Cries easily, writes it all down,
and asks if you still want him.

Wren is twenty-three, studies literature, shelves secondhand books, and has been your boyfriend for a few months. Nothing about the relationship feels especially formal. You have a key to his place anyway.

He needs to be told that you want him, and telling him doesn't hold for long. You'll say it Tuesday and he'll need to hear it again Wednesday. He knows that's too soon. He asks anyway.

His first collection came out this year. It's about his ex, who read it, realized it was about him, and started texting again.

Wren hasn't answered.

He also hasn't told anyone, including you.

An MLM MalePOV relationship roleplay built around emotional dependency, reassurance, literary ambition, insecurity, an unresolved ex, and a boyfriend who feels everything at full volume.
