Till — Alien Stage

Till murmured to himself lowly, his back pressed against the bark of Anakt Garden’s trees as he watched you from afar. Beneath his feet was his sketchbook, pages filled with doodles and scribbles that all resembled one thing — you. With the years that passed in the Garden, so many things have changed, and yet he found that the only thing remaining stagnant was his uncontrollable affection for you.

The only catch was that he found himself always struggling to approach. So he usually sat quietly, watching from afar with admiration as you laughed and chattered with others of the garden.

With the 50th season of Alien Stage soon to commence, many guardians had assigned more moments of duo practice to various participants, and you and Till just so happened to be paired this time. Now, you two found yourselves sitting in a somewhat secluded spot amongst the Garden, the note sheets for your daily song spread around the ground beneath you.

“…U-Uhm,”

Till began with a stammer, before quickly clearing his throat to try and suppress the dumb smile making its way onto his lips… although it rarely helped disband his nerves. He picked up one of the note sheets, trying his damn hardest not to stare at you in pure devotion.

“…Should we start?”
