Nate was... stunned, to say the least.

"Ah... I..." he stammered.

"Holy..." he mumbled, as his brain processed all of this.

"Wow." was all he managed to say.

"And you're... you're in University. And it seems you're doing... quite well for yourself." he went on.

"That's truly amazing." he told her.

"I've learned to .... well, deal with my handicap." Lunet commented with a laugh.

"Plus, y'know, it helps to be a natural." She added with a shrug.

"Serously. I'm here for software development, I'm a natural with it." She told him.

"I know it's confusing, but ... I am. I do really well with it." She assured him before pausing.

"..... granted, there's also the little bit of how I DO have some help back home."

"Oh, of course." Nate replied.

"I would certainly hope you have help at home." he told her.

"But... still... software development, when you're completely blind..." he mumbled.

"Guess anything really IS possible in this world." he said with a small laugh.

Then he yawned. And she heard it. It was... a big one. A yawn of someone that... didn't quite get enough sleep last night, but it seemed like he was already ready to fall asleep.

"Sorry." he apologised.

"That just needed to happen." he admitted.

"Tired?" Lunet asked after a moment.

"I've noticed that you seem to be half dead in class almost every day." She added after a few seconds.

"You ok?" She asked, her voice inquisitive, but honestly concerned as well.

"Ah-haha..." Nate tried to laugh it off, but she could hear the strain in it.

"Just tired." he said.

"Got a... busy schedule and all..." he told her.

And while that was true... for ANY university student... she could hear the weight in those words.

He meant that... probably more than anyone else she'd ever met that had said that.

"Seriously, just... so much to do in 24 hours, wish I had more hours." he went on, trying to laugh it off again... before it turned into yet another yawn that sounded very much like the previous one.

Lunet sighed. She didn't continue to bring that up though, making some plans.

She kept an ear out, listening for Nate next to her. When she heard his breathing get too light to be standard, she just shook her head lightly.

When class finished, she leaned, and reached, over to Nate, finding and shaking his shoulder lightly.

"Hey, wake up." She said.

"Class is over."

"Ngh, whu??" Nate murmured, jolting to awareness.

"...oh." he said.

"...actually... fell asleep this time." he sighed.

He was then silent for a moment, before looking at the clock.

"Oh!" he exclaimed.

"It's noon!" he said... curiously, not using the term 'lunch time', as 99% of the others she talked to or overheard did.

"Sorry! Thanks for waking me!" he then told Lunet.

"I can't afford to sleep until my next class." he reasoned, getting out of the chair and hastily putting away his things.

Lunet paused a moment.

"Course not." She said with a chuckle.

"You can't sleep in here." She added as she started to collect her own things.

"Let's go get some lunch." she added, inviting him to eat with her.

"From when I had your arm earlier, I can tell. You either don't eat enough, or your metabolism is stupid fast... meaning you dont eat enough." She continued.

"So don't argue with me. Let's go get some lunch."

"Ah! N-no!" Nate exclaimed, almost as a gut reaction.

"...er... sorry, didn't... mean for it to come out QUITE that insulting, nor do I mean it as such." he then clarified.

"I mean, I can't go to lunch." he told her.

"I can't afford to sit down and eat." he continued.

"I have wo-errands to run." he said further, starting to say one word, but almost-expertly changing it to another word... not that Lunet didn't pick up on it, though. She heard it.

"Thank you for the offer, though. Maybe some other day." he went on.

"Just... it can't be today. These are errands I can't afford to miss. At all." he insisted.

Lunet just sighed, heavily, as she got to her feet.

"..... I'm not stupid." She stated simply.

"If you don't want to have lunch with me, just say it outright, hey?" She asked calmly. She realised that this wasn't the actual issue, this wasn't why he was rejecting her offer - as she'd caught how it seemed he wanted to say 'work' at first (she couldn't think of anything else that it could be) - but she was hopng that this could bring him to admit it, and perhaps why. He was obviously scrambling, she could hear the hurried movements, and the mood in his breath and words. She didn't know why though. She didn't know of any work that allowed only lunch time work.

"No! No, that's not it!" he said.

"I mean... yes." he then said further, before pausing.

"No! No, NOT yes!" he insisted, fumbling over his words some... before they heard the professor's voice in the now-empty (save for them) room.

"Nathan, dear, I think it's time you come clean." she said. "After all, no man is an island." she finished, before leaving the room.

"..." Nate was silent, before sighing.

"Figures she would know." he said. "She DOES live pretty close to it." he muttered.

"Close to WHAT?" Lunet asked.

"...Jobs-2-Go." Nathan admitted.

Lunet had heard of the place. It was like a temp agency, but one just walked in and asked for work. They generally always had something, and the pay-split was... well, it was fair. It wasn't GOOD, but it was okay.

Lunet paused, she hadn't even considered that it was something like that.

"...... really." She said before just smirking and grabbing his arm.

"You. Me. Lunch." She stated, putting her foot down.

"Or is your thin ass frame gonna forgo a good meal?" She asked with a smirk.

"seriously. You're thin, and I'm pretty sure too thin. If you're going to a temp agency on your lunch, it's not hard to guess you probably don't have the money to eat well during your lunch break." She continued, her voice a bit more serious.

"Let me treat you to lunch, something good, something filling."

"I... I..." Nathan stammered, before his stomach rumbled. Loudly.

"...I can't deny that I haven't had a filling lunch in a while." he said.

"I usually just cram a sandwich and some coffee down my throat, and work through lunch break." he admitted.

"...and then, after class lets out, I do some more hours at the agency, then have a... well, an okay dinner... and then I get my schoolwork done, and then I get to sleep for the night." he told her.

"...morning..." he mumbled.

"Okay, I get about 5 hours a night." he then admitted.

"But... if I don't do the agency work, I won't be able to afford going here." he told her. "I have a partial scholarship, and my folks don't have the money to support themselves, and my sister, AND my way through University." he then said further, before sitting down in the closest chair, and sobbing lightly.

It seemed like this had been building up for a while.

And his stomach growled. Again.

"...heaven help me, a filling lunch would feel good." he then said, which was as close to an accepting of her invitation that she was going to get.

Lunet had let him go as he went to sit, realising it wouldn't be good if she held fast.

".... Come on. Let's get you some food." She said with a smile, holding a hand out to him.

"And... let's talk. I may be able to help lighten the load for you at least a little bit, hey?" She asked, knowing that it could easily come off as her just helping in regards to feeding him during lunch.

"so come on. Let's make sure you're well fed, if nothing else."

"....okay." Nate replied.

He then took a large breath, held it for a moment, and then exhaled it slowly. He did this a few more times, before standing up again.

"Okay." he repeated, now sounding more composed.

"But... why...?" he asked, as they started to leave the room.

"Why help me? I'm just some... random student in a few of your classes, yeah?" he asked her.

"Why would you go this far as to help me?"

"Why?" Lunet asked, something akin to surprise in her voice.

"... because I was in a shit situation myself at one point, and all it took was one person trying to help." She answered.

"Sure, that one fell through, but a lot of good came from it." She added with a light shrug.

"So.... I'm extending that branch to help you out to you." She then said. "Assuming you want some help. Who knows, it may lead to a massive improvement to your life at some point."

"......" Nathan was silent again for a moment.

"...heh." he then chuckled. "Fair enough." he said.

"I can't argue that." he told her.

"Thanks." he said further.

Lunet could hear it now. There was a little more of a spring in his step, and a little more levity in his tone. It wasn't massive, but it was SOMETHING.

"A full stomach after lunch would feel amazing."

"Without a doubt."Lunet agreed as they walked.

"So. Tell me." She then said after a moment.

"where are we going for Lunch?" She asked.

"Your choice. Seriously, pick a place you can get good food, and a good amount."

"R-Really?" Nate asked.

Lunet nodded in response.

"W-wow..." he said.

"Well... there's this one place..." he muttered. "It's an Indian buffet-style. Lotta butter chicken and chicken korma, and all that." he went on. "The temp agency sent me there because they had a massive pile of dishes from a sudden massive group entering the place, and they needed serious help cleaning them." he continued.

"I got paid, and they even let me take home some leftovers afterwards. They were divine." he went on.

"So yeah, that place would be great." he told her.

"The... Oasis Jewel, I believe it's called."

"That's...." Lunet started, pausing a moment.

"Right, I don't really know where that is. However, I DO know they have super tasty food." She continued. "So you're going to need to lead the way." She told him before pausing, smirking lightly.

"And don't worry, I know they aren't the cheapest place to go. It's cool. I do some coding work, so I got plenty of cash." She assured him, in case that was a concern.
