My bear ❤️

(A/N: I WAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO USE THEIR NAME, DONT WORRY)

My bear,

babe,

The 5th element,

Just a few of the many names I call them.

This is just a short paragraph on when we first met.

As I was about to start making my way out of the Woodworking room, someone approached me.

"Hey! You, uh, look pretty cool, here's my contacts, bye!"

I stood there in shock for a few seconds. This was the kind of person you would look over to and think 'wow, that's an attractive person'. They were... handsome? Pretty? I didn't know which one they had preferred yet, as we has only spoken once.

"Thanks!" I call out.

"By the way, I like your shoelaces!" They responded, before walking back to their desk to grab their backpack.

I had immediately taken this as a sign that they were, also, queer, commenting on my rainbow shoelaces.

"Why do you look so happy?" Lucifer asked as I walked out of the classroom.

"Someone in woodwork gave me their contact." I smiled, my heart felt fluttery.

"Really? Who was it? Show me!"

That's when it hit me.

I didn't know their name.

Guess I'd have to find out.

***

As I got on my bus, I was kinda scared to open up the slip of paper I was given by the mystery person.

What if they had given me their Snap or something?

I don't have Snapchat, and I don't plan on downloading it any time soon.

I sat down and opened the slip. First thing I saw was...

A Snapchat username.

ouch.

I had lost all hope for a moment, stuck staring at the username.

My eyes had now drifted underneath the username, and fell to a series of numbers.

Their number!

Finally, some classic romance in my life!

I still didn't know their name, until my eyes drifted to a word beneath the numbers..

~Lee~

Hello : You

Is this Lee? : You

Lee : Tis 👀

You're queer, right? You liked my shoelaces. : You

Lee : Yes, I am 💅

Lee : Wait, what's your name?

Lee : oooo

Lee : Sorry, but what are your preferred pronouns?

I don't want to misgender you

My pronouns are "I don't/really mind" : You

Lee : BAHAHAHA

Lee : same tho

After a few random conversations, we tossed a few nicknames around, like Smurfie (I have blue hair), Wahousekey (they were planning on being Mike Wakowsky for Halloween).

Then there were a few classics, Pookie, Babe, Spiderman, Dude.

We got closer, and now it's bear.

We both call each other that.

I don't really remember how that nickname started, but it sure stuck.

But I compare their personality to the comfort of a teddy bear.

I'm on a call with them right now, they've just fallen asleep.

So, hey, Lee (●'◡'●)

If you're reading this, it means you're awake now.

Did you sleep well?

Anyways, cya, bear.
