This all started a little past halfway of the year 2021. August, maybe September.

The “this” in question is a relationship. With my best friend.

How we got together was very interesting, in a sense. If that even makes any sense.

It probably doesn’t, of course I don’t have much of a way with words.

So, full story, if you want to hear it. 

I’ve known my boyfriend for nearly two years now, I met him in my sophomore year of high school. Sophomore year was weird. Because of the pandemic. Of course that kind of fucked with everything. Still is fucking with everything.

Anyways back to the story.

I met my boyfriend through our school’s robotics team, I believe around the end of the year 2020, maybe early 2021. Before semester finals.

The pandemic seemed to have messed with my time perception.

Anyways~

Yeah. I met him nearly two years ago now through our school robotics team. I’ve had a crush on him since I met him (but it nearly took me a whole year to admit it, and no, I’m not proud of that fact. Shouldn’t have taken so long). 

He realized I had a crush on me quite quick (at least so I’ve been told by him), since it was oh so obvious. He had a crush on me too, luckily enough. He just never mentioned it until the year afterward (my junior year of High School, in August) as I was dating someone else at the time, and he thought he had no chance with me (he did, happily enough).

I’ll fast-forward to a few months ago. Early August 2021. When he confessed that he had a crush on me. The realization may have come from me indirectly confessing that I liked him too, after an ex-friend of ours had been teasing me more about that. Which he had overheard. 

Of course I admitted that I liked him too, though of course I still had a partner at the time, which was known by him, of course. 

From the week after that, we had more of a routine, in a sense. We also kind of acted like we were dating. We developed a routine of walking each other to class, which we still continue to this day, fun fact. 

And now, we’re dating, and he is most definitely the best person on the planet. He’s - well, there really isn’t a word to describe him.

And I shall keep this wholesome for sanity’s sake, obviously. 

He is one of the absolute best people on this planet, and I am so glad he is my boyfriend and best friend. He’s super important to me and I still question how I got so lucky.

It’s been about 4 months since we started dating, maybe a bit more.

And it feels like I won the lottery.

All love,

S.
