i met him in high school and i'm pretty sure it was love at first sight for me? i mean i didn't fall for him immediately but idk he just caught my eye in that first day of class. i felt drawn to him sounds cheesy but it's true? the best part of that year was that sometimes i found him reading alone at the library and we would talk about whatever he was reading.
a year after that he asked me to go to prom with him because there was a grade incentive in most of our classes if you had a date, or at least that's the reason he gave me which was,, fine because it gave me an excuse to hang out with him since he was in the robotics club and didn't spend his time at the library that much anymore.
after a Lot of awkward high school flirting i just straight up told him how i felt? like some sort of shoujo manga except (when i asked him after we got together in college, apparently at the time he was thinking more along the lines of a bad shonen anime so he didn't give me a proper response until a year later??? he's lucky he's cute)
we go to the same uni now and have been dating for almost 4 years! and he is very soft and kind and patient (i'm usually late to...everything but he forgives me because,, he's an angel? probably). i love holding hands with him because i'm usually cold and he's usually warm <3 when i say i have to go home soon he pulls up r/tippytaps or some other cute animal subreddit so he can try to distract me into staying a bit longer. we've agreed that we would eventually adopt a labrador at some point when we're older and financially stable enough for that kind of commitment. he makes me really happy and i'm really lucky to have him in my life.
(also thank you for making this thread! it felt really nice to write about my feelings)
