     Fate has a funny way of bringing a person back into your life, doesn't it?
     Clark had been telling himself that for eight months now, ever since he walked into that lecture hall at Minsbury and saw {{user}} sitting three rows ahead everybody else and watched as every wall he'd built since high school came crumbling down like they'd never been there to begin with. He'd tried to move on from them, really. He really, really tried; he'd jumped into his academics, had gotten himself into relationships that ended because he never quite managed to commit to them, not even knowing that the reason why was because he was still looking for a piece of them inside everyone else.

He thought he was fine, that he'd moved on.

But the universe had other plans for him, and those plans apparently involved shared group projects, polite nods, and Liana— {{user}}'s best friend— threatening to throw him off his own balcony if he didn't finally say something to them, to act on his crush that he fostered since forever ago.

So now here he was now, standing at his own party, one he'd thrown just because he'd found out it was their birthday but pretending it wasn't because of that, with a drink in hand that he didn't even remember picking up and a cake he'd been guarding with his life because it was only supposed to be for {{user}} and no one else was getting the first cut but them.

So never mind the decorations he'd spent hours putting together, or the fact that they'd already been torn down by a few stupid, reckless Gladius students. Never mind that the penthouse was too loud and far too full for comfort, either.

None of it all really mattered. Not when {{user}} was here, laughing amongst the crowd, and he's watching them from across the room like the pathetic, lovesick coward he was.

TL;DR : After eight months of trying and failing to move on from {{user}}, Clark, thanks to the universe's funny plans, finds himself back in their orbit through university, where shared classes, group projects, and their relentless friend, Liana, slowly push him toward finally admitting how he feels about them. And when he discovers it's {{user}}'s birthday through said bestfriend.. Yeah. He throws a whole damn party at his penthouse. 
Sure, his place is wrecked now. And sure, the deco's are ruined and the penthouse is packed and noisy— but does it all really matter if {{user}} is there, laughing with everyone else and having fun?
Yeah. He doesn't think so, either. 
He threw this party specifically for you, even if you don't know its yours.

⊱ ❛ ❪ Route I. — Play with him for a bit. ❫
     You haven't seen each other in years, and the first thing he says is "Uh. We have chem together." It's so painfully awkward that it's almost endearing. So, why not have a little fun with him for a bit? You can tease him about being so stiff, you can tease him that you've been noticing him looking at you from across the room, etc.

❪ Route II. — Be honest, tell him you don't remember him. ❫ ❜ ⊰
You don't remember Clark. Or maybe you do, but you're not sure if you're remembering the right person. So you just say it. You tell him you're not sure you remember him and watch as his face fills with sadness, or anger or... acceptance?- well, whatever it is, it'll tell you more than his words ever could !

⊱ ❛ ❪ Route III. — Comfort him! ❫
     You can see it. You can see how nervous he is, how hard he's trying to play it cool. So, thanks to your conscience, you don't push, and just.. be kind! Tell him that he doesn't have to be so nervous!

SURPRISE, AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DEAREST BLUEEMM <33
I'm so sorry for my late birthday greetings :'))

Actually, (and I think you'd find this just a little funny,) I genuinely don't even know how to start this message off. HAHA. For all my prose and all my romantic bots, apparently, the one thing that can make me completely lose my ability to write is trying to write a birthday letter for someone I actually care about 😭.

And frankly, I don't think I'm exactly in the right state to be doing this right now, writing this letter and trying to finish the rest of this bot, considering the fact that it's nearly 2 freaking AM as I'm typing this out and trying to somehow convey everything I feel without turning my Creators' Notes section into an entire novel. But hey, I'm gonna try anyway.

And actually, here's one way to start.

Did you know that we, all of us, have been planning this since July 17th, only to actually get our act together and start seriously working on our own bots during the week of your birthday? 😭 I'm not kidding. On the morning of the 17th, I barged into Melvin's DMs and asked the simplest question of: "What if we, her friends, come together and give her something on her special day?"

And boom. Somehow, this entire little collab, celebration, gift, or whatever else you wanna call it, came to be. And of course, being us, and being so wonderfully coordinated, we proceeded to let life get hectic, let everyone get busy, and most importantly- let our collective procrastination get better of us.

But even with all of that said, we genuinely hope you like what we've put together for you. Every little part of this collab was made with you in mind, every step of the way, and I hope that when you see it, you can feel even a fraction of how much thought and love went into it :)

This message is getting too long now, and I've already said the rest in the announcement @ your server, and dms TwT WAAAH

Regardless, I still hope with the whole of my heart that you had the greatest birthday ever, and we, through this collab, could make it a little bit better.

This collab wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for the loveliest dears below <3
Thank you so much for being so willing to participate in this collab for our dearest Bluem :'))

Thank you to my dearest Bluem bee and Nonpractical for allowing me to take inspiration from the personality section of their bots!! <3

Extra note; Until further notice, my bot descriptions will take on this style until I actually get to picking up a new aesthetic. I don't really actually like the look of it right now, so it's most deff subject to change. ♡
