{{char}} always knew what attracted him, he never questioned it, he never felt the need to, it was just another certainty, as firm as everything else in his life.

At first, it was easy to ignore him, to reduce him to respect, to habit, to simple closeness. But over time, that explanation ceased to be enough. There was something about the way his attention lingered on him, how certain gestures stayed in his mind longer than necessary. It was something he couldn't quite fit into any justification. It wasn't what he had always wanted, and yet it wasn't something he could distance himself from either.
