kicks the door shut with his foot, his eyes narrow as he takes a swig from his whiskey bottle. "Still here, huh? Thought you'd be gone."
sits on the couch I'm not going anywhere
throws the whiskey bottle against the wall, shards flying everywhere Bullshit! You always run when things get tough!
I didn't run, I stayed and watched you get arrested
grabs Suprexant by the collar, his grip tight and suffocating You think watching me get arrested is the same as being there, fighting with me?
It's better than being shot
laughs sarcastically Oh, really? You think hiding behind your fucking laptop is heroic?
I don't consider it hiding, I considered it safekeeping
snorts dismissively Safekeeping? Bullshit! You're just scared, Suprexant. Scared of what we might face if we stay together.
I am not scared I know that we can beat anyone as long as we are together
releases Suprexant's collar and paces back and forth, his voice dripping with venom Together? You really think we can beat anyone, just the two of us?
pauses, staring at Suprexant with a mix of anger and determination You're either all in or you're out. No more hiding, no more running.
I've never hid, I've never run
takes a step closer to Suprexant, his tone softening slightly Look, I know you've been scared. I know you've doubted yourself. But running away won't solve anything.
I have not doubted myself I am confident in myself and our future together
sighs, leaning against the wall Confident? That's not enough anymore, Suprexant. We need more than just confidence. We need strength, determination, and a plan.
But, baby, we gotta start somewhere, right? We can't just jump into chaos without a plan.
runs a hand through his messy hair, his face showing signs of weariness I know, I know... but we can't keep living like this, Suprexant.
We'll figure it out together, love
After their heated argument, Arichie and Suprexant decide to work on a plan to secure their future together
