Dave Lizewski would rather fight crime in spandex than navigate a crowed party. Socializing has never been his strongest suit— unless you count his occasional Dungeons & Dragons session with his friends, where the biggest challenge is rolling a natural 20, not standing in a room full of loud, drunk strangers. Crowded spaces, flashing lights, and unfamiliar faces make him uneasy, but tonight, he’s here for one reason—his girlfriend. And while she thrives in this environment, Dave can’t help but feel like he’s completely out of place. Like he’s stepping into enemy territory, severely outnumbered.

The musics was just loud so much it’s vibrating through the floor as Dave follows close behind you, his hand grips yours tightly fearing you would just disappear right before his eyes. The house was packed—college students, red solo cups, a faint haze of smoke lingers in the air as well as the distinctive smell of marijuana. This wasn’t his scene, but it was yours, and a huge part of him wanted be the kind of boyfriend who could handle it.

Even if it was slowly killing him.

You looked absolutely stunning tonight—not that it was a surprise. You were always beautiful, but something about the way you carried yourself under the dim lighting made you downright mesmerizing. Your freshly done silk press flowed with every slight turn of your head, each strand catching the light like a halo around your face. The high-waisted jeans hugged your curves in all the right places, accentuating every dip and slope of your body. And that crop top? It left just enough to the imagination, showcasing your smooth, radiant skin. But what really had Dave struggling to keep his eyes off you was the glint of your butterfly belly button piercing, the tiny jewel catching every flicker of light as you moved. You were effortlessly glowing, completely in your element, and he was utterly captivated.

Unfortunately for him he wasn’t the only one who had his eyes on you. Every time you moved, every time you laughed, someone’s eyes were on you. And some guys weren’t being so subtle about it.

Dave wasn’t naive. He knows what he’s got, a gorgeous girlfriend who’s magnetic, the kind of person people gravitate towards. He also knew he wasn’t exactly…the first guy someone would think to be your boyfriend, hell he couldn’t believe it either sometimes. Why on earth would you give a guy like him an ounce of attention he was awkward, shy, and plays with legos during his free time.

Which was why it burned when some guy—tall, cocky, and way too comfortable steps up to you leaning in close to your ear to whisper something, the guy smirk widening when he pulls back to see your reaction which was a small laugh.

Dave eyebrows furrowed. His stomach twisted.

He obviously couldn’t hear what was being said and to tell the truth he didn’t want to know. You responded to what the guy said placing a casual hand on his shoulder as an indicator of ending the brief conversation, you were completely oblivious to the way Dave was unraveling inside.

He wasn’t good at this. At being the confident, self assured boyfriend who shrugged things like this off. He hated the way his mind spiraled—telling him that he wasn’t good enough and that you deserve better. That maybe you were just biding your time before you realized it too.

Dave could feel himself almost throw up at the thought of losing you.

god why can’t my mind be normal? He thought taking a deep breath suddenly feeling overwhelmed, from the lights, the music, the tainted air and his jealousy thats burning him alive.

You turned away from the conversation with your friends to check in on Dave, you knew this wasn’t his scene and a part of you felt bad for dragging him to this party. Immediately when you catch his expression your face softens. “Baby, you okay?”

Dave swallows, forcing a nod. “Yeah. Just, uh….I think I need some air”

You frowned in concern taking in his flushed cheeks, his glasses slightly fogging due to the sweat that starts to drip down his forehead which his curls catch most of it all. Guilt immediately eats at you clearly your boyfriend wasn’t doing so well, you knew he hated everything about parties in general.

“C’mon we can go if you-“ You started to say, but he cuts you off.

“No! I’ll be fine, just gonna head out back,” Dave says quickly, feeling your friends eye him in way that made him feel like he was the biggest pest on the planet.

Before you can say anything else, he lets go of your hand and disappears towards the quieter side of the house.

Dave wasn’t so sure how long he stood outside, gripping the railing of the patio staring at the ground like it held all the answers to his self-worth crisis. He felt embarrassed, and ashamed about the way he was feeling. You brought him here so he could relax, have fun, and maybe even step out of his comfort zone for a little while—not to let his mind spiral into a web of insecurities and self-doubt. You wanted him to enjoy himself, to feel included, not to stand off to the side, overthinking every glance and interaction. This was supposed to be a night of new memories together, not one where he got lost in his own head, questioning whether he was enough.

He didn’t hear you approach until he felt a hand on his back, spun around facing you sheepishly. Fortunately you didn’t look mad or annoyed instead you look concerned which mad him feel even more bad. The last thing he want is for you to worry,

“Dave, you’re not okay.” You stated, and he internally winced you hardly ever call him by his name unless it was something serious. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

His mouth opens and closes as he stares at you, the words were caught in throat and he didn’t want to admit his jealousy. Your frown deepens and you step closer to him placing a hand on his cheek, his eyes briefly closes relishing your touch.

“I got little overwhelmed ” Dave mutters, his cheeks turning pink.

You squint your eyes at him, though that may be partly true it was something deeper than that and he could tell you knew he was only giving you half the truth.

Before you could say anything a surge of rowdy people came outside from in the house, you sighed deeply before taking his wrist tugging him towards the house muttering. “Come with me “

He let you lead him back inside, past the crowd, past the noise, up a flight of stairs until you pushed open a random bedroom and you pulled him in.

“Talk to me, baby” You said almost pleadingly while closing the door behind you.

Dave hesitated,fiddling his thumbs. He hated this part–being vulnerable, admitting the ugly, insecure thoughts that gnawed at him. But the way you stood there looking at him patient, and concerned with that cute pout made him crack.

“I just…” He exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck. “I see all these guys looking at you, flirting with you and I–I don’t know. I feel like I don’t belong in the same world as you sometimes.”

A pang of sadness tightened in your chest as you watch him shrink into himself. How could he not see what you saw? That he’s your everything? You hated that he felt this way—that he thought, even for a second, that he wasn’t enough for you.

Your eye brows knitted together and then you took a step closer. “Baby,” you murmured, tilting your head to meet his gaze, as you cupped his face gently, your thumb brushing over his cheek.

“You are my world, I don’t care about the attention, the party , or those guys who mean nothing to me. You’re the only man I’ll ever have eyes for.”

Dave blinked, his lips parting slightly like he wanted to argue—but the words never came. Instead, his shoulders, once tensed, sagged under the weight of his emotions. He searched your face, as if he was trying to find some breakage reassurance, some grounds to doubt what you just said. But there was none.

His throat bobbled as he swallowed hard. You are my world. The words echoed in his mind, warm and unfamiliar, he’s never had a girl tell him that before. It felt nice, more than nice, like sunlight breaking through storm clouds.

“You really mean that?” His voice was quieter he would be surprised if you even heard him. He said it like he was ,unsure and afraid to believe it.

“Of course I do,” You smiled softly , pressed against him, fingers sliding under his hoodie to rest against his waist. The warmth of your touch sent a shiver down his spine.

His breath hitched as your fingers brushed against his skin, the warmth of your touch sparking a fire he couldn’t ignore. Slowly, he leaned in, his lips brushing against your forehead, then your cheek. “I don’t deserve you,” he whispered, his hands trembling slightly as they found their way to your waist. His body was so close to yours now, but still there was a hesitance in his movements, like he wasn’t sure if he should take that next step.

You could feel your pulse racing, and with a small, knowing smile, you pulled him closer. “You do,” you murmured, “and I’m going to show you just how much.”

Your eyes darken with a mix of excitement and desire, the hand that was fiddling with his waist was now pushing him back guiding him towards the bed.
