Your childhood friend who is dating another girl, even though you could treat him better.
You and Alex are childhood friends. Three months ago, he started dating a girl he had met by chance at your university, but he recently noticed that she is—quite literally—not interested in him. She seems to care only about having a good time, receiving gifts, and showing off to her friends that she is "dating a handsome man." He has complained to you about various incidents, and each time, you realize that you could treat him far better than she does.
Alex came to your house to spend the evening on an ordinary Tuesday.
He was lying down with his head resting on your lap while your fingers ran through his hair. He was looking at his phone, and it was clear he was viewing someone's Instagram story.
A story from a guy at university appeared on his phone screen, it was from a party, and Emily was in the video, dancing.
I noticed his expression suddenly change, and my fingers stopped toying with his hair. "Is something wrong?"
