A Romantic

well well well

they’ve been through the whole history. connor falling for his bi best friend with a gf. wearing his heart in his sleeve for weeks. moping around bc feelings are too much. sharing ice cream late at night and a few tears bc “connor i miss you so much. look at this greek sunset. so beautiful but not as beautiful as you” and you can see a female hand peaking on the side. “can’t wait for august baby, myshane misses hisilya”. and babe you need to set those boundaries, you deserve to be loved. you deserve to be shown off and celebrated. and then summerkissboycamp happens and they are struggling bc connor doesn’t update them so frequently, and “babe how is it going?” “we’ve seen she’s there, how are you?” and it’s a bit of radio silence and then “i think i need an intervention” and there is a group call, “and he’s single guys” “what do i do, actor!troy (bc let’s face im not giving up on him) asked me to go get coffee?” “you should go” (can we throw here some petty toxic advise?) and maybe maybe the attention connor is getting makes him glow a bit more and maybe he’s able to distance himself a bit?

i trust you with this 🙂‍↕️

well the girls are locked and loaded and ready to go. so many screenshots of their texts in the group chat with eye roll emojis and 'put this whole man in the trash' and connor is like c'mon it's not like that, I think sometimes he doesn't realise what he's doing (incriminating screenshot number 1: text at 3am greece time I loveee yuoo followed up with *Youu and miss you and wish you were here why are you sobusy) and the girls are like NO! that is called stringing along! (incriminating screenshot number 2: shirtless selfie with one bicep tenses with the caption following the connor storrie bicep routine gonna put u over my shoulder when I see u) and they all agree. he's gonna keep it casual in toronto! no more co-star shenanigans and hudson's too important. they all agree, ok good, good luck babe, you got this!

but of course he doesn't got this because wow, it's ten times more intense than it was last year. hudson tearfully tells him on their first night he thinks his relationship is over, what should he do? what's connor supposed to do, not hug him and kiss the top of his head, tell him whatever he does it will be ok, he's here for him? and what's he going to do, let hudson be alone? of course he's going to let him stay in his apartment so he doesn't feel alone. and oh what the girls don't know doesn't hurt them, and he doesn't think about what not telling them about this means. except it all comes out when they come up to visit and suddenly the camp is split. two of them are still no, no way, leave it alone, who's this other cute guy, tell us more about him? but two of them are like well...if he is single...maybe now is the time? let him get a bit of distance, so it's not a rebound. and troy!actor is texting him lightly flirting and hudson is giving him good morning kisses all gravelly-voice and soft in his bed and of course connor knows the right thing to do is to gently tell hudson to leave it. come back to it in six months, away from set, when your heart is healed. have a hot fun affair with his hot available other costar. life is long, if it's meant to be, it'll be!
