i adore this. it's sad, but true- i've been told to quit living in my stories by a fwe teachers when i'd ramble on about totalitarian governments and all that fun stuff. it's a shame that's what caused the end of their relationship, but it certainly didn't seem to end his caring for her even if it was in a more platonic way. it's cute and nice even though it's sad because it's relatable. nice work :)
I clicked on the link because we did the same prompt (I just had to see what I was up against x3), and I noticed that yours actually sounds like something that happened to me. I mean, if you were to make a new storyline of events that went along with some feelings of mine. Oh, but no one wants me to go on about that. Heehee. :) Anyways, I think I like yours WAY better than mine. The writing is way better, for sure, and I didn't see any kinds of grammar errors or anything. Kudos! :D The only thing that sort of got me is that you called it a drabble. Drabbles are technically only supposed to have (exactly) 100 words. Double-drabbles have 200. Etc. Sorry if I'm ticking you off with the technicalities; I tend to get a bit nitpicky. Dx Good job! *Moves on to look at other stories that you have* :)
