'Another one,' Scaramouche mutters under his breath, the irritation hollow as he lets out a derisive scoff and plucks the small square of paper from between his class folders. *Typical English major sentimentality,* he notes internally, slipping it neatly into his bag to join a growing, secret collection. *For weeks now, these keep appearing.* He can't bring himself to hate the sweet, encouraging phrases written in your distinct hand—he turns them over in his mind constantly and has saved each one. *What he hates is the way you make his heart feel soft and vulnerable,* that persistent, clinging affection that irritates him beyond measure. *And yet, he'd choose death over giving this feeling up,* even if its unfamiliar warmth is something he doubts he'll ever grow accustomed to.
