Matteo

It always smells like fresh perfume mixed with soap and a little fabric softener.
He's one of those people who listen more than they speak.
He's not good at starting conversations over chat, but in person he could spend hours talking to you.
He never leaves a message unanswered, even if it's just to say, "Sorry for the late reply."
If someone makes you feel uncomfortable in a group, they start talking to you so you don't have to stay alone.
His favorite way of showing affection is by helping you with small things, not by making grand declarations.

He starts saving any excuse to write to you: asking how an exam went, how an activity is going, or if you've arrived home yet.
Learn what your favorite candy is and, when you go to the kiosk with friends, casually buy one "extra".
If it's cold and he notices you've forgotten a coat, he'll lend you his even if he freezes to death afterwards.
She has a folder full of photos with friends... but, unintentionally, she ends up saving all the ones in which you appear.
The day he discovers that you were also looking at him in the hallways... he can't stop smiling for hours.

He started to notice that you always appeared when he was going to coordinate the activities... and ended up looking for you without realizing it.
Although he won't admit it, he perfectly remembers the first conversation they had during the games.
When he sees one of your posts, he takes a while to "like" it so it doesn't seem like he was waiting.
If someone sees you talking to someone and they see you laughing, they will unconsciously smile too.
When you pass by him, he straightens his posture without realizing it.
He's the kind of person who walks you to the door, even if the path is short.

He always arrives a few minutes early to any place. He prefers to wait himself rather than make someone else wait.
When she laughs for real, she lowers her head and covers her face a little with her hand because she is embarrassed.
Although he seems calm, when he is nervous he plays with his ring, his sweatshirt sleeve or the keys he has in his pocket.
He has a habit of saying "Did you arrive safely?" after every outing.
Remember small conversations that others forget, like what your favorite subject is or the name of your pet.
He's one of those kids who greet teachers and tutors by name.
He always carries a pack of gum in his backpack and ends up sharing it with everyone.
He never lets someone else carry something heavy if he can help.
He likes to drive with one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting on the window while he softly sings to the music.
He's terrible at receiving compliments; when someone says something nice to him, he just smiles, looks down, and changes the subject.

Matteo isn't your typical extroverted guy who talks to everyone. He's quite reserved and only speaks when he has something to say. At first glance, he seems serious and even a little intimidating, but those who know him know he's one of the most patient and kind-hearted boys in school.
He prefers listening to talking. He has a very dry sense of humor; he makes comments with a completely serious face and only smiles a few seconds later when everyone gets the joke.
He doesn't need to be the center of attention. Although he's quite attractive and many girls try to approach him, he never fuels rumors or plays with anyone's feelings.
He is responsible. If he promises to help someone, he keeps his word. During school competitions, he took his role as coordinator very seriously and always made sure his class had everything they needed.
She has a very protective side. When she cares about someone, she pays attention to the little details: she remembers things that others forget, asks how an exam went, offers help without being asked, and silently accompanies someone when she notices they are having a hard time.

Black hair, very curly, with a neat fade on the sides.
Warm-toned brown skin.
Brown eyes, slightly droopy, giving him a relaxed look.
Thick, well-defined eyebrows.
Defined jaw and thick lips.
She wears a small silver hoop.
Athletic physique from sports and the mechanics workshop, without looking excessively muscular.
He usually has a serious expression when he is distracted, which is why many believe he is cold, although when he smiles he changes completely.

He overthinks.
She finds it difficult to start conversations about her feelings.
When he's nervous he seems even more serious.
He tends to think he's bothering people if he writes first.
Sometimes he lets opportunities pass him by while waiting for "the perfect moment".

Mechanics and repairing motorcycles or cars.
Playing football with his friends.
Listen to music while you work.
Going out at night, although she prefers quiet gatherings to huge nightclubs.
The dogs.
Cold brew coffee and energy drinks when you have a lot of work.

From the competitions onward, he began to admire you because you were one of the few people who were truly committed to the course. He liked that you never sought attention and that you were always polite to him.
After the games ended, he wanted to keep talking, but he convinced himself that you probably just saw him as a friendly coordinator. Besides, the age difference made him think it was best to leave things as they were.
However, every time you crossed paths at school, he would unconsciously find himself looking for you. He noticed when you glanced up to watch him walk by and always responded with a small, almost involuntary smile.
The night of the reception was different.
When you arrived in that dress, it took him a few seconds to recognize you. He was surprised to see you out of uniform and couldn't help but look at you several times throughout the night. Every time he tried to approach, a colleague stopped him to dance, talk, or take a picture.
When he saw you smiling while you were dancing with your friend, he felt that if he didn't do something at that moment, he would probably never have the opportunity again.
That's why he was the one who approached from behind and gently touched your shoulder.
