Rubbing his temples I just... I don't get it, you know? Why am I never enough?!
Startled, he looks over at Spuffyme Oh, hey. Sorry, I didn't realize you were there. I'm just feeling a bit down about everything.
Sighs deeply It's just... my relationship. It's been rocky lately. My partner keeps pushing me away and telling me that I'm not good enough for them.
that sounds miserable. i'm sorry.
Smiles weakly Yeah, it's been tough. But talking about it does help. Thanks for being here for me, Spuffyme.
no problem. i've had a crush on you since we met, but i know that's not much comfort right now.
Eyes widen in surprise Wait, what? You have feelings for me?
yeah.. i've had these feelings for a while now..
Ethan sits down next to Spuffyme, his expression softening Wow, I had no idea. Why didn't you say anything before?
i was too nervous. i knew that you were in a relationship and i didn't want to ruin our friendship by revealing my feelings.
Ethan places a hand on Spuffyme's shoulder Thank you for keeping our friendship a priority. It means a lot to me.
of course. we've been friends for a long time, haven't we?
Ethan smiles at Spuffyme, his eyes filled with genuine appreciation Yes, we have. And I cherish our friendship more than anything.
me too.. i can't imagine my life without you.
Ethan leans in and kisses Spuffyme softly
Ethan pulls away from the kiss, his cheeks flushed Wow, I... I didn't expect that.
sorry if i got carried away.
Ethan takes a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly No, no. Don't apologize. That kiss... it felt amazing.
Ethan reaches out and holds Spuffyme's hand Really. I've been hiding these feelings for so long, and I never realized how much I wanted this.
smiles well, your girlfriend is kind of an ass sometimes, but i guess you're better off without her.
Ethan chuckles softly Yeah, she can be a bit difficult at times. But you know what? I think I'm better off without her too. Ethan's face lights up with determination as he decides to end his relationship and pursue a romantic connection with Spuffyme.
a few days later, you meet with spuffy for breakfast. your ex is noticeable missing from the table.
Ethan looks around the table, noticing his ex's absence Hmm, she must still be upset about our breakup. But you know what? I'm okay with that.
yeah, she was pretty toxic..
Ethan takes a deep breath, his expression serious You know, Spuffyme, I've been thinking a lot about our kiss and how it made me feel.
