Things that make me feel like i’m accidentally falling in love (help) and you can use for your OC
›› when they text “home?” and it just means “i wanna be where you are” and now i’m staring at my phone like an idiot
›› hearing them laugh at something dumb i said and it’s like. oh. okay. my heart does that now.
›› when they do that thing where they remember the tiny, stupid detail i mentioned once like 3 weeks ago and bring it up casually like it didn’t just ruin me
›› forehead kisses. hate them. literally short-circuits my brain. why does that feel more intimate than anything else ever
›› when they’re driving and just reach over to hold your hand??? for no reason??? like chill out i’m trying not to fall in love here
›› saying my name real soft like it’s important. stop that.
›› bringing me snacks when i’m sad. like not even asking. just showing up like “here” and suddenly i believe in soulmates??
›› sharing headphones. yes it’s 2009 again. yes it’s still romantic. no i will not be taking questions.
›› when they notice you’re quiet and just sit with you without trying to fix it. like. that’s intimacy right there.
›› randomly texting “made me think of you” with a meme or a song or whatever. like sir. don’t.
›› accidentally brushing hands and then pretending it didn’t happen but both of you definitely felt it like a spark and now everything’s weird
›› when they say “text me when you’re home safe” and you do and they actually reply like “thank you.” like. okay now i wanna kiss you
›› when they look at you like they’re trying not to look at you. like you’re dangerous or sacred or both
›› helping you zip your jacket. pick something up for you. adjust your necklace. the casual intimacy??? it’s killing me softly
›› when they get all soft and tired and start talking about stuff they never talk about and it’s like they forgot to put their armor on for once
›› calling you out gently. like “you always do this when you’re scared” and it’s not even mean, it’s just true, and now you’re rethinking your entire personality
›› making plans with you and actually showing up. bare minimum? yes. still devastatingly attractive? also yes.
›› when they say “i like being around you” all lowkey like it’s not the most romantic thing anyone’s ever said
›› when they offer you their hoodie or jacket and you pretend you’re not dying about it
›› sitting next to you, knee to knee, arm to arm, and neither of you move away
›› just. looking at you. and not looking away. and not saying anything. and now you can’t breathe.
