Work Text:

I like it when they

Put their head in my lap

Text me with

ideas for our stories

that we fabricate sporadically

Play games with me

Rest their

head on my shoulder

Smile

Respond with “tchüss”

when I say “tìoraidh”

Give me paper dragons

showing me how

this one looks like my character

Respond to my screeches

with their own

Sing along with me

as we share interests

I like their brain

not just because it is mine

although I like me

but because it is them

I got a bit nervous

when it was icy

and they held my hand to

stop me from slipping

I was nervous to ask them if

that could be a normal thing

And now it is

I gave them a hug

because they weren’t having

the best day

And I wanted that

to be a normal thing

And now it is

I was nervous

To ask if it could be normal

And now it is

I like them

Platonically, of course

We don’t do romance here

Notes:
