One evening in March, Timothée consoles a girl who has lost her cat - a girl sitting on the wall outside his apartment building in the dingy glow of the street lamp. The cat, it turns out, is fine, but their meeting sparks something else, something both Timothée and the girl will have to come to terms with. Something that feels a lot like-- well. Neither of them know it well enough to describe it. ❛𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 - 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱.❜ [COMPLETED/EDITING - word count: 250,000] original character x timothée chalamet {REAL LIFE} ©pistachiotim 2020

"Are you lost?" "No, I'm Timothée." --- When her brother's exchange student first comes to stay, Una feels like a stranger in her own house. Timothée speaks English slowly and softly; pauses in the wrong places, constantly tries to take back what he has already said. But once words have been spoken, the air forms around them.

What Timothée said to her cannot be taken back. But can it be redeemed? SLOW UPDATES original character x timothée chalamet [REAL LIFE] ©pistachiotim 2021
