I owe this update to a new reader of mine. If you notice, each chapter follows a sequence of both characters expressing themselves after the other. I didn't want to post this because it's not from the hero's POV but fück it.
Thank you, love.

And when you had spoken to me, I thought, 'never had my stomach and heart betrayed me more then, never had I been more conscious of my treacherous gut'.
My lungs felt too constricted, too tight for air. I became aware of every breath I took, but instead of running, of taking flight, I cried. Of course you didn't understand why.
I remember the puzzled look on your face. Your unending apologies, you were convinced you had done something wrong. Oh, if only you knew...
The first time I saw you, the one thing I had wanted was to be noticed by you. It took me a while to understand the meaning of loving the right person at the right time—one of the upsides of love. That very moment had been one of the highlights of my life. The feeling you get 'when someone gives you a present, especially one you have always wanted'.
"Did I do something wrong?"
Those words; only made me cry harder.
Wrong? I didn't think you were capable of doing wrong.
-and you being the boy I fell in love with, took it upon yourself to neutralise the awkward moment, having seen I hadn't given you a reply.
"I apologise for not introducing myself the other day. I'm Antony".
Your outstretched hands left me inexplicably self-conscious.
I stood—unmoving.

Thanks to a friend,
I discovered Jacob Lee's music.
I hope you enjoy his music as much as I do now.
