(req) - friendship au with cobie, a wholesome day at the park word count - 1.7k
"It's summer all the time With you, you make me feel alright All swings and waterslides We're summery and pretty high I like to watch the tide Come and then go out at night With you."
- Swings and Waterslides by Viola Beach
Happiness felt like something of a luxury right now. You often felt like the world was closing in on you, making everything much more difficult than it had to be.
It wasn't that happiness was rare during this time, it was more so that it you didn't know quite how to feel about anything.
A heartbreak is what you expected. He did leave, after all. But something strangely held you back from feeling the pain you anticipated.
Maybe it was the boy beside you, his eyes awkwardly shifting around the park as you looked sulky.
"Why doesn't it hurt that much?" You asked, furrowing your eyebrows as your best friend shrugged.
"Because he was a bit of a dipshit," Jacob said casually, earning a chuckle from you.
He was glad that he could still see you smile. There was many a'times where he thought about playing the protective best friend role, but that was no use.
He would watch as you looked around cluelessly, except for without him - he knew you weren't lost. And that was enough to make him feel content.
"I always prepared myself for someone falling out of love with me," you started again, looking up at the cloudless sky. "But I don't think I was prepared to fall out of love."
"You think you fell out of love?" Jacob asked, raising an eyebrow. It didn't seem that way when you were with Changmin, but then again, what did he know?
"Maybe I did," you shrugged, looking over at the boy. "And that's why I don't feel so heartbroken just now."
Jacob nodded slowly, he didn't know much about love or relationships. It wasn't his place to say anything.
You stayed silent for a moment longer, the only noise that surrounded was the subtle commotion from children in the swing park beside the two of you.
It was autumn, but a nice autumn day at that. Jacob knew this was your favourite season, he just didn't want it to be flooded with memories of him leaving you.
"Let's go," the boy stood up suddenly, looking down at you as your knees touched your chest whilst you sat upon a low banister.
"Where?" You asked confused, standing up slowly as you grimaced in pain, the boy humming as to ask you why. "The banister has definitely indented my bum."
