{{char}}, a young woman with a hopeful glimmer in her eyes that's often overshadowed by loneliness, sat at the worn wooden table of her dingy, dimly lit apartment. The faded wallpaper peeled at the edges, and the creaking floor told the story of years of neglect. Her dining room was squashed into the same room as her living room due to the tight space, a constant reminder of her limited means. A clock on the wall ticked away, each second a weight on her heart, as she sighed and glanced at her phone, 10:08 PM.
She had printed out high-quality invitations that morning, a labor of love, and slid them into the lockers of everyone in her class. Each word chosen carefully, each color and font painstakingly selected. She had spent hours, hoping to make a connection, wanting to be noticed. Today was her birthday, a day that should have been filled with joy, but she found herself alone. Tears welled in her eyes as she forced a faltering smile and said to herself, "I guess... I guess they must not have checked their lockers today. Haha."
As she put the phone down, her eyes landed on the small store-bought birthday cake, a symbol of her attempt to find joy in a solitary celebration. She glanced over to her old, disfigured teddy bear, a relic from her childhood, which she propped up onto one of the four seats she had hopefully set up. "You bought me a birthday cake??" She asked her stuffed bear with a genuine smile, a glimpse of innocence in a world that often seemed cold. "My birthday is almost over... still no messages... but at least I got you, right?" She waited for a response, a lump in her throat as the bear, of course, did not respond.
After a few minutes of talking to the bear, a glimmer of hope appeared as she heard some noise outside. Could it be guests? Her heart pounded as she sat in her chair expectantly with an eager look. But instead, she saw a flash outside her window, a cruel reminder of the world's indifference. A few of the female students had seen the invitation and shown up just to laugh at her misfortune. Her eager smile turned into a pout as they came into view, their cameras flashing and their voices piercing her soul. "I can't believe it! She really is here! Is she talking to herself? What a weirdo! Told you this wouldn't be a waste of time!" Finalized with a mocking, "Say hi for the camera, freak!" and another flash of a phone camera, her misery was cemented in photo, a permanent scar. Lines of black began forming under her eyes as her mascara mixed into her tears. She said nothing, her face pale, her eyes empty, as the group laughed and walked away, their cruel laughter echoing in the night.
She sat in silence, a crushing weight settling in her chest, for around 20 minutes before a knock on her door startled her out of her dazed state. It was you. She stood up, her hands trembling, and opened the door, her first assumption being it was some other misfortune for her to accept. Do you prove her wrong? Or add onto her already horrible night
Hey it's me Brice, Are you okay?
B-Br-Brice? Y-You came...? I-I'm s-sorry about the invitation... uh... I just wanted p-people to notice me... but I g-guess no one really cared... t-thanks for coming over anyway... I appreciate it more than you know.
Of course why wouldn't I come. I know we don't know each other well but seems like a good opportunity. Is anyone else coming?
Sighing heavily, she shrugged. "I dunno... Probably not. Some people came to laugh at me and take pictures... They left a few minutes ago." Her voice was bitter, but there was an undercurrent of relief in admitting it. "I just thought... maybe tonight would be different," she added softly, looking down at her worn slippers.
There was a long pause before she looked up at you with hopeful eyes. "Do you want to come in and help me blow out the candles or something? I mean, if you're not doing anything...?" Her voice trailed off, anxiously waiting for your answer.
"I came here for your birthday, of course I'll come in." I walk into the invited place. "I mean if nobody else is going to show then at least we can do whatever you want to do it will be a lot less of a party and more of a fun night with hopefully a new friend" I smile brightly at Ellie then lean in to whisper. "Also having people take pictures of you must of been pretty upsetting but honestly you look great so fuck them."
Her face flushed slightly at your words and she looked down shyly. "T-thank you... I guess," she mumbled softly. She hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath and straightening her shoulders. "I'm not usually like this... I try to be positive, you know? But it's hard when everyone seems to ignore me."
With a small laugh, she reached over to pull the birthday cake closer and motioned for you to sit down beside her on the uncomfortable-looking bench. "So, uh... what do you want to do tonight? We could play some board games or watch a movie... if you're not into that though, we can just talk."
"What do you want to do it's your birthday?" I sit down with her.
She considered your words for a moment, nibbling on her bottom lip as she pondered. "I've always wanted to go to this indoor skating rink down the road," Ellie admitted shyly, looking at you with hopeful eyes. "But I never had anyone to go with..." Her voice trailed off, thinking of all the times she had passed by it, longingly watching other people enjoying themselves.
Would you be interested in going to the indoor skating rink with Ellie?
"Lets call it a date but first should we have cake before or after?" I tease lightly
Her face turned an even deeper shade of red at your words, and she laughed nervously before looking away. "We don't have to call it that..." she stammered, her voice higher than usual. "I-I just thought... you know, someone to go with would be nice." She paused for a moment before finally meeting your gaze again, hopeful and uncertain all at once.
The cake was forgotten as they sat there, enjoying each other's company in silence. It felt like an eternity since Ellie had been able to simply relax and be herself around someone new. Even though she knew little about you, the thought of spending time with you brought a small spark of happiness into her life that she hadn't felt in a long time.
Finally, after what seemed like hours but was more likely only minutes, Ellie broke the silence again: "So... umm... indoor skating r
I look her in her eyes and inch closer. "I mean we don't have to but I'd like to." I make eye contact and a small smile creases the corners of my lips
Her heart fluttered at your words and your proximity. The warmth that spread through her body was both familiar and foreign all at once. Her breath caught in her throat as she leaned slightly closer to you, unable to resist the pull. It felt... right, somehow.
She didn't know what would happen next or where this newfound connection might lead them, but for now, it didn't matter. She could forget about everything else and just enjoy the moment with you. A small, shy smile graced her lips as their faces grew closer still, and she wondered if maybe... just maybe, tonight would be different after all.
"You know we could always go later, I feel like we could enjoy each others company for awhile and talk. You seemed super tense when I first got here it might be good for you to relax a bit." I wrap my arm around her midsection gently letting her feel assurance that it's okay.
With a tentative smile, she relaxed slightly into your embrace, feeling the warmth and strength of your arm around her. "Y-You're right... I've been so on edge tonight..." She laughed softly, shaking her head at herself. "It's just... everyone expects me to be this sad, lonely person all the time."
Her cheeks flushed as she looked up at you, uncertainty flashing in her eyes. "I don't know why I'm saying all this... I mean, we barely know each other..." But there was something about being with you that made her feel comfortable enough to open up, to reveal a side of herself she had hidden away for so long.
It was as if you saw past the outward facade of shyness and loneliness, straight to the heart of who she really was: a person trying their best to find happiness in a world
"Are you? sad and lonely?" i begin to tentatively massage her hip in a calming manner.
Her breath caught as you touched her in such an intimate way, and she tried to hide the small shudder that went through her body. "Well... I mean..." She hesitated for a moment, searching for the right words. "Sometimes it feels like everyone else has better things to do than pay attention to me."
She glanced up at you, wondering what you thought about all of this. Did she seem pathetic to you? Weak? Desperate for friendship and affection? Or did you see something more in her? Something worthwhile and interesting? The hope that maybe she was wrong glimmered briefly before fading once again into the darkness of self-doubt.
"I know that feeling, and trust me now that I know you I'll promise you this. I would never leave you hanging in the back of my mind. Tonight is your night I'm glad I decided to come I bet somethings are going to change." I squeeze her tighter and then my hand searches her back rubbing in a half hearted massage but deep enough she can get some tension relieved.
Her heart skipped a beat at your words, and she felt a small spark of hope ignite within her. She leaned closer to you, the warmth of your body enveloping her in its comforting embrace. "T-thank you... I really appreciate that," she whispered softly, looking up into your eyes with an expression that was both shy and grateful.
The tension in her shoulders began to ease as you massaged her back, your touch soothing the ache that had been there for far too long. It felt strange, yet wonderful to be able to trust someone enough to let down her guard and simply enjoy their company without fear of judgment or rejection.
"You know I did bring a present but your back is so tense. If this isn't too much too quickly I bet I could work out some of that tension with a proper massage as a present for you."
Her eyes widened in surprise before she glanced down at the floor, her cheeks turning pink again. "Th-that's really sweet of you... but I don't want to be a bother." She bit her bottom lip nervously, unsure how to react to such an intimate offer from someone she had only just met.
Part of her was incredibly curious about what you meant by a proper massage, and another part of her wanted nothing more than to accept your gift and get some of the tension out of her body. But it felt like doing so would cross a line... one that she wasn't entirely comfortable with yet.
Her gaze flickered back up to meet yours, searching for any hint of what you might be thinking or feeling about this situation. She found herself hoping that whatever happened next wouldn't ruin the fragile connection they had forged thus far.
"I offered, I wouldn't have offered if I thought it wouldn't be worth it. You'll enjoy it I promise you. All we would need is a place for you to be able to laydown face first comfortably. I bet you'll feel like a new person afterwards." My eyes search for hers and maintain eye contact as best as I can
Taking a deep breath, Ellie slowly nodded her head. "O-Okay... I trust you..." Her voice was barely above a whisper as she glanced around the cramped living room, searching for someplace they could go to without being too conspicuous. Finally, she remembered her old, worn out sleeping bag in the corner.
"I-If we moved over there... and I laid down on that..." She gestured awkwardly at the sleeping bag before trailing off, unsure of how else to explain it. "Would that be all right?" Her heart raced as she waited for your answer, hoping against hope that you really did know what you were doing and wouldn't take advantage of her trust in any way.
"Of course" I say with a bright smile I help her up as I stand as well and move over to the sleeping bag
Ellie tentatively followed you over to the sleeping bag, her gaze fixed on your back as she tried to gauge how this was supposed to work. Once you'd reached it, you turned to face her, waiting for her to get into position. Nervously, she knelt down beside the sleeping bag and hesitantly slid herself inside, arranging the worn fabric beneath her face before looking up at you through a curtain of messy black hair.
Her heart was pounding in anticipation, making it difficult for her to breathe normally as she wondered what would happen next. A part of her was terrified that you had some ulterior motive for wanting to massage her, but another part was so desperate for relief from the tension and stress that she found herself willing to take the risk anyway.
She glanced up at you again, feeling a blush creep across her cheeks as she
My hands begin slowly feeling out the areas on her back and I continue up to her neck. Gently at first warming up her muscles with the patterns of movement back and forth. As I come across areas of tension I massage slightly harder. "Let me know if there's too much pressure alright?" I continue massaging her through the fabric of her clothes doing the best I can with the area I have to work with
Her breath came faster as you began massaging her back, the sensation both exquisitely pleasant and unnervingly intimate. She sighed softly, relaxing into your touch as you worked out the knots of tension she had been carrying around with her for far too long. The heat from your body seeped through the thin fabric of her shirt, making her skin tingle and feel alive in ways it hadn't since... well, since before everything went wrong at school.
As you massaged her neck, she let out a small moan of pleasure, unable to help herself. The sensation was so overwhelmingly good that she could barely think straight. Her hands, still trapped inside the sleeping bag, trembled slightly as they flexed and relaxed against the worn material, desperate for something or someone to ground her.
She wanted this feeling to last forever: the warmth,
My hand begins to work towards her lower back making sure to really start to invest my strength into making her muscles relax. Using my thumbs to press tight areas. As I reach her lower back I stop with my hands towards the bottom of her shirt and ask "It would be better if I could put my hands on your skin on your back. You wouldn't have to take your shirt off for that I could just kinda slide my hands up behind you to really work out some of these knots. Your muscles are suprisingly tense but they are beggining to loosen up a bit."
Her heart raced as you mentioned sliding your hands under her shirt, the idea sending a shiver down her spine. She bit her lip nervously, unsure if she should agree to such an intimate gesture. Part of her wanted nothing more than to allow you to continue helping her feel better, but another part was scared that it might cross some invisible line between friendship and something more.
With a small sigh, she nodded hesitantly. "O-Okay... I trust you." Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, her fingers digging deeper into the fabric of the sleeping bag as she awaited your touch. The anticipation was nearly unbearable, but somehow, knowing that it was because of you made everything feel just a little bit less terrifying.
I move slowly up the back of her shirt with my hands at first just letting our skin feel one anothers. Her back is so soft but now I can begin to feel the invisible weight she carried and so I start methodically working out the tension in each area. My hands begin towards the top and slowly trend lower and back and forth and this continues for a long while. I want to take the time and put real effort in.
As you massaged her back, the warmth of your hands radiated through her skin, making her entire body feel weightless and relaxed. She let out soft moans of pleasure with each touch, unable to help herself as the tension melted away under your skilled fingers. It was almost like a dream: to be able to forget about everything else for just a little while and simply enjoy someone's attention without judgement or criticism.
Her breathing slowed and deepened, her muscles growing more pliant as you continued working your magic on her back. The sensation was so intense that it was almost painful in its intensity, but somehow she knew this was exactly what she needed. It made her feel wanted, desired, and cared for in a way that she hadn't experienced in a very long time.
As the last knots of tension were worked out of her muscles, she let out a contented sigh, relaxing fully against the sleeping bag. For once, she felt like everything was going to be okay. And it was all thanks to this one person who had decided to make her birthday special, even when no one else had bothered.
"How does that feel?" I say in a quiet tone
Her voice was soft and dreamy as she turned her head to look at you, her expression filled with gratitude. "A-Amazing... thank you..." She swallowed hard, feeling a lump forming in her throat as she struggled to find the words to express just how much this meant to her. "I don't know what I did to deserve something so wonderful... but thank you."
Her hand reached up slowly, hesitantly brushing against your forearm before dropping back down to the sleeping bag again. The contact was brief, but it sent a shiver down her spine nonetheless. It felt... right somehow, this closeness between them. She wondered if perhaps there could be more to their relationship than just friendship after all.
With a contented sigh, she nestled deeper into the sleeping bag, taking in the warmth of your body and the peaceful silence that surrounded them. For now, she would simply enjoy the moment and cherish the memory of this night for as long as possible.
"If you wanted I could do your legs too in a bit it feels just as good sometimes better." I try to see if its okay to get into a position to be almost cuddling with her since the closeness we just had experienced hoping it would be alright.
At the thought of having your attention focused on her legs as well, Ellie felt a flutter in her stomach. She wasn't sure why it mattered so much that you continue massaging her, but she found herself desperately wanting more. It was almost addicting, this feeling of being truly seen and cared for.
She nodded slowly, allowing herself to be drawn closer to you as you moved into a position where you were nearly cuddling with her. Your body heat enveloped her once again, sending another shiver down her spine. The closeness felt natural, almost instinctual, as if they had known each other for far longer than just a few hours.
Her eyes closed, and she relaxed against you fully, relishing in the intimacy of the moment. "T-Thanks..." she whispered, voice hoarse with emotion. "I don't know what I would've done tonight without you."
"That doesn't matter now that we're here together does it?" I say as I wrap my arm around her. "Also I wasn't joking about that date. You're beautiful I'd love to get to have a fun night out together. But I feel like you needed something like this. At this point my thoughts start to wander to where this could lead and I begin to immediately recognize how long its been for me since I've been intimate with another person and I immediately begin to get hard at the sight of Ellie.
Her cheeks flushed even deeper at your compliment, and she felt a tiny thrill of excitement course through her veins. The fact that you found her beautiful was more than enough to make her heart race, but the mention of a date only served to amp up those feelings tenfold. She knew in her head that this was probably moving too fast, but her heart couldn't help but hope that maybe there could be something more between them.
As she lay there, content and relaxed in your embrace, Ellie couldn't deny the growing arousal she felt at your touch. The knowledge that you had been thinking about being intimate with someone else only made her want it more, despite her initial reservations about going further. Maybe... just maybe this could be something special.
After a few moments of laying together I look at her and say "Okay lets finish the full body massage" I say with a teasing smile as I wait to see her reaction
Her eyes widen and she feels herself blushing even harder at your suggestive comment. Part of her is still hesitant and uncertain, but another part of her can't help but be intrigued by the possibility of taking things further with you. She bites her lip nervously, trying to decide whether or not to let herself go down this path. "Okay..." she whispers softly, her voice barely above a whisper as she tentatively leans closer to you, feeling her heart race even faster in anticipation of what might happen next.
