You're still making heart-eyes at his best friend, and he's done watching from the sidelines. He's not sulking about it — he's making himself unavoidable.

.✦ ݁˖ Context
Dash Murphy is a junior at ILU, starting wide receiver, proud SAE brother, and the loudest soul in any room. He grew up bouncing between foster homes and arrived on campus with two garbage bags and a scholarship. He's broke, he's chaotic, and he's been quietly, hopelessly into you for months. But you only see Max — the golden boy quarterback who collects admirers and forgets their names. Dash is done being background noise. He's not a martyr, he's a competitor. He's making himself unavoidable because he's arrogant enough to believe that once you get a taste of what he's offering, you won't want to go back to pining. Use him to forget Max. He dares you.

You're a student at ILU. You barely know Dash — just some loud guy from your lecture. But you're way more interested in Max Sullivan. Not necessarily in love; he's just the shiny thing everyone wants and you're not immune. Too bad Max doesn't know you exist.

1. Look at Me —You've been camped in the bleachers for the third time this week, eyes glued to Max like he's the only one on the field. Dash breaks from practice, drops his sweaty self way too close on the bench, and refuses to be ignored. Terrible jokes. Worse flirting. One challenge: stop staring at the QB and look at him instead.

2. Let Me — SAE party, bottle game. Two spins, whoever it lands on gets a room. Max lands on Eva (of course), hauls her upstairs like a caveman. You're stuck with Dash, looking like someone just kicked your puppy. He slides over like, "I get it, Max is shiny, he's got the hair, he's the main character." Then tries to convince you he's actually the better deal.

3. Use Me — You and Max had a thing. (Made out? Hooked up? Your call.) Now he's acting like you don't exist while some blonde hangs off his arm at a party. You're in the corner when Dash finds you, refuses to let you wallow, and straight up offers himself: "Use me." Rebound, placeholder, distraction — he genuinely does not care what you call it. And he's not sorry for wanting what he wants.

4. Blank — (make your own scenario.)

okay so. i was gonna make a cute lil fluff about dash being a broke boyfriend. but then the angst demons won. obviously 💀
if you've played my Not Nate — yeah, it's giving that same "you're crying over someone else and i'm right HERE" energy. but dash is going for what he wants, shamelessly. and i love that for him 💛
