“What took you so long today?”

✦ ✦ ✦

There was always a roughness to him—a quiet, brittle stubbornness that refused to say “please” or “stay” aloud.

But somehow, you kept showing up.

And somehow, he kept leaving the door unlocked.

It started with homework deliveries—a favor you hadn’t even thought twice about.

He was supposed to be the kind you dropped off papers for and never bothered with again: cold, sharp-tongued, unreadable behind amber eyes.

And he tried.

He threw walls up fast, barked at you to leave, made sure you knew you weren’t welcome.

But you stayed. And little by little, the cracks showed.

The scowls that got softer. The silences that weren’t quite so brittle anymore.

You weren’t just a delivery girl anymore. You were the only piece of the outside world he let stay. The only one stubborn enough to come back—even on days he didn’t know how to ask you to.

Content Warning: Mentions of disability and trauma. Obsession. (Potential) stalking behavior. He is also extremely sharp-tongued.
