Work Text:
I sit at the corner of your room, my legs curled up to my chest. It's always chilly in your room, or maybe it's just me. I'm not sure if i've ever felt warmth. You look warm.
I hate to want more between us, I enjoy being your protector, of course I do. It'd be selfish of me to not want to protect you (and also it's my job, I have to protect you whether I like it or not, but my point still stands) but I still yearn for more.
Sometimes even if you can't see me I think you know i'm there, you sense my presence. That gives a bit of hope for "something more".
Like, sometimes if i'm staring for too long (which happens more than I want to admit) you kinda pause, it's not that noticeable but I notice pretty much everything about you.
Like your eyes, your hair, your eyelashes, the way you sorta shake your hands when your excited. Wait what was I talking about again?
Oh! Once I tried touching your arm, just to see if you'd notice (no other reason !!!>//<)
You shivered then rubbed your arm. You noticed. That made me really happy :)
I wonder if you want more, the same way that I want more. I may never know.
I wish I did know. I wish you'd noticed me.
You look up from your phone after what felt like forever, you look at the corner i'm in
Wait what?
You squint at the corner. Do you see me? Do you finally see me? After all this time you
turn back to your phone.
Oh.
Guess not.
