You were friends with tim, and you had heard about his bestfriend, Brian, all the time. but you hadn’t met him before.

You two worked at the same place, though. the two of you stood in the elevator. you could hear The Smiths play through his headphones.

“Smiths?” You asked “Hi.” Brian replied, dismissing whatever you said. “I love The Smiths.” You smiled. “Sorry?” Brian asked, taking off his headphones “I said I love The Smiths.” you repeated yourself. you guys made eye contact.
