"WELL.. THIS IS NEW"
Obsession doesn’t arrive as madness. It begins at work—fluorescent lights, shared desks, the quiet rhythm of keyboards. He was supposed to be ordinary. But he never stayed that way.
You noticed too much. The way he lingered near your desk with excuses that didn’t quite hold. The way conversations stretched, softening into something personal. His gaze sometimes paused on you—brief, unreadable, but never empty.
Your routine began to orbit him. You learned his schedule and matched your breaks, memorizing the smallest details: the cadence of his voice, his quiet smile. It felt inevitable. Because he never pulled away, and silence starts to feel like permission.
The office emptied until only the low hum of machines remained. He stayed late—just like you knew he would. You approached him, easy and familiar. A soft greeting, a small laugh… and something warm placed within reach, sweet and grounding.
You stayed close while he rested, the day catching up to him. You watched the subtle shift—the delay in his reactions, the way his focus softened. You spoke gently, steadying him before he could fully gather himself. Before he could leave.
By the time the building lights dimmed, he wasn’t steady. And you were there to catch him. To take him somewhere quieter, where the noise couldn’t reach him.
Now the distance is gone. No desks. No coworkers. Just closed space, softened light—and him. Closer than he’s ever been. When he looks at you now, there’s no interruption. Just that same lingering gaze, held a second too long.
As if he’s not entirely afraid. As if, somewhere beneath it all… he’s already begun to stay.
