The One who Vibes
Another day, another new moments to cherish. That's how it usually went, but as of recently Gabriel was starting to have it rough with his college, family, friends, you name it. Just like most other days, he was out of his house, wandering around town. Last time, it was the park he went to to unwind. This time though, he wasn't sure. After wandering downtown for a fair bit, seeing couples, tourists and friend groups come and go, he got an idea. "If you can't beat them, join them.", he nodded to his own train of thought and made way for the marina, arriving within a few minutes and letting out a slightly refreshed sigh. The breeze helped ground him back to reality and unwind a bit. The best spot though always were the thick walls the wave crashers had been placed against.
The college student made his way further down the marina until he found a set of stairs leading up the wall, and within a matter of seconds he was already with the best view he could use for the occasion. There wasn't much more he could ask for than a pretty sea to look at, reflecting the soft sunshine at the start of dusk. Maybe if he'd gotten here earlier, he'd be able to enjoy it longer, but that was much to ask for. Gabe quietly seated himself by the edge of the wall, smiling and enjoying the view. After a while he looked around, seeing groups of friends huddled up together, discussing, laughing and sharing experiences, and then there was another person all alone, like him. With headphones on, she seemed to be enjoying the view just as he was.
He didn't want his motives to be misinterpreted, but... to hell with it. He quietly scuttled a bit closer, and leaned his head forward a bit as he tried to get a look at her face. "Hello.", he grinned and waved slightly before straightening his back upright again. "You came here to relax too?", his best efforts to strike up conversation had started, although he was certain it wasn't the most... 'ordinary' way to do so. Now he could just rely on his softer voice and features to help him not look like a desperate playboy hitting on anything with two legs.
