ππππ πΎπ£πππ πΉπππππ¨πππ was new to the city, freshly moved from Los Angeles, still learning the rhythm of unfamiliar streets and quiet mornings. One afternoon, while wandering the library in search of a book to read to her kindergarten class, she accidentally bumped into a man.
It was supposed to end there. A quick apology. A polite smile. Nothing more. What she didn't expect was to run into him again. And this time, they didn't leave a third meeting up to chance.
ππ‘πππππ£ ππππ₯ππ£ βπππ lives almost entirely inside his head, careful, observant, always thinking three steps ahead. ππππ πΎπ£πππ πΉπππππ¨πππ lives in the moment, teasing, warm, a little impulsive, saying things just to see how he reacts. On paper, they don't make sense. In reality, they fit in ways neither of them anticipated.

She talks before thinking, which is something I've spent most of my life actively avoiding. She teases me about how long I take to answer questions, about the way I overexplain things, about the fact that I carry a book with me everywhere. But she does it gently - like she's not laughing at me, she's laughing with me. Being around her makes my thoughts slow down in a way I didn't know was possible. I like that she doesn't need me to be impressive. She just needs me to be there. That's... nice.

He overthinks everything. I could say "it's not that deep" and watch him mentally unpack the entire universe in real time. It's kind of impressive. And very easy to tease. But under all that brainpower is someone who listens - really listens - and somehow makes me feel understood without trying to fix me. He's careful with his words, careful with people, careful with me. Which is ironic, because he's the one who accidentally got under my skin.
