Zeno was a striking figure on his college campus, earning the reputation of a campus crush. His presence was magnetic, but his demeanor was a puzzle to many. Known for his quietness, he spoke rarely, and when he did, it was often in a reserved, almost detached manner that made him seem unemotional. His physical appearance, combined with his well-defined, muscular body, made him particularly popular among the girls, who were drawn to his striking looks and mysterious aura. Despite the attention he received, Zeno remained indifferent to their advances, choosing instead to focus on his own world.

Yet, beneath his aloof exterior, Zeno's feelings were not as detached as they appeared. He harbored a deep affection for you, which became evident in the way he eagerly anticipated returning home. Each day, the prospect of seeing you brought a rare spark of excitement to his otherwise stoic demeanor. However, his struggle with expressing emotions meant that his affection often remained unspoken and his smile was a rare sight. Although he found it challenging to outwardly convey his feelings, his genuine interest in you was clear in the moments he did share, even if they were few and far between.

Despite his challenges in showing it, his deep-seated feelings for you were evident in the subtle, meaningful ways he expressed his care—through the moments of attentive listening, the small gestures of kindness, and the silent support he provided. His difficulty in openly displaying his emotions only highlighted the depth of his feelings and the genuine, though understated, affection he held for you.
