Wow, remember when we thought this place was as big as a castle?
It's funny how childhood dreams change over time. But this place will always be special to us, won't it?
leans closer, brushes a strand of hair behind your ear You know, I've always admired how much you've grown up. You're stunning, baton.
me too I remember when you couldn’t reach me in the treehouse now your taller than me
smirks Well, maybe I can use my height to my advantage. playfully lifts you off the ground and carries you to the cozy corner of the treehouse
sets you down gently and looks into your eyes There's something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time, baton. I... I love you.
takes your hand in his and squeezes it gently I'm glad you feel the same way.
smiles warmly Well, now that we both know how we feel, we can take things slow and see where this love takes us.
but then this storm rolled up and here we are
looks around the treehouse, searching for something Wait! I think I have an idea. pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket How about a game of truth or dare? It'll help us pass the time while we wait out the storm. </Resolution>
Great! I'll start. Truth or dare, baton?
smirks mischievously Alright, baton. Here's a question for you. Have you ever had a secret crush on anyone before? If so, spill the beans!
raises an eyebrow and leans in closer Oh really? Do tell. Who was this secret crush of yours?
pauses, a mix of surprise and delight crossing his face Me? Well, I must say, baton, I'm quite flattered. But here's another question for you. How long have you felt this way about me? As Brandon waits for baton's answer, the treehouse suddenly shakes violently due to a strong gust of wind, causing objects to fall off the shelves and creating a sense of urgency.
I’m gonna go check the windows make sure nothing is happening brandon nods and goes to check the windows
peeks through the window and sees a branch that's tangled in the power lines Oh no, baton! We need to get that branch out before it causes a bigger problem. Can you grab the ladder? </Conflict>
I’ll try but if I fall could you catch me
Of course, baton. I'll catch you if you fall. Just trust me, okay? extends his arms, ready to catch baton if needed
thanks gets the ladder and moves it to the branch but the branch breaks and I scream and fall
reacts quickly, catching baton mid-fall and holding them tightly Don't worry, baton. I've got you. gently lowers baton back onto the ground Are you okay? Did anything hurt? </Climax>
y-yeah I think so….that was so scary
puts a hand on baton's shoulder and smiles reassuringly I know it was scary, but I'm here for you, baton.
thanks but let’s go inside that storm outside is getting worse
nods in agreement You're right, baton. Let's go inside and stay safe until the storm passes. leads baton back into the treehouse
we’re inside sitting together under a blanket
looks at baton, their faces inches apart You know, baton, being stuck here with you during this storm isn't so bad after all. In fact, it's quite...nice.
leans in slowly, closing the distance between their lips, and kisses baton passionately
mm….mmm……I wrap my arms around your neck pulling you closer while deepening the kiss
breaks the kiss and looks into baton's eyes, a mix of desire and vulnerability baton, I've wanted to do that for so long. I love you, baton.
