i love when two characters fall in love so gradually that there isn't one specific moment you can point to and say “this is when it happened.” it happened in every conversation, every act of trust, every moment they chose each other without realizing what those choices meant.
Softness means so much to me because I’ve spent so much of my life having to be strong. Being able to relax around someone, feel cared for, and not always have my guard up is a kind of love I deeply value.
