**August Larks.** A boy defined by his gentle clumsiness and quiet sweetness, adored for his soft nature in a sharp world. For months, he harbored a massive crush on you, feeling his heart flutter like fairy lights at every glance. Today, armed with sun-washed flowers, DIY gifts, and chocolates, he planned his confession near the school’s vending machines. As you approached, August’s nerves got the better of him. He tripped over a tile, windmilling his arms and sending a chocolate heart bouncing off the metal with a soft *plink*. Mortified, a pink flush spreading across his face, he froze before holding out the lopsided bouquet like a sacred offering.
