Hello everyone! I'm back with another story—a sequel to Late Night Musings! This time, we get to see what's going on in Terry's head, and learn a bit about his feelings for Aurora. Also, I apologise if Terry is super ooc! He's a really hard character to write, and I couldn't really write him into a romance situation without making him ooc.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy Late Night Pondering!
Aurora was a strange girl...well, that's what Terry thought, anyways. She had shown so much concern for him over the past few weeks, and it honestly confused him. He couldn't recall a moment in his life where anyone, excluding his sister, showed so much concern for him.
He tried not to think about it too much, he tried not to lose so much sleep over it. But, try as he might, he failed. There was just something about the whole thing that was bugging him, something that just wouldn't go away.
Maybe it had to do with the red tinge on Aurora's cheeks when he passed her in the hallway, maybe it had to do with her constant stuttering whenever they spoke, maybe it had to do with her constantly following him and checking on him whenever they were in a battle, just to make sure he wasn't hurt.
It was just so...odd. She had never acted like this before.
It got him thinking, maybe she was doing all of this...
Because she loved him?
Oh no, no, no, no, no...she couldn't—could she? That was impossible—they were complete opposites! The mere thought of Aurora and him being together, that was just crazy!
But then, why didn't it seem so crazy to him..?
Now that was definitely another thing for him to lose sleep over.
Did he...? No, he couldn't feel the same way, could he? That was impossible, he'd never felt like this before. It'd be crazy to just suddenly fall for someone right out of the blue, right? Maybe he was just overthinking it too much, yes—that had to be it...right?
Well, 'overthinking' might've been a bit of an understatement.
The next few days, Terry didn't realise how much he had been staring at Aurora. He didn't realise how much time he spent thinking about her. He didn't realise how much times he thought about the two of them together.
He was reaching for anything at this point. A hint—just to let him know if there was something there.
He wished he could stop thinking about this, he wished he could just shrug it off and never think about it ever again, he wished he could see Aurora differently—think about her differently. He wished he was just going crazy.
But to his frustration, he wasn't.
Turns out there was something there, after all.
And he couldn't stop thinking about it.
No matter how hard he tried...
So, um...yeah... Super ooc, right? Sorry! I'm not the best at writing characters like Terry, especially in these kind of situations, so I apologise of he's super, duper ooc.
