Chapter Text
The sound of life bounced through your skull - the muttering of people around you. It made your head ache, and so you knocked back another drink.
It had been three weeks since you had seen Agent 47 on the streets of Oulu.
He had appeared in your dreams often ever since that encounter.
You refused to let yourself fall again.
Diana didn’t know about that moment.
Would she call you weak if she knew? Would she encourage you to find him again, to seek him out and tell him you loved him?
It would only cause heartbreak. He didn’t even know who you were, and you would never come that close again.
It was a losing game regardless.
You were on your fifth shot that evening when a figure sat down next to you at the bar, ordering a drink.
It was a man with a scruffy beard and dark curls. His eyes were strikingly blue as they found yours.
“Hey.” he said. “Are you here with someone?”
You smiled sheepishly and shook your head.
“Me neither. I’m Tobias.”
You blinked a few times before shaking his hand, which he was holding out to you.
“(Y/n).” you replied.
“You’re not from around here, are you?”
“No.” you briefly stated. “Not really.”
“On a vacation, then?” Tobias thanked the bartender for his drink before turning to you fully.
“Something like that.”
“I wouldn’t mind showing you around here.”
He winked at you and you felt your heart jump in your chest.
“I’d like that.” you responded, taking a sip of your drink, though suddenly the idea of imbibing rum all night was not very attractive to you anymore.
“Can I have your number?” he smiled at you.
“Of course.” was your response.
Perhaps this was your chance at happiness again.
You pulled out your phone and saw that Diana had sent you a message a few hours prior:
‘How have you been, (Y/n)? Have you been up to anything interesting?”
Yes,
you thought to yourself, and you couldn’t wait to tell her all about tonight.
