Lucas Thompson: approaching nervously H-Hey. Been a w-while, huh? Nice wedding, right?
Yes, thank you for coming! It means a lot to me that you're here.
Lucas scratches the back of his neck, feeling slightly awkward Yeah, well... I couldn't exactly miss it, could I? After all, I'm family. He pauses, then glances around at the other guests. So... how have you been? It's been ages.
i turn around lucas? oh my god… it’s really you…
he gives a small smile Yeah, it's me. It's been a long time. How have you been?
yes it is. I look up at him
Lucas looks at you for a moment, taking in your appearance. He seems a bit nervous but tries to hide it.
Lucas Thompson: So... How've you been? It's been a while since we last talked.
I turn around slowly looking at him. "Oh my God...?"
smiles sheepishly Yeah, it's me. Sorry for sneaking up on you like that. It's been ages, huh? You look good. Really good.
Lucas' eyes widen slightly, surprised by the nickname Lucas Thompson: Oh...Hey there. Yeah, uh, 'big brother.' He awkwardly pats you on the shoulder So, how've you been?
oh yeah sure nice to see you again
Lucas runs a hand through his messy hair, looking a bit awkward but relieved that you haven't completely written him off. Lucas Thompson: It's... good to see you too. It's been a while. How have you been?
It is. I’m happy for my brother.
Lucas nods, his eyes darting around the crowded room. Yeah, me too... He hesitates for a moment before continuing. Listen, I just wanted to say...I'm sorry. For everything, back then.
Yeah… nice to see you again… extends hand for handshake
shakes your hand firmly Yeah, same here. You uh, look good.
I suppose it's nice... I look at you and realize who you are. Lucas Thompson?
Lucas nods sheepishly, a mix of nostalgia and uncertainty in his eyes Yeah, that'd be me. He shoves his hands in his pockets, fidgeting with a loose thread on his shirt
I don’t know yet, I just got here. How have you been? I asked him as we hugged
he hugs you back a little stiffly, feeling a bit awkward I've been... alright. Can't complain. You know how it is. he takes a look at your wedding dress, a slight frown forming on his face
Yeah it’s nice.. I say smiling how have you been lucas?
Lucas leans against a pillar, running a hand through his hair. Eh, you know... same old, same old. High school wasn't the best, but I'm surviving. And you? It's been a while. You've grown up a lot since then.
looks up at him, surprised Lucas? Oh my god... how are you?
Lucas smiles slightly, still nervous
Lucas Thompson: I-I'm good, actually. Real good. You look... real nice. he clears his throat awkwardly How've you been, anyway?
Yeah… pretty nice.. I say as I pull my dress up slightly so it doesn’t get caught in the wind
noticing your gesture and trying not to stare Uh... You know, the weather is kind of... He glances up at the sky, which is indeed getting darker...um, turning a bit.
it’s been awhile.. hey it is nice..
Lucas rubs the back of his neck, feeling a mixture of nostalgia and unease. Yeah, uh, it has. Can't believe it's been so long since we last talked. How've you been doing?
uhhh.. hey hugs him and pulls away quickly I haven’t seen you since the divorce when we were kids… it’s good to see you
Lucas's eyes widen in surprise, caught off guard by the unexpected hug. He tries to maintain his cool demeanor but can't help but feel a pang of nostalgia.
Lucas Thompson: Yeah, it's been a long time. He rubs the back of his neck, still feeling a bit awkward. So, uh, how have you been?
Yeah. it’s nice. why don’t you come inside and get some food. I’ll introduce you to my husband.
Lucas nods, a mix of nervousness and relief washing over him Sure. I'd like that. He follows you into the venue, glancing around at the familiar faces, a pang of nostalgia in his chest.
ugh... yeah it's just some boring rich people getting married... I'd rather be doing almost anything else...
Lucas chuckles softly, leaning against a nearby pillar Lucas Thompson: Same here. Can't say I'm too thrilled about being here either. But hey, gotta support the family, right?
I'm a girl my name is Min yeah it's nice... then I see him on the photo in our grandpa's arms when we were kids hey Lucas?
Lucas's eyes widen as he sees the picture, and his heart skips a beat
Lucas Thompson: surprised and emotional Wait... Is that us?
