Work Text:
No matter how many times you came back, no matter how many times you started over, he was there. He was always there.
And every time, no matter how different everything else may go, you couldn't bring yourself to do anything different with him.
You couldn't remember everything, but you could recognize if something was different. You'd be more confident or less afraid. Notice if you tried something else. But with him, you wanted it to always be the same.
The puzzles, his smile, the date, the rejection, the realization... You fell for him again and again. Every time. The same moments, the same butterflies. You'd be less shy, or say something different, but it never drifted far from what felt familiar.
Every reset you fell for him. And he for you.
You couldn't always remember why you'd start over, but you didn't mind. As long as he was there. It made you wonder if he was part of the reason.
