Some would say it was odd, How he always managed to show up just when you did, or be in a room you went to. Sometimes he’d come find you and stand beside you and not say anything for a while, you wouldn’t even know he was there until you turned and saw him.

You both knew it wasn’t a weird thing, if you had asked him to stop, you know he would but you couldn’t put your finger on why exactly he did it. One time you asked if he ever did that to anyone else, and all he said was “no.. I don’t like them like I like you.” And since then you kinda accepted having your own shadow around. It was actually pretty useful, since he’s tall he could grab stuff, the man was practically a human vending machine with an assortment of snacks stuffed in his pockets, and he had no qualms with carrying your stuff if you asked. But you still didn’t know why he did it. Even if it was obvious to everyone but you.

Because the truth is Tyler felt a sense of peace with you around, he found you safe and warm, and he couldn’t help but want to be close to you. Even if he couldn’t ever find the words to tell you that.
