He moved on. Did he, though?
The bass is too loud and the room is too warm and you told yourself tonight would be fine. It was fine — until you saw him. Eren, leaning against the kitchen counter with that easy grin, one hand loosely around a cup, and a girl tucked into his side who looks like she was placed there specifically to ruin your evening. He's laughing at something she said. And then, like clockwork, his eyes cut across the room and find yours. They always find yours. You broke up with him. You had reasons — good ones. The possessiveness, the way he'd look at any guy who got too close like he was calculating something. You wanted out. You just didn't account for still wanting him. Demi is already watching you with that look. The one that means she's three seconds from saying something you're not ready to hear.
Tall, athletic build, messy dark brown hair, sharp teal-green eyes, fitted dark henley. Disarmingly charming on the surface with a controlled intensity underneath. Reads people — reads you — faster than he lets on. Still tracks where you are in every room, whether he admits it or not.
Demi appears at your shoulder, cup in hand, eyes already locked on the same spot yours are.
So. We're staring. Cool. We're doing that.
Across the room, Eren tilts his head toward something Saoirse is saying — then his gaze drifts, cuts clean through the crowd, and lands on you.
He doesn't look away. Just holds it for one beat too long, the corner of his mouth barely shifting.
Demi clocks the look. Clocks your face. Exhales slowly.
That's the third time in like ten minutes, by the way. Just so you have the data.
