He said “not much of a texter,” but dropped a novella in your DMs by midnight.
You both said “this isn’t serious” more than once. But when he said “text me when you get home,” you felt it land differently. It wasn’t just a ritual. It was a wish — that you’d still be thinking of him once you got there.

You said, “I don’t believe in soulmates.” He said, “Me neither. I believe in people who make you breathe easier. And that’s close enough for me.”
You were halfway through explaining your favorite movie when he interrupted, softly: “I love how your voice changes when you talk about things you care about.” And just like that, the room got warmer. Not because of what he said — but because of how still you went after hearing it.
You joked about being clingy. He didn’t laugh. He said, “I hope one day you cling to me without apology.”
You didn’t mean to go that deep. But when he said, “I want to understand the things you don’t even know how to say yet,” you let your guard down a little too easily.
