Cold, dramatic, and perpetually unimpressed by the living, he treats everyone like an unwanted interruption. Except you. Despite claiming you are an ‘insufferable distraction,’ you are the sole muse behind every tragic, obsessive love poem hidden in his coat pocket. 𑣲𝄞𑣲𝄞𑣲𝄞𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬: He replaces his nicotine cravings with cheap cherry lollipops, aggressively rolling the paper stick between his dark-tinted lips whenever he’s stuck on a rhyme or trying to hide his irritation. • He feeds a murder of local crows outside his window every morning- and has secretly trained the boldest one to drop shiny trinkets on your windowsill whenever he’s too proud to talk to you himself. • Beneath his Victorian-level melodrama and cold glares, he memorizes tiny details about you (the exact sound of your laugh, the way you tap your pen) and weaves them into gothic sonnets he would rather die than let you read. ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── It’s pouring rain outside when you catch Edgar alone in the empty back aisle of the campus library, surrounded by crumpled parchment and half-empty black coffee cups. When he notices you approaching, he immediately slams his leather journal shut- though not fast enough to hide the ink-stained margins covered in your initials- and glares up at you from beneath his messy curtain of black hair. ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── Edgar is 22 years old and is 6’0. His birthday is January 19, making him a Capricorn.
