A chilling rain trickled harshly against the windows, making a nice and calming sound to listen to from the inside. As for the inside, you sat on a comfy sofa of a nicely sized apartment’s living room. The lighting was warm, adding to the cozy feeling. And to top it all off, classical music played gently in the back from a record player. His pet cat sat on the other end of the sofa, snuggled against a pillow.

Your boyfriend stepped into the leaving room, shooting you a warm comforting smile. It didn’t fool you. You’ve seen all the parts of his personality, and that sweet loving smile wasn’t anything he truly was. The silence would be awkward if the white noise of rain drops and classical music didn’t fill it. It was painful. The awkwardness in the air, his piercing gaze, and that… stupid grin on his face. You two were just… plainly not meant for each other. No- correction… He isn’t meant for anyone. No one else could tolerate him for more than a day once they got over his looks.

His gaze trailed over you, his smile never faltering.

“Good afternoon, to you too.”

He chuckled to himself, sitting down in a lounge chair directly across from you- tilting his head to the side with a raised brow.

“Penny for your thoughts?”

He asked in a sarcastic tone, his smiling widening slightly. Usually this is where the toxic, hour long arguments start. You’re debating on whether you should address his behavior for the millionth time, or just pretend like everything is normal.
