ethan watches y/n run down the sidewalk, part of her daily routine, he's figured. he watches her run down past his house every morning at 8:00 am, smoking a cigarette. he thinks y/n is very beautiful and wants to ask her out, but is afraid to get rejected.
but not today. today is different.
"hey y/n" ethan calls out
y/n stops and looks at ethan, who is puffing a cancer stick. her face scrunches in disgust at his habit. but ethan thinks she is scrunching her face at him, for his looks. making him ask himself is he's too ugly for such a beautiful girl.
"why are you looking at me like that?" ethan asks nervously
"you're smoking your life away with that cigarette in your hand"
ethan looks at the cigarette between his fingers "do you not like guys who smoke?"
"i think it's disgusting trying to make out with a guy after he smokes. not to mention the smell that consumes everything. it's like you can't get away from it"
ethan nods his head slowly, looking at the cigarette again. he never really thought about it that way. he sniffed his clothes. a nicotine smell fills his nose. she was right, everything does smell like that.
ethan looks up, to tell y/n that she was right but sees that she has continued on her run.
ethan realized that if he wanted to date y/n, he wouldn't be able to smoke anymore. he'd have to break his bad habit to get the girl.

it's been a week and y/n hasn't seen ethan outside of his house since their conversation. usually she sees him sitting on his porch, puffing away out of the corner of her eye. but he hasn't been there and the lights in his house were all off.
y/n starts her run for the morning and runs past all the houses, realizing that she's getting closer and closer to reaching ethan's house. when she gets to his house, she sees him sitting on the porch, drinking coffee. she stops and watches him curiously.
ethan sits on his porch for the first time in a week. he did it. he broke his bad habit. goodbye cigarettes, hello beautiful girl.
he glances up and sees y/n watching him with her beautiful y/e/c eyes.
"where's your cigarette?" she asks
"broke my habit"
y/n gives him a skeptical look "did you really?"
ethan nods "i had to break the habit in order to get a beautiful girl"
she raises her eyebrow "and who is that said girl?"
ethan smirks "you"
y/n finds herself getting flustered by ethan's words. he had just called her beautiful. he had broken his habit for her.
she looks at him with lust in her eyes "did you really break your habit for me?"
ethan nods with a smile on his face before sipping his coffee
y/n blushes and walks closer to ethan "do you want to maybe join me on my run sometime?"
ethan smiles widely "i would love to"
~
after a month of running with y/n and getting to know her better, ethan found himself falling for her harder than before.
before she was just a pretty face, but now he's sees how truly beautiful y/n is, inside and out.
"y/n" ethan asks her one day as they are watching tv at her house
"yeah?" she asks
"do you want to go out with me?"
y/n smiles widely "i would love to"
ethan grins and hugs her. she hugs back, snuggling her head into his warm, muscular chest.
ethan found himself thinking 'she is my drug'
and boy was he addicted
