racing away from the apartment and from kiyoshi, she jumped into the subway. when she finally got home, she was a mess, wiping at her tears as she smeared off her mascara. the alcohol was slowly fading from her system, leaving her alone with the full weight of the wreckage she’d just caused.

#sims4

she slipped out of the living room and into the cold night, leaving him standing by the window, the music loud again, eyes fixed on the spot she’d been, trying to make sense of what had just happened, and where it had all gone off course.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

she was already stepping away, the truth she couldn't say lodged in her throat. she was too broken, too scared and scarred. she was not ready to lose someone again. when he reached for her hand, she hesitated just long enough for him to brush her fingers. then he let go, unwilling to stop her.

she pressed her palm to his chest to keep the distance, eyes fixed on the floor. he searched her face, clearly unconvinced, about to argue. but this time, she was the one to cut him off.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

and then reality crashed in. she stiffened, breath catching, hands dropping to her sides again. kiyoshi felt it instantly and pulled back, concern flashing across his face.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

once again he didn't wait for her answer. instead he leaned in, still slow, giving her time to pull away. when his lips met hers, the world softened around the edges. she froze first, then melted into it, hands finding his jacket, the kiss warm and careful and everything she hadn’t let herself want.

something in his expression shifted. he reached out, fingers closing gently but firmly around her arm, pulling just close enough that she could feel his breath. her heart slammed against her ribs.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

they stared at each other for a beat. music swelled behind them. kiyoshi pushed himself off the window and turned to face her, gesturing toward the living room. she tilted her head slightly in response, tipsy and bold in a way she usually wasn’t.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

she chuckled despite herself. then, they both burst out laughing, breathless, the honesty catching them off guard. the tension eased, just enough.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

but it didn’t last. she blinked, surprised. it felt like they couldn’t talk anymore without something deeper seeping through, as if their feelings were spilling out despite themselves, impossible to keep contained.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

instead, he leaned beside her, shoulder brushing hers, back against the window. he smiled, easy and soft. how he could consistently remain so effortlessly nonchalant never ceased to impress her. they slipped back into their usual confortable, playful banter. familiar and easy.

#sims4 #sims4stories

she exhaled, trying and failing to summon a smile. instead, her gaze dropped to the floor, as if she were trying to hide from her own confession. his last comment snapped her eyes back to his, but he didn’t give her time to react.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

but kiyoshi quickly noticed. he excused himself from his friends and crossed the room, lifting a hand in a small, almost shy wave until she looked over.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

back in that arts quarter apartment, scarlett had drifted toward the window, her back pressed to the cold glass. the city glowed below, fireworks fading into smoke. the room before her buzzed with music and voices, but she felt oddly removed from it all.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

like father, like son. caught in the heat of the moment, he pulled her with him toward a dim storage closet tucked beside the bathrooms. somewhere between the bass through the walls and the click of the lock behind them, casey decided that this addictive rush was enough to call the night a success.

and... it worked. soon enough, his hands were back at her hips, their bodies pressed together, the music loud, and the rhythm doing the rest.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

casey wasn’t missing out on the new year festivities either. at his own celebration with other SMU students, he crossed paths with myla again, still annoyed she’d caught him kissing other girls after ghosting her. but he was ready to charm his way back into her good graces with a smooth apology.

as they wished each other a happy new year, kiyoshi’s arms found scarlett without hesitation, warm and sure. she held onto him a moment longer than necessary, breathing him in, savoring the closeness of the embrace.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

...right as the clock struck midnight. on the other side of town, the countdown ended in a rush of noise and laughter, glasses clinking, people cheering.

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

a wave of relief washed over her, and butterflies fluttered in her stomach. they drifted to a quiet corner, and madison leaned in to close the distance for her first kiss ever...

#struckbylove #sims4 #sims4stories

the two girls began to spin together on the auditorium’s improvised dance floor. the room throbbed with music and teenage laughter, and madison had to push herself and speak loud enough for abby to hear her as she finally confessed her crush.
