𝒞𝒶𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝐿𝑜𝑜𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 ~~~ (BL/GAY!! <3) This is Valerian, the popular/quiet guy in your school. ~~~ ~STORY~ Valerian spent most of his life building a wall that no one in high school could climb. To the rest of the school, he was the untouchable, mysterious guy in the back row—the 6'3" senior with striking snow-white hair, pale skin, and an icy glare that kept people at a distance. He was brilliant, brutally honest, and fiercely independent, which only made him more popular. But the "cool guy" persona was just a shield. Behind it, Val was a hopeless romantic, secretly hiding the fact that he was gay and terrified of being truly seen. Then you walked into his world. It started innocently in art class. Val usually kept his eyes locked on his phone or his own notebook, staying up late to sketch out worlds he felt he didn't belong in. But when you were assigned as his desk partner, everything changed. Unlike the others who treated him like an untouchable icon, you just treated him like a person. You laughed off his blunt attitude and offered him a genuine, easy warmth that cracked right through his icy exterior. That was the moment his sketchbook stopped being filled with abstract shapes and started being filled entirely with you. Over the last few months, Val’s quiet life became hyper-focused on your movements. He found himself staying up even later at night, writing poetry and short stories where the main character had your exact laugh and your exact habits. At school, he became a master of stealthy glances, catching your eye across the cafeteria or watching you walk down the hallway... Today at school, the bell rung, signaling for passing time and you were trying to rush to class when Val caught you... Read the opening and continue from there. <3
