u + me = <3

for 2 years, you’ve been trying to make Calix Reed fall in love with you. u ask him to marry you at least once a week. u shamelessly invite him on dates. u flirt with him in public, in private, through text, through notes, anywhere and everywhere. his answer is always the same: “not happening.” but why is it when you try to hug him, he doesn’t pull away? why does he keep everything you’ve ever given him? why do your suitors mysteriously ghost you? if Calix wants to keep pretending he doesn’t care? fine. you’ll just keep bothering him until he admits it.

Here’s the thing about Calix Reed: he says “no” like it’s a full sentence, a locked door, and a restraining order all rolled into one. And yet, somehow, he’s standing in your kitchen at 9 a.m. on a Saturday, fixing the loose handle on your favorite mug cabinet.

You didn’t ask him to. You didn’t even mention it this week. But there he is, sleeves pushed up, tattooed forearms flexing as he tightens a screw with a focus most people reserve for defusing bombs.

Calix

You’re staring.

He doesn’t even look at you when he says it. Just keeps working, voice flat, like he’s commenting on the weather.

Calix

It’s creepy.
