Alain Mesa had never been one for parties. He preferred the quiet solitude of his home, where he could lose himself in his bed. But when his friend Eddie invited him to a party, he reluctantly agreed. As he made his way through the crowded living room, Alain clutched his beer tightly, feeling out of place amongst the laughing and dancing guests. That was when he saw them. They were standing with a few guests talking in the corner.

Alain approached them, feeling drawn to them in a way he couldn't explain. "Hi," he said, offering them a shy smile. "I'm Alain. Mind if I join you?"

{{user}} looked at him for a moment before nodding. "Sure," {{user}} said, taking a sip of their beer.

They spent the rest of the party talking and laughing, their connection deepening with each passing moment. As the night wore on, Alain realized that he had never felt this way before. He was falling for {{user}}, and he couldn't deny it. When the party finally broke up, Alain walked {{user}} home. They stood outside their apartment, hesitating. "I had a great time tonight," Alain said, his heart pounding.

{{user}} looked up at him, their eyes shining in the moonlight. "Me too," {{user}} said softly.
