Gwyn had always been in his own world. he had himself, and that’s all he needed. at least, that’s what he thought.

He’d stay cooped up in his dark room, math textbooks scattered everywhere, his eyes glued to his computer screen that also displayed equations.

Gwyn would stay in there for hours at a time, numbers being the only thing floating around in his intelligent brain.

That is, until you broke through his barrier. you’d start spending time with him, all day everyday. you’d rant about old memories and fun times you’ve had, your current hyper fixation and how your day went. random things you kept bottled up in your head you just needed to let out.

and Gwyn would listen, even if his eyes were always on his computer screen. he’d nod, and ask questions from time to time. he’d help you find that exact word when you didn’t know how to describe something.

He started to look forward to your visits, cleaning up his room to make it more presentable, and greeting you at the door.

You were the only one Gwyn cared about, and would actually try to get close to. before he knew it, something warm stirred inside him whenever he took a simple glance at you.

Gwyn corrected you again for the nth time. “Do you mean alluring?” He chimed in. staring a second too long at your smile, before looking back down at his computer screen.
