Of course, I want to be with him, but it’s just not plausible. I mean, think about it, if we broke up that would affect everyone around us as well. It would just be selfish.
This all started a few months ago, I did what I had to do for the sake of not only Spencer and I, but our co-workers too.
Me and Spencer were having a movie night, nothing out of the ordinary, except this time Spencer was feeling more bold than usual. Maybe it was the wine or the dim lighting, but at one point in the night we were looking at each other and he kissed me. It felt real and it felt right, but something in me said otherwise.
“Spencer, we can’t.” I said, pulling away.
“Yes, we can.” He leaned in again.
I stopped him by putting my hand on his chest. “No, Spencer. I’m serious. We work together, this could potentially ruin everything.” I shook my head.
I know I have a tendency to overthink, but it really did feel selfish.
“But I want to risk that for you, (y/n). It’s worth it to me. You are worth the risk.”
He looked at me with this glimmer in his eyes, one that he always had when he saw me. I didn’t know what it meant at the time, but I wish I did.
“I just… I don’t want to lose this. And I don’t want to, you know, make it awkward for everyone else if it didn’t work out.”
“But, I….” He looked at the ground for a moment.
We sat there for what felt like forever.
“So, what are you saying?” He spoke in almost a whisper, as if he was trying not to cry.
“Im saying I cant be with you… in that way.”
“In what way?”
“Romantically, Spencer.”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought.” He swallowed hard. I felt so bad, but what was I supposed to do?
“Im so sorry, Spencer. I really want to, but-“
“Then why can’t we? We both want it, (y/n/n). Why are you saying this?” He stood from the couch and I could tell he was truly hurt. I stood with him.
“Because we can’t, okay!”
“But you’re the only person I want, (y/n).”
“Spence, don’t be like this. Can’t we just be friends?”
Another long moment of silence.
“Well… I don’t want to lose you, so… yeah, I guess so. If that’s the only way.”
I grabbed his hand. He looked at me.
“We aren’t gonna let this night mess anything up, right? We care about each other too much for that.”
“Yeah, of course. I’ll see you at work.”
After that night, everything was okay between us. We remained friends and didn’t let it ruin us.
Actually, I met someone else. We’ve only been seeing each other for a few weeks casually but I’ve decided to bring him to the office holiday party. His name is Derek and he really is a sweetheart.
Tonight I’m wearing a tight dark-red dress that’s ends just above my knees. As we enter the room, I’m met with blue and frosty decorations.
Courtney and Shayne are chatting near a table that holds snacks and drinks, so I guide Derek in that direction.
“Hey, Court! Hi, Shayne!” I hug them both.
“(Y/n)! Who’s this?” She nods towards the man beside me.
“Oh! This is Derek, the guy I’ve been seeing.” He shakes both of their hands.
“Nice to meet you guys.” He smiles.
“You’re dating (y/n)? Good luck.” Shayne teases, I roll my eyes.
“Don’t listen to him.”
Courtney looks over my shoulder and smiles. “Oh, look, Spencer’s here!” They wave him over, “Spencer! Come here!”
I feel breathing get just a little harder when I see a woman walking with him, holding his hand. She was one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen. I do my best to smile. Why the hell am I jealous? This was my idea.
“Hey, guys! This is Paris.”
Fuck, even her name.
“It’s really nice to meet you all, Spencey never shuts up about you guys.”
Spencey? Before I can realize it I let out an almost unnoticeable exhale of a laugh. Spencer shoots me a warning look. I swallow. By this point Shayne and Courtney have already greeted the pair and left, leaving the four of us alone.
“It’s really nice to meet you, Paris. I’m (y/n).” I give her a polite smile, she immediately gasps and wraps me in a hug. “Oh!” I laugh, lightly hugging her back.
“You’re the famous (y/n)? It’s so great to meet you!” She lets me out of her arms.
Fuck, and she’s adorably sweet. I guess I really have no reason not to like her.
“You too!” I awkwardly nod.
“I’m Derek, by the way.” He adds, shaking the hands of the pair.
“Spencer.”
There’s a small pause. Me and Spencer look at each other for a second.
“So, um- how did you two meet?” I ask, breaking the silence.
Paris goes on and on about their first meeting, they were both at a bar about a week ago and this was only their third date.
“Well, we should probably go mingle, it was really nice to meet you, Paris. Spencer, always a pleasure.” He nods towards me before Derek and I walk away.
We both grab a drink.
“So what was that about?”
I furrow my brows. “What was what about?”
“You and that guy? I don’t know, there was just weird tension. Do you guys not get along?”
“No, we’re really good friends actually.” I laugh.
I watch as Spencer stands there with his arm around her waist. My stomach turns.
“Oh…” he look back at Spencer. “So you guys hooked up?”
“What?” I say, a little too loud. “No! No, not at all… well, I mean, we kissed, but-“
“Oh, so he’s definitely still in love with you.”
I look around, confused.
“What?”
“Babe, come on, don’t play dumb. The way he looks at you… it’s like me and that chick weren’t even in the room.”
I scoff, shaking my head.
“That’s not true, Derek.”
He rolls his eyes, “look, we both knew this wasn’t actually going anywhere. I think you’re really cool but we were both just having fun.”
I sigh, nodding.
“It’s obvious there’s something between you two, I don’t want to get involved with that.”
“I understand.”
We hug and Derek decides to leave.
I’m walking through the office, trying to find someone alone or at least a small group. The last thing I want is a big crowd.
As I pass the games pod, I see spencer at his desk. Alone.
“You know this is a party, right?” I say, sitting on the couch.
Spencer whips his head back. “Oh, yeah I was just… I don’t know.” He shakes his head.
“Where’s Paris?”
He scoffs.
“What?”
“Look, I don’t know what this game is but I’m done playing.”
“What are you talking about?”
He narrows his eyes. “You were a bitch to her.”
“Sorry, what?” I stand, crossing my arms over my chest.
He meets my gaze by standing himself.
“She was super nice to you, (y/n) and you brushed her off.”
I stand there at a loss for words for a moment, looking anywhere but in his eyes. He was right, I wasn’t very nice to her. Shit.
“Im sorry.” I finally look at him. “You’re right, I was jealous.”
He sighs, running his hands down his face. “This was your idea, (y/n)! You don’t get to be jealous.”
I’ve never seen him this mad before. The glimmer in his eye is gone and suddenly I miss it. I screwed up.
“I know, I’m sorry.”
“Okay.”
I look up at him. The way he’s glaring at me is something I never thought I’d ever see from him. It hurt.
“You’re so confusing. One day you just want to be friends and the next you’re all bitchy about the fact that I’m trying to move on! You wanted this-“
“Well, maybe I fucked up!” I shrug, dropping my arms as I sit back on the couch. My head is in my hands and I’m crying. Why am I crying? This is so embarrassing.
“(Y/n) I didn’t mean…” he sighs, sitting next to me. “Please don’t cry. I’m sorry.”
He gently rubs my back as to comfort me, but it only makes he break down more. Spencer brings me into his chest.
After a few minutes I pull myself together, sitting up.
“This is pathetic, I’m sorry.” I laugh.
“No, it’s not.”
“Honestly… I thought it would be selfish for us to be together, but I think this is worse. Either way someone gets hurt.”
He runs a hand through my hair, twirling it in his fingers, giving me and sympathetic look.
“Yeah, you’re right. I ended it with Paris. I feel bad for doing it at a party but-“
“Wait what? Why would you do that?” I turn towards him, furrowing my brows.
“There was no future there… she took it surprisingly well, though.”
“Thats good. Derek left too.” I laugh.
“Oh, that sucks. I’m sorry.” He shakes his head.
I shrug, “no, it’s fine.”
“(Y/n)?”
“Yeah?”
He looks at the ground, elbows resting on his knees. “What now?”
That’s a good question. Where do we go from here? Maybe it is best for us to be together, but I’m not sure if the offer still stands.
“Well… I guess it’s up to you.” I shrug, “but if you’ll still have me… maybe we can try that kiss again?”
He looks over at me, sitting up. “Really?”
I nod. Spencer places his hand on my cheek, gently pulling me in. As our lips meet, I let it happen this time. Again, it feels right except, this time there’s no undertones of uncertainty. By the time we pull away, the glimmer in his eye has resurfaced.
I smile.
“How was that?” He whispers.
“Perfect.”
He pulls me into his embrace, tightly hugging me like he’s never going to let go. I sigh into his chest. This feels right.
“So, what do say we go back to my place, Spencey.” I tease, smirking.
Spencer lets out a loud laugh, “Shut up.”

[Image Description: A digital painting of one of the hand devices in the simulation. In the foreground a ghostbird is grabbing the protagonist's outstretched arm as they try to flee. Both their arms and the hand device are illuminated in the light of their artifact. The image is at an upwards angle so the hand is looming against the starry sky and the characters' hands cast a shadow over the center/palm of the device. End Image Description.]

its so hard to watch time pass when things like careers and assignments exist. what do you mean im supposed to take that seriously
#I have an assignment that was due a week ago and I really really dont want to do it. I have to but i dont want to#im probably making it worse because my brain has built a wall around it so now i can’t do literally anything else until thats done. but#because I don’t want to do it I’m just kinda stuck. turns out this is what they meant when they said emotional regulation is part of#exec dysfunction.. I’ll have a thought like if I get a little bit of it done now i can get it over with. I can just submit something#and then not even 5 minutes later itll be like ugh but I have to draw all the assets out. I have to write things and make spreads ugh#and its just flopping between those two things. i hate it when ppl are like well how much time do you need to work on one thing#because BOY id love to know too. I’d love to know exactly when my brain wants to cooperate with me and work around that but I cant#even my period can’t decide when it wants to punch me in the stomach. which is kinda funny in the grand scheme of things but still#its so weird im just lying on my bed thinking abt all this like damn.. the time will pass anyways no matter what I decide to do.. damn….#if I submit that assignment now and take the L I literally won’t die. it’ll just be a deduction on an assignment nobody will ask me about#I know this but I’m still stressing myself about it so my thoughts aren’t really connecting to my body. weird#maybe its because Im having a hard time looking forward to things. theres definitely a lot I should be living for but I don’t really feel#a strong attachment to it I guess? it’s been like this for a while with holidays and meeting with friends so I just don’t#I kinda figured its because im pretty passionless and its more like passing interest. but it’s not very fun when it feels like I’m going to#be living distraction to distraction for the next 70 years or so lol#idk it kind of feels like slowly bleeding out. which is funny because I actually did experience blood loss this week#had a 30 minute nosebleed and literally could not stand. also it felt like someone was pinching the back of my brain which was interesting#yapping#does this count as vent#vent#Ive just been making an oc carrd and contemplate changing my blog header for the past 3 days honestly

fuck this shit i'm NOT working this summer
#the initial plan was to work august september#but it turned out i'll be going to vienna at the beginning of september so i was planning to work for almost the whole august instead#so i messaged a buddy of mine who's been already working in a few shops#to ask which ones would be most eagar to hire me for a month#he didn't tell me and instead went 'lmao only for a month?' and it somehow pissed me off so much#i don't need money at the moment because i have a shit ton of savings so i was planning to work mostly so i wouldn't sit bored at home#but everyone around me seems to think that all people my age should definitely work for the whole summer#that at this age that's how ot should be because adults should work instead of staying at home for weeks#well fuck you all the same thing was going on when i said i wouldn't make a diving license ans that's why im already considered a#disappointment to society#i was grinding the schoolwork like crazy this year and ended up with maxed grades from the majority of the subject meaning i will most#definitely get a scholarship that is like 500-800zl a month for a year#which is FAR MORE than I'd make working in some clothes store for 2 months#i was working so hard at school i believe i deserve a break during holidays because guess what? IM TIRED#and a perspective of resigning from a trip with friends to tire myself more at work isn't amusing to me#'but your cousin didn't go on a vacation and is working this summer'#well during the schoolyear she and her girlfriend were making cosplays amd visiting places (good for them) so she's probably not as fed up#with everything and doesn't mind working because she doesn't feel that much of a need for a break#but i do and im so damn mad at everyone who tells me otherwise#fuck off i already worked my ass off for last 9 months to get that damn scholarship so these holidays im resting#next two semesters i'll tone down om schoolwork and getting 5s only and then work during summer but not this year#AGHH i hate it here
