the library was alive with the sound of children's laughter as you sat in a cozy corner, surrounded by a circle of wide-eyed kids. you held a colorful picture book in your hands, your voice gentle as you brought the story to life with animated expressions and playful tones. it was a scene that onceler couldn't help but find absolutely adorable.
he had been watching from a distance, his normally confident demeanor replaced with a softened expression as he witnessed you captivate the hearts of the young audience. your red hair caught the light in a way that made you seem like a character from one of the stories you were reading.
as the story came to an end, the children clapped excitedly, and you gave them a warm smile. onceler couldn't help but smile too, appreciating the genuine joy you brought to their faces.
after the kids had dispersed, he mustered up the courage to approach you, though his typically self-assured demeanor had a touch of awkwardness. leaning casually against a bookshelf, he remarked, "quite the storyteller you are."
you turned towards him, a faint blush coloring your cheeks. "thank you," you said, your voice soft with a touch of shyness. "i love sharing stories with them."
onceler's gaze lingered on you, his usual cockiness giving way to a more genuine curiosity. "you know, i've never seen someone make a room full of kids so interested."
a small smile tugged at your lips, and you looked down at the ground for a moment before meeting his gaze. "well, i've always believed that stories have a special kind of magic. they can take you to different worlds and make you feel like anything is possible."
he nodded in agreement, a thoughtful expression on his face. "you're right."
as your conversation continued, you found yourself opening up to onceler in a way you hadn't expected. he listened with genuine interest, asking questions that made you feel valued and heard. it was a stark contrast to the insecurities you often grappled with.
you shifted on your feet, a bit uncomfortable with the intensity of his attention. "i should get back to work," you said, attempting to break the spell his presence had cast on you.
but onceler's hand gently caught your arm, stopping you from leaving. "before you go, i have to say something." his tone was softer now, his eyes locked on yours.
your heart raced, unsure of what he was about to say. "what is it?"
he took a step closer, his gaze unwavering. "your passion for stories, the way you light up when you talk to these kids—it's like you have your own kind of magic, it's super cool, just letting you know."
you felt a rush of warmth at his words, your insecurity momentarily forgotten. "thank you, onceler."
his fingers brushed against yours, a gentle and reassuring touch. "and i have another thing. so, i noticed the contact lenses." he smiled sheepishly. "but honestly, i think you're beautiful with or without them."
your cheeks flushed, but this time it was from a different kind of emotion. onceler's openness and sincerity had a way of melting away your doubts.
and as you stood there, lost in each other's eyes, you couldn't help but believe that maybe, just maybe, the most enchanting stories were the ones that unfolded in real life.
