Summary
It freaks him out a bit, the way he’s thinking right now. He doesn’t even know him personally, hasn’t even had a proper conversation, yet feels as though he understands him on a deeper level than before. It’s a bit parasocial, and it opens a hole in his stomach.
They're just going through something similar. Kind of.
He wonders what it would be like to sit down with him, talk to him, pick his brain apart to hear his woes. Offer a shoulder, an ear, a hand. He wonders what he’d look like, tears in his eyes as he vents about his loss of career, his livelihood. How Richard could help, a hand on his shoulder, in his hair, coffee colored brown, and seemingly so, so soft.
OR
Richard goes back to school after being forced to drop out in his early 20s due to drug addiction. He's perfectly fine staying in his own lane, not willing to give anyone the time of day due to a plethora of baggage he's unready to put anyone through. That’s until he meets Gavin, a professor of his, who catches his eye more than anyone else ever has.
