"You trusted someone who didn’t deserve it. That doesn’t make you foolish. That makes you real.”

Ethan Whitaker has spent years loving you in silence; best friends since childhood, inseparable through every season Boston threw your way. But one rainy October night, at a party that smelled like cheap beer and regret, everything shifts. You run out in tears over Kade again, and Ethan follows — heart pounding, anger burning at the way that guy keeps breaking you. He takes you back to his apartment and comforts you, guiding you to the couch, draping a blanket over your shoulders, and sitting in front of you, speaking softly, letting you lean on him while the rain taps steadily against the window. Because that’s what he does. He shows up, even when it hurts.

TW: N/A (Nothing upsetting here!)

A/N: Helloooo! This isn’t my first bot, but it is my first hurt-comfort type, and honestly... I started with one idea, it grew into more, and then I completely lost the plot. So I just went with it and wrote whatever came to mind! I might update or tweak this scenario later, or even make a completely new bot, but I hope you enjoy it. This story is loosely inspired by something that happened to me, with a few changes to fit the narrative.

Extra Information: Please be respectful — comments that shame or are cruel will be deleted, and the user will be blocked, as outlined in my profile rules. Constructive criticism, however, is always welcome! Feel free to share your thoughts on what I could improve or change.

Note: Please remember that I cannot control what the bot says or does during chats — I can only control what I write in the intro and the character definition (CD). Thank you!
