Hoo boy, crushes. I've had quite a few on some of my past pairs and someone who happens to be a close friend of mine on the forum. No names, though!
These crushes dissipated over time as I stayed on PC, but I know one crush I had on somebody was brought back to the surface on and off from the duration of 2005 until 2008.
I pretty much had a crush on Ryoutarou for about three years, it...seemed to be the ONE crush that did not want to leave for various reasons.
And during that month of May in 2008, I had the amazing opportunity to catch him in a group conversation with Andy, Ty, Jeff, Audy and so on...eventually we got to talking alone and we both came to discover just how well we connected together.
From then on, I've been in a relationship with him for three years and four months. Been my romantic interest for a total of six years, which even now gives me butterflies thinking about it. XD
