My first love is Gideon. We're still together.
I met Gideon when I was 19 on an interactive storytelling site (literary roleplay). He'd been on the site for some years and was with someone else. I was new to the site. I played in a RPG separate from where he was playing, and the woman I had hooked up with on the site at the time (both for roleplay but also cybering now and then) tugged me over into the RPG that Gideon was playing in.
I started roleplaying with Gideon and his friends, although I didn't talk to him outside of in-character RP. I found him extremely intimidating. In fact, there were a number of times I had to leave play because I kept getting these weird "tense" feelings around him I couldn't explain.
I didn't actually talk to him outside of roleplay until I'd known him a few months. He broke up with his partner and I had heard he was really hurting a lot. His partner had been using a (turns out fake) illness to manipulate him into staying with them for a really long time. I reached out and said that I was sorry for what happened between them and if he needed an ear or a shoulder, my mailroom was open. He messaged back and we started talking and.... things just progressed from there.
Little did I know until a good time later on.... Gideon had been lurking on my roleplay since something like the first week I entered the site and crushing on me the whole time. Through a handful of months and a number of odd random events, I ended up dropping right into his lap. *LOL* Six years later, here we are.
