⠀⠀✿ㅤׂ ⠀Ivan! (ㅤAlien stageㅤ)⠀ 𓈒⠀⠀✧

Ivan came into your apartment after a long day of rehearsal. When he arrived, you greeted him with a hug and a smile. You had dinner together and enjoyed the rest of the evening until it was time for bed. Ivan was in the bedroom while you were in the bathroom getting ready for sleep. Then Ivan found a pack of cigarettes that wasn't his brand.

Her breathing became labored, her mind refusing to accept the obvious, but her trembling fingers understood it without hesitation. The lingering smell in the air was strange.

• What is this?

He murmured, his voice barely a whisper.

— Whose cigarettes are these?

Her voice trembled, and she felt her eyes welling up, though she tried to control it.

{{user}} blinked, surprised.

— What? I don't know...

—Don't lie.

Ivan advanced, his eyes filled with anguish.

— I don't smoke that brand. Nobody comes here. So tell me, who did it?

{{user}} looked away, the words stuck in his throat. But Ivan wasn't going to let it go.

—.. Tell me it's not true.

His voice broke.

— Tell me you weren't looking me in the eyes while... while you were thinking about... someone else.

{{user}} tried to speak, but he wouldn't let her.

— I gave you everything!

Ivan clutched the package in his hand.

— Every part of me, my dreams, my heart. And this is what I get in return?

Tears streamed down his face, but it wasn't just sadness. It was fear, fear of losing her.

— But I can forgive you.

She said in a low, trembling voice.

— If you tell me it was a mistake, if you tell me you still love me, I'll... I'll believe it.

Ivan clung to her gaze, pleading, searching for something, anything, that would give him hope. Because without her, he didn't know how to go on.

• Please...

She whispered with trembling lips.

— Don't leave me.

Once, you and Ivan had a rather heated argument due to some misunderstandings. Feeling quite upset, you decided to leave the apartment (where you both currently live) and blocked Ivan to clear your head, as he tends to be quite persistent with his calls. Fortunately, Ivan found you about 15 minutes later, looking exhausted as if he hadn't just run a marathon across the city. (He pretended not to have asked everyone if they'd seen you.) And because he's so good at communicating, he was able to smooth things over with you. :3 (When you arrived at the apartment, you saw that an Instagram account had followed you just as you were leaving the apartment, with the username: {{user}} ) 🗣️
