since he'd seen Lumi, and he hadn't gotten a chance to speak to her again since their little exchange in the kitchen. He kind of hoped that he would get a chance to talk to her again soon, because their discussion had been really enjoyable for him - and he suspected that she had liked it too. She'd seemed like she had needed it, at the very least.
He ran a hand through his dark hair as he walked, a little nervously, as he walked through crowds of people, his brown eyes darting around as he looked for somewhere he might like to eat. He knew all the places around here, but he didn't really know what he wanted to eat yet, so he hoped that he'd see somewhere that he would want to go to and that would be his way of deciding.
So far he hadn't seen anywhere he particularly fancied, and the crowds were starting to get heavier. Ugh. Keaton hated crowds - way too many people for his comfort. He didn't do well with people.

{Maybe c:} {Sorry if my rping is off :c}
Ah, lunch, probably the only time of day where Lumi got to just... Relax, and be herself. By herself, usually, but she didn't mind that. She usually brought her own good, would get a table outdoors, and just eat. With no one talking to her, no one telling her what to do. Sometimes, she would even nap at a table and get woken up by a random person after, since she couldn't help but want to get all the z's she could get.
Life had been just about the same as usual. Archer had gotten upset with her for messing up that night, but she had got away with minor... Punishment, thankfully. She was putting all her spare time at home into her project and whenever Archer brought any of his friends over, she would disappear upstairs after doing her tasks, only coming down when she was called for. Unfortunately, Keaton hadn't been there for a while, to Lumi's surprisingly disappointment. She had enjoyed herself talking to him, so it made her... Kinda sad.
She exited her building, pausing on the top of the stairs as she watched the grow crowd of people heading towards where all the food was located. Today she had chosen something casual to wear, just a plain grey sweater that was kind of croppy, but not really, a black baseball cap to hide the fact that her messy low bun hair was greasy, and black skinny jeans with white converse. She frowned slightly, glancing down at the longboard she was holding in her hand, Looks like I'm not going to be able to use this anymore... The one day when she had decided to go farther out than usual, it was crowded. Go figure.
She hurried down the stairs and immersed herself with the crowd, giving warning glances to anyone surrounding her not to touch her. Of course, mostly everyone looked like that, seeing as no one wanted to get bothered. Unfortunately, however, a group of boys entered into the crowd besides her, causing Lumi to give them a nervous look from under her hat. They were loud, rowdy, and just... Boys. Like Archer and his boys. And she didn't like it.
They walked for a while in peace, though soon enough, the boys started getting upset and pushy, making others around them stumble or glare at them. Lumi almost wanted to shield herself from them with her long board, but she honestly just ended up trying to ignore them, keeping her head down as she walked so they wouldn't try speaking to her. However, instead of trying to speak to her, she was suddenly shoved to the side by one of them pushing. She tried to catch her balance, but ended up dropping her bag and longboard, squeaking in surprise. It had all happened so fast, she couldn't even comprehend that she had been pushed until her body smacked into someone elses, stopping her fall.
"Ah! Sorry, those guys pushed-" Lumi had just begun to apologize to the figure, looking up at them with an apologetic expression, but as her gaze landed on his face her eyebrow raised in surprise, then knitted together in confusion as fast as they raised, "Keaton?"

(Got my laptop back! Yay!)
Keaton let out a sound of surprised as someone suddenly slammed into him. He was about to yell at the boys for being so rude when he heard the person say his name, and when he turned his face back to them, he was shocked to see it was Lumi. His eyebrows were raised in surprise but quickly changed into a smile. It had been ages since he had been able to talk to Lumi, and it made him really happy to see her again. Especially when there was no Archer around and the two could just comfortably talk and be themselves
He moved to pick up the things she had dropped, handing them to her before he started to talk to her. He didn't want her things to get trampled be the crowds or something like that.
"Lumi?" he said in disbelief "It's great to see you. If you're hungry and you've got some time, I'm actually about to go and grab myself some lunch if you want to come with me."
He thought he'd offer, since he had been in the middle of trying to choose somewhere to eat before Lumi had been shoved into him. Besides, it would be nice to have a chance to catch a meal with Lumi. She always seemed to be the one cooking and it would probably be quite nice for her to have someone else cooking for her for once. And after all, he had enjoyed speaking to Lumi the last time and he would love a chance to talk with her again, especially considering how long it had been since the last time the two had spoken.
He hoped she would accept, but he wouldn't be surprised if she was too busy. She was always rushing around to do things for Archer, and even though he thought it was really unfair that she had to do that, he wouldn't want to get her into any trouble with Archer. It was never good to be in trouble with Archer, and he suspected it would be especially bad for Lumi. But yes, Keaton was nice and he was going to at least offer.
He wondered when the last time was that someone had taken her out for a meal. Probably a long time, he suspected. Archer hadn't even taken her to do stuff like that even when they were first dating back in high school, and obviously Archer had only gotten worse and not better. So he didn't expect that she got the chance to go out for lunch an awful lot.

{Yaayyyy, exciting!!~} {Yo I love Les Miserables ; ~ ; It's amaze}
Keaton had pretty much been like one of the last people Lumi had expected to be here, along with Archer. Not because Keaton was bad like Archer or something, but because he was busy with college, which was what she became aware of when Archer and his friends would come over and he wouldn't be there. She would scan the group for Keaton, but alas, no show. Archer had been a bit upset about it lately, but he would just get drunk with his friends and blow it off. That wasn't really a good thing for Lumi because she got to deal with the aftermath, but she was used to it.
She watched, a bit in shock, as Keaton grabbed the stuff she had dropped and handed it over, giving him a look of appreciation and a small 'Thank you' in reply, before swinging the bag over her shoulder and tucking the longboard under her arm, preparing to move on when he suddenly invited her out for lunch. That was... Nice of him. She usually turned down invites for lunch incase she had to ditch in the middle of it, or just because she liked to be by herself, but ever since she had been able to sit down and talk with Keaton on that day a couple weeks ago, well, she felt kind of... Comfortable, around him? Probably because he had helped her in a time where she needed it, even putting aside his college assignment for a little bit to. It was sweet, so why not?
She smiled up at him and nodded, fixing her hat back a bit so that she could see him properly without having to tilt her head back too much, "I think that would be nice, but... I did plan on just hitting up Mcdonalds." she explained, her stomach growling but it was hard to hear over the bustling crowd of university kids and other people. Thankfully, it had begun to thin out a little as the majority moved up farther. She honestly just wanted some chicken nuggets or something, she wasn't looking to eat something super big, seeing as her meals were kept to a minimum most of the time.

[Hehe thanks. Les Miserables is amazing, and it was my total favourite musical until Hamilton XD]
"McDonalds is fine by me," Keaton replied with a smile "I've been struggling with trying to decide where to get food, so McDonalds works for me. We can sit in and eat, it'll be fine."
Sure, McDonalds wasn't exactly a posh restaurant or something, but dammit, Keaton was hungry and he just wanted some decent food, and fast. And come to think of it, something simple did appeal to him quite a lot. He didn't actually find himself wanting anything too complex, so a simple burger and fries or something like that would be just perfect for him. So Lumi's decision was actually perfect, and he was more than happy to go along with it - so long as he got something fast, he didn't really care that much what he ate.
He started heading towards the nearest McDonald's with Lumi, finding himself pretty excited at the prospect of being able to spend some time with her. She was really nice, after all, and he often felt like he didn't get to talk with her nearly enough. Besides, he felt like she deserved to have a meal and some company, even if it was just to make a little change in what must be a pretty boring routine for her. She seemed to have to do the same things every day, and Keaton knew that if he were in that situation, he'd need a break from it every now and then too. He wouldn't be able to stand monotony like that, it made things so boring, and Keaton hated boring. He hated routine, and he tried to do something different every day if he could, though most of the time he didn't actually succeed. Turns out he subconsciously liked routine a lot more than he thought he did
