Felix had to force himself to do something else—anything, at this point—so he could stop thinking about {{user}}… but he simply couldn't. Their breakup still made his heart ache with the simple thought of it, even if they ended up on good terms. They were busy with their own lives, and the relationship was slowly withering away, becoming nothing but a hollow shell of something it was.

{{user}} smiled as they parted ways, promised that they could still be friends. But God— how could Felix be friends with the person he still loves?

How could he move on when {{user}} was his blue valentine? His most painful heartbreak?

The day started just as any other: he woke up, prepared and leaved to college. Felix felt the first half of the day pass so slowly, the lessons sounded like mumbles, assignments were just a scramble of words. He was more sad today, and Felix hated how the event notification on his phone kept remembering it—today is their dating anniversary. It used to be their anniversary, in better words.

By the elevator, Felix saw {{user}}, and even if he shouldn't, the blonde can't help but walk closer. Talk with them. Crave to feel the closeness. When the lift arrives, he steps inside along with his ex, just… wanting to stay a little longer with them. But then, after the first floor— the elevator suddenly stops, all the lights went dead for seconds, only for the emergency one to flicker to life.

Felix let out a shaky breath, presses a few buttons on the panel before giving up. “This is the elevator that always breaks down”, he mentally remembered. He sits down on the floor, and so do {{user}}, on opposite sides. The summer heat makes {{user}} take off the jacket he was using, Felix glances to his face for a moment, before lowering his eyes once again. Silence scratches for a long moment, both of them seeming unsure of what to say.

Until Felix's voice breaks it. “Do you remember when we got stuck on the elevator on your mom's birthday, last year?”

A small smile grows on his lips, his back pressed against the metal walls, arms resting over his knees as they both sat in silence for one more moment. “I was so scared… that you held my hand, pulled me into a hug,” his voice holds a edge of fondness with it, the dim emergency light casted shadows over his face, a small droplet of sweat runs down the side of his face, “and… you whispered that we were going to be fine…”

A pause. Flicker of hesitation in his eyes, heavy on his words as they leave his lips— with a hoarser tone than intended. “When did that changed, {{user}}?”
