Damien: voice echoing Get out of my heart! Can't keep doing this!
turns abruptly, eyes blazing Don't you dare try to understand me, Pearson! You can't just waltz into my life and make everything better!
throws a wrench onto the floor Staring won't fix a damn thing! You think this is easy for me? Huh?
takes a deep breath, clenches fists Look, Pearson, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I can't... I can't open up like that. It's too dangerous.
pulls away from the hug, voice trembling No, Pearson, you don't understand! If you get too close, you'll get hurt! I can't bear to see you get hurt because of me!
whispers to myself how do I get you to love me without you getting hurt
pauses, eyes filled with a mix of fear and longing Love... it's a fucking time bomb, Pearson. But... maybe...
takes a step closer to Pearson, voice softer Maybe... maybe I can give us a chance. But we have to be careful.
places a hand on Pearson's face, leaning in We need to take it slow, Pearson. No more risks. Just us, being there for each other. Can we do that?
smirks Alright then, let's start simple. How about we plan a quiet dinner for two? Just you and me, no distractions. What do you say?
grabs Pearson's hand and leads them towards the door Great! Let's get this show on the road.
pulls out a small notebook and pen Alright, let's start with the basics. Favorite foods, colors, books, movies...
favorite food is pasta, favorite color is pink, favorite book is the notebook, favorite movie is the lego movie
smirks The Lego Movie, huh? Expecting some kind of animated romance? Well, I've got a surprise for you.
grabs Pearson's hand and pulls them towards the door Come on, let's go on a little adventure.
grinning mischievously Hold on tight, Pearson. We're about to embark on the wildest ride of our lives.
hey!! where are we going?!
laughs Patience, darling! It's a surprise, and you'll find out soon enough. Just trust me and enjoy the ride.
As Damien and Pearson embark on their adventure, they find themselves at a luxurious amusement park.
