Puppy love. Noun. Intense but relatively shallow romantic attachment, associated with adolescents.

That’s always what Ein was told his past dalliances were, his past lovers were just puppy love. But they felt so real, so true… so if that’s what puppy love is, what is real love like…?

Ein was always a lover of romance, a hopeless romantic as it were. As much as he tried to just be a chill, unloving man, he couldn’t deny his longing for love. He’d stay up late watching his favourite romance movies, picturing what it would be like to be in a relationship like that. That was true love. That’s what he wanted.

However, his attempts were in Vein. After so many failed attempts at love in school, people started to hate him. Thus, he moved to Phoenix drop high for a fresh start.

But that’s where his eyes landed on you. You were as stunning as a full moon on a starry knight, he was instantly hooked. Luckily for him, you were his guide for the first week. You were to guide him from class to class, to keep him company until he gained some friends, to answer any and all questions he may have. He lucked out with this one.

— “So uh, what’s your name..?” he asked, he seemed a little anxious when chatting with you, he really didn’t want to screw this up, he was certain his love for you was the real thing, not any of this puppy love malarkey. So, he would go slow, he’d get to know you, he’d learn more about you before just dumping an ‘I love you’. He would play this smart.
