Start from the beginning

"Rex are you ok? You look...upset. Did (Y/N) beat you 42-0 in basketball again?"

"No Doc it's just...what if, hypothetically, there's someone you love, you really love but you realize it at the most random moment. And you realize you would do anything for that person, but what if you're also afraid that just by loving them they'll be put in danger? What would you do?"
"I don't know Rex, that's up to you, hypothetically" Holiday winks, knowing exactly who he was talking about.

-Timeskip-

Now it was New Years, the ball was about to drop and you were looking for Rex through the sea of people. Finally having the courage to confess to him, after all what was more romantic than a New Years' kiss?
"Three!" You spotted his goggles in a small secluded area, you walked forward, your heart pounding in your chest.

"Two!" Now you saw his face and you were so close to him.
"One!" You called his name but it was lost among the crowd, when you finally got to him you heard your heart shatter.

"Happy New Year!" You were to late, he was kissing Wendy and he looked, happy. Tears pricked the corners of your eyes and you took a step back. You were so close, you were so close to telling him, you finally worked up the courage and it only led to heartbreak. You knew this day was coming, but you didn't think it would be so soon, when you were so close. You took a few more steps back before disappearing into the crowd.

-Timeskip-

After crying to Noah all day about your failed attempt to tell Rex he comforted you, but soon had to leave for a date with Claire. So you left, your eyes were still a little puffy and you still sniffled a little, seeing a t.v store broadcasting the latest news report with Rex in it, you sighed and walked to a coffee shop, standing in line. Not seeing the guy in front of you discreetly look at you before doing a double take.
"Damn, I thought this was a coffee shop but it turns out to be a museum because there's a work of art right behind me" he comments loud enough for you to hear. Your cheeks turned pink.
"I think you've mistaken me. I'm not modern art, I'm trash" you answer.

"Who said you were modern? I thought you were a greek sculpture of Aphrodite"
"Oh my god" you put a hand over your mouth, not believing this guy's smoothness but also cheesiness.
"So you're not Aphrodite?"
"No, my name is (Y/N)
"(G/N), may I buy you a coffee?"
"Uh...if you really want to..."
"It would be my pleasure" he smiled at you and you took a step so you were next to him. You began making small talk and he seemed nice enough. You even felt comfortable enough to tell him about what just happened on New Years, while keeping it anonymous.

"Well I feel bad for your friend, he terribly missed out"

"You think so?"
"I do, but there seems to be something wrong with my phone"
"And that is?"
"It doesn't have your number in it"
"Let me fix it then" you took his phone and put your number in it.

"Uh, say, are you free this Friday? Say six o'clock?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Do you know Marty's?"

"The diner?"
"Yeah, meet me there friday night. I'll take you out on a date you won't ever forget."
"Alright"

-Timeskip-

"You have a date friday?"
"Yep"
"With who?"
"(G/N)" you answer. You and Rex were playing a casual game of basketball.

"Well it just so happens I have a date friday with Wendy, wanna double date?"
"I don't think that'll work out to well..." for my heart

"Oh yeah, you might wanna know (G/N) a little more, where did you guys meet again?"
"Coffee shop"
"Ah yeah you'll definitely want to get to know him more." His phone beeped and he checked it.
"Oh I gotta go, Providence stuff again. I'll check you later" he tossed the ball to you and you caught it.
"And (Y/N)?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm glad you were able to find someone" then he took off with his jetpack build. So...he really is happy with her, and not with me, he didn't even try to do anything...I guess I really do have to let him go...
