Julien felt relief seeing that the first to arrive was Everett. The tension left his shoulders and they relaxed as he settled himself back against the desk.<br/>“Oh, it’s just you.” That sounded rude but he was merely stating the obvious. Still it couldn’t be denied that he looked at him with warmth. The remark about his drawing however wiped the warmth off his face and he glared at the sheet with a mostly unreadable expression.<br/>The arrival of the second member of their group surprised him as well. He couldn’t help but show a small smirk at the nickname.<br/><br/>“Nutcase Huh?” But the second remark  about his drawing simply seemed to be too far. It’s like they had both given him some kind of grave offence.<br/>He motioned to the drawing. “It’s boring. The background is plain and the subject too centered. I have to start all over. Today really was a waste. But Er... I didn’t summon you all here to look at my art this time.” He shook his head, there was no point taking out his frustrations on them. Was he so nervous about this it was making him moody. Julian pinched his nose, massaging the marks his glasses left.<br/><br/>Right when he had calmed himself down the door flew open and banged against the wall. Julian jumped sky high and his glasses went flying, sliding across the floor right in front of Case. Panicking he fell to his knees to search blindly for his glasses his hands finally landed on them and he pushed them swiftly back into place.<br/>“You scared me half to death! The name ‘Nutcase’ really does suit you. I’m the only one here at this hour, you know? I’ll get in trouble if you break anything!” Getting back to his feet he sighed again and returned next to his desk with his drawing. Picking it up he set it in between the pages of his sketchbook. That was enough admiring of his piece for today.<br/>Cases antics just made him sigh, rather unimpressed. He was still pissed from him almost breaking the door.<br/><br/>But well now that everyone was here they really could start this whole thing. That anxiety gripped him again and feeling tense he took a step towards Everett. Hopefully his presence would help calm him.<br/>“T-the thing is... the reason I called you here is-!” He started getting flustered and his cheeks grew pink as he looked from Maddison and Case. It was like a case of stage fright he completely froze up. Even though he knew his friends would surely never see him any different he still felt terrified to actually say it.<br/>Looking away from those two his eyes landed back on Everett and he reached out to shly grasp onto Everett’s sleeve.<br/>“H-help me out...” He half whispered, half muttered.
