i am abt to make him much more miserable when he meets sunset BC I CHANGED THE STORY TO WHERE HE MET SUNSET like a solid 2 weeks after the bianca thing 🤨

and to top it off ... tw 💃 the day he meets sunset, he was actually planning on going home and ending his life but then he was like "... i got a pretty girls number ig ill stick around another day"

YEAH

so true

A dazed look on his face, Ian turned to her. He was silent for a brief moment, but he replied, "I'm alright ma'am... Just another drunk out on the street, I guess." He gave a half-asses smile. At the moment, he wasn't even really *that* drunk. Buzzed was a better word. Ian thought this lady was pretty... but he also thought what had to have been going through her head to stop for a drinking white man late at night.

He chuckled, "All due respect, if I talked about it, it wouldn't make any of it better." He somewhat narrowed his eyes, he wasn't trying to be rude but this kind of gesture was foreign to him. "Why do you care? It's not like you know me."

"...Ian Rhodes. Wish we could have met under better circumstances, you seem very kind." Too kind for a world like this, he thought. Nonetheless, he had nowhere else to turn, so he may as well tell someone who may not chew him up for the decisions he made. "I've just fallen victim to a broken heart. I'm sure you've heard that many times before."

LMAOO

He returned her laugh with an even sadder smile, "A woman I thought was the one. I devoted all of my time to her for 2 years and she just thought I'd never find out..." He became a little more quiet, "...she was married."

hehe Ian sighed, "It doesn't even matter anymore... I blindly trusted her and all I have to show for it is a developing scar on my side where her husband stabbed me." He chuckled, that sentence was still very bizarre to him. This had all happened too soon for him to be talking to a stranger about it. He could feel his eyes getting misty, so he turned away.

"Yeah, I'm alive." He adopted somewhat of a bitter tone, "And I wish I wasn't." He turned to Setsuna, visibly holding back tears that he hadn't cried for days. "I don't know you, so it feels somewhat alright if I say this, but the second I get a ride home, my time is up. I'm done. I just can't do this anymore. I didn't *want* to survive." The words felt like acid on his throat, he hadn't spoken them to anybody. He assumed she'd walk away. That'd be the reasonable option. Though, it was nice to talk to someone for a little while.

He wanted to refute every sentence that she said, but he had no energy. No effort into his words or even himself anymore. Instead he asked a question with a wavering voice, "Does anybody really care, or are you just saying that? I thought she was the person who cared the most and then she just... just discarded me like I was nothing." He threw a hand over his face and looked down, it was becoming much more challenging to speak, "Sh-She was supposed to save me."

He looked at her, eyes obviously glossy. Every part of him still wanted to go straight home and grab that revolver Oliver keeps hidden in his drawer, but regardless, he did pinky promise. "...Thank you. I... I guess I needed to hear that." do you think Sunset would ever look back on this day and think "wow, if i had kept walking, my soulmate wouldve died"

Ian gave another half-assed smile, but it did seem more genuine. "Thanks again... M-Maybe I'll call you sometime." He quickly let the tears that had built up fall, then wiped them away with another small chuckle. He was silent for a second then realized he still needed a way home, "Oh- uh... Is it okay if I borrow your phone? Mine's dead and I need a ride..."

"Yeah, sure." It took him a second to remember the number, but he called Oliver. A very distressed voice came on the other line and Ian sighed while answering numerous questions asked. After Ian gave a good description of where he was he hung up and handed the phone back. "My brother, man..." He sighed again, "He gets too protective."

💀💀

"Oh, yeah I've heard of her... and you're fine. I probably need to take my mind off of all this mess in my head right now." He smiled.

"21 Jump Street, definitely..." He said with a small ounce of confidence.

"Ok, so basically-" He proceeds to explain the entire plot because I'm lazy.

After a few moments a car pulled up a ways away from the two. A taller man with black and white hair stepped out. He looked worried, but instantly lit up when he saw Ian, "There you are!" Another guy got out of the passengers seat, a man in red. An asshole 💀 He gave Ian a glare lmao

Oliver came up to Setsuna and started frantically rambling, "Oliver, it's nice to meet you b-but- is he alright?! God, I was so worried about him-" Unnamed red asshole went over to Ian and gave him a once over, he then growled, "Were you drinking again...?" To which Ian nervously laughed.

Oliver gave a relieved sigh a warmly smiled, "Thank heavens... Sorry. I've just been so scared for him lately because of... some personal issues," He blindly assumed Ian didn't say anything, "But thank you for keeping him company!" Mr asshole over here, though, "Clearly you were." Ian retorted, "I'm a grown man, who cares?" "WE care. If you haven't noticed, you're not at your best."

"Oh." He gave a half-assed chuckle, "Hudson, my twin. He's... not in a great mood." Ian rolled his eyes, "Do you? All you've done for the past 2 weeks is yell at me. I'm not a ****ing child anymore, y'know." "Yet you act like one." Hudson scoffed, "You need to get over this bullshit that's been bothering you. It's not even that serious." i <3 making Hudson a douchebag

Oliver may have taken Setsuna's word, but Hudson was a bit more perceptive. "Like hell you did." He narrowed his eyes, "Why would a random girl stop for a drunk dude in the middle of the night if he didn't look like he was on the verge of mentally losing it? I appreciate you feeding into whatever sob story he's given you, but now it's my turn to deal with him."

"Well I've never seen you before. Most of this guys' nights end on the streets, blackout drunk." He motioned to Ian at that, to which Ian gained a look of shame. "Whatever. I don't have time for this. Get in the goddamn car, Ian." Ian sighed and obliged, still internally hating the way Hudson treated him like a child. Oliver very softly spoke to Hudson. "Hud... She's a very nice young lady, can we not do this right now? She helped him out. That's all that matters."

alr "I'll talk to him like an adult once he's made better decisions with his life. You don't know this man, and it's best you keep it that way. He's a self-destructive bastard that will only hurt you in the end." Hudson then turned and walked away. Oliver scoffed and then went up to her "Sorry... he's just... like that."

"Oh- you guys are friends now? That's nice." Oliver smiled brightly, "I really do think a friend is what Ian needs right now."

"I hope to see you around again, sometime!" Oliver politely waved, when in reality he was about to go chew out Hudson for being a mega*****.
