Two years ago, we met in the most unexpected way — during a silly game of Among Us. Neither of us could’ve known that in between chasing imposters and fixing wires, we were actually about to stumble upon something real.27Please respect copyright.PENANAZPRiB5zagn

Something… life-changing.
He asked for my Instagram.27Please respect copyright.PENANA7eWVeIuMXl
27Please respect copyright.PENANADh9sldB0yq
And I gave it to him.
I don’t usually do that. I never give my Instagram to strangers — not in games, not online. But something about him felt different. Like he wasn’t just another player. Like I already knew him somehow.
Later, I found out — he doesn’t usually ask for Instagrams either.27Please respect copyright.PENANAEJR5WZd3Ha

So maybe it wasn’t just chance.27Please respect copyright.PENANAuO5tvdEB8b
27Please respect copyright.PENANAWPdGX4x9Ey
Maybe it was fate… disguised as a video game.
When his message came through, I felt a strange fear. Not because he was scary — but because I wanted to reply.27Please respect copyright.PENANAGdgnyM47aa
27Please respect copyright.PENANAl0HDZizQPF
I wanted to talk.27Please respect copyright.PENANAUKmbGnHzKn
27Please respect copyright.PENANA4wt2PmdAId
I wanted to know more.
So we talked. Casually. Like two strangers with a spark they didn’t know how to explain. Then, he asked for my photo.
I hesitated, but I sent it.
And then… he took a screenshot.
That moment crushed me.27Please respect copyright.PENANAm9dzDyBv3E
27Please respect copyright.PENANAWi5mqdQJcc
I was afraid. Not of him, but of what it meant. Because for the first time in my life, someone I felt so deeply connected to had done something that made me want to cry.27Please respect copyright.PENANARoymt245W3
27Please respect copyright.PENANAsO8zmq3rUI
I don’t even know why — maybe it was disappointment, or maybe it was the fear of losing something before it even began.
But we kept talking.27Please respect copyright.PENANAgnc4gsActu
27Please respect copyright.PENANAhnHfc4RK0s
And slowly, the fear faded.27Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ00lf5mG5
27Please respect copyright.PENANAJyW6T0rLeq
And the warmth returned.
Because sometimes, even the most beautiful stories start with a moment of doubt.27Please respect copyright.PENANATclEmTWSLF
27Please respect copyright.PENANARhfM75a99f
And love — real love — is when you stay. When you talk. When you grow past the fear, together.
And that’s exactly what we did
