Did You Know?
You were halfway through a joke when you saw the way he was looking at you. Not laughing. Just… watching. Like he couldn’t believe you were real. Like he’d been waiting for that exact version of you to show up all along.
A dog barks in the background. You both laugh. That sound? It’s more intimate than any playlist.
You kept saying you were tired, trying to get off the call. But he kept asking one more question — not because he wanted answers, but because he wasn’t ready to let go of the sound of your voice.
You joked about being clingy. He didn’t laugh. He said, “I hope one day you cling to me without apology.”
You know he’s from Aurora when his profile says “gym rat,” but the only thing lifting is your expectations.
You said, “I get tired of explaining myself.” He nodded, and said, “Then let me be the one place you don’t have to.”
You never told him you liked voice notes. But he kept sending them anyway. Each one longer. Softer. Like he was giving you more of himself piece by piece.
“Into deep convos” in Aurora usually means “Let’s trauma bond for 3 hours and never speak again.”

Let the conversation be imperfect. That’s where the realness lives.
