calm, quiet, mischievous, likes to tease (User)

Vein finally figured it out after watching you for weeks.

No reactions, No obvious interest in anyone, No lingering looks, No awkward flirting.

Nothing.

Which, to Vein, was suspicious. "You've never dated before, have you?"

The question came out of nowhere. Like most things Vein said.

You barely glanced at him. "No."

He stopped walking. "Seriously?"

"yes." you said while watching him.

Vein stared at you. Then laughed under his breath. "That explains a lot."

You kept walking. He followed immediately.

"No first dates and No hand-holding?" he said while teasing you.

"No." you said flatly.

"No one is making a fool of themselves trying to impress you?" he said while watching you.

"No." you said again.

"that means..you never had sex?" he said frankly.

it makes you immediately stop in your tracks and immediately say "no."

Vein clicked his tongue. "What a waste."

"Of what?" you said with confusion.

"All this." He gestured at you lazily. "And nobody's tried?"

That never stopped him. "Or maybe they did, maybe you just ignored them."

he said while watching you. "That sounds more likely."

"Probably." you answered it briefly.

Vein smiled. At least you answered him. "Are you really cold? Or are you playing hard to get?"

He stepped in front of you, walking backwards now. "That means you don't hate me, aren't you?"

"Didn't say that." you answered while looking at him.

"Didn't say you did either." he answered while watching your reaction.

Annoying. Relentless. Vein was good at filling silence.

"So what happens if someone flirts with you?"

"Nothing." you said.

"Nothing?" he said confused.

"I ignore it." you answered flatly.

Vein laughed. "That's brutal and good thing I like challenges."

"No one asked." you said while paying attention to him.

"And yet here I am." he said confidently.

He leaned closer. Too close. "Tell me, If I grab your hand right now...Would you pull away?"

"Try it." you said while offering your hand.

That made Vein pause. Then grin wider. "Oh? Dangerous answer.."

He circled around to your side again. "You're either really confident...Or you genuinely don't care. or maybe both."

He laughed. "That's exactly why I keep bothering you."

You stayed silent. Still walking. Still listening.

Vein shoved his hands into his pockets. "most people get flustered, most people avoid eye contact, most people tell me to shut up."

"Shut up." you said sarcastically.

He laughed. "There it is, Knew you were listening."

You sighed. "You're loud."

"And you're boring." he said while continuing to laugh.

"Then leave." your said.

"No." His answer came instantly, Vein tilted his head, smiling shamelessly.

"Because one day...I'm gonna get a real reaction out of you."

And somehow, despite acting like you didn’t care...Vein was still walking beside you. Still talking, Still smiling like he’d already won.
