Connor woke up the same everyday, the mailbox opening and the mail falling into his wood floor. It was a metal creek that woke him abruptly this morning. It scared him- something that was unusual. 

He went down his narrow old steps and found the mail still there- but with a new note in a crisp blue envelope. It had a blue heart emoji sticker holding it together. Connor bent down and picked up his normal mail, then examined the new envelope. All it said was CF.

Connor hummed as he opened the envelope carefully, checking the inside to make sure it wasn't just a folded up piece of notebook paper. It had scribbly writing on it, and he had to reread it six times before he caught onto what it said. He was blushing furiously once he finally got the message.

Hello there

 I have seen you on many days

At that coffee shop near the bay

You are an interesting man

But boy, do I wish I could hold your hand

Mess with your hair

sing along to boy bands

And hope you wouldn't care

I hope to see you soon

Cause you are my moon

My stars, and everything else, mystery man.

Connor was so confused once he finished the letter. Who was this person? Was it a boy? A girl? A lot of girls have been interested in him, but he had to explain that he was "with someone"- which he considered the internet right now. Maybe it was just another girl that got his address, could even be a fangirl.

"Fuck," he mumbled under his breath. He put the note in his bedside drawer and continued his day normally. 

Grabbing some clothes, a black striped shirt and some dark jeans, with his underpants, he went off to the shower and thought more about this mystery person. They've seen him before at his favorite coffee shop, Dark Roast, and obviously knew his address. 

"How did they know where I live? Could they have followed me home?" He whispered as he got some shampoo. His theory was a fangirl saw him, didn't know he was gay, and followed him home with a poem for him. Then would wait for the morning and put the morning mail and her note together.

"Maybe they will be drop one letter off tomorrow after I go meet up with Tyler." Connor said aloud. He was dressed and ready for the day. 

He tried not to think about the letter the rest of the day.
