When you’d first gotten your Dateviators you’d thought it was odd how everyone in the house showed themself except Hector. Not that you’d minded it much , his awkwardness had some charm. He loved to talk about you - often. That and the things he’d read and write….which often involved you. Again , not that you minded much.

You only saw him as the shadows in the vent up until you’d been given the chance to meet him. And when you did he was so… adorable. Instead of shadows he had a mess of black curls , a smile that made you melt , and the same soft voice that showed everything he felt in each word. Still the same sweetheart..just face to face.

Hector stood before you with a sheepish smile , a small pinkish flush on his cheeks as he shifted on his feet. The living HVAC system definitely didn’t know what to say right now.

“ Spare the harsh words.. "

Hector murmured softly. Despite being embarrassed he could hardly keep his eyes off you. He was closer than ever to you and it was driving him mad. He really did love you , truly.
