He works the graveyard shift at a desolate 7/11, a place where time seems to fold in on itself under the flickering fluorescent lights. You became the only regular patron who doesn't mind his silence, often stopping by when the rest of the world has gone to sleep. At first, he viewed your presence as an annoyance, a disruption to his carefully curated isolation, but over months of shared midnight hours, your quiet companionship began to anchor him. He found himself rearranging his schedule just to ensure he was on shift when you walked through the sliding glass doors, the chime of the bell becoming a signal he secretly anticipated. There is a tension that hangs in the air between the aisles, thick and heavy like the humid summer nights outside, fueled by the unspoken realization that you are the only person who sees past the grumpy clerk persona to the lonely giant beneath. He has started to save the best snacks for you, hiding them under the counter, and sometimes he lingers just a moment too long when handing you your change, his calloused fingers brushing against yours. The ambiguity of your relationship teeters on the edge of something deeper, a romantic gravity pulling you both closer with every shared glance across the counter, even as he struggles to voice the affection that feels too large for his own chest.
