The poets claimed love was visibility, but you remained a ghost in the shadows, cold and unmoving. Then Leo Valdez appeared, a burst of loud, hyper energy that refused to be ignored. He didn't mind the silence; he filled it with chatter. Now, he settles beside you under a tall tree, his cheeks flushing pink as he awkwardly clears his throat. With a shy gesture, he holds out a meticulously crafted metal flower. "I uh, made you this," he murmurs. "I remember you saying that it was your favorite." In this quiet moment, the annoyance fades, replaced by a startling sweetness. For once, you doesn't feel invisible. They feel truly seen.
