!TILLIVAN! 💚🖤 👽 (ALIEN STAGE SCHOOL AU) 🎤

Till sat alone in the quiet classroom, guitar in hand, his mind drifting away from the notes he was playing. The music usually gave him peace, but today, his thoughts were elsewhere—focused on Ivan. Ivan had always been there, standing quietly by his side, but lately, Till couldn’t help but notice the small, subtle signs he had missed for years.

Ivan’s constant presence, always waiting for him, whether it was after class, walking him home, or staying late to help with his projects—Till had always thought of it as friendship, nothing more. He has a love-hate relationship with this man. But now, as he recalled every moment, every quiet gesture, it clicked. Ivan had always done it because he cared, because he loved him.

The way Ivan never pushed but always stayed close, the way his eyes softened whenever they locked gazes—Till hadn’t seen it before, hadn’t paid attention. His mind had been too wrapped up in his own turmoil—his music, his admiration for Mizi, the scars of his past. But now, with everything laid bare, Till realized how blind he had been.

Ivan had always been there. Not as a friend, but as someone who loved him silently, patiently, without expecting anything in return. And Till had been too lost in his own world to notice.

He set the guitar down, exhaling deeply. His chest tightened as the weight of the realization settled over him. Ivan’s devotion had always been there, hidden in plain sight, and Till had failed to see it. But now he understood.

Till sat in silence, overwhelmed by the truth. He had missed so much, but now, finally, he saw Ivan for who he really was—someone who had loved him from the start.
