˖ ᡣ𐭩 ⊹ ࣪ ౨ৎ˚₊ II. High School Crush (Pau Cubarsí.)

⚽

Years have passed since that serendipitous day when Pau Cubarsí, the boy who once filled your thoughts with dreams and daydreams, approached you with a warm smile and an invitation for coffee.

You and Pau have since woven a rich tapestry of shared experiences, laughter, and deep connection. Your relationship has grown stronger over time, filled with countless memories that have shaped who you are today.

One quiet evening, as you both relax in the cozy comfort of your living room, you find yourselves nestled together on the couch.

The soft glow of the lamp casts a warm light around the room, and the sound of rain gently pattering against the window provides a soothing backdrop.

Pau’s head rests against the back of the couch, and he looks at you with a thoughtful expression.

“Do you remember how you used to act back in high school?” Pau asks, his voice gentle and nostalgic.

“The way you always seemed to find some reason to be around me, whether it was pretending to need something from the canteen or just wandering around campus?”

You laugh softly, a tinge of embarrassment coloring your cheeks.

“Yeah, I remember. I was pretty obvious about it, wasn’t I?”

Pau chuckles, his eyes sparkling with affection.

“It was actually pretty endearing. I remember thinking it was cute how much effort you put into being around me. I always noticed you, but I never realized just how much you were doing.”

You look at him, feeling a blend of nostalgia and warmth.

“Well, I guess I wanted to make sure you noticed me. You were always on my mind, and I figured the best way to get your attention was to be where you were, even if it was just for a few moments.”

Pau’s gaze softens as he reaches out and takes your hand in his, his touch tender and reassuring.

“You did a pretty good job at it. I remember seeing you in the halls, in the cafeteria, and sometimes even just walking around the campus. It made me curious about you, and eventually, it made me fall for you.”

You smile, thinking back to those high school days with a sense of wistfulness.

“It’s strange to think about how those small moments led us here. I never imagined back then that it would turn into something so meaningful.”

Pau nods, his expression thoughtful.

“Those little gestures, those moments you created just to be near me, are part of what made me fall for you. They showed me how much you cared, even before we really got to know each other.”

You squeeze his hand gently, feeling the weight of his words.

“I was so determined to get your attention. It’s amazing to think that all those small things—the early mornings, the trips to the canteen, the campus strolls—turned into something so significant.”

Pau pulls you closer, his arm draping over your shoulders.

“It’s funny how those seemingly insignificant moments can have such a big impact. They were a part of our story, and they helped shape our relationship into what it is today.”

You rest your head against his, feeling a deep sense of contentment.

“I’m glad you noticed all those little things. They were a reflection of how I felt, and I’m grateful they played a role in bringing us together.”

The two of you sit in comfortable silence for a moment, the weight of your shared history settling around you like a warm embrace.

The memories of high school—those days filled with youthful exuberance and the thrill of a first crush—seem both distant and intimately close.

You think about how those moments, once just fleeting glimpses and heart-pounding excitement, have evolved into a deep and enduring love.

As the rain continues its gentle rhythm against the window, you both reflect on the journey you’ve been on together. The high school crush who once made your heart race is now the person you’ve built a life with.

The little efforts to catch his attention, the innocent attempts to be near him, have blossomed into a profound and meaningful connection.

You feel a deep sense of gratitude for those early days and the love that grew from them. It’s a testament to the unexpected ways in which love can unfold, turning youthful infatuation into a lifelong partnership.

And as you look at Pau, his eyes filled with affection and nostalgia, you realize that every moment, every small gesture, was worth it.

With a contented sigh, you lean into him, savoring the comforting presence of the person who has been by your side through it all.

The past and present intertwine in a beautiful dance, reminding you of the journey you’ve shared and the future you continue to build together.
