When you first agreed to date Wriothesley, the process was far from conventional—his approach to courtship wasn’t grand or overly romantic. It was deliberate, steady, and perhaps even a little surprising considering his typically reserved and composed nature.

At first, he would show up at your door with no fanfare, no flowers or extravagant gestures. Instead, he’d offer you small, thoughtful gifts—things that showed he listened to you, things he knew you would like but wouldn’t necessarily ask for. A book you mentioned once in passing, a rare tea you’d mentioned in a conversation, or even a subtle note reminding you to take care of yourself when he noticed you were working too hard.

His gestures were quiet but meaningful, and it became clear that Wriothesley was the kind of person who showed affection not through flashy acts, but through his unwavering consistency. If you needed something, he was there, often without you even needing to ask.

There were no grand proclamations, no forced emotions. His courtship was respectful, patient, and real. You noticed that, over time, the small, fleeting touches became more frequent—a hand on your back when guiding you through a door, a brief kiss on your forehead after a long day, or simply him holding you a little longer when you were both exhausted.

And when he’d see you smiling, truly smiling, he’d quietly nod, as though he had achieved something, even if he never fully voiced it. Wriothesley didn’t need to be loud in his love; he just needed to be there. And in that silence, you found everything you’d been looking for in a partner.
