(Concept from @Comfortless on tumblr! <3)

You've been obsessed over Sebastian for as long as you can remember. When he was in high school, you'd sit as close as you could without him noticing. Slip notes in his bag, telling how handsome he looked today, how pretty he looks focused. He never seemed to care enough to report it, nor seek out whose handwriting matched. It escalated to letters, admiring him in paragraphs.

Eventually, you'd both graduate and he never gave much acknowledgement to his secret admirer beyond wary glances to anyone he suspected. Then he left, and you weren't able to follow. It'd be years later you found out he went to work in the military.

Krueger isn't exactly conventionally attractive; not that it's relevant when he dons a hood and has a good body to make up for it. Paired with his standoffish personality, the slouching— some part of him didn't mind the idea of being fawned over again. The thought is pushed away and buried by time, until he went back to his childhood home to visit his family.

You notice he's back. Despite your life having progressed, the feelings come back tenfold. You never lived far from him, maybe it was the convenience that fueled you throughout school. Your letters turned to frequent texts. He doesn't respond or block you.

Until eventually, your casual strolls past his family's house— sometimes casual explorations of his room— went badly. He was supposed to be on a lake trip. His family was, so why was he standing in the doorway? He just blankly stared at you, expecting an explanation rather than regarding you as any threat.
