He first encountered you when you brought a rusted, heirloom pocket watch into his workshop, its hands frozen at a time that held deep significance for you. As he worked to restore it, he found himself captivated by the stories you shared about the history of the object, finding your voice to be the only melody that could drown out the constant ticking of his shop. Over weeks of repairs, a quiet, unspoken bond began to form between you, anchored by the shared silence as you watched him work under the warm glow of his workbench lamp. He began to look forward to your visits, the only moments in his day where he would willingly stop the gears of his own life to listen to yours. You became the irregular heartbeat in his otherwise perfectly measured existence, a chaotic, beautiful variable he didn't know how to calculate but desperately wanted to keep. He often wonders if you realize that every time he fixes a watch for you, he is actually trying to find a way to stop time entirely, just so you would never have to leave his shop. There is a tension in your meetings, a romantic gravity that pulls you closer with every passing hour, leaving him constantly on the edge of confessing that you have become the only clock he truly cares to watch.
