biting down on the prongs of her fork, stella’s eyes widened, not sure if her friend was being serious or not until she recognized his dramatic features & the quiver of his lips from holding in a laugh. with the confidence of reading his emotions, the woman decided to play along some more; “you’re the last resort from three hundred people. how does it feel being the very, very last pick?” giggling at her joke, stella leaned back in her chair, brown eyes scanning yongsun & how he looked under the lighting of the restaurant; she may be just his friend, but she wasn’t blind, she could easily see how he was effortlessly attractive & she wondered why he didn’t have as many dating stories as her to talk about. “fine. i’ll become an undercover student & befriend each one to gain intel on your teaching skills then get you fired for having unprofessional photos on your social media.” taking a piece of cheesecake after yongsun, stella hummed happily at his sweet words; she always loved how he made her feel wanted, she never had to second guess if he truly enjoyed her company or not. cheeks turning a shade a pink, the woman placed her fork down, a shyness creeping over her from the embarrassing question she had to answer. “well. it’s an on-again-off-again thing. didn’t i tell you that?” she looks at her friend through her lashes, knowing she absolutely didn’t tell him about how douchey this guy was. “we talked & got back together.” nimble fingers run through her hair, her heart racing to change the subject. “anyway. you always know about me & my dating life, tell me about yours. are you too busy being a professor to be a boyfriend? hm?”
one of the reasons why yongsun and stella always worked together like a well-oiled machine was their ability to riff off each other, often finishing each other’s thoughts before they could even fully form in their heads. back in high school, they were sometimes seen as an unlikely pair by his friends, but to him, they’d always just ... made sense. “ i feel like julius caesar right now. et tu, brute? ” slumping in his chair with utmost devastation, yongsun continued pouting before his expression brightened up once again, the overdramatic performance quickly forgotten as they moved onto the next topic ( but not without stealing a bite of the dessert first ). “ you know what that reminds me of? ” his lips widened into a smile mid-chew. “ remember when i got in trouble because i’d snuck out for some drinks and one of my idiot friends tagged me on a facebook post, knowing damn well most of my family could see it. and that was after lying that i was at yours! i’m pretty sure everyone in our neighbourhood thought that if you continued to hang out with me, you’d end up in a biker gang with a bunch of tattoos. ” if only they could see him now, teaching college kids and unabashedly wearing objectively ugly vests on purpose. and stella was still herself, still his closest friend after all this time, which was why it was only his duty to be worried for her, hearing that she’d gotten back together with someone despite being way out of their league. maybe he didn’t have the most objective perspective here, still holding out for hope that maybe one day things would fall into place for the two of them, but if stella ever spoke of him the way she spoke of this guy, yongsun would be at the very least concerned about their relationship. “ hm. he’s treating you well? ” he leaned back against his chair, skeptic as ever, although there was no timidness to his body language as not to dampen the mood. he’d hate to come off as intimidating or overprotective—yongsun would always be supportive of her dating life, but not when it was at the expense of her happiness. then came the subject change before he could confess his honest thoughts, which was probably for the best anyway, and he chuckled then, staring at her a little too long before he could finally spit out his answer. “ yeah, no, i think my casanova days are well behind me. ” he puffed out his chest, clearly joking although he couldn’t deny the sliver of truth in it. not even that long ago he would jump from one relationship to another, never able to settle for anything long-term, but that wasn’t really a hot topic of their conversations—or a topic at all, courtesy of byun yongsun. “ i like someone though, ” he suddenly blurted out. “ not that it’d ever work out, but it’s nice to dream a little, isn’t it? kind of makes me feel like i’m back in 9th grade again. ”

eyebrows knitting together at his friends overly dramatic words, nathan let the images of what gunner was saying play through his head as he watched his friend make his way over. body loosely slumping downwards when gunner played hostage, nathan had half a mind to push him away due to the soreness of his body, but he decided to let the other male have his fun for a moment. “riiiggghhttt.” he nodded sarcastically, one hand moving up to finally swat the others finger gun away; a few seconds later the same hand grabbed a mug & closed the cabinet afterwards, a disappointed sigh coming from his lips. he should have known gunner wouldn’t have coffee & that he should have bought a cup before coming over. making his way over to the fridge, the male blinked slowly at how empty it was – gunner really wasn’t kidding when he said living that take-out life. grabbing the juice & pouring himself a cup, nathan used his heel to close the fridge as he took a sip, glad to have some kind of refreshment in the morning. “hmm.” he hummed over the rim of the cup, eyes rolling in amusement. “last night.” pausing to wipe his mouth with his thumb, he then continued. “bank robbers – whew – beat. my. ass. there had to be at least twenty of them, they planned it out well.” nathan rolled his shoulders & neck, trying to ease the pain a little. “what about you? what have you been up to besides updating your fan account?” a sly smile made it’s way to his lips, although he tried to hide it by taking another sip of juice.
“ yo, you’re no fun! ” with such accusations, gunner stabbed nathan right in the middle of his upper back with his finger, feigning annoyance despite the grin on his face. “ so you have time to fight actual crime, but not play pretend with me? y’know what, dude? morbius is my new best friend. ” as nathan busied himself with grabbing a cup of orange juice, gunner made a grand return to the couch, springing out his limbs like a starfish while he silently watched the other make himself at home as he usually did. sometimes he had a hard time believing that someone like nathan could ever turn out to be the local superhero—and that gunner himself was close with one—especially whenever he would casually bring up last night antics like he was simply talking about the weather. still, it was cool to have a kick-ass hero for a best friend, even if to him, he was nathan first and spider-man second. “ dude, you need to sign up for massage therapy or something. what if you break your spine in the middle of a fight and i have to haul your ass out some dumpster? ” he threw him a disapproving look before smirking and wiggled his fingers. “ but i’ve got magic hands. free massage, baby! ” gunner cackled at the mention of the fan account, then shrugged his shoulders as if he had no clue as to what nathan was referring to. “ i don’t know what account you’re talking about. i totally post normal things on social media because i have a life and i am not at all bored. ” his lips had flattened into a thin line, but the seal was quickly broken when gunner let out a sigh at the question, rolling his head left and right on the back of the couch. “ not much lately. i’ve been thinking of going away or something. go on a little road trip. maybe do some volunteering shit, i dunno. things have just been kind of ... stale. ”

ೃ⁀➷ her brows knit together and her head tilts to one side when she looks at the male, trying not to burst into laughter but ends up snorting once he reveals the plot twist of the story. “ okay, if you say so. also, the cartoon dog is super cool, what do you mean? ” the mention of the cartoon makes her want to watch it because she’s never really gotten around to watching that one. however that is quickly put aside when she, almost too excited, follows him and gets up from the bench, tripping over it but quickly regaining her balance. “ you didn’t see that. ” she mumbles and clears her throat. “ thelma? louise? i’m afraid i’m not very familiar with those two characters. ” jade points out, this time being her turn to pout as if she dropped her ice cream before she could even have a bite. though, it was amusing that gunner denied bonnie and clyde. she would have done the same. “ no more question marks! listen, we’re gunner and jade! it has a nice ring, right? better than bonnie and clyde and the other two, whoever they are. ” she states proudly and looks around, deciding which way�� they could go, what attraction to go on first. “ so, rollercoaster or do you have something better in mind? a surprise up your sleeve? ”
“ woah, woah. ” gunner quickly held up his hands in the air as if to defend himself from a cop, tilting his head like she’d just said something incredulous. “ i didn’t imply shit about the dog! you’re the one putting words in me mouth! ” blowing a strand of hair out of his eyes, he put a hand over his chest right where his heart was beating underneath, and right as he was about to make an oath, jade had come close to eating dirt, making gunner burst into laughter while he quickly extended a helping hand in case she needed it to regain her composure. “ see what? ” he blinked back at her innocently, making a sewing motion over his eyes, and winked. truth be told, had jade fallen over, gunner would’ve joined her on the ground just to make the situation a little less embarrassing for the other; he hardly cared about his own image as long as the people around him felt comfortable. “ oh, shit, you’ve never seen thelma and louise? they’re only the biggest feminist icons of all-time cinema, no big deal. but hey, looks like it’s our turn now, miss jade. ” greeting her with a salute, the man followed her out of the food truck zone, joining her at her side as they slowly integrated back into the crowd. gunner had already gone on a few of the attractions before his friends had freed him of his third-wheeling duties to go home and leave him to refuel, but he was still just as eager for a repeat of most of the rides, except for the ones that’d definitely empty his intestines of the recently devoured hot dog. “ what do you like? got some need for speed in your blood, eh? maybe a haunted house? could be fun to piss ourselves. unless you’re, like, hardcore with this stuff. ”

◟ head was pounding , only made worse by the rays of sun now beginning to hit his side of the bed and the buzzing of his phone constantly next to him . he groans and reaches out for his phone , expecting to be alone but hand finding another laying right besides him . finding his phone he notices countless messages but only one in particular that manages to catch his eye — thank you for choosing little vegas wedding chapel , congratulations on starting your married life with us . please don’t forget to leave us a review on our website . hanseul rereads it another three times before realisation dawns on him and he notices the band around his finger . shit . this couldn’t be happening , if his manager or publicist found out about this he’d never hear the end of it . sitting up , he kicks the other under the cover gently , ❛ are you awake ? wake up , we need to talk . ❜
suddenly roused from an action-packed trilogy of crazy frog dreams, buffy could only grunt out the most guttural groan and blindly reach over her own back to flip the other off. under the sorely hungover assumption that she was currently sprawled out across a field in the middle of nowhere with one of her friends, she’d kicked him back in the calves once, then twice, suffocating herself under the weight of her pillow. she laid there for a whole minute, unresponsive, until she suddenly turned over to face him, eyes closed, and unattractively smacked her lips. “ is this what waking up as ke$ha feels like? ” buffy hummed, casually removing the feather boa from around her neck like it was any normal tuesday. the sunlight was even harsher on someone who was far from a morning owl, drawing her back into slumber with its warmth, but someone’s presence in her—was it even hers?—bed bothered her well enough to open her eyes. then: “ ugh, ” she audibly complained, immediately shutting them closed, and nuzzled into her pillow all while muttering under her breath, “ genie, i didn’t give you a little rub for just anyone—i said, if i could sleep with a celeb, it’d be someone really hot. and i’m not seeing a milf—that’s just some big time rush’s reject. ”

ok but an immortal couple who break up and get back together every thirty years or so, and they’re messy as fuck, like every couple decades they break up and swear that they’ll never speak for the rest of eternity, until inevitably one tracks the other down and shows up like “okay, i’ve elected to forgive you, we’re together again” and the other is like “BUT WHO SAYS I FORGIVE YOU FOR THE AL CAPONE INCIDENT” and then they’re arguing/making out and meanwhile the rest of the immortal community just groans and rolls their eyes because jesus christ, this again, they have been doing this since the holy roman empire.

scoff emits her lips as she begins questioning it though in eunhee’s mind she should know exactly who she’s talking about. “ as if you don’t know. ” the femme rolls her eyes in response, a slight chuckle leaving her lips at the audacity of the girl to even act like she’s done nothing wrong because from what eunhee has saw, she’s done a lot. “ oh no, i don’t think she was a friend buffy— of course you’re allowed to have fun with your friends but that— ” pauses herself because she doesn’t want to have to relive what she saw on her phone screen. “ you can sit here and deny shit all you want but i saw it, your so - called best friend showed me everything. ” throws her phone down on the table where buffy can see, there’s a picture where the angle has been manipulated to make it look like she’s kissing some girl.
it wasn’t like buffy didn’t have her faults—it was true that she could take things a little too far and be a tad bit flirtier, a tad bit touchier with people she shouldn’t have been doing it with, but none of it was ever out of romantic interest. she hadn’t even kissed anyone else since meeting her current girlfriend, for god’s sake, and even though it was a low bar, she was still holding that damn thing up. “ great. i love that you just have such blind faith in me! thanks for the support, babe! ” buffy gritted out through her clenched teeth, straining out the most sarcastic smile before picking up the phone, zooming in for hours before she could even recognize herself in the pixelated, clearly manipulated photo. “ geez golly, it sure does look like we’re kissing when you’re looking at four fucking pixels. maybe if you had bothered to ask me first, you’d know that we were just trying to hold a goddamn conversation at a rave that was literally blowing up our eardrums. ” she was visibly upset at this point, never the best at handling her own anger; in a way she couldn’t blame eunhee for assuming the worst with this kind of evidence—as questionable as it was—but she also couldn’t understand why she had to jump her at first given moment. scoffing out a short breath of air, she threw her girlfriend’s phone down the couch and swallowed, her expression hardening with each second. “ if you wanted to break up for some reason, you could’ve just told me. don’t make me out to be the bad guy just so you don’t feel guilty. ”

earns a laugh from the femme, unable to compose herself at his comments. she wasn’t aware that was the kind of thing she gave off but she doesn’t hate it. smirk plays on full lips as she leans closer to him, daring gestures stating she doesn’t care who else is in the room. “ are you picturing it in your head ? suit and everything ? and i didn’t peg you for a pervert, kobra, but here we are. ” chuckles under her breath as she looks around the room to notice all of the men in her presence very uncomfortable with the conversation. “ that’s a wonderful speech, ” she taunts, cocking a brow as he lays a hand atop her own in front of all of his and her husband’s business associates. how bold— she likes it to say the least. his actions earn many concerned looks around the room, a sigh emitting her lips as she pulls her hands back. how boring. “ unless you all have a problem with that ? good. ” doesn’t let them respond before she’s scoring the silly little rule out with a pen. “ moving on to— no weapons. ” turns to kobra as she states it before looking around the room at the rest of the men agreeing. of course that would be the safe option but where’s the fun in that ? “ what’s your thoughts on that one, boss man ? ”
he wasn’t not picturing it, but there was no way in hell he’d give someone like her the satisfaction. this was, after all, the ultimate war between gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss and manipulate, mansplain, malewife. “ oh, darling, you have no idea. you should come by to check out my dungeon for yourself. actually, i’ve been told that it’s like if bdsm and the red rooms had a fucked-up, inbred child. isn’t that delightful? ” although the question was directed at the rest of the board members with something he would only describe as an encouraging and light-hearted smile, he was only met with silence and looks of disgust. “ damn. tough crowd, ” he whistled to himself, adjusting his sunglasses as he once again let the woman take over the reins for the moment. truthfully, he was surprised to find out that the woman wasn’t as put off by his actions unlike the others, and he’d be lying to say that he didn’t have to remind himself that this was only a business, one-sided relationship. although ... he was never much of a believer in not mixing business with pleasure. “ no weapons? i don’t like to kinkshame, but you lot are very vanilla. ” kobra let out a sad noise of disapproval as he lowered his head, wallowing in this misery before summoning a pistol out of the inner linings of his fur coat, instantly evoking murmur and gasps. “ relax. safety’s on. ” after waving it around, he pressed his lips against the barrel, then tucked it away where it had come from. “ i personally love a gun or two in bed—i find fear to be the most elevating state of arousal. but i suppose we’re not having orgies here, so, sure, no weapons. ” kobra then surveyed the room over the top of his sunglasses, offering a sinister smile. “ unless i missed the memo? ”

solana couldn’t exactly tell what came over them that particular night to make them go out to a club and spend it with a total stranger. it was always a dangerous game whenever he does that. it could very well come back to bite her in the ass later on if she happens to bump into the wrong kind of people. of course the club that she steps into is quite the high class one where privacy is important. but it never stops some people who are thirsty for some news and a piece to write. however , the girl that she had ended up getting themself engaged with seemed to be genuinely unaware of who solana is. if they weren’t sure before , they became absolutely sure the second she started to talk about her disaster of a date with an actor. the whle situation and the story she was told made her laugh harder than necessary. the alcohol in his system surely helped. in the back of his mind , she was mostly thinking about how fucking adorable the other was talking about this douchebag. her energy was a contagious one , they thought. ❝ oh ? i really wouldn’t know. i haven’t been on a date with an actor. ❞ they decide to tease the other a little bit , resting her elbows on her knees as they draw themself closer to the other playfully. ❝ but if i had to guess , i would say most of them are. ❞ they nodded with a grin. ❝ so , if even an a list celebrity cannot impress you —- who can ? what is your vibe ? ❞
vera wasn’t typically the clueless type. being of a silent and broody nature had its own perks such as becoming a little more observant than the rest of her peers, but pop culture was something that she had little to no interest to engage in. she knew certain names, certain faces, but at the end of the day, there was simply not enough room for it in her long-term memory lobe. “ you’re really not missing out on anything then. i’m sure some of them are nice, but i’m really not looking to have my breasts compared to every person they’ve had the chance of dry humping under the covers for ten seconds. ” vera clicked her tongue, her eyes twinkling under the lights as she subconsciously smiled at the view. she had no idea how she’d managed to luck out tonight with probably the most delightful person in the room—and it most certainly didn’t hurt that they were gorgeous too—but she wasn’t gonna start questioning her luck today. “ i’m not that picky, trust me. i know it doesn’t sound like it right now. ” she tilted her head, shrugging with her right shoulder while feigning an awkward look away only for her gaze to return to solana’s face in the matter of seconds. “ just someone who’s chill. open-minded. actually knows how to make good conversation and i don’t have to do all the work here. so, pretty much someone like you, ” and with that shameless little flirty quip, she sunk further into her hands, huffing out a content sigh. “ what about you? what floats your boat? ”

“ a little, i was worried something was on me ! ” whines in response, of course the femme doesn’t think anything of it. “ i would hope you would say— oh. ” so that’s all it was ? smile forms on her lips as she leans in closer to allow the other to remove it, giggles spilling from her lips when the femme tells her to make a wish. yeseul pretends to think for a moment before she takes a gentle hold of sabina’s wrist as her eyes flutter closed, soft lips moving like she’s whispering her wish into existence as she blows against her finger before she lets go again and opens her eyes. “ all done, thank you. ” the femme laughs, playfully nudging her friend’s hand away. “ you know the way you were looking at me i thought it was like a spider or something. ”
as she waited for yeseul to make her wish, she took advantage of her friend’s closed eyes to silently admire her features, something that she clearly couldn’t do discreetly without being caught out. in moments like this, sabina would sometimes get a flare-up of courage to act on her feelings, having come close a few times too many, but it’d fade away as quickly as it came. as her friend, she felt like she carried the responsibility of making her happy and stress-free instead of burdening her with things that couldn’t be easily brushed off like an eyelash on the cheek, and so she suffered in silence, frozen in time. “ well, what’s your wish? ” she whispered, her lips widening into a bright smile. “ and before you say anything, it’ll still come true—that whole thing is a myth. and i was the one who discovered it; i deserve some credit! ”

˗ˏˋ꒰ 🍒 ꒱ her full, undivided attention was given to him while he was talking and she couldn’t really move her gaze elsewhere. “ well, i can’t argue with that one. they better know how to treat their customer right or else. ” she said, sniggering. he really seems to have a wild imagination. her bright painted nails unconsciously and lazily scratched up and down her bare arm a couple of times while she was once again remained of being stood up. she barely ever agreed to going on dates but the thought of pulling such a douche move never crossed her mind. “ yeah, first one and last too, i must say. ” she is done for now. the very sudden and a little suspicious yet kind offer of the other made her pause and think about it, as if it was some life-or-death decision to make right there. “ i mean, why not. it could be fun. i chose to trust you, stranger. ” the mention of running caused her to look down at her feet, a grin spreading onto her face. leaning over the table a little, jade looked around as if to make sure nobody was eavesdropping on their very important conversation and took a deep breath. “ i can probably outrun you too when i kick my shoes off but i won't leave you behind, man. i won’t let the hot dog police get you. ”
as soon as the stranger agreed to his proposal to spend the rest of the day with him, he couldn’t help but do a little overdramatic celebration by kissing his fist and pumping the air with it as if he’d just won the lifetime opportunity to go on a date with kurt cobain. it just came naturally to him to make other people feel good about themselves and he sure loved having fun doing it. and when the girl leaned in, he mirrored her perfectly, down to the suspicious observation of their surroundings and hushed whispers. “ oh, i don’t know about that. i can be pretty fast when i want to—just call me gunner bolt. but the plot twist here is that i’m named after the cartoon dog, not the superstar athlete. ” pouting in self-stamped approval, he nodded as his hair tickled the nape of his neck, and suddenly got up with an outstretched hand, narrowly missing the bench he could’ve tripped over. “ then, shall we go on an adventure, louise? thelma? i would say we’re bonnie and clyde, but i’m not really looking to get cancelled right now. or you could just give me your real name because right now it’s just gunner and question mark, which is kind of making me sound like i’m the riddler from wish. ”

❝ i know i can be mad but i’ll choose not to be. because what’s the fucking point ? ❞ book never wanted to expect or depend on someone’s word and he wasn’t going to start doing it now. he’d be a damn fool and the last he needed was for him to be taken even less seriously by people around him. it was already hard enough to be underestimated by both the people in and outside of the street race scene. outside because people didn’t think a street racer was worth enough to interact with. in because they all thought book was a little too high off. ❝ you know , you don’t have to make up excuses to make yourself feel better over it. because they make you sound dumber and it only gets me more mad at you. ❞ book scoffs as soon as he hears the drinking excuse. ❝ you were going to be at a street race , kiw. no one would be able to smell you there. trust me. and call the cops ?! at a street race ?! ❞ he shook his head furiously before taking a moment to calm down once more. ❝ figure it out by your fucking self. go out to drink with them again and think. how about that ? ❞
kiw would be lying if he said that he fully understood book’s ambitions—they were from two completely worlds after all—but there was no invalidating bone in his body. although his support had yet to extend to actually attending the races, it didn’t mean that he didn’t want him to succeed, and seeing how much his broken promise was affecting the other had only made him feel guiltier. “ i’m not—sorry, that was a joke. a shitty joke. not the time for it, right. ” kiw furrowed his eyebrows as if he’d just given himself a mental slap on the wrist, carefully searching for the right words that wouldn’t upset him even further. studying psychiatry could be both a blessing and a curse when it came to communicating with other people; in this case, it felt a whole lot like a burden, overthinking his choices instead of being totally honest. “ look, i get it, i fucked up. i don’t know a whole lot about street racing, but i wanna learn more about it for you. because you like it and i like you, and even though it kind of worries me that there’s so much shit that could go down at these things, i still want to be there for you. ” taking a cautious step closer to the other, kiw sighed, nervously wringing his hands with a clenched jaw. “ and i don’t want to upset you, please. i’ll come next time, okay? i know my promise doesn’t mean anything to you right now, but just give me one more chance. ”

“no. i work like this.” smiling at his dramatic reaction, stella bit back a giggle. if she had to deal with bridezillas in a casual setting, she would lose her mind in an instant; she barely knows how she handles them professionally. nodding her head at his next sentence to show she’s listening, the woman listened with an amused face, loving their back-&-forth gossip, especially since now yongsun finally had something interesting to say about his life. “wow. that’s so sudden. sounds like he needs someone to fill the last seat to me.” she didn’t want to start any drama but was simply speaking her mind. she’d feel odd if someone she hasn’t spoken to in a decade suddenly invited her to a wedding. lifting her fork to take a piece of the cheesecake, stella took a bite as she watched him – she doesn’t know if it’s just her mind playing tricks on her, but tonight he looks exceptionally happy; she wonders if she looks the same to him. letting out a genuine laugh at the mere thought of her best friend in sequined shorts, stella covered her mouth with her hand, the visual paired with yongsun’s sarcastic tone had her holding back a snort. after she composed herself, the woman put on a mournful expression, “sorry about that, by the way. i didn’t think your students would check your tagged pictures. whoops.” taking another bite of the cheesecake, stella’s eyes widened in surprise, her heart picking up speed in excitement at the thought of attending a wedding – as a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic she’d never pass up the opportunity to watch two people in love promise to love each other forever. “oh my god! yeah i’d love to! that’d be so much fun, yong.” the familiar memories of prom came back & a warm feeling spread through her chest, happy that they’d get the chance to relive that night. “oh, but one thing.” she lays the fork onto the plate, hands coming up to fold together under her chin. “there’s this guy…” she starts timidly, large brown eyes gauging her friend’s reaction. “he asks me out spontaneously. i’ll just let him know after we’re done tonight that i’ll be busy that day, though.”
“ are you trying to say there’s no way someone could miss me and i’m just their last resort? not even that they have three hundred facebook friends and none in real life? ouch. ” yongsun didn’t waste a second to exaggerate a pout, cheeks protruding and cramping from how hard he was trying not to laugh. that said, stella had a point that he didn’t doubt for a second, but he was never one to overthink; as long as if it wasn’t some kind of elaborate set-up for a carrie-esque prank, yongsun didn’t really care whether he’d turn out to be nothing but a seat warmer. weddings were a good place to catch up with people and, in some cases, to reunite with them—plus, he could certainly take a break from mindless, out of character spending of money at the local bar with free booze. “ i can’t forgive you, stella! you should’ve known better! you’re clearly supposed to know every single one of my students on a personal level. ” dramatically stabbing his—her—cheesecake with a fork, he shook his head with a faux scornful expression only for it to be quickly replaced with another sincere smile at his best friend’s excitement over the invitation. the way stella would light up at every commemoration of marriage after years of working in the field never failed to amuse him; sometimes she reminded him of every protagonist of cliché romantic comedies and he could only hope that one day she’d end up finding her own happy ending, even if it meant standing on the sidelines as the sidekick best friend. but, of course, speaking of the devil. “ oh, sure, whatever works for you. it’d be nice if you were there though. ” he took a sip of his drink before clearing his throat. “ but ... this guy? i thought you guys broke up? ” unable to stop himself from worrying his lower lip, his smile fell a little, but the twinkle in his eyes remained, replaced with genuine curiosity. “ or ... is this a new one? ”
