trigger warning: mention of hypothetical car crash
it was one of those weird autumn days where you didn’t know what to do.
it was 10 am, it was cold, and you didn’t even know why you were up this early
you literally had no real reasons to do that,
and everything was going wrong since you had woken up tbh.
you had missed your bus, and nothing else was available
you were just a rat in the middle of the street 🐀
but it was still early, you had faith in this day
as someone wise once said;
“the early bird catches the worm”
but you had no worm to catch, honey.
so you were now walking in the street, a bit lost, engulfed in your scarf, searching for somewhere to go, something to do.
honestly, you were so close to turn back and go back home
you were walking, head down, because the wind felt like knives against your skin
you raised your head a little, for an instant
and you saw him, a total stranger
he was on his bike, with his backpack on
your eyes met, for a brief second
it was enough for you to feel strangely attracted to a whole stranger
you got him pretty much interested too.
so interested he couldn’t stop looking at you.
all of sudden, you heard a loud crash
you turned in direction of the noise and??
without thinking twice, you ran to bike boy
there was no need to run since he was 2 meters away but hey, do ur thing babe
bike boy was now broken and useless bike boy
both of you watched his front wheel rolling away, in disbelief
you asked him in a panicked voice if he was okay, helping him to get back on his feet
he answered you that he was fine.
2) i’m the one who isn’t fine anymore
so you muttered a lil ‘ok’ while staring at him
fuck it, he was highkey cute with his big scarf and slightly red nose
he reached out to grab his backpack, which was on the pavement
it was all destroyed and fucked up
poor bike boy looked so sad
but y’all were still in between the road and the pavement.
cars are angry at this time in the morning, and you almost got hit by a car
both of you ran to the pavement, so you wouldn’t diE you see
both of you were stealing glances at each other
at some point, he said, softly,
“you don’t have to stay to look after me, i’ll just go in a café and find something to do”
you felt like it was your chance
“well. you could’ve died because of me, we might aswell go somewhere together, no?”
your face was literally red
but he looked at you, softly smiling
“i’m up for it. the last one to arrive at the starbucks pays for the other.”
but he still payed for you
