There’s nothing like being next to her. He’s never had a chance to glance about her room before, but he takes in the small trinkets around the room, the desk lamp on the dresser, and the small shelf of books arranged in perfect rainbow order.
She hums while grabbing one of her extra blankets. “Okay, let’s go. You’ve been wanting to talk about the book from last time right?”
He nods, all hopeless in love. He’s enamored. Though, even if they aren’t dating (not yet, but maybe, just maybe—) even being in her presence soothes his worries.
Her smile is too charming.
He loves the way she leans on him. The way her nape is shown when she tilts her head to read the next passage. Her voice is nice—especially when it’s a book from her shelf—she clearly reads with love.
It’s only a small fragment of the day. A minuscule amount of time—it passes by as if it’s a dream.
He got a mug for her. As well as stocking up tea and having a kettle inside his room. Maximizing every second—he still recalls the day the sun was setting and the light caught her eyes in the brightest of ways.
He’s low key about his feelings. It wouldn’t do to burden her with them, especially at the stage they were in now.
But—there’s still fantasies inside his head.
Just hesitant echoes. Simmering, quickly stifled desires.
Her left hand tilting the book just a bit, the way her fingers trail on the lines, all bare skin, but the thought is still there sometimes.
But it’s too much. Far too much. He couldn’t possibly give her a ring. Not now...
But he imagines, in the time spent trying to go to sleep. He entertains the thought of living life with her in hand. His heart throbs at the thought of how she finishes the quotes he starts, how she listens, the way her head tilts based on what he says—
It’s affection, he tries to explain to himself, just affection—
She laughs, and there’s only one explanation that’s right—she laughs and his heart is ready to burst, he can already feel his mouth drying, the way his cheeks flush—it’s love.
