when he mentioned that he had also been cheated on, the female instantly felt as sorry for him as she had been for herself. "three months and it still stings just as bad, huh?" she could tell that he maybe wasn't over it yet and that didn't give her the greatest feeling for her future. "a drink sounds nice, thanks. how long were you guys together?" she was attempting to get to know him to see if she could draw any similarities to her experience. "i'll have a vodka soda, thank you," gwen spoke to the bartender, settling into the bar stool now, turning her body to face him slightly. "noel, please tell me it gets easier," a small laugh escaped her lips, hoping that it didn't come across as her laughing at him.

he says nothing for a moment, not until she says her name. “gwen, welcome to the fucking club,” his smirk is defeated, but there’s something charming about it. “yeah, girlfriend cheated so now i’m single. three months now,” noel holds three fingers up to emphasize the time he’s been a wreck. he had loved his girlfriend. it’s so hard to accept that you have to say goodbye to a relationship. “do you want a drink, gwen? i’m noel.” the man introduces himself nonchalantly, as if this happens a lot. well, maybe because it does. he finds himself in the same conversation these past three months. first, a drink. then, let’s figure out what’s the adventure. “i like crazy first impressions, by the way,” his smile is sweet as he gestures to the bartender. “i’ll have another lager and whatever the lady wants,” he looks at her while ordering.

he liked the certainty in her voice about their next drink and where the night would take them. he wasn’t expecting much when he first approached her but it seemed like his boring night was turning around. it had been a long while since he had been on a date, let alone a fake one, but he was determined to make sure she was having a better night than what could've transpired or if the person she was meeting here had shown up. he took a sip of his drink when she did, leaning against the bar so that he could fully face her and give her all his attention. “ah so i have your friend to thank for my fake girlfriend, huh?” he teased with a smirk. “honestly, i sometimes come here after work on friday nights for a drink after a long week. people watching is sometimes entertaining. can’t say i’ve ever felt the need to step in for a pretty girl til tonight though.” he shrugged, acting as if it wasn’t even a slight inconvenience. “did you grow up around here?”

his words have her smiling lightly to herself, feeling any harshness left over from her previous encounter fade away, returning back to her usual lighthearted self. "that does make me feel a little better, i'll take it." she might not have known much about her supposed fake boyfriend for the night, but what she did know was that he was sweet and extremely attractive. and suddenly her luck felt like it was turning around. his effort to prioritize her comfort set off a flutter in her stomach, warming her before she'd nodded her head in agreement. "deal, next one is on me." she replied with certainty, since sydney had a feeling she wouldn't want to stop talking to him anytime soon. this was their so called date night after all, and the blonde figured she had nothing to lose if she leaned into the idea a little. taking her drink from him, a quiet thank you passes her lips before she's taking a much needed sip, the combo of him and alcohol doing wonders to loosen her up some. "mhm, yeah.. long day. it's my first time coming here, actually. i was supposed to be meeting a friend but something came up last minute." she explained, smiling gently at him. "what about you? what brings you here tonight?"

the male took a sip of his beer as he listened to her try to think up a dare for him, raising his brow in hopes that she’ll give him something good. when she finally spoke up, he couldn’t help the smirk on his face. “a dare is a dare,” liam said as he got up from his seat, walking up to her. as he towered over her, his hand came up and wrapped around her throat, squeezing the sides just enough to hopefully hear her breath hitch. “you tell me when you’ve had enough.”

She let out a soft chuckle and rolled her eyes as she sat back again, thinking about a dare for him. "Alright then." If he was going to want to make this interesting, she'd give him interesting. "I dare you to choke me." Charlotte started with a raise of her brow, nodding her head to make him come over. It's not like she thought he would do it but she wanted to test him at least.

[tightropc]

“i can’t believe you lied on account of both of us,” he said with a shake of his head. the last thing he wanted to do was watch his ex get married. was he even over her? no. probably not. the male had tried to block it out so hard that he didn’t even remember what day the wedding was. “okay. we can fake it til we make it, i guess.” it wasn’t like he wasn’t attracted to her, so that part wouldn’t be hard, but convincing someone who knows you better than you maybe know yourself? this would really test him. “when even is it? how much time do we have to get to know the important things about each other?” he paused, knowing that if this was going to work, they had to have some sort of foundation. “like what’s your favorite color?” charlie didn’t know why he went with that first but it just came out.

it was stupid , downright utterly stupid but once the words started coming she couldn't stop them . it was like she had no control over her own voice , the words kept coming --- slipping past her lips like it was the easiest lie she'd ever spoken but that was the thing , sally couldn't lie . she'd been bad at lying since she was a kid and any of her attempts to do so were utterly pathetic so now why was it that she was capable of not giving a shit ? " i don't think so but if we don't go now , he'll think i'm lying which i am and we'll look like losers ! " oh she hated him , she hated that she was putting charlie through this now as if their lives hadn't been bad enough . " i guess so ? at least for a little bit . we can just like pretend we love each other a lot and that we so aren't heartbroken and hold hands ? "

the comment he made about her date caused the biggest blush to appear on her cheeks. she was never one to shy away from these conversations, but they were clearly playing with fire, yet she didn’t want to stop it. “why do you think i’m here now?” the female asked with a shake of her head. she stood there with her arms crossed as her eyes followed every movement of his hands pushing his sweatpants down, biting down on her bottom lip as she did so. her attraction to him was evident since the first time they’d hooked up and she hated herself for it. “yes sir. i’ll be there in a minute.” once the microwaved dinged, she grabbed a bowl and poured the popcorn from the bag into it, snatching her water bottle from the counter before making her way back to her room to see him spread out and comfortable. “what a sight this is,” gwen teased, handing him the bowl of popcorn before setting her bottle down on the nightstand and grabbing the remote. she nestled into bed next to him, making sure that her body was touching his side. “are you gonna get too warm if i snuggle up?” she asked as she turned the tv on and flicked through the streaming services to find the movie.

when she talked about the guy she was supposed to go out with he had to chuckle, shaking his head. ❝ so you were looking for a good time, not a long time? shame, should've just called me and you could have had both. ❞ it really was the last thing he should have been saying to her, but they were in too deep. they'd started, and now it appeared that neither of them were interested in stopping. there was a slight roll of his eyes as he stood up, hands moving to his sweatpants as he tugged them down, happy that he'd opted for boxers underneath. ❝ you can make the popcorn, i'm going to make myself comfortable. ❞ he'd given her one last look as he picked up his clothes before taking off to her room, wasting no time in making himself comfortable in her bed.

“what kinda dramatic shit?” she started inquiring, realizing that she was being way too nosy to a stranger’s life without asking permission first. “wait that is if you wanna tell me. no pressure at all!” gwen took another sip of her drink after. not that she was in any mindset to flirt, but he was definitely on the more attractive side of men she could’ve found herself talking to. “well, i just broke up with my boyfriend. i mean technically ex-boyfriend. it just doesn’t go well when you catch someone cheating,” she said with a shrug, clearly numb to the whole situation. “i’m gwen. sorry this is a crazy first impression.”

“the truth?” noel chuckles as he realizes they’re both indeed having a rough night. “dramatic shit that reminds me of my ex,” he admits, pressing a hand to his chest, elbows resting on the counter. “what about you?” he wonders what kind of day she’s had. he can’t figure her vibe out right away. but one thing’s for sure, the woman is absolutely gorgeous. “i’m noel, by the way.”

away from my laptop all weekend but that won’t stop me from drafting all my replies to mass post tomorrow night when i get my laptop back.

“super like serious,” liam joked, a small laugh falling past his lips, watching as she flagged the bartender down to get another drink. hey, anything to get her a little loose and more relaxed for this conversation she had decided to start. her question made him think for a split second. he didn’t really know what he was expecting to come out of swiping right on her, but now that she mentioned another night in bed with her, he was reminiscing. “so you would do it if we weren’t together?” was he using her words against her? sure. but he was on limited time with his girlfriend gone. “look, i wasn’t expecting anything. it really wasn’t that deep. but maybe now you got me thinking about that night and about what could’ve been.” the alcohol was settling in and making him bolder.

CONTINUED from ( here. )

his reasoning painted a scowl on her features, her arms crossing against her chest in a way of judgement. "you serious?" was the only thing she could mutter at the moment as she made eye contact with the bartender getting their attention. it was clear she needed more alcohol to continue this conversation. "can i have another, please?" ellie flashed a smile in their direction then putting her focus back on liam. "first of all -- no. i didn't swipe right back. second of all -- what in the actual fuck were you expecting to get out of this? another night in bed with me?" she scoffs with a roll of her eyes before taking a sip of her new drink. "have you ever heard of letting the past be the past? because i would never do that to her. not when you two are together." @tightropc

i need exes au’s.

we just broke up and you came over to get a box of your stuff from my place but wtf the power went out because of a really bad storm and you shouldn’t be driving in this just … chill for a couple of hours, okay?

we broke up years ago and both moved away, lost touch. now our friends each suggested a blind date and shit, you’re my date apparently. 

we moved into a little apartment together while we were dating and then we broke up but neither of us could really afford to get our own place so now we’re stuck as roommates, watching each other bring home random one night stands or dates.

you were my brother/sister’s best friend and that’s how we met, and started dating. now we broke up and you’re obviously still friends with them, and you spend nights at my place but now it’s just awkward to run into you in the hall way at 1 am right after my shower.

we broke up right before a giant roadtrip our friends planned and we don’t want to bail on everyone and ruin the trip so yay, looks like we get to spend a five hour drive and a weekend in a cottage together.

we were our high school’s golden couple but we went to different colleges and the distance broke us up. fifteen years later, i’m in the middle/just getting over a bad marriage and you’re having your own relationship problems and it’s the high school reunion.

we dated pretty seriously and your parents were also absentee. now we are broken up and it’s like five years later and your absentee father is my new boss.

The Worst Person in the World (Joachim Trier, 2021)

liam had always found the female attractive and somehow hearing her talk about her sexual fantasy had his interest piqued that much more. he hadn't pegged her for a girl who liked it rough, but he was pleasantly surprised to hear so, trying not to give away that he was thinking about it now too -- with her. "let's make things interesting. hit me with your best dare." he spoke as he rose a brow to her, eagerly awaiting to see what she could come up with.

y/m and charlotte (& maybe a group of friends idk) are playing truth or dare

Charlotte's ask was to be honest about what she still wanted to explore between the sheets. Truthfully, the blonde was anything but experienced. "I mean, I've seen stuff," porn "where a girl gets choked, and such." She shrugged slowly. "I think I'd want that kind of stuff, rough. I think that's hot." Cheeks colored a little and she shook her head with a small smile, eyes back to them. "Whatever, your turn. Truth or dare."

gwen didn't know how but she found herself alone at this bar after the longest day breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, her closest friends too busy to go out. she was kind of in her own world until she heard the male next to her speaking to her. a small laugh escaped her lips at his question. "that's an understatement. i wish today was over already. what's making it rough for you?" it wasn't like her to make conversation with a stranger, but the alcohol took away anything that would've normally stopped her.

OPEN TO F LOCATION: BAR

“i think i need to get her out of my system, you know?” noel talks to no one in particular. he’s a bit drunk and really high. swirling the beer in its bottle, the man sighs and looks at the person right next to him on the bar. “rough night, too?” he asks her.

[tightropc]

they were playing a dangerous game and charlotte knew that. she had come over with her boyfriend to their weekly family dinner and somehow found herself in a sticky situation. "i am! are you having a good time?" she asked the male as she followed behind him with plates from the table that they had offered to clear, letting her boyfriend and his parents stay seated in the dining room. she was leaning over the sink when she felt his body behind her, trapping her against the counter, her breath hitching at the sudden contact to her thigh. she knew wearing a skirt probably wasn't the best option, not that she didn't enjoy his touch even though she shouldn't have. "giaan. they're right there. stop this before you get us in trouble." she made no effort to move however.

"Are you enjoying the evening?" Giaan asked her aloud, walking into the kitchen with a few dishes in his hand. Glancing back briefly for a moment to make sure no one was coming, he set the dishes aside and approached her from behind. Giaan leaned down, brushing his lips against her ear. "I really hope you're enjoying your evening, sunshine," he murmured before placing his hand on her thigh and his other hand on the counter next to her, trapping her body between him and the counter.

liam had been bored one night while waiting for his girlfriend to get ready to go out with their friends while on vacation and so he decided to just open tinder to clear out his account, but as the app opened to the home page, the first profile that popped up was her best friend. thinking nothing of it, he had swiped right and used the one super like he had that he hadn't used in months and closed the app afterwards thinking nothing of it until he was cornered while his girlfriend was in the bathroom. "drunk? no, i definitely wasn't drunk," he said with a smirk, shaking his head at her. "just because you so easily choose to forget that we hooked up before me and maddie got together doesn't mean it didn't happen, ellie. did you swipe right back?" he waited to see if his attempt to half joke would land.

( taylor swift. ) connection⠀ ⠀ — ⠀ ⠀ your muse liked ellie's online dating profile only it's awkward because you're dating her best friend/sibling/etc or they are exes. plot twist: they hooked up once back in the day and your muse hasn't been able to forget it, although ellie tends to ignore it. open⠀ ⠀ — ⠀ ⠀ anyone. mutuals / non-mutuals. * PLEASE DO NOT LIKE MY STARTERS!

"you wanna tell me why exactly you super liked my tinder account?" as if it wasn't awkward enough already, they were forced to be around one another on a group vacation. luckily, their friends had gone to sleep and the bar was open late, which compelled ellie to make her move. she wasn't usually this boisterous and brave when it came to confronting others, but she had to know why. "were you drunk? please tell me you were drunk... because why on planet earth would you think you and i would work out?" her face painted a picture of bewilderment as her fingers wrapped around her wine glass.

sally had just broken the news to him and sent charlie down a spiral. though he saw where she was coming from, the last thing he wanted was to go to his ex's wedding. he was prepared to come up with an excuse related to work to get out of going, knowing that he would look petty as all hell for it. "i get why you did it, but is it really worth even attending?" he questioned her, running a hand through his hair as he thought of the best approach to this now that she had rsvp'd for him. "i'm more into knock knock jokes, sally." he was extremely sarcastic when he spooke, the reality of the situation hitting him now. "okay, so what? we just have to go and pretend to be lovey dovey in front of them so they stop gloating and throwing it in our faces?"
