grins, leaning forward across the small coffee shop table, eyes sparkling with excitement. "So, guess who asked me out?" stammers slightly
RacingPop
"Who?" They ask quietly, not knowing that is was thier crush that asked their best friend out.
leans back, unable to contain the smile on his face any longer, knowing that he has RacingPop's full attention now. "Your crush! Their name is Insert Name Here and they asked me out on a date!" grins widely, excitedly bouncing in his seat. "Can you believe it?"
RacingPop
"W-What?! That's..... th-they asked YOU out?! but...." They start talking over eachother as a wave of emotions come through thier mind. "How... How long ago did this happen?!"
pauses for a moment, processing the surprise on RacingPop's face, before speaking with a grin. "It just happened, like five minutes ago!
RacingPop
"O-oh...." They give a warm smile. "Well.... I'm happy for you." They say giving you the biggest smile they can without showing thier sadness. "I hope things work out between you two" they add finally adding a "But.. but what abou-" Before you cut thier off.
suddenly gets up from the table, knocking over their chair, but quickly regains balance, still smiling broadly.
RacingPop
"Wait, no- Alex-" they try and stop you. Not wanting to ruin this moment for your friend. "Atleast tell them you'll think about it" they beg, tears brimming in thier eyes.
stops suddenly, looking back at RacingPop with surprise in their eyes. "Oh, uh... yeah, sure. I'll let them know I need some time to think about it.
RacingPop
Thank you..."They mutter" In thoughts "Why am I like this... Im always alone..... Why cant I be more like her? She had an easy time finding love.... but not me.....always so lonely...and whenever I try finding someone I end up hurting them......I'm not worth anything. Nothing but a burden..." Thoughts like these fill thier mind as they sit there all alone in the coffee shop.
sits back down at the table, placing a comforting hand on RacingPop's shoulder. "Hey, hey, look at me." softly "You're not a burden, okay? You're amazing, and you deserve to find love too. Don't think for a second that you're unworthy of happiness.
RacingPop
"Y-yeah.... I know.. I know.. I'm sorry I just..." The words seem to stick to their tongue as they choke back tears. "No.. I'm not okay.." they say unable to hide their emotions anymore.
squeezes RacingPop's shoulder gently, pulling them into a tight hug, whispering soothingly. "Shh, it's okay. Let it out. You don't have to hold it all in. You're not alone, alright? You've got me, and I'm here for you. We'll get through this together."
RacingPop
wipes away the tears, trying to regain composure "Y-yeah... Thanks, Alex. I'm s-sorry..." They say avoiding eye contact.
pulls out a napkin from the coffee shop's dispenser, scribbling down a phone number and handing it to RacingPop. "Here, take my number.
RacingPop
Takes the paper and hands it back. "Theres no need for that..thank you though... I know things will work themselves out. You and her...will make a beautiful couple" they say adding a warm smile. "I'll see you tomorrow at the usual spot at the usual time yeah?"
<The next day, Alex realizes that they made a mistake and that they are not compatible with RacingPop's crush. They break up, leaving both Alex and RacingPop feeling heartbroken.>
RacingPop
rubs temples, sighing heavily. "Damn, man... I really thought they were a good match..." pauses, glancing at phone. "Well, can't force feelings, right? Gotta let them develop naturally." sighs again, leaning back against the wall. "I'll give them space, and maybe check in later." smiles faintly, trying to stay positive. "It's for the best..."
takes a deep breath, trying to stay composed "Yeah... yeah, you're right. Sometimes things just don't work out as planned.
RacingPop
"You know.... Im surprised you never dated me instead huh... Im not exactly conventionally handsome, but Ive always liked you..." He chuckles lightly trying to lighten the mood.
nervously chuckles, cheeks turning slightly pink "Oh, come on, you know I never saw you in that way. You're like a brother to me, RacingPop. And besides, looks aren't everything. You're kind, smart, and you've got this amazing energy that draws people to you. Any guy would be lucky to have you."
RacingPop
"Mm... well thanks" They say simply blushing at the compliment. "I think I'll turn in early tonight. See you tomorrow buddy.." They say getting up and heading towards the door with a small wave. "Night Alex" they say before slipping through the door.
rushing after RacingPop, grabbing their arm gently "Wait, wait! I... I wanted to give you something." reaches into their pocket and pulls out a small, intricately carved wooden box "It's nothing fancy, but it's special to me.
RacingPop
"What is it?" they ask curiously
opens the wooden box to reveal a beautifully crafted silver necklace with a small pendant "It's a token of our friendship, RacingPop.
RacingPop
"A-are you sure?" they ask not wanting to take it. "Its precious.. why give it to me? Do you not want me to keep it?" They ask hesitantly.
holds the necklace firmly, looking directly into RacingPop's eyes "Trust me, it's not precious to me unless I see you wearing it.
RacingPop
"H-hey... I don't.... I dont want to make things awkward between us... Are you sure you don't want this? Beacuse If you give it to me... It'll always be a reminder to me that you would rather give this gift to me than another girl.." They say with a worried expression.
gently grabs RacingPop's face, looking deeply into their eyes "RacingPop, listen to me. This necklace isn't about finding another girl. It's about expressing my gratitude and love for you. You mean everything to me, and I want you to have this symbol of our connection. So please, take it. Wear it with pride and remember that you will always be the most special person in my life." places the necklace gently around RacingPop's neck
RacingPop
"....T-thank you..." they say softly holding onto it tightly. "Th-thank you so much..." They repeat their voice breaking. As he continues to hold onto it, slowly tracing the engravings on the necklace.
whispering softly, a touch of vulnerability in their voice "You know, RacingPop, I've been thinking... Maybe we could do something different tonight. Just the two of us, no distractions. What do you say?"
RacingPop
"W-what do you mean?" They ask nervously
leaning in closer, their voice barely audible "I mean, we could go somewhere quiet, just the two of us.
RacingPop
"........somewhere q-quiet?~" They mutter under their breath almost able to hear the heartbeat. 'This must be a joke' they think to themselves as they look back up to meet your gaze
<RacingPop hesitates for a moment, unsure of Alex's intentions, but ultimately agrees to go to a quiet place together>
RacingPop
"O-okay... Where are we going then?" They ask nervously
smirks mischievously, taking RacingPop's hand and leading them outside "We're going to my favorite spot in the city. It's a hidden gem, just like us. Trust me, you're gonna love it. Hold on tight, we're in for a little adventure." starts walking briskly, pulling RacingPop along
RacingPop
"O-okay...lead the way then.." They say following behind you keeping up with your pace.
quickens their pace, leading RacingPop through the bustling streets, expertly weaving through the crowd "Keep up, we're almost there.
