split headcanons and whatnot

the others liked them, but it was different for me. from the second i laid my eyes on them i knew i couldn't let them go. of course, they needed some work with their clothes, but then again that might just be how i am with everyone. 

as i sit here with them, snuggled up on the couch, i find myself zoning out. a movie is playing. it's their favourite. but i can't bring myself to focus on it. my mind keeps drifting to all the memories – dates, naps, shopping trips. a gentle smile finds its way to my lips.

we met on the street. i'd just gotten out of a therapy session when they caught my eye. (h/c) hair being tossed around by the wind. their laugh echoed through my ears and made me turn my head. as much as i wanted to say something, my body just wouldn't cooperate. i stood there, staring at them as they talked on the phone. once they spotted me they said bye and hung up. they took a few steps towards me and i finally found my voice. "hi, uh, i hope that wasn't too creepy," my hand rested on the back of my neck and my face flushed. "surprisingly enough, you weren't," they responded with a grin. "you're just really attractive," i blurted out. their eyes widened and their cheeks went bright red. "thanks. you too, i suppose," they laughed awkwardly, looking down at the ground. i chuckled. a few moments of awkward silence later our conversation continued. "so, do you live here?" i vaguely motioned to the apartment complex behind them. they nodded with a hum. "you visit doctor fletcher, right?" curiosity was present in their eyes. "yeah, how do you know?" "well, most people who enter and exit the building so fast go there for her." i nodded slowly. "so, can i have your number?" their face lit up at my question.

my smile widened. after that first date i'd always go to their place early to make sure they wore a good outfit. whenever they were around i felt so calm and happy. all my troubles disappeared. and unlike this body, i don't have to share them with the others.

i hope to spend the rest of my life with them.

just something short and sweet :))
