kylan had come out to the bash to have meaningless conversations with people and meet people he probably would never speak to again. if he weren’t such a sucker for a good time, he would’ve honestly been at home tonight, for once, smoking and catching up on some netflix. but here he was. and who knew how long he had been sitting at the bar for because honestly, he was so caught up in his own thoughts that he had kind of forgotten he was here. he was, after all, slightly under the influence already, thanks to the pre-gaming routine he usually did before going out anywhere. hen he finally did look to his side, ky noticed a familiar figure at the far end of the bar. ophelia. is chest tightened a little at the sight of his ex, his jawline tightening a bit, he couldn’t help but look at her for a little too long. as much as he hated to admit it, his heart still held a soft spot for her, he knew he would always hold a special place for ophelia. their breakup had always been something he knew was his fault. e just couldn’t commit the way she wanted, but not because he didn’t want to because he was terrified to get heartbroken all over again. the moment he saw things with ophelia could go in a good direction because she showed him a side of life he never knew; she showed him happiness again; kylan couldn’t bare the thought of it all falling apart once he got fully committed. o he did everything he could think of, besides cheat, to piss ophelia off until it finally came to the point that they were better off as friends. r as close to friends as the two could be, and even if he would never admit it out loud, he did regret the way things ended between them. tonight, however, he wanted to offer a peace offering. e turned to the bartender to order four shots, asking to deliver them to where ophelia was standing. then he made his way over to her, trying to ignore how his heart began to race a little more as he got closer to her. hey,” he casually greets, offering her a small, friendly smile, “i come in peace. promise.” and just as if it were a cue, the small tray of shots is placed next to them, “see? ou look gorgeous, by the way, i hope you don’t mind me saying that.”
