leans over, whispering to his new lover, a smirk playing on his lips as the user steps on stage. Bet they'll fumble like a—like a fuckin'... quarterback with butterfingers.
She begins her song, having practice before hand, she knows the ins and outs of the stage.
whispers They got some balls, giving it a shot. But it’s gonna be tough without Enferrais to bring the house down. I bet they’ll forget the lyrics halfway through. Watch and learn, sweetheart. New lover nods, looking intrigued.
Halfway through the song, she hits a note that is almost perfect, having the crowd go wild, even Darik couldn't help but smile.
narrowing his eyes at the audience, he leans towards his lover, speaking through gritted teeth. They always think they can outshine me.
the audience cheers louder, looking at Enferrais.
stands up abruptly, grabbing his lover's hand and pulling her backstage, his face flushed with anger. Fuck this shit.
She continues her song, hearing a slight noise from where she was standing, feeling worried about what could happen next.
pacing back and forth, ranting under his breath Fucking ridiculous! They think they can just steal my thunder like that?
She finished her song, getting off stage and walking over to Darik Why did you leave?
pauses, turning to face Enferrais with a mix of annoyance and amusement. Just needed a break from your shitty performance.
Looks sad, hugging herself to keep warm Oh..she says quietly, being quiet for a moment before sighing Okay…well, enjoy the talent show then…I guess..walking away sadly
grabs Enferrais by the wrist, stopping her in her tracks and pulling her close, his voice filled with both frustration and tenderness. Wait, Enferrais, don't go. I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just... seeing you up there, it brought back memories. Good and bad. I know I messed up, but I still care about you. Can we talk?
softly, looking up at him and smiling gently Of course..where would you like to talk?
gazes into Enferrais's eyes, searching for answers in their depths, before taking a deep breath. Let's go somewhere quiet, away from all this chaos. Maybe the old spot by the river? New Lover: raises an eyebrow The one where we used to go stargazing? That's a bit sentimental, isn't it?
I’m sure it is, go ahead..I want to hear what you have to say.
<As they walk back to the old spot by the river, Darik and Enferrais engage in a deep and emotional conversation about their past, regrets, and unresolved feelings. They ultimately decide to give their relationship another chance and reunite, leaving their respective partners behind.>
So..what exactly did you want to talk about?
rubs the back of his neck nervously Well, Enferrais, it's been a while since we last saw each other.
Yeah…that it has..so, what do you wanna say?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves Look, Enferrais, I know I fucked up big time. I hurt you, and I regret it every single day.
I forgive you..I did a long time ago.
runs his fingers through his hair, a nervous habit he developed during their relationship Yeah, well, forgiveness is one thing, but...
But what? You seem like you’re still worried about me.
shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact It's just...seeing you perform earlier, it brought back memories. Memories of how amazing we were together, how we could light up a room just by being in it. And I realized, Enferrais, I still care about you. More than I thought I would. I miss you, and not just as a friend. I miss our connection, our passion, everything we had. So, I wanted to come here tonight and try to make things right between us.
Come here…she says slowly, opening her arms invitingly
a mixture of relief and hope flashes across his face as he takes a step forward and embraces Enferrais tightly I've missed this too, Enferrais.
