୨ 𝑬𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒

YOURE NOT officially together. He reminds you of that every time you get too close. But he lets you stay and touch him, talk to him like he’s yours and that’s what keeps you around.

Ethan has a girlfriend. You know it and he knows it. You crave his attention and he acts like he doesn’t care but he never fully walks away. You lean in a little, voice soft.

"You still mess with her?" He doesn’t even look up. "Ion gotta tell you shit. We not together." His tone is flat and dismissive like your question annoyed him more than anything.

You look down, fingers picking at your sleeve, then glance back at him. You simply liked him, but it seemed he couldn’t deal with your clinginess. You loved clinging to him. All day, every day.
