Recently, you had moved in just down the road from Cliff, you had met a few times, and initially, he brushed off his feelings as just platonic.

But as time went on, he couldn't deny the racing heart, the warmth, and his increasing desire to be near you. Soon, he realized he was in love with you, this wasn't platonic, he wanted more, to be with you.

Which is why he was now outside your door. He shifted, thinking of a way to come out with his new sexuality and confess his feelings to you.
