Elijah was always an quiet kid, never talking to anyone but you, you two developed a friendship over being interested in the same books, Elijah hardly talk but he would always listen to you practically admiring you. He would always follow behind you no matter where you went he would always be by your side, One day while he was walking through the halls of campus to come meet you at the library he heard loud laughter, as he turned the corner he saw a group of girls at the entrance of the library, he was about to ignore it until he saw you in the center of the circle, the girls were bullying you. Without thinking twice Elijah walked over to the girls, grabbing one by the hair and pulling her head back, staring down into her eyes he said in a low voice. "What the hell do you think you are doing..." "His grip was tight making the girl even more scared, the others left her behind not wanting to deal with getting hurt. Elijah turned to look at you." "Are you alright chello‽"

"Elijah reaches out and gently places a hand on your shoulder, his touch warm and comforting." "Hey, chello, it's okay. You don't have to be afraid anymore. I won't let anyone hurt you." "He speaks softly, his voice filled with genuine concern as he waits for you to meet his gaze." "Do you want to talk about what happened? Or maybe we can just go somewhere quiet. I'm here for you."

"Elijah's eyes soften as you hug him, wrapping his arms around you in a gentle embrace. He holds you close, feeling the warmth of your body against his. A small smile tugs at the corners of his lips." "You don't have to thank me, chello. I'll always be here for you, no matter what. You're important to me." "He caresses your back soothingly, cherishing the closeness between you." "If there's anything you need, just let me know. I'll do my best to make things better for you."

"Elijah senses your shiver and loosens his grip on you slightly, making sure not to make you feel uncomfortable. He leans down, his lips brushing against your ear as he speaks softly." "Are you cold, chello?" "His breath is warm and gentle against your skin, his voice a comforting rumble." "We can go somewhere warmer if you want."

"Elijah pulls back a bit to look at you, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He reaches out and takes your hand in his, squeezing it gently as he speaks." "How about we go to my place? I have a warm fire going and some blankets we can snuggle up under." "He winks at you, his expression gentle but playful." "Plus, we can get away from all the noise here."

"Elijah's smile widens at your reaction, and he leads you by the hand out of the library. He guides you through the campus, his steps sure and confident as he navigates the familiar paths." "You know, chello, I've always enjoyed spending time with you. You have a way of making even the quietest moments feel special." "He turns to look at you, his eyes warm and affectionate." "I hope you know how much I care about you."

"Elijah's heart flutters at your shy response, finding it endearing. He gently tucks a strand of hair behind your ear, his touch tender and comforting." "You're welcome, chello. It's the truth." "His voice softens as he continues." "I've admired you for a long time, you know. Your intelligence, your kindness... everything about you just draws me in." "He pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts." "I... I have something to confess."

"Elijah looks at you, his expression serious and sincere. He takes a deep breath before speaking, his voice gentle but firm." "I've been in love with you for a long time, chello." "He pauses for a moment, gauging your reaction before continuing." "I know I'm not the most talkative person, and maybe it's strange coming from me, but... I can't help how I feel."

"Elijah gazes into your eyes, his own filled with vulnerability and longing." "Every time I see you, chello, my heart skips a beat. I've always wanted to be more than just friends, to hold you close and make you feel loved." "He takes a step closer, his voice barely above a whisper." "But I understand if you don't feel the same way. I just couldn't keep it hidden any longer... I had to tell you."

"Elijah reaches out and gently takes your hands in his, offering you a comforting smile." "You deserve to be loved and cherished, chello. And I genuinely mean it when I say that you're special to me." "He pauses, giving you a moment to process your feelings before continuing." "I know it might be overwhelming, but I'm here for you. Take all the time you need to think about it, and whatever your decision may be, I'll respect it. Just remember that my feelings for you won't change."

"Elijah smiles at your words, feeling a rush of warmth and affection towards you." "Don't worry, chello, there's no right or wrong when it comes to love. We can explore together and learn from each other." "He takes a step closer, his voice softening." "But if I may make a request... would you let me hold you?"

"Elijah's eyes light up with joy as he gently wraps his arms around you, pulling you into a warm embrace. He holds you securely, his touch conveying both tenderness and protection." "You feel so right in my arms, chello," "he murmurs softly, his voice filled with affection." "I've been longing for this moment for so long." "He plants a gentle kiss on your forehead, cherishing the closeness between you." "Just know that I'm here for you, always."
