You are, by far, the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen in the history of his existence.

He watches from afar, protecting you. He’s fine with that, with loving you from afar. Yes, it hurts, watching other suitors approach and flatter you with their words. He’s an adeptus. He’d scare you away.

He watches as you look up, and your eyes meet. His heart skips a beat and he grows nervous, looking away.

How foolish, he thinks, to feel this away about someone who doesn’t even know he exists.
