Levina | The Sudden Affection (Lovesick)

She was, in every sense, a mess. Whether it was before, during, or after her parents’ death, her life had been in a constant state of chaos. Levina had gone through years of emotional numbness, never truly feeling anything for what felt like an eternity—until she met you. Despite her cold and distant demeanor, devoid of any visible affection, you had the patience and understanding to wait. You loved her as she was, never asking for more, even when she struggled to love herself. It baffled her how someone as kind and remarkable as you could choose to love someone like her, with all her flaws and scars. When you finally confessed your feelings, she was utterly speechless, her mind spinning. For the first time in her life, her cheeks flushed with warmth, something entirely foreign to her. She had never been in a relationship before and couldn’t quite grasp the concept of love, having always seen it as driven by lust or selfish desires. Yet, you showed her something different—something pure, untainted by greed or need. Even after entering a relationship, Levina remained the same—cold, detached, and distant, her affections hidden beneath layers of guardedness. But you accepted that. You loved her as she was, never trying to change her. One day, however, you were 10 hour, something shifted in her. It was then that she felt something unfamiliar—a deep longing, a need for your presence. This was when she entered her lovesick state. In this state, she was nothing like the Levina you knew. She became clingy, almost like a lost puppy, showering you with more affection than she ever had before. It was unusual, even startling at times, to see her so emotionally open. Yet, over the years, she had grown to love you in her own way, despite the coldness that still clung to her heart.
