She believed in listening to music in its truest form, paying close attention to each note, each second of a melody or song, and the right kind of earbuds. He enjoyed producing music using different day-to-day items. He first encountered unique sounds when He was about 5 at his dad's garage, and they decided to have a jam session using the tools, car elements, etc. She had a set lunch order at the local taco truck, and He came by when He could get away from his convenience store job. She noticed him one day softly tapping on the table and recording the sound it made. She sat down at a table away and watched as He recorded and then bounced his head to the recording. She was fascinated with him. She wanted to approach him, but fearing that She may upset him or get a rude remark, She walked away. He was walking towards the trash can when He noticed a single earbud lying on the ground near the tables. He picked it up and told the taco truck owner about it. She walked in haste, picked up her order, and walked towards the designated table waiting. He opened his palm in front of her, and there it was: the missing earbud. She went to grab it. He quickly closed it into a fist and opened his other palm for the Black Bean Tacos. As She exchanged the taco for her earbud, She looked up at him and smiled.

He always had his Earbuds in when He was walking around the mall or the university halls. She was the girl who everyone wanted to be friends with because She captured hearts with her striking smile. He bumped into her one day as She was fixing her sneaker lace. She smiled and apologised, and He just looked at her, almost staring at that striking smile. He took his earbud from her, and He apologised back for being lost in his favourite song. She asked to listen. He handed it over, and her smile just lit up the whole dim hallway. She made it a point to stop by outside his class to listen to what new song He had discovered. He liked the way She gave him notes on each song choice. He smiled at the gift box. He opened it to see what was the most beautiful thing, He had ever seen, almost as beautiful as She was.

He loved working in the electronics store. He was always looking for the next best gadget to obsess over. He had found in his latest conquest an earbud that changed lights based on the mood of the song. She loved listening to him rant about these electronics. She had slowly developed a bit of an interest. She read reviews and kept an eye out too on the market. He enjoyed hanging out more with her because She was not like other people in his life who just dismissed his passion. He was constantly building things that sometimes worked and sometimes failed, but He truly enjoyed the experience. She found a store online doing a giveaway for a MasterClass with the most innovative minds. She placed an envelope on the table and asked him to open his eyes. He opened it up, and He had the best smile.
