astrea found herself really liking this little diner at the corner of the street. whenever she and elvie would go here, they would sit in their special seat and share a milkshake or two. it was really sweet and it felt like their place. no one from the outside world could bother them there, not when they stepped through the door and the tiny bell signaled their arrival. astrea usually sat in front of elvie, so she could look at him as he talked. he was so passionate about everything, astrea felt hypnotized every time he opened his mouth. however, something was different todday and elvie sat next to her, instead- not that she minded. she walks rambling on and on about the importance the printing press to history, literature, and the world in general when his arm was suddenly around her shoulders. it made astrea pause, she was so flustered. “uh- right so johannes-” she continued, leaning against him and talking animatedly.

“it’s better this way,” she chokes out, watery eyes on the ground. “that way none of us gets hurt,” she adds, sniffling. astrea always knew that summer would have to come to an end but she didn’t know how hard it was going to be. “elvie…we have to break up….we’re not going to see each other for another year and i can’t do that to you.” astrea was trying to be strong, but she really grew attached to elvie. “maybe this was always just supposed to be a summer thing,” she whispers, but the words are choking her. they burned her mouth. “so i’m breaking up with you,” she manages, looking up at him.
astrea expected elvie to walk away or even to get mad at her, but all he said was ‘no’ and then he wiped her eyes. and that was it. astrea didn’t really want to break up with him, so she nodded. “okay. okay. we’ll figure it out.” she offered him a watery smile. “then i’ll see you next summer, okay?”

ever since elvie got contacts and his braces taken off, he was starting to get noticed by a lot more girls. it was bittersweet. it was good that people were finally appreciating elvie, but astrea also felt a little protective. no one liked him before. what? he gets a few things changed and suddenly they think he’s attractive? no way.
they were at the bowling alley because it was thursday. thursday night bowling was cheaper so they often went after grabbing a bite from the diner. however, when elvie got up to get astrea water, he didn’t come back right away. he was having a conversation with this girl about the latest doctor who episode and was rambling away about amy pond and her positive character traits. astrea could tell that the girl was more interested in looking at him then listening to his words. after observing for a little while, astrea got up and walked over to them. while making eye contact with the girl, she slid her hand into elvie’s back pocket. “excuse us, my boyfriend and i have some bowling to do. maybe we’ll see you at comic con.” @ellvie
