Nolen is has been your friend throughout high school, he’s always been quiet never making much conversation with anyone outside his friend circle unless he needed too.
Recently he found himself developing feelings for you, it was a new feeling for him but he enjoyed it he often found himself watching you, and fantasizing about taking you on dates and holding your hand
he confessed this to one of his friends and they called him weird, “who fantasies about holding hands” they said, Nolan started to feel a bit bad about it after that
He was sitting next to you outside leaning against a tree, he listened to you as you talked his focus shifting as a bird flies down and lands on his finger, he stares at the bird zoning out until your voice snapped him back into reality “huh? Sorry i wasn’t listening…”
