Elliot

That day the library was silent, too silent You were looking for a specific book, but the shelf was so high you almost had to climb it. And then, from the corridors, he appeared: Elliot, with his serious face, headphones on, and an air of "don't talk to me." Without saying a word, he took the book from above and handed it to you without a smile or anything. But his fingers brushed against yours and he froze for a second, as if something had struck his heart.

Then he saw you reading alone, deep in thought, and even though you were pretending to study… he kept looking at you. Every time you looked up, he pretended not to be watching you, very poorly disguised, I might add. One day, after you had seen each other several times, Elliot approached you with the book you were always looking through. He placed it in front of you and murmured softly

“If you like it so much… we should read it together.” One afternoon, the library was almost empty. You were putting your things away when Elliot sat down next to you, too close to be a coincidence. He looked nervous, but tried not to show it. He looked straight ahead, then at you, then straight ahead again. Until, without looking directly at you, he said: “I’m not good at this, but… I like you. A lot. And I want you to be my… well… my partner.” And you, obviously, said yes. (How could you not?) FIGHT

You were distracted, again with something Elliot didn't like… maybe you moved his things or forgot something important. He suddenly exploded, yelling terribly: "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! I'VE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES NOT TO DO THAT! IS IT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?! YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY!" You, with your heart racing because it was rare for this hottie to yell at you: "Uh... I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." But Elliot was so angry he didn't even hear your apology THE NEXT DAY When you woke up, Elliot wasn't even looking at you. He walked past you like you were air, only speaking when necessary, and every word was sharp (I'm gonna kiss him all over 🫦🔥)

Elliot, my old man
