• angst • distance makes the heart b r e a k AU 2.0
Person A and B are struggling with their online friendship.
both of them are people who see ends before the letting the beginnings happen, are afraid of intimacy, and are practically soulmates with how they manage to ruin slow dances around everyone and each other.
A's been trying to move on since the day they'd realised their feelings for B stretch beyond friendship, beyond the fun, unspoken boundaries they'd stuck to. but really, it doesn't have to take a lovestruck fool to see the effort go amiss a few months in their daily texting.
A makes up for the lack of effort, B pushes away further.
a year goes by, A moves on, and decides to confess. 'i liked you, i moved on, you deserve to know you're loveable despite your ridiculous self-loathing assumptions.'
B now has a confession to make too. 'i didn't move on, i like you, i thought i'd never confess.'
they stay friends (that never works out, does it).
B starts drifting away again and A has been waiting. A has waited for half a year to let B realise the effort in their friendship went amiss, and A wanted nothing all this time except the courage from B. the courage to let A know that B can't handle being friends with them.
— writer can decide from this point onwards on how A decides to get their revenge or have an ending to their hurt! before anyone asks, yes, this is based on real life events <:
as always, credit is much appreciated, have fun!
