You looked at yourself in the mirror, fixing your hair more to figure out how it was going to look.

Again you were going out with Danny, this time inside of a restaurant. This was no fun time, though.

Something had been tearing at you from the inside the day he had kissed you.

You used to be with him.

You exited the restroom, the feeling in your stomach not going away.

Danny told you he was going to pick you up soon, so there you were waiting in your apartment. Bea was gone, and you were left alone to do whatever.

You were just so nervous. He would want to leave you. He would hate you. He would never speak to you again.

At least, that's what you thought.

It didn't matter. All you needed was to get it off of your chest. Maybe you'd still have your friends. They know Danny better, though.

You'd still have Bea.

Wait.

No you won't.

She's leaving you.

All for her fiancé.

He had proposed a small while back, so Bea felt it was best to move in with him.

At least she was happy.

A knock on your door left you out of your thoughts as you straightened your posture and went to open the door. You smiled as you saw the flowers he was holding.

"Hello, m'lady. These are for you." Danny smiled and handed them to you. You looked at them, a smile still on your face. "How'd you know these were my favorite?"

"Must've came up in a conversation." He shrugged. "Can I come in?"

"Oh- Oh yeah!" You nodded and stepped aside, letting him walk in as you closed the door behind him. You watched as he looked around, walking and sitting down on your couch. "This is a nice place you got here. Anyone else live with you?"

"Bea, but she's going to move out soon. Then it'll be just me." You nodded, looking for a vase to put your flowers in. You pulled one out, placing the flowers on a counter and filling the vase with water.

"Really now? Just you?" He asked as you started cutting the ends off of the flowers.

"Yeah, it's a shame. I'm gonna be lonely playing Splatoon and Mario Kart." You put the flowers in the vase, throwing everything else away.

You put the vase on the small coffee table and sat next to Dan, crossing your legs.

"Maybe I could come over more often? Then you wouldn't be so lonely."

"You shouldn't try to take time out of your schedule for me. You have jobs, you dork." You giggled.

"I know- but maaaaybeeee.."

"Maybe?"

"Maybe I can take like- uh- Five minutes or something out to see you." He laughed.

"Wow, that's so much time." You laughed with him.

"I know!"

You smiled as you scooted closer to him, lying your head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around your shoulders, letting you get even closer. You immediately cleared your throat, wrapping your arms around his waist.

"Dan?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I- Can I talk to you about something?"

"Of course." He gave you a friendly smile, his arms still around you.

"You remember how you were telling me about all your past girlfriends and stuff?" You looked up at him.

"Yeah- Why?"

"Well, like..." You didn't even think about what you were going to say, and you trailed off. You didn't even know. Like, 'Hey, we used to go out and I broke your heart, sorry!' or something?

"Well?" He asked, obviously calm but impatient.

"I- I don't know what to say." You pulled out of his grip, and frowned, looking down at your lap.

"You can tell me anything, okay?" He scooted closer to you and placed his hands on your shoulders, looking at you.

"I- Dan." You sighed. "You know- When you were like-"

"Keep going? Younger?"

"Yeah- Younger- You had a girlfriend, you lost your virginity."

"Yeah- Of course I remember her."

"I-" You sighed, taking a deep breath.

"It's me."

"W-What?"

"You should've known, Dan." You stood up, looking down. "I mean, I look the same, I have the same goddamn name- Danny. It's me, your old gal."

"______...."

"If you want to leave, you can. I won't stop you. Just- At least be friends with me?"

You heard him stand up.

He was leaving. Of course.

That's when you felt it- His arms wrap around you. His warmth was radiating off of him onto you, as you felt tears sting your eyes.

"I knew I felt something- I knew. I just- Fuck. I don't know what to do." He sighed, his voice shaky.

You turned in his arms, wrapping your arms around him. "Just.. Be with me?"

"I'll always be with you." He frowned, kissing your forehead.

"Thank you, Dan."

"I just- Love you. I've missed you, ______."

"I've missed you too, Dan."
