Word Count: Approx. 3.6k

Fic Summary: During the summer before Este’s final year at college, her best friend Lucas finally arrives back in their hometown, with a surprised guest in tow. This unexpected guest throws Este’s plans off and has her dealing with her baggage before she even starts packing.

in honor of Este’s birthday (celebrating an OC’s birthday is normal, yeah?) here’s the first chapter of my first fic! jsyk, this fic is being split into three parts, so this is the first chaptered part of the series: You’ve Never Seen the Night! 

I’m still unsure as to whether I’ll keep a schedule or not, I’m going with the flow on this. anyways! feel free to share your thoughts and also let me know if you want to be tagged for when I do update, because that’s what people do, right? 

y’all, I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to at least publishing a prologue-ish chapter, but your pal is losing momentum and I’m trying my best to get back on track. but here’s a snippet for you because @nerdferatum tagged me (ty for always bullying me 💗)

She didn’t want the moment to end. She drinked in his lingering gazes, silently egging her on. She enjoyed the suspense, got drunk off of it even. It was that perfect hazy level of intoxication, and if she had one more drop in the form of another look of his — she would be left with a hangover for days. Wrecked and motionless, with regrets ebbing and flowing, slowly being replaced with a strange satisfaction.

Every bone in her body knew what was to come next. A feeling far too familiar. She’d sit at the bar with one hand tracing circles on the counter-top, a nondescript beer in the other. In the stool beside her, a pair of soft but needing eyes glancing at her between small sips and awkward breaths. The attention she craved and gladly reaped the benefits of.

But this was different. Or at least it felt that way.

The weeks had flown by in ever-growing anticipation and she still couldn’t decipher whether this was purely lust... or intrigue... all of it combined... or something else entirely.
