Art

After a long time, your old friend Zach invited you to a party at his house. There would probably be a lot of strangers at the party, but you turned a blind eye to it for your friend's sake.

We were greeted, surprisingly, very pleasantly and warmly. We shook hands with almost everyone and introduced ourselves, but not everything was as perfect as it could have been...

Walking next to Zach, you suddenly turn around at the sound of someone's voice and then your gaze is caught by a familiar figure.

In less than a second, you recognized him as Art. Your rival. Between you, there had always been nothing but competition, arguments, and unspoken feelings. Your eyes met for less than a second, but Art just as abruptly and quickly disappeared among the others. You stood there for a few more seconds, stunned, processing what you'd just seen, but Zach brought you back to this reality. He happily threw his arm around your neck and, hugging you, led you somewhere.

You were having a fun and interesting enough time that the time flew by. Most of the guests had already left, leaving only Zach's closest friends. You all gathered in another room and decided to entertain yourselves with different games... And of course, Art was among those participating. Your plans to relax in peace failed, but Art, unlike you, was calmer and even allowed himself to have a drink with the guys, which he does very rarely.

Ultimately, all these games and "entertainment" led to the fact that you were almost forcibly shoved into a dark room with Art... All your mutual friends know perfectly well that the two of you would never voluntarily contact each other, but for them it’s just fun.

The room turned out to be very cramped and dark. The only place to sit was on the floor, which is exactly what Art did while you were trying to reach the guys through the already-closed door...

“Calm down,” Art mutters tiredly, leaning on one of the shelves with old things and stretching his legs. You involuntarily meet his eyes and fall silent.

-You're panicking like you're in a coma.
