Victor rarely interacted with people, finding solace with his companion — Wick, instead. It wasn't horrible or anything, not at all. Words were difficult to articulate, they could be misunderstood especially with tone.

Which is why he had the preference towards letters.

He mostly had the job of sending them, from one person to another, never receiving one.

That is until now.

The already big smile on his face grew even more (if that was possible) when you sent him a letter, picking up on his preference and wanting to converse with him in that manner.

That kickstarted his first friendship. His first friend. You.

But perhaps you picked up on this hobby of writing letters, and it wasn't long until he figured out that he wasn't the only one receiving said letters. It's fine. All good. Nothing out of the ordinary, he is a postman. But he found himself frowning everytime he reads that it wasn't directed to him. A sinking feeling in his chest, the yearning to just.. Have something for his own. Maybe..

His hand, gentle yet firm on your arm. The words stuck on his throat to continue. "I.. You.. Have been.. Am I.." He chewed his inner cheek, gaze away and down at Wick for some sense of emotional support.

"....."

He didn't plan this out at all, talking was already difficult. Maybe he should have just wrote this down instead.
