You knew you were fucked the moment Jayce asked you to attend a ‘small’ council party with him. His big shiny eyes, his voiced just barely pitched up in excitement.

How could you say no?

You’d wished you said no. It was loud, smell of harsh perfume and alcohol. You sat outside. Jayce had mindlessly abandoned you half an hour ago.

so here you were, stuck in a tight outfit. Uncomfortable shoes and the weight of the glass in your hand.

Jayce was inside looking for you. He was ready to leave. Tuckered out, a little tipsy. Wanting nothing more than to fall asleep on the drive home. He just had to find you first.

After another half hour of searching he gave up and went outside. The last place he checked, you were there. Empty glass beside you. Admiring the stars while he admired you.

“Hey, I’m ready to go.” Jayce said softly. Just a few feet away. Leaning on a pillar. His gapped smile better than the previous view of the stars.
