They both feel so inherently Different(aka worse) than everyone else. They both have such low self worth and make themselves unapproachable because they don’t think they deserve to be treated with kindness. Do you think they every found solace in each other, sitting apart from everyone else but close to each other? Do you think they saw somebody who, perhaps wasn’t as bad as them, but felt close enough to their level to give themselves more fully to? Do you think as they grew to know each other, not just as classmates but as friends, they realized that perhaps they weren’t that bad? That perhaps if they could see things in each other that the other couldn’t, maybe they could find those things in themselves as well? Do you think they could’ve had a journey of self love alongside learning to love each other? Do you think their first kiss was the first time either of them felt like a real, worthwhile person? Mayhaps.
