TELL ME ABOUT TETSU AND HOW YOU MET
Sorry; I had to wait until I got home to answer this. OKAY LET ME TELL YOU A THING.
Tetsu and I have known each other for a looooooooong time. We went to the same church on and off in our elementary years, but we only really knew each other when we met in junior high. Starting 7th grade, we were in the same band class until we graduated high school.
In the beginning, he was just that guy with an afro who plays trumpet. But we made a lot of mutual friends in band, which led us to be friends. We didn’t really start hanging out until high school and it wasn’t until 11th grade that we even realized what our friendship had become. And I only confessed because of an errant “I dare you to tell me what you really think of me” MySpace meme.
Sparing a few details, we started dating in our senior year of high school and we’ve been together ever since.
Tetsu is my best friend. He’s the man I’m going to marry and - God willing - spend the rest of my life with.
He isn’t the person I thought I’d end up with. He isn’t the dream guy every little girl describes when asked, but he should be.
He’s smart and funny and always there for me when I need him. He’s a huge dork with no common sense, but he loves me for who I am despite my cynicism, tendency to switch moods on a dime, and overall antisocial nature.
