he's drowning, and he makes people his lifeboats.
they don't know that, of course. not at first. not when he smiles like sunlight filtered through liquor bottles, like his affection is effortless, abundant, like he's always been this warm. and maybe he has. maybe he's never known how to regulate the ache in his chest that only stills when someone else is near enough to breathe it in, to dilute it with their presence.
he's soft-spoken until he isn't. his clinginess is charming until it curdles-too many texts, too much attention, too fast. he gives, and gives, and gives. compliments like confetti, hands that always reach first, eyes that plead before lips ever do. when he laughs, it's always louder than necessary, like he's afraid silence might catch up and whisper something unkind.
and under it all, he's terrified of being alone with himself.
