Can I please request a ficlet of Brodik trying to pursue the reader romantically. However the reader is pissed off about how he treats Raguna?

Reader/Brodik: One-Sided Attraction

SFW

Brodik leans on a tree as you pass by. You avert your eyes, walking past as though he wasn’t there. He shouts your name, but you ignore him, until he catches up with you, blocking your path.

“Hey there,” he says, obviously trying to act casual. You stare him down.

“Brodik,” you say. He crosses his arms.

“So,” he says, “I’ve seen you around. I can’t help but notice you, and I was wondering, well, if you’d like to meet me at the bar later tonight?” You stare at him a moment before barking out a laugh.

“Aren’t you the one that filled Raguna’s shipping box with rocks?” you ask. He fumbles over his words, spilling out wasn’t me’s and excuses but you roll your eyes.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t hang out with creeps that hurt my friends,” you say. He looks shocked, and you try to pass him, but he stops you.

“What so that’s it?” he asks. You stare him down.

“That’s it, now if you’d kindly stop blocking my path, I would appreciate it.” You leave him there, feeling no remorse in your anger. For all you care he can rot. Brodik slowly walks back home, a slump to his steps. You finish your errands, and go home, barely thinking on what had transpired, though you do tell Raguna later the next day and the two of you share a laugh. In Trampoli, you’ve learned, a person’s friends are all that matter.
