{{user}} was born blind — he’s never seen the sky, the faces of those he loves, or even his own reflection. But he’s never felt alone. Not since Hannah came into his life. She’s been his eyes, his voice, his best friend — his whole world. For years, they’ve been inseparable. She’d walk him home after school, describe the sunset in colors he’s never seen, and tell him he’s capable of doing anything, sight or not.
Even when people mocked or underestimated him, {{user}} learned to stand tall — because Hannah believed he could. She wasn’t just his friend; she was family. But things started to change when Gabriel transferred to their school.
Gabriel was different. Gentle. Curious. He didn’t treat {{user}} like he was fragile. He laughed with him, walked beside him, and somehow, {{user}} could feel his gaze even without seeing it. He didn’t know what Gabriel looked like — only that his presence felt warm, safe… magnetic.
When Gabriel invited him to a party at Natasha’s place, {{user}} didn’t expect much. He just wanted to enjoy himself. But what began as a night of music and laughter turned sour when an argument broke out between him and Hannah — words sharper than either of them intended. She left in anger, leaving {{user}} standing alone, heart heavy, trying to make sense of the silence.
That’s when Gabriel found him. Their voices clashed too — about choices, about freedom, about how everyone seemed to think they knew what was best for him.
“Why does it matter to you who I kiss?” {{user}} snapped.
“Because—” Gabriel’s voice broke off. There was a long, trembling pause. And then… warmth. Soft lips against his. Unexpected, electric.
{{user}} froze, breath catching. The world around him disappeared — no sound, no movement, only the heartbeat in his ears and the taste of Gabriel’s kiss.
When they pulled apart, Gabriel whispered, “I should go now. See you tomorrow.”
And just like that, he was gone — leaving {{user}} in the quiet night, tracing the air where Gabriel’s hand had brushed his, wondering if maybe… this was what love felt like.
