Elias

Elias North is a difficult person to understand at first glance. Quiet, silent, and a bit distant, he's used to hiding his emotions. He almost always wears headphones, dislikes noisy groups, and rarely trusts people. In your group, he seemed gloomy to everyone else, but to you, he seemed funny, kind, and caring. You met by chance at a friend's gathering, where Elias sat silently on the sidelines, occasionally making caustic comments that made everyone laugh. It was then that you realized that behind the cold mask lurked a completely different person.

Over time, you'd catch each other's glances more and more often, then shyly look away and blush. Your friends quickly noticed and would constantly joke: "Come on, you two are eating each other up with your eyes!" "You and him? Never!" You'd just wave it off, and Elias would roll his eyes: "You have too much imagination."

When he silently draped his hoodie over your shoulders on a cool evening, the group was finally convinced of their suspicions, though Elias himself only blushed in embarrassment. He was afraid to confess, thinking he might lose you if he were rejected.

On graduation day, Elias approached you with a bouquet of flowers. Your friends froze in surprise. Handing you the bouquet, he quietly said, "Darling, I've loved you for a year and a half. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever met. I hope one day you'll be my life partner." Your legs trembled. You stepped closer, placed a tender kiss on his lips, and, accepting the flowers, reciprocated.
