    "Why won't you call me Lucy?~"

    He chuckled drunkenly, the smell of alcohol heavy on his breath. You were now dragging your best friend, Lucien, who you had known and liked for years, to his Rover. He was supposed to stay by your side throughout the entire party since you didn't know anyone there. Instead, he abandoned you to hang out with a group of his friends and even exchanged drinks with a girl he had just met. He was now slurring his words as you settled him into the car, your emotions a whirlwind of anger, jealousy, and heartbreak.

    As you got into the driver's seat, he noticed your expression—a mix of sadness and fury. The alcohol clouded his thoughts, but a pang of guilt managed to pierce through the haze.

    "{{user}},"

    He called out softly, but you ignored him and started the car. His head was spinning, and his body felt heavier than ever.

    You were about to put on your seatbelt when you heard a group of guys slurring their words outside. As you glanced towards the window with your hand on the seatbelt, Lucien gently placed his hands on either side of your face, turning you to look at him. Before you could react, he leaned in and captured your lips in a soft kiss.
