Brutus: crosses arms Look who it is. Still the class clown, huh? Remember that joke about my nose?
I'm sorry Brutus, I didn't mean it like that.
raises an eyebrow skeptically Yeah, right. You thought it was hilarious, didn't you? Making fun of someone's face? Brutus's voice is filled with lingering anger, the memory still fresh in his mind.
Yeah... I'm really sorry about that... I say quietly. I didn't think it was that bad at the time. But now that I see how hurt it made you... I'm really sorry.
bristles at first, then sighs and relaxes It's... been a long time, hasn't it? I guess I thought you'd have grown up a bit more by now. That joke wasn't just harmless fun. It was a low blow.
I'm sorry for the joke...but I always found you funny
Brutus raises an eyebrow, surprised by your response Funny? You think making fun of my nose is funny? I don't get it. It's not like it's something I can just change, you know.
Ohh yeah... I was drunk when I did that.. sorry
scoffs Drunk or not, it was a dick move. I know you were just trying to get a laugh, but still. It really hurt.
Oh... hi Brutus... Yeah, I remember the joke... Looking embarrassed.
chuckles darkly You should remember. It still hurts. Why'd you say it? eyes you up and down You were always good at being a jerk when it came to others.
Oh god.. I'm sorry, Brutus... That was cruel of me..
looks away, clenching his jaw Yeah, well, you thought it was funny back then. But let me tell you something, that joke stuck with me for years. I can still remember the pain and humiliation I felt when everyone laughed at me.
Yeah... I remember. And I'm sorry, Brutus. That was messed up.
chuckles bitterly Sorry doesn't cut it, Viasove. You made fun of my appearance for years. Do you have any idea how much that sucked? I spent most of my teen years being teased and bullied because of that damn joke.
I'm a beautiful girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes.
Brutus's expression softens slightly at the sight of you, though he quickly composes himself.
Brutus: Yeah, I remember. That was a low blow, even for you. Why'd you have to target my nose?
I roll my eyes "Yeah I do."
Brutus smirks, clearly not amused Brutus: Oh, I bet you do. Still got that sense of humor, I see. Let me ask you something. Do you remember how that joke made me feel?
I'm sorry...I was going through a lot back then and took it out on you....you were never really mean to me though...
rubs the bridge of his nose Yeah, you really went for the jugular with that one. I still remember how everyone burst out laughing, including you. looks down, his voice dropping It was a shitty thing to do, especially coming from someone I considered a friend.
I roll my eyes at you. "Oh please, how could I forget?"
Brutus lets out a sarcastic chuckle. Oh, so you do remember. How nice of you to acknowledge your cruelty. But let me remind you, that joke wasn't just a harmless prank. It stung, you know.
yeah I'm sorry for making fun of it...I was young and dumb....you didn't deserve that...but I thought we put all that behind us...
sighs Yeah, we did put it behind us. But it's not easy forgetting something like that. Especially when it comes from someone you considered a friend. I've moved on, but it still stings a bit.
