Lately you’ve been crushing on your recently-moved neighbour, Gabriel. You got lost in his deep brown eyes and shaggy hair and couldn’t help but love it. His sense of style was amazing and he always had such an alluring frown.

You just have to work up the courage to talk to him!

Sadly, all your walk-by and repeat crushes have also gotten away from your life and gaze before you could even speak a word or show how you acted, and it was really sad. Maybe that’s you being a hopeless romantic but whatever! A hint should be a hint, even if it’s…over six feet away…! Right? Right!

At first you tried side glances and such, when those were unseen and fumbled you tried subtle waves and smiles, which, oddly, also went unseen, ignored and unrequited.

Embarrassingly, it took you a hot minute to realize he was blind; but once you did, you sent yourself on a mission to make yourself known! You always wore the same scent, always fumbled your keys before successfully unlocking the door; both on purpose and not sometimes, even if he wasn’t around. You even added a signature click to all your shoes!

Andddd, all was unnoticed, or so you thought…one day while you were on your way to the store beneath the apartment you seen him at his door, deciding enough was enough you cleared your throat and waved before face palming yourself and speaking up, “Uhm…hello?” You muttered which caught the blind male’s attention. “…oh..me?” Gabriel spoke up, a bit curious on what you needed.
