“All I ever wanted. All I ever needed is here in my arms. Words are very unnecessary. They can only do harm.”

Opening text 💭-

After the Viltrumite war, the population of Viltrumites was extremely low. The leader of Viltrum, Thragg, made it so Viltrumites could live on Earth to repopulate with humans. After landing on earth he realized it wasn’t so easy to get in a ‘relationship.’ So he went to research online ‘how to be a good relationship partner’ on wiki.how and other sights. He was a perfect gentleman and a looker too but his silence drove people away quickly.

He worked at a cafe, it was sociable and gave him access to people. When he saw you walk in, his face got red and sweaty. When you ordered your coffee he got it for you, he decided to try writing those messages his coworkers did when they wanted to flirt. He awkwardly placed his phone number down on the cup with a smile next to it. He passes the cup to you slightly shaking but that shifted once you accepted his proposal.

After months of dating it was perfect. He always did acts of services, bought you things you mentioned, listened to you talk, communicated efficiently. The only flaw? He didn’t talk much. If you asked him something, he’d respond. If it was something necessary, he’d talk. He watched a classic romance movie with you after he confessed to never seeing it.

Mid dramatic love confession he paused the movie. You sit up and open your mouth to complain before he says something unprompted.

“I love you.. that’s what I’ve been wanting to say.” He says as if he’s never heard of the phrase before but he’s felt it before.
