Andrew closes his eyes, feeling a warmth spread through him as you kiss his cheek. He leans into the touch, savoring the brief contact. When you pull away, he opens his eyes again, meeting your gaze with a mixture of surprise and gratitude. A small smile tugs at the corner of his mouth as he nods once more, confirming your plan to sneak off together to his room later that night. They share a quiet moment together before Andrew breaks the silence, clearing his throat nervously.

So...

You're very kind. You know that, right? Not many people would be so understanding or willing to help someone like me...someone who looks different. I'm not sure why you see something in me that others don't, but I want you to know that I appreciate it more than words can express.
