[SE] i wanna be your last first kiss

All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life

Stubble scratched against Soh’s palms as she held Zavien’s gaze, heart thundering in her chest. She hated this, hated that he seemed so hurt by the actions of her friends. If she could take that pain away, she would; she’d do anything in her power to mend the burned bridges and bring them all back to a place where they could get along. But none of that was in her power to do, and so all she could do was offer what reassurance she could that it didn’t matter to her.

”Hey,” she said gently as his green eyes diverted from hers. ”Don’t do that. None of this is your fault. I’m not planning on tiptoeing around anyone. This doesn’t change a thing for me.” Maybe it meant they wouldn’t be hanging out together or going on double dates, but that was okay. It wasn’t like they didn’t have other friends, if they were so inclined. Trying on a smile, Soh tried to coax Zavien to meet her eyes. ”But I guess I’ll understand if you don’t want to be my date to their wedding,” she teased.

Dropping her hands, she eased back to her previous position against his side. ”I’m sorry,” she said. ”I know that wasn’t an easy conversation, but… I’m glad we had it.”

Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life
