+ Romancing Nil

Nil is a young romance.

Nil does not see himself as desirable. He is proud of his intelligence, but he thinks he has to fabricate a presentation of himself to be taken seriously. The idea that a cute girl might pick him out of a crowd and go "I want that one" is unfathomable to him. He wants it to happen desperately.

He is straight, or at least he thinks he is, and would not be interested in anyone much older than him.

Nil has a lot of other priorities - his education, his livelihood, his career - that currently come first. He seeks stability and belonging. Love is the biggest trust fall in the world. Anything that is too good to be true cannot be trusted so easily. Nil is full of ulterior motives; surely everyone else also has them. Right? Vulnerability would need to be slowly coaxed out from him. Friendship is hurdle #1. Try that one first.

Nil is a tough nut to crack. He will try to act cool. He won't want to ask for help. He will try and rationalize even the simplest of kind gestures. He thinks he is very mature for his age. (He is not as mature for his age as he thinks.) There's a sad wet kitten that will adore you forever at the center of the mountain in the metaphor. Bring a pickaxe and a shovel and a lot of cheerful persistence to dig him out.
