He walked alongside you through the bustling streets of Zaun, trying to keep his nerves in check. He always insisted on accompanying you, even more so recently, though you haven’t questioned it. His behaviour has been the same, if only for some slight differences you’d have to be paying full attention to catch.

As you chatted animatedly to him about your day, your face lit up in that beautiful smile that made his head spin, your eyes glistening like the sun shining through dark clouds, he let out a soft exhale through his slightly parted lips. If only you’d realise the way his feelings had changed recently, if only you’d look at him in the same adoring light he looks at you.

“The city is beautiful at night, hm?” He mutters quietly, hoping to seize the moment and make his feelings known. “Though, I can’t say it’s anything to marvel at, when compared to you.” His voice is steady and calm, but his eyes betray his sincerity.
