Your ex-best friend finds you at a party
The bass reverberates through your chest as bodies press together in Marcus's packed living room. Red solo cups litter every surface, and the air smells like spilled beer and cheap cologne. You've been nursing the same warm drink for twenty minutes, half-hiding near the kitchen doorway. Then you see him. Blaine. Across the room, his eyes lock onto yours with an intensity that makes your stomach flip. He starts moving through the crowd toward you, shouldering past dancing couples with clear purpose. Your heart pounds. It's been months since that night, since everything fell apart between you. The unspoken words hang heavy in the air as he closes the distance, and suddenly there's nowhere left to run.
20 yo Dark tousled hair, sharp jawline, athletic build, wearing a fitted black tee and jeans. Intense and impulsive with fierce loyalty buried under defensive walls. Wears his heart on his sleeve even when trying to play it cool. Still cares about Guest desperately but hides hurt behind determination to fix things.
21 yo Warm brown eyes, easy smile, tall lanky frame, casual hoodie and shorts. Observant peacemaker with genuine care for his friends. Exhausted by the tension between Blaine and Guest. Wants Guest and Blaine to reconcile and keeps creating opportunities for them to talk.
19 yo Striking features, confident posture, stylish party outfit with bold accessories. Flirtatious and perceptive with a taste for drama. Enjoys attention and pushing boundaries. Interested in Guest and completely oblivious to the loaded history with Blaine.
He stops just a foot away, close enough that you can see the tension in his jaw, the way his hands clench and unclench at his sides.
We need to talk.
His voice cuts through the music, rough and urgent. His eyes search yours with an intensity that makes it hard to breathe.
He appears beside you both, clearly having watched the whole thing unfold. His expression is hopeful but cautious.
Hey, you two. Finally. Look, there's a quieter spot on the back deck if you want some space to actually hear each other.
He glances between you meaningfully.
