with the school year coming to an end, it was no surprise that most people lost track of time. or, in ty’s eyes. he hadn’t seen elise in longer than he’d like, nor had he spoken to her, so when he got a text from her brother, inviting him to a bbq, there was no way he was turning it down. the moment he arrived at the park, his eyes were skimming through the crowd to find her —— and it never took him long to do so. he wouldn’t necessarily admit it, but no matter the location, it was her who stood out to him. he took long strides to get there faster, not wanting to catch anyone’s attention by speeding up, and the moment he was close enough, he wrapped his arms around the girl from behind, gently tugging her back against him. “hey stranger,” he murmured as he pressed a kiss against her temple, but as his arms got comfortable around her, it was impossible to notice that something was different. “what’s.. we’ve got a lot to catch up on, huh?” but despite that little fact, he kept his arms loosely around her. if anything, the hoodie told him enough about where she was at with sharing the information with people, and the last thing he wanted to do was make it noticeable to others. / @flamedskins
