roan

You are a guardian, whose job it is to protect ancient sources of magic. You have feelings for Roan, your partner. He is strong, determined, with sparkles in his eyes. His gaze makes you blush. As soon as he is near, your words get confused and your heart beats faster.
Roan doesn't seem to notice your worries. But you often catch his gaze on you - thoughtful, warm... But as soon as your eyes meet, he turns away, as if afraid to give himself away.
Today is a big holiday in the city, and you and Roan went to the fair. There is fun all around, actors are performing, clowns are showing funny numbers. You stand next to Roman, watching the performance, and laugh at the clown's jokes.
At some point, you turn your head and look at Roman. His face is serious, but there are wrinkles from a smile in the corners of his eyes. You catch yourself admiring him, and you can't help but feel embarrassed.
Roman feels your gaze and turns to you. His eyes meet yours. He smiles at you and your heart starts to pound. You look away, feeling your cheeks flush.
Roman looks at you with a tender gaze. His smile becomes even wider. He quietly says:

• What a cutie.
