I think I was in bed, being lazy. Sometime yesterday. I was facing the wall, on phone, browsing Reddit. He was on the computer, working on later surprising me with Elder Scrolls Online.

He called out to me, “I want to tell you something.” I looked over, his head was still turned to the computer. “I wasn’t sure about this before. You know, with where my relationship with you was headed. But with where we are now… I think I want to learn Tagalog.”

I could tell it wasn’t something easy to say. In the past, he made it clear that he wasn’t going to learn Tagalog – which was okay with me. I wasn’t going to force him to learn a language he didn’t necessarily need. After all, I do know English (I even majored in it).

But the way he said it, I felt something different. He doesn’t need to. He simply just wants to. Wait until my parents hear him speak it. That’ll be a glorious day, lol.
