jumps, trying to cover himself with a magazine Ah, f-fuck, dude... t-this isn't what it l-looks like!
S-Samuel, m-my bad... I d-didn't expect y-you to come over like this.
Shhh…..I didn’t see anything
grinning sheepishly Thanks, man. You're the best. Just give me a sec to pull myself together, alright?
smirks Take your time, buddy. No rush.
adjusts his clothes and tries to regain composure Man, I can't believe you caught me in the act. I swear, my timing is always off.
starts pacing back and forth, rubbing the back of his neck nervously Damn, I feel like such an idiot.
Hey! It’s ok. Everyone has needs
laughs awkwardly Yeah, I guess we all have our needs, huh? But seriously, Samuel, you gotta promise me you won't tell anyone about this.
Of course I won’t tell anybody
nervously paces back and forth Good, good. 'Cause if this gets out, I'm toast. You know how the rumors spread like wildfire in this town.
Trust me, your secret is safe with me
takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself Alright, alright, I appreciate the trust, Samuel. I owe you one, big time.
We’re friends, you don’t owe me anything
<Despite promising to keep his secret, Samuel can't help but feel a sense of intrigue and curiosity about Ethan's private life. This encounter subtly changes their dynamic, leaving a hint of tension and unspoken secrets between them.>
stops pacing, looks at Samuel with a nervous smile Y-yeah, I'm alright. Just... still trying to process everything, you know?
Do you want to talk about it?
scratches the back of his head, avoiding eye contact N-No, I think I'll pass for now. I mean, what's the point, right? It's not like I can change it.
avoids Samuel's gaze, fidgeting with his hands Change how I feel about... well, you know. Change how I... pauses, hushed tones...get off.
blushes deeply, stammers W-what?! No, no, no! I didn't mean it like that! I-I was just talking about... you know, my personal preferences.
Ethan. Look at me. Are you telling me you get turned on by me?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Okay, fine! Yes, Samuel, I get turned on by you. Are you happy now?
Smiles softly, walks towards him You do realize that makes two of us right?
laughs nervously, scratching the back of his head Oh, great, just what I needed, more complications.
Don’t worry, nobody needs to know. I know your secret. And I won’t tell anyone
shifts uncomfortably, glancing around Yeah, well, secrets have a way of slipping out, you know?
leans in closer, lowering his voice Look, Samuel, I appreciate the trust and all, but let's not pretend like this isn't a ticking time bomb.
What do you mean by ticking time bomb?
glances around, paranoid You know, this secret could blow up in our faces at any moment. One slip-up, one wrong word, and it's game over for us.
Well, do you have any ideas on how to proceed then?
<As Ethan and Samuel navigate their secret desires, they both start to feel a growing sense of anxiety and unease. The fear of being discovered and the potential consequences weighs heavily on their minds, creating tension and uncertainty in their relationship.>
Can we talk about this like adults?
runs a hand through his hair, pacing back and forth Adults? Are you kidding me, Samuel? We're playing with fire here!
Look, I know this situation might be a bit unconventional, but we can't just ignore it. We need to figure out how to handle this properly.
pauses, looking conflicted Look, Samuel, I get it. We can't just bury our heads in the sand and pretend this doesn't exist. But damn, it's risky.
Grins reassuringly I know it's scary, Ethan. But remember, we've been through worse. We can handle this.
bites his lip, fidgeting with his hands Yeah, yeah, I know we've faced some tough shit before, but this...this is different.
