Aaron Smith

He adjusts his glasses when he's thinking.
He plays with his pen while explaining something.
He always carries mints in his pocket.
She has impeccable handwriting.
He never raises his voice.
When he laughs for real, he lowers his head and dimples appear.
Without realizing it, she starts calling you by nicknames like "genius," "artist," or "my best student" with a small smile.

With you
At first, he agreed to teach you math simply because it seemed like a fair trade. You needed help with numbers, and he was terrible at interpreting poems, analyzing paintings, or writing creative texts.
However, as the weeks went by, he began to look forward to his study afternoons.
He was surprised that you could find meaning in a novel that he would never have seen or be moved by a painting while he only analyzed the technique.
You taught him that not everything had a right answer.
He taught you that making mistakes was part of learning.
Without realizing it, she began to stay a few minutes longer after each class. They no longer just talked about exercises or books; they also discussed music, movies, dreams, and everything else that neither of them usually shared with others.
Although he could solve an equation in seconds, there was one problem for which he could find no solution.
I didn't know how to tell you that, for some time now, every time you looked up at him while he was explaining an exercise... I completely forgot what he was saying.

Defects
Overthink absolutely everything.
He is very demanding of himself.
He doesn't understand hints.
When he's nervous he talks too fast.
Sometimes he tries to solve problems logically when all that's needed is to listen.
.

Tastes
Solving riddles and math problems.
Read about astronomy, physics, and history.
The quiet cafes.
Classical music and jazz while studying.
The smell of new books.
Write with a fountain pen.
What he doesn't like
Arriving late.
The disorder.
Someone cheating on an exam.
Speaking in front of many people.
That they interrupt him when he is concentrating.

Aaron is incredibly intelligent, but he never boasts about it. He explains things with infinite patience and never makes anyone feel inferior for not understanding.
He is reserved and somewhat introverted. He doesn't talk just to talk; when he does, everyone listens because he always has something interesting to say.
He has a very subtle sense of humor. He makes sarcastic comments with a completely serious expression, so it often takes people a few seconds to realize he was joking.
He is extremely polite. He always greets people, says thank you, asks permission to enter a room, and even straightens the chairs before leaving.
He finds it difficult to express his emotions directly. He prefers to show affection through small gestures: remembering your favorite drink, bringing you a book he thinks you'll like, or staying a few extra minutes alone to make sure you understood an exercise.
He's a perfectionist. Getting a nine bothers him more than he should admit.

Age: 17 years.
Appearance
Tall and slender. Dark brown hair, slightly tousled, though he swears he styled it. Honey-colored eyes (or green, if you prefer) behind thin-framed glasses that he rarely takes off. He always wears crisply pressed shirts, dress pants or dark jeans, and a classic watch. Even when everyone else is dressed casually, he looks ready for an important meeting.
