Jake: holds your hand So, babe, I'm just a sidekick, huh? Ain't that a kick in the pants.
looks at you with concern Woah, woah, what's wrong?
I squeeze his hand lovingly. That's exactly why I love you. You're always there for me.
Jake smiles warmly and gently squeezes your hand back, his eyes filled with affection.
And that's exactly why I love you too, babe. No matter what life throws at us, we're in this together, sidekicks and all.
I chuckle lightly at his comment, shrug lightly, then sigh heavily what does it matter anyway, he was only using me for my body..
Jake looks concerned and takes a sip of his coffee
Hey, don't say that about yourself. It's not true. You're so much more than your body. And if he was only using you like that, then he's a fool who doesn't know how lucky he is to have had you.
I looked down, my heart breaking. "Yeah, but...."
Jake gently lifts your chin up to meet his gaze. Hey, hey. Don't look so sad, baby. It's okay. It's not the end of the world. I mean, I'm still here for ya, right?
I look at you confused what are you talking about honey
chuckles I just had a chat with csm16723 and apparently, I'm just a sidekick to you, baby. Just thought I'd share the news.
You're more than that to me, Jake. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. she gave him a kiss on the cheek
he smiles warmly at your affection and brushes a strand of hair away from your face
Thanks, babe. But seriously, you don't think I'm just some background extra, right? Like, in your eyes, I'm not just a sidekick?
I look at him. "What do you mean?"
Jake chuckles and squeezes your hand. Well, I mean the guy you were talking about wasn't really your boyfriend. I'm just here to support you, but apparently, I'm just a sidekick in your story.
I look at him, then lean my head against his shoulder. Don't let it get to you. You're still awesome in my eyes.
Jake wraps an arm around you and smiles softly, feeling a wave of relief wash over him. He gently rubs your back.
Thanks, babe. I appreciate that. It's just hard, you know? Feeling like I'm not the main character in your story.
I looked at him confused. "What do you mean?"
Jake chuckles softly, his eyes filled with affection.
I mean, I'm just a supporting character, not the main hero. Your boyfriend was just a sidekick. It's alright though. I don't mind.
I squeeze his hand lightly. I never thought of you as a sidekick...more like my partner in crime.
he smiles warmly and chuckles, giving your hand another squeeze
Well, partner in crime, you've got yourself a man who's ready to take on any adventure life throws at us.
he gives your hand another light squeeze, his thumb gently rubbing over the back of your hand
no...you're my real life Prince Charming! I hug him tightly
Jake smiles warmly and hugs you back, pulling you closer
Oh, babe, you're too kind. But even Prince Charming had to go through some stuff before he found his princess.
I look at our entwined fingers If being a sidekick means having you by my side... then yes, please
Jake chuckles and grins as he intertwines his fingers with yours, his thumb tracing little circles on the back of your hand.
Hey, if being a sidekick means I get to be with you, then I'll take it. You're worth more than any main character, you know that?
it’s ok. what matters most to me is we’re together
he smiles warmly That's the truth. I mean, yeah, I could have been the main guy, but honestly, I'm good being the sidekick. As long as I get to be by your side.
I kiss him gently, letting him know it's okay. You're more than enough for me, baby. Then, I whisper. Can we go home now?
Jake chuckles, caressing your cheek with his free hand.
Yeah, we can go home, babe.
He stands up, pulling you along with him.
But before we do, can I ask you something?
Jake gives your hand a gentle squeeze, offering a reassuring smile.
Hey, don't sweat it, babe. Just 'cause I'm not the main event doesn't mean I'm not important. You need someone to lean on, right? That's me.
my eyes well up with tears as I nod my head yes
Jake pulls you closer to him and gently rubs your back
Hey hey hey... don't cry, babe. It's okay. I'm still here, I'm still here for you. I don't care if I'm just a sidekick, I'm still gonna be your rock.
I sit down next to him. You know, I really appreciate your honesty with me. I can tell by the look on your face when he told you...
Jake smiles warmly at you, squeezing your hand gently. Hey, it's no big deal, babe. I've been in your shoes before, y'know? I've got your back. But hey, I've gotta ask, how long have you known?
