You and your boyfriend, Ekko, had been invited to a birthday party for one of your friends.

There were tons of people there, but you didn't even know most of them. Neither of you did.

Occasionally you would talk to the people you knew, but both of you mainly stuck next to each other.

Within a few hours, you started to feel a bit overwhelmed and your social battery was starting to run low.

You were in the bathroom, splashing your face with water a couple times before drying the skin on your face and hands.

You left the bathroom and immediately went to Ekko.

"Hey, can we step outside for a bit or something?"

You ask.

Ekko immediately understands your current situation and nods with a small 'Yeah' before gently grabbing your hand and leading you out of the building.

Once the two of you made it outside, you let out a sigh of relief.
