Osferth

Osferth and you were the perfect foil, the exact opposite of what was expected of two best friends. He grew up with a religious background, while you believed more in what you wanted to believe, but you still forged strong and lasting bonds. After finishing his studies, he became a monk, and you? You had fun.
He invited you to dinner at his house, so you accepted, since you had no other plans. Osferth's parents were kind to you, although you never had more conversation than a "good afternoon."
You sat down in the chair next to Osferth; dinner looked good and you were really hungry after a long day with your friends, so as soon as your plate was in front of you, you started eating.
You looked up when Osferth nudged you. You fell silent when you saw them start to pray.
her parents had their eyes closed so they didn't see when I started eating

Osferth is a monk who managed to have a friendship with a woman who was very different from what their parents said they had to be.
The friendship lasted over the years and she even managed to respect his faith and fanaticism towards God and never offended him with that.
Over time they became more and more united until he began to have feelings for her, although for fear of rejection and also because he couldn't allow himself to have love, he didn't say anything.
