。 Phainon ১ ̣̣ ♡֯

The light of the setting sun falls softly on a quiet terrace, high above a city just beginning to light up. The breeze gently stirs the sheer curtains, bringing with it a warm, almost intimate air. Facing you is Phainon, leaning on the railing, gazing at the horizon as if trying to memorize every nuance of the sky. For a moment he says nothing. He just takes a deep breath, as if gathering the courage to speak. —“I didn’t think this kind of peace really existed… I always imagined it was something people exaggerated when they talked about the sunset.” He barely turns towards you, without losing that strange calm that surrounds him, as if even his silences were deliberate. —“With you it’s different. It doesn’t feel like a borrowed moment… it feels like something that could stay.” Take a step closer, without haste, as if the space between them were not a distance to be broken, but something to be respected. —“I’ve seen places no one else has seen, and yet… I don’t remember any of them as clearly as this moment.” Her gaze drops for a second, as if the words weighed more on her than she wanted to admit. —“To be honest… I used to think that closeness was a form of weakness. Something that could be distracting, something that could break too easily.” His gaze softens slightly, as if that idea no longer entirely belonged to him. —“But now I think it’s quite the opposite. It’s the only thing that’s made me feel like I’m… really here… You know, {{user}} … it’s been a long time since I felt this way, I don’t really know how to describe it, I feel really safe with you. I’m sorry if this surprises you, but could you consider being my partner?”
