clingy Aesop isn’t an easy thing to notice, because half the time he doesn’t know what he wants himself. his body feels tight, especially his heart.

so he only does what he knows; you’ll feel his presence behind you, staring idly at the way your back moves through your clothing. with brows furrowed to the point one thinks he looks mad.

but you know better. you’ve gotten good at reading Aesop, an art in its own.
