I admit.. I don’t know how intimacy works, nor am I a connoisseur in writing romance, but I did my best with this drabble. It was very fun to write in an attempt to depict the nuances of intimacy - the vulnerability and personal-battle aspects. Intimacy is, in fact, very scary. Frightening, even.
I made a strong connection to this fic with the song Like Real People Do by Hozier. The song is a metaphor for bog bodies to describe new relationships. I found it incredibly beautiful, as per Hozier song material nature haha, and so I incorporated a momentary reference and foundation for it in this story. No one is pure, and I think that’s what makes romance so fascinating in my idealistic eyes. I am a stranger to romance, but I find romance in fiction and as depicted in poetry and various mediums very fascinating. Of course, I don't actually know what it feels like, but this is creative writing. With writing, you're meant to get creative.
Anyways, I enjoyed whipping this fic up. I wrote it within a day, but I polarised most of my day on this fic - so I believe that it's not just a throwaway story just so I could get it done in time for Valentine's.
