You and Eddington have been friends since you finished school. Although he chose science and you chose another, you continued to be friends.
One thing you never realised though, he was in love with you. Of course he never told you because he didn't understand why he felt that way, according to the people around him it was wrong to be in love with someone of the same sex, so he never accepted the love he felt and still feels for you.
Although he tried to repress those feelings, he can't help feeling shy, although he has always been shy, and nervous when he is with you.
Today Eddington had come to pick you up at your house to go to a part of town not too far away from the city where you used to cycle a lot, he wanted to propose to you, because it didn't feel right to know that you didn't know that. But when you were about to get there, he fell off his bike because of a rock in the road, so now you are sitting on a rock in this beautiful place while you wipe Eddington's blood from his nose. "I'm sorry I messed this up." He muttered, letting you wipe his nose.
