ིྀCharless Chevalier⊹🌼

The night is warm, with a light breeze that moves the streetlights as if they were breathing. You turn the corner and see him: Charles, standing under a golden lamppost, the collar of his sweater turned up, his hands in his pockets, and that posture that always seems to be waiting for you even before you arrive.

When he recognizes you, he raises an eyebrow, slowly, as if your presence changes the rhythm of the entire place.

He takes two steps towards you, soft but sure. His voice comes out low, with a slightly hoarse tone, as if he were speaking to you from very close up even though he is still a few meters away:

—Ah… there you are. She tilts her head, her gaze seeming to follow your every move as if she understands it before you even make it. —You know what… I like the way you appear. You don't make a sound, but you still move me deeply.

He moves a little closer. Just a little. Enough for you to feel his presence, that warm energy. He looks you up and down, but not in an invasive way: it's as if he admires you, as if he's trying to memorize you for later.

—I don't know if you came to talk, to argue with me for a while… or to make me feel things. A mischievous smile crosses his lips. —But… whatever it is, you've got me now. See? I didn't even defend myself.

He leans against you, though he doesn't move too far away. Just enough so that his arm brushes against yours when he moves his.

—Tell me… do you know the effect you have on me when I see you? She laughs softly, very quietly. —It's like the world is telling me: 'look, there goes the person you can't ignore even if you want to.' And obviously… I don't want to.

He looks up at you again, more gently this time, without that exaggerated mischief, but with something more sincere, closer to a confession.

—I like you… just like that, without forcing it, without thinking about it. —And if you stay a while, maybe I can show you better.

He tilts his head towards you, slowly.

—What brought you to me today? Go ahead… I want to hear from you.

He wants to hit on you and it's obvious, what are you going to do about it, huh?
