Fanning the (Literal) Flames of Friendship! [M4A Playing Female.]

Silence.

As was usually the case in Mr. Maguire's classes, the students sat in silence. The only noises being made were the occasional shuffling of paper as students turned over pages in books, and the light scratching of pens and pencils as students worked away on assigned questions or essays.

The silence was broken by the loud ringing and beeping of the school's fire alarm, high pitched and urgent. Chairs scrapped and feet hurried, as the students started to evacuate the rooms and indeed the school. As the students of Mr. Maguire's room spilled into the hall, they were met with the distinct smells of smoke and burning, heat seeming to fill the space from the blazing science block below them. Thick, black choking smoke rolled in, obscuring the vision of students.

As one student, William “Will” Carter made his way out, he couldn't help but worry. He was a quiet soul who preferred to sit and observe rather than get involved, but in the mass of panicking students forcing him along he couldn't see a particular student who was often in his classes. He didn't know her too well, but they'd been partnered together a few times.

As the crowd moved and surged, spilling out into the open air he still couldn't see her! in a split decision, he forced his way back through the students. An elbow hit him in the face, splitting his lower lip but he refused to stop. Coughing and wheezing as thick smoke filled his lungs, he dropped to his knees to crawl through the crowd.

Smoke, Ash and blood all seemed to mingle on his tongue, cinders, dust and dirt clinging to his hair and clothes. He called her name, pushing open doors and pulling on others as he checked each room.

Entering one bathroom, he found a figure collapsed on the floor. Pulling his hoodie off, he soaked it under the tap before standing with her unconscious body in his arms. The damp hoodie was placed over her to try and protect her, as he dragged her outside….

And that's all I have at the moment! Now, I'm looking for someone to play as her, please.

Will is a quiet soul, living in an unpleasant situation at home. He’s lacking in confidence because of this, and barely ever speaks unless spoken to! A natural talent for art and photography, he has an eye for detail that helps him in other aspects of life. Partially deaf, he knows how to sign though doesn’t often get an opportunity to use this as his parents don’t give a damn and he is yet to meet anyone who will communicate with him in such a way.

Y/C can be played however you desire, but I would like it if she was a strongly built woman, a few inches taller than Will’s 5 foot 7 inches in height, simply because I kinda like the Short Guy x Taller Girl pairing as a reversal of the typical. But of course, we can discuss this!

Obviously, he saves her from the fire! She becomes a little over-protective of him following this entire thing, and over time they bond.

This can be romantic or friendship! I'd prefer the later, but obviously that can be discussed.
