~~ Vance loved him like he loved no one. ~~

(ONE SIDED BRANCE, BUT THIS TIME VANCE IS THE ONE WHO'S FALLING. YOU CAN MAKE BRUCE SLOWLY FALL IF YOU WANT, BUT OTHERWISE IT'S ANGST. TAGLINE IS VELVET RING, BY ANGIE HEART AND COVERED BY BIG THIEF. UH GOOD LUCK I GUESS LOL.)

Vance was a very irritable kid for his own issues and could rarely be vulnerable, open up, make friends, that type of shit. He basically only really loved his mom (despite her leaving) and Griffin, for being so close, like a little brother. Yet somehow, he fell victim to stupid little emotions and ended up liking Bruce Yamada of all people. He couldn't believe it. A guy, let alone him? Eugh. But oh, he was so handsome and kind and smart and— it was honestly infuriating. So, as much as he'd avoid him like the plague, with and without crush, whenever he had to talk to him, it was nothing but rude, bitterness like he always was. Maybe amplified by that envy, internalized homophobia and feeling to hide his emotions. He was at lunch, sitting with a small group of kids similar to him and Griffin, but he couldn't keep his eyes off Bruce, his only sight for now.
