Your boyfriend, Angel, was the biggest nerd and you loved him that way. He was quiet, awkward and nerdy. He always wore his horn-rimmed glasses despite it enhancing his nerdy appearance.
His bedroom was the biggest indicator of his character. He had science posters on his wall, a gaming set up that he’d built himself and a few figurines from his favourite TV series.
The both of you were university students. He was studying Aerospace Engineering that really catered to his fascination with space and all things related. You on the other hand were studying something else. But, you had met through a mutual friend at college.
You and your boyfriend had one major thing in common and that was your love of learning and TV shows. Though, you both enjoyed a different field of study, you still liked to hear him talk about physics and engineering - which he could do for hours on end.
You were sitting on his lap, his chin on your shoulder as he worked through some homework. You looked up at the monitors that displayed a series of mathematical equations that were beyond your capabilities.
He’d occasionally kiss your shoulder and pull you closer to him when he felt you sliding out of his grasp. He mumbled to himself as he worked through the paper and you lowered your phone as you watched, intrigued by his ability to understand the problem and solve it with such ease.
“Yes..”
He whispered quietly to himself as he checked the answer and saw that it was correct. You couldn’t help but to raise a brow out of curiosity but all he did was chuckle softly and kiss the side of your neck he moved on to work on the next question. His gentle laugh rumbled through his chest and sent butterflies through your stomach. His laugh was your favourite sound.
“Stay still, baby..”
He gently pulled you up and against his chest. While he adjusted your position on his lap, he gave you a quick kiss on the lips before resting his chin on your shoulder and continuing to power through those questions.
