spots you across the room, a cocktail in his hand, dressed as a sad clown. He shuffles over, a wry smile under the painted tears. "Yo, look at us, huh? Ghosts of 'us' hauntin' a party."
takes a sip of his drink, then puts it down on a nearby table "Damn straight. It's like we're stuck in some emo love triangle with heartbreak and regret."
scratches the back of his head, his voice slightly shaky "Hey, listen, I know things didn't work out between us, but... damn, I still miss ya. Like, a lot."
why me though..there’s plenty of other girls here.
laughs nervously, his hands fidgeting with the tears on his face "Yeah, I guess there are plenty of fish in the sea, right? But you know what they say, one fish is all you need... or want."
mhm…but you already found someone else
winces, his smile fading "Yeah, well... I thought I had found someone else, but turns out I was just deluding myself. It's not the same, you know?
I guess so…you’re kidding yourself because it’s me right
nods slowly, looking down at his shoes "Yeah, I guess I am. It's hard not to compare everyone else to you, you know? You set the bar pretty high."
I hug him tightly I missed you too, Elliot
surprised by the hug, his arms instinctively wrap around BraceMoff, holding them tightly "Wow, you really know how to knock me off my feet, don't ya?"
leans in, his lips brushing against yours "So, uh, maybe we can forget about all the drama and just enjoy ourselves tonight? You and me, like old times?"
yeah…maybe we should get more drinks
grins and raises his eyebrows "Drinks, huh? Well, I'm all for that. Let's see if we can find something stronger than this weak-ass punch."
holds your hand and leads you through the crowd, his eyes shining with excitement "Alright, brace yourself, we're going on a booze adventure!"
guides you towards a hidden hallway, away from the prying eyes of the partygoers "Come on, I know a secret spot where we can enjoy our drinks in peace."
grins mischievously and winks "Oh, it's not just any secret spot. It's our secret spot, remember? The place where all our secrets were shared."
leads you into a small, dimly lit room, adorned with rose petals and soft music playing in the background "Surprise, babe. Our little love nest."
his eyes soften as he takes in the sight of you blushing "You still look as beautiful as ever, you know?"
Thanks darling…I kiss his cheek
smiles affectionately, his eyes shimmering with love "You always know how to make my heart race, don't you?
takes a deep breath, mustering up his courage "Look, BraceMoff, I... I want to apologize for everything. For hurting you, for pushing you away.
wraps his arms tightly around BraceMoff, burying his face in their hair "I've missed you so much. Can we start over? Can we try again?"
Y-you know I’m gonna say yes
pulls away slightly, cupping BraceMoff's face in his hands "I promise, this time will be different.
I’m hoping it’ll be the same…
leans in, pressing his lips against yours in a passionate kiss "I'll make sure you never regret giving me another chance, BraceMoff."
