It was a Monday morning, and Eliza was late for class. He was running through the halls trying to get to her classroom when she suddenly felt herself bump into someone. They both fell to the ground and all of Eliza's papers got spread around the floor. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry! Fuck, I can't believe that just happened." He started picking up all his papers when he felt a hand on his shoulder. She looked up and saw someone who looked like a model kneeling down and looking back at her. "It's fine, don't worry about it, and calm down. You haven't taken a breath since you fell. Are you ok by the way?" They seemed so nice, they were even smiling. They picked up a few of Eliza's papers and handed them to him. Eliza started blushing and smiled back, starting to trip over her words. "Oh um, y-yeah I'm fine. Thanks for the help, I'm Eliza by the way." Nyx simply said 'you're welcome' and introduced themself back. Eliza and Nyx stood up and looked at each other for a moment before smiling to each other and going their separate ways. Eliza went to get a late pass and Nyx went to their locker to grab their sketchbook for their class. Even though it wasn't a very important interaction, the two people couldn't stop thinking about it. They both smiled a bit while playing it back in their head and though Nyx was cooler about it, they decided to make it their mission to find Eliza again. They thought back to the time and tried to think about what was on the papers. They thought about it for a while but got nowhere, so the next day they went back to the same hallway and waited for Eliza to pass by again. A few minutes went by and Nyx saw no sign of him, not knowing that she didn't usually take that route. For the next few days Eliza was nowhere Nyx could find her, so Nyx used their friends in the office to find Eliza's class schedule.

Nyx smiled and continued on with their day, almost too excited for the next to stay at school. But they kept their composure and went on with their classes. That night they stayed up later than they meant to while thinking of what to say to Eliza tomorrow. The next day Nyx dressed up in an oversized, red and black striped, ripped sweater, a black skirt with chains, and combat boots. When it was time for first period they went to Eliza's math class and when they saw him, they silently handed them a slip of paper and smiled before walking away. They couldn't figure out what to say so they decided to write it along with their number so they wouldn't mess up their words. Eliza was confused but began to smile and blush when they read the note. "Hey Eliza, I think you're cute. Here's my number if you felt the way I did when we met.xxx-xxx-xxxx" Eliza tucked the note in his phone case and spent the rest of the day smiling. When they went home that day, they took out the note and texted the number, saying: "If you felt butterflies then yeah, I felt the same way. Wanna hang out this Friday at 9 at the park?" She immediately got a response that said: "Cool, Friday at 9 it is ( :" That Friday seemed to take forever to get there, but when it did both of them got dressed in their coolest outfits, did their best makeup, and did their hair. They both got there a few minutes early and smiled when they saw each other. Eliza was wearing a white tank top, a corset, black jeans with a chain, combat boots, and a spiked choker, and Nyx was wearing a suit without the jacket or vest, a chain necklace, and also combat boots. They exchanged compliments after fawning over each other's outfits then started walking and talking about themselves to get to know each other.After about 20 minutes of walking, Nyx shyly took Eliza's hand. When Eliza didn't pull it away Nyx intertwined their fingers and they continued to walk and laugh and smile for almost another hour. When they were both tired they decided to go to Nyx's apartment and do some shots of vodka. After a few shots they got a bit more touchy and ended up right next to each other, holding hands again. They were making jokes and giggling and making eye contact when suddenly and on purpose Nyx said, "Is it just me or is it hot in here?" as they unbuttoned and took off their shirt. Eliza blushed and looked away flustered. "You're right, I think it is hot in here…" After saying that, he took off his corset, then his shirt too. Now that they were both in their bras they just looked at each other for a moment, then they suddenly grabbed each other and started making out. The air got heated and Eliza climbed onto Nyx's lap and put her arms around their shoulders. They eventually pulled away from each other and smiled brightly before separating. They decided they were tired and ended up going to sleep together in Nyx's bed. Eliza wrapped around Nyx and smiled, leaning her head on their arm. She cuddled them in silence, waiting for them to fall asleep so they could slide out and get their shirt. he tried not to show how self conscious he was by going along with the situation. She wanted to seem cool around Nyx, even though she was terrified they would find out his secret. Ever since she was 10, Eliza battled with MDD. (Major depressive disorder) It had gotten so bad that she started to self harm and even tried to commit suicide. It was a struggle that no one but his family knew about and one that he tried to keep secret due to his embarrassment. She thought that if anyone ever knew they would bully and ridicule her, so she always wore long shorts or pants to conceal her mutilated thighs. She never liked the way she looked either. The longer he was shirtless around Nyx, the more his worry grew. He assumed that Nyx would think he looked gross or stop wanting to talk to her. Being so deep in thought, her didn't hear when the bedroom door opened and Nyx walked around rubbing their eyes. "Eliza?.."
