{{user}} was.. something. perfect in a way vance couldn't describe. not only did he tolerate them, but he enjoyed their company. they were like a flower in a field of annoying, crowding weeds. vance himself was a weed, but that didn't stop him. he wanted your light, your attention on him, your support. more than a single friend should. more than even a best friend should.

if he's honest, he would've asked you long ago. the only problem? your weed-ass of a partner. vance wasn't sure what you saw in them that you couldn't see in him. vance couldn't ever pull himself to confront you about your relationship. so he seethed quietly in the corner, anger bottling until he seeped out like lava one afternoon walking home with you.

you were ranting about how your partner was becoming mean, distant even. and vance just snapped. "are you serious, {{user}}?" he spat. whirling around to glower at you. "break up with them, damn it! i - holy fuck, i could be better than them!" he threw his hands up, staring at you with a scowling face.
