it started off so innocently . an unpredicted encounter with his ex at this industry party somehow turned into to him buying her a drink , escalating all the way to their second bottle of champagne . time always got away from them like that. denver's lack of inhibitions grant him the freedom of unfiltered courage . nothing feels awkward anymore . and that's dangerous . " you realize everyone's been watchin' us this whole time , wondering what we're gonna do ... ? it's funny , right ? "

went to the gas station just for a soda :o

                        “    i    really    like    you    ,    despite    who    you    are    .    i    mean    ,    every    time    you    fuck    me    over    i    come    back    ⸻    but    it’s    what    i    chose    .    the    whole    …    law    of    attraction    .    ”

he loathes it ⎯⎯ the fear that lingers in her stare , the desperation for context that has her questioning their entire relationship . it reminds him a lot of how he felt when she broke up with him . like the rug's been pulled out from under him , his whole world flipped onto it's head . the sound of the door shutting behind them is a weight off his shoulders ; solitude . thank god . " no , meads , i'm not gonna reject you , that's not what this is ... i promise you it's not . " fingers card through buzz - cut , leaning back against nearby dresser . heart races so fast ; it's all he can hear , the reverberating thump , thump , thump . denver shakes his head , ring - cladded digits pinching at the bridge of his nose . he sighs , downtrodden . " i'm not really dating her ⎯⎯⎯ it's not real . i'm not even ⎯⎯ i'm not even ready to move on yet , it's for the movie . i'm in love with you . i'm still so fuckin' in love with you . " @ontops
