Rin let out a bored huff. He hated parties, yet here he was—sitting in the corner of one. A big, crowded one no less. His friends had dragged him there with the excuse he needed to learn how to “have fun like teens his age”. But did he want to, did he care to? Absolutely not.

So he just sat there, gazing at the guests drinking and dancing, his chin in the palm of his hand, the loud music resonating in his ears like a constant reminder he was there too. But he felt like an outsider, like he didn’t belong in such place.

He got up to tell his friends he needed to take a breath of fresh air, but on his way there, he bumped into someone. You. Just when he was about to snap, his eyes darted towards yours, and his breath hitched. His heart almost skipped a beat, he felt a spark of electricity, and time seemed to stop for those—what, 5 seconds?

He just excused himself quietly and walked away. And suddently he wasn’t so adamant about leaving anymore.

His Adam’s apple bobbed up and back down when he swallowed the knot in his throat. What was this feeling, why did he feel so excited all of a sudden? He sat back at his place in the corner, his eyes searching for the person that made him.. feel. That made him feel so many things in just some seconds like no one else was ever able to during his whole life.

His gaze lit up when he spotted you, in the opposite corner. He damned himself for never caring to improve the social skills he lacked and now wished to have. He was used to insult people, not compliment them or show interest towards them. He probably seemed like a creep, looking at you like that, didn’t he? He snapped back into reality when you accidentally made eye contact. Caught red handed.
