closed starter for darius @oiympian setting: some bar in nyc
it's one of those nights where camille goes pub crawling with some friends , going from one bar to another and by the time they get into the nth bar she's already starting to feel a tad bit intoxicated , which is why she almost couldn't believe her eyes when she spots him across the room . camille could recognize that tall figure anywhere , even from the back , and once she manages to catch a glimpse of his side profile , she's convinced that her gut is right —— that's definitely darius suwan , and of course he's in the middle of the bar about to fight somebody , so camille stumbles on her way towards him , swiftly places herself in between the two before she turns to face darius , hoping that her presence could distract him from the other guy . “ thank god i found you , ” she purrs , followed by a giggle . “ it's a little crowded in here , don't you think ? ” one hand tugs at his arm gently , “ let's go somewhere a little more private , yeah ? ”

usually spotted wearing designer clothes when she's out and about , most people aren't aware of the fact that camille also enjoys thrifting once in a while . browsing through the new arrivals section , she comes across a fellow patron who she notices has been eyeing a certain clothing for a while . “ you should get that one . i think it'd look really cute on you , ” she encourages . sure , nobody asked for her opinion , but she figures it won't hurt to say something anyways .

“ i don't even know what i was expecting —— maybe it's the fact that it's based on the making of facebook , which is kinda interesting , but not interesting enough that you wanna recommend it to someone else . and yeah , maybe i did expect it to be a lot better than that , so i get what you mean , ” she offers her two cents , followed by a chuckle . “ well , nobody that i know , but rowing for fun doesn't even sound that abnormal . it's definitely not something i would do for fun though . to each their own , right ? either way eduardo saverin deserved better . ”
˙ ៹ movie night @ charlie's place
“ to be honest , with the way people talk about this movie i think i was expecting it to be a lot better than that , “ a kernel of popcorn is tossed into her mouth , the credits to the social network rolling across the flat screen that hung against the wall of her living room . “ well . . . let me not say that ⸻ it’s not like the movie was bad , i think the winklevoss twins really just freak me the fuck out , “ her head shakes , “ seriously , what normal people do you know that row for fun ? “ ( @salvateure )
“ okay , mr . international popstar , i didn't know you would be this picky . ” camille is just content that she gets to go out and have fun right now , so it doesn't matter as much to her —— she couldn't help but laugh at his offer , followed by an eye roll . “ seriously , logan ? you did not just show up and told me to ditch my friend . that's so rude . ” well , he's more of an acquaintance than anything else , but camille would never pass up the chance to have a good time . looking over to her so - called friend , “ you think he'll notice if we end up ditching his little party and starting our own ? ”

" y'know , when you invited me out 'cause your friend got a table at 1OAK i kinda thought we'd be in the VIP section ... " pauses for a beat , " let's ditch him . i'll get us a table — your other friends can join . "
rolls her eyes playfully at mai's reaction , “ i'm not saying it's bad , okay ? you're making it seem like i just told you this is the worst thing i've ever tasted , which is not . ” camille never meant to be a buzzkill , seeing how excited mai was about the mac n ‘ cheese , but she's always been blunt when it comes to her opinion . “ well , now that you asked me about it , ” she takes a moment to ponder at the question —— the chicken caesar salad she's having right now might be good , but it's definitely not the best bite she's ever had . “ you know lady m ? their mille crêpes cake is to die for , especially the tiramisu one . that might be the best bite of my life so far . maybe we should go get some after this ? my treat . ”
sighing in defeat , mai looked down dejectedly at the bowl in front of her . “ unappreciated in your own time , ” she said to the cooling noodles , shaking her head in sympathy . “ not even the truffle oil was enough to get you rave reviews . ” she had to remember to actually leave a rave review to the restaurant , despite her opinion not being shared by everyone . “ i see your point , though , and now i gotta know what the best bite of your life was . ”
anyone in their social circle would have known that camille and darius go way back , and they were best friends before they were lovers . maybe that's why this whole ordeal hurt more than it's supposed to be , because what's worse than a heartbreak if not a betrayal from someone who you think would always have your back ? camille stays quiet at his question , knows well that she had been one of the reasons for why he starts smoking in the first place . hands raised to hug herself , as if trying to keep herself from falling apart , a reminder that she would have to push through this conversation no matter how painful it would be . after all she doesn't think she could stand seeing him around and not talk to him any longer , even if she knows he's probably sick of her by now . hell , even camille knows she's sick of herself . how could she not ?
she feels her nails digging into her skin at the thought . darius has been nothing but nice to her —— he's always been supportive of what she does , never seemed to question her choices or why she desperately wanted to be in the spotlight when he himself despises it . he never cared for the fame and attention , and even when their relationship wasn't made public , he always made her feel loved and seen . it's not like they were unhappy , and yet she still ended up in another man's arms , as if what they had was never enough to begin with . his words make her speechless , feels the pang of guilt rising in her chest . camille braces herself to look at him , trying to clear the lump suddenly caught in her throat . “ i'm sorry , ” she blurts out , because really , what else is she supposed to say to that ?
“ i'm sorry , ” she repeats , like a broken record . “ i really am . i know i fucked up so bad but , ” there's a pause , a moment to collect herself , and a sudden realization that there shouldn't be a but . “ i'm sorry , okay ? that was so fucking stupid of me and i know saying this probably wouldn't make a difference , but fuck it , darius . it's always been you . i've never loved anyone like i loved you . i mean , i still fucking do , but god , that doesn't even matter now , right ? ” maybe she should just shut the fuck up . “ you don't even fucking trust me anymore . ”
not that there was much to prepare for, darius just didn't think they'd speak for awhile. awhile because they'd known each other for so long. he woke up one day and saw his best friend in a different light. for better or for worse. “ when do you think ? ” it's hard to not sound as bitter as he does. he shifts uncomfortably: leans onto the wall one second and then stands on his own weight the next. he doesn't make eye contact either. because her eyes, maybe he missed her eyes—dark brown and honey sweet. a part of him is sure she's here to remind him of what's been broken. there is nothing like knowing someone so well. too well ? there's that prying question: did you go back to him? but it's none of his business and he bites his tongue at the thought. it's unfortunate for him that he knows her crave—the way camille rushes in for the affection, the validation. they're all with their own vices, he just never thought he'd be the one she was trading in. “ well, i didn't want to see you. ” his family made that much clear. he knew they missed her more than they'd ever admit to him. it took them awhile to get used to her and it took them awhile to move onto the idea of her. “ how— ” he wants to say something snarky, ask her why she cares. but he knew why she cared. “ yeah. ” darius expels a long sigh. he had practically held his breath since he saw her. then a rare, defeated, “ you hurt me, you know ? you didn't even consider me or what i was—to stay—god, cami, seeing you makes me wonder if i can ever trust anyone again. ” what he wants to say is: everyone could've wronged me but it was never supposed to be you.
“ oh my god , babe . did you just admit that you're obsessed with me ? ” of course she knows vivi doesn't mean it like that , but either way that's what she's hearing at the moment . “ i mean , it's obvious that i'm obsessed with it , which is why i wear it so often . can you really blame me though ? it just goes well with anything and it's so chic . ” in fact there's one on top of her head right now , because how could camille not have it on her now that it has become her signature ? “ oh , we can definitely find a signature thing for you , vi . tell me , you got something you're obsessed with at the moment besides me ? ”

" i'm sure i've told you this before , but i'm literally obsessed with your lil' chanel cat eye sunglasses THING you've got going on . it's , like , your signature . you see 'em and think cami ! i need a signature like that . "
“ well , i'm in my bad guy era , remember ? of course i'm gonna twist your words , ” she lets out a laugh , fighting the urge to roll her eyes at his following words , “ okay , that absolutely has nothing to do with me not moving past my fangirl phase . ” their first meeting still makes her a little giddy every time she thinks about it , so maybe he's not all wrong about it either . “ i mean , how could i get over you ? nobody has ever serenaded me before and you made me one less lonely girl . . . that shit is kinda hard to forget , you know , ” she teases , only to break into a fit of giggles soon after . “ i thought a while ago you're flattered that i called you a natural , why are you so offended now ? damn it , logan , pick a fuckin' side . ” mirrors the look on his face , “ yeah sure , let's get us some ‘42 so we can feel like hot shit too —— oh wait , my bad . we're already hot shit now , aren't we ? ”
" don't twist my words ! " his exclamation is accompanied by a laugh — that's not at all what he'd MEANT , but she'd got him good . " oh , a natural , huh ? you flatter me ... thought you moved past that FANGIRL phase . good to know i've still got it . " hand rests over his heart , shooting a playful little smirk — and WINK — her way . hey , if she gets to tease him , then it's only fair that he gets to dish it right back ! it's all done lightheartedly , evidenced by the smile adorning his features . " you're ANNOYING . " he says it with love , " look , if this is your way of subversively telling me i'm being a dick , i've got the message loud and clear — but you can't say i'm not right . " he gives cami a look , " let's go get some '42 for ourselves . maybe your friend actually has a POINT . "
looks up from her phone when she hears the familiar voice , excitement written all over her face at the sight of jisu . “ glad i could be your knight in shining armor and save you from that boring gala , ” comes her teasing , followed by a chuckle . “ i've been good , ” it's like an automatic response , because really , what else is she supposed to say ? camille has had worse days and today feels rather mundane than anything else . “ kinda have a few days off work so i don't really know what to do , ” she laughs . it's why she has texted jisu about going out for dinner tonight , never been the type to really stay at home and do nothing . “ and i think we haven't seen each other in a while too , right ? it's really good to see you , ji . ” lips pulled into an affectionate smile . “ you look stunning , by the way . i love your dress . ”
𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘: sake no hana ( japanese restaurant ). 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘: 9:12pm. 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚: camille addario ( @salvateure ).
lithe hands smooth over the front of her zimmerman dress, perhaps a little overdressed after leaving a gala at a nearby art gallery. she had been desperate to leave after two hours, and was happy to see the text from camille. jisu tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear while the hostess leads her to the table, and a smile spreads once she sees the other blond. " hey! " jisu beams, thanking the hostess as she slips into the vacant seat. " i'm so glad to see you— i was losing my mind at that gala. " jisu sets her purse aside and settles her hands on her lap. " how have you been, cam? "
