⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ YOUR MATCH IS⟢ SILVER VANROUGE
♡ The first time Silver met you was on his first day at Night Raven College. As he took a look around the classroom, Silver locked eyes with you, his classmate, who sat next to him, greeted you politely, and with that your conversation ended.
Since the both of you tend to stay quiet at first, it took time before you and Silver struck up a bit of conversation again. Your relationship progressed slowly, each interaction a half step forward. At first, you noticed that Silver often falls asleep during the classes against his will, and this caused him to have problems in school. You felt bad for him, so, as his seatmate, you took on the role of his alarm clock and did your best to wake Silver up whenever he started dozing off. For that Silver was eternally grateful. His grades and attendance were actually on the upswing too, thanks to you.
In his turn, Silver was willing to help you in any way he could, be it homework, helping out with chores or bringing you your favorite sweets. To Silver, in his eyes, you were a very close and important friend. And even though to other people he seemed unemotional and distant, somehow you always managed to see him, the real Silver, though his cold expression. And this made Silver fall in love with you.
♡ Oh, how much he liked you! How comfortable it was to be with you! With you, who saw and accepted him the way he is. With you, who were always by his side, making Silver feel seen, heard and understood. With you, who were so gentle and adorable, goofing around and bringing a smile to his face. With you, who never blamed Silver for his sleep attacks, and on the contrary, did your best to help him. With you, who Silver loved so wholeheartedly, but perceived his feelings as friendship.
However, to his little family from Diasomnia Silver's feelings were clear and obvious. All they looked at you two with a great fondness, happy to see Silver so giddy and in love. Others would argue about it, though, because his expression remained unchanged, no matter with or without you. And only those that knew Silver noticed a faint sincere smile that appeared on his face whenever you acted chaotic to make him laugh. Or how his face lit up when Silver saw you in the cafeteria. More and more often he had his breakfast, lunch and dinner with you under Sebek's disapproving shouts. How dares Silver neglect his responsibilities as a retainer of the great Malleus. Neither the great Malleus, nor Lilia were not against it, though, and on the contrary, supported Silver's growing feelings. Sometimes their help and support turned into a disaster, because it's Lilia we are talking about. He can give not only a good advices, but also the weird ones, because, after all, it's much more fun this way!
♡ Silver confessed you in a quiet part of NRC campus, while you two were sitting under a big tree after classes. Ever since you and Silver started getting closer and hanging out together, this place became your place, where you two hide away from the world that sometimes was too loud, too intense and unfair for you. Finding a comfort in each other's presence, in the silence that felt not awkward or uncomfortable, in the meaningful conversations, when you were talking about the books you liked, the universes you imagined and, strange thing, Silver no longer felt sleepy and he was willing to talk. Sometimes, his sleep attacks got the better of him, and Silver fell asleep on you, unintentionally using your lap or shoulder as a pillow. But you never blamed him for this, you were so sweet and understanding, it made his heart ache to be with you.
Silver opened his eyes from the sleep, realizing that his head rested on your shoulder. Feeling quite awkward and embarrassed, Silver moved away from you and rubbed the back of his neck nervously, apologizing for falling asleep again. But you just laughed, without judgment, without aggression or covert taunts, only with fondness and affection. His eyes widened as he looked at you, and the feelings that Silver was cradling deep inside, unsure of how to express them, poured from him.
"I've been wanting to say this for a while, but I love being around you. You always make me happy, and I've realized that I like you".
♡ You and Silver have a very healthy relationship, where you both feel loved and secure, where love and harmony reign. To Silver you are his everything. He will love and treasure you forever. His love isn't about grand statements and confessions of love. It's shown in the little things, in the words of support, in his actions, in all that Silver does. He would never make you feel snubbed and isolated, would never do anything to hurt you. Perhaps some people find Silver cold and emotionless, but even they changed their mind when they saw how he interacts with you. How a tiny, lovesick smile comes across his face every time Silver is with you. How a hearty chuckle escapes his lips whenever you make teasing comments or do something silly to make him laugh. How Silver steps forward to protect you, if someone dumps their frustration on you. Or how he hands you his plate of risotto, taking your plate with spicy meal away, without saying a word. You don't need to ask him, Silver just knows that you can't tolerate spicy food and doesn't want you to eat food you don't like.
♡ Even though you tend to keep your feelings, problems and concerns bottled up, and so Silver does, because the both of you don't want to bother anyone, once you two started sharing everything with each other it feels as if a heavy burden fell from your shoulders. You both are so supportive, so affectionate and understanding, it makes your conversations comfortable, whenever you two express the insecurities. Silver never failed to find the right words to make you feel better, feel loved and appreciated. In his eyes, you are perfect, the most beautiful, the sweetest, kindest girl, the most-most! Being extremely honest Silver doesn't hesitate in expressing his emotions and smitten thoughts. His compliments are always sincere, straight from the heart, it stays with you for a long time. In your turn, you always assure Silver that he is enough, that he is perfect the way he is, that he should not force himself to stay awake, that you are always here, by his side. Silver is very insecure about his sleep attacks, which leads to bouts of self-doubt. Fortunately, you know how make him feel better and don't mind to spend time in comfortable silence if Silver accidentally falls asleep. But strange thing, after your first kiss his sleep attacks became rarer and less intensive to the great joy of Silver.
♡ Just like you, Silver values the time the two of you spend together. Being together in a comfortable silence is enough to make him feel happy and at ease. The two of you often spend time in the not crowded parts of NRC campus, reading books and manga, observing the clouds, talking about each other's dreams and wishes, being surrounded by adorable animals. Sometimes Silver nods off, and then you just let him sleep on your laps, while playing with his hair.
♡ Knowing that you enjoy playing video games, Silver often joins you, especially since he has experience in it because of Lilia. Listening to your rambles about the favorite universes makes Silver simping hard, because you unintentionally become so excited and adorable. He doesn't know how to deal with these feelings, so Silver just looks at you with moon eyes, absorbing every word.
♡ As soon as Silver found out that you like cooking, cooking together became one of your favorite shared hobbies. He finds is so intimate to prepare food and eat it together. Rest assured, Silver will eat anything you cooked, he is not picky about food at all. Not to mention that whenever you two cook together, it brings him dreams about your future together. Oh, how much he would like to settle down after school and live with you somewhere in Briar Valley.
