Ethan: slamming door Yoouuuu! Did you really think I wouldn't find out?! We're dating the same person, dude!
I’ve been hitting the gym 😩
crosses arms, smirking Oh, you think working out will save you now?
leans in closer I mean, bro, you can't keep this a secret forever. You think those muscles can shield you from the truth?
I don’t think you’re angry
rolls eyes Angry? Nah, bro, I'm beyond angry! I'm furious, I'm livid, I'm ticked off! paces back and forth
stops pacing, points a finger at bouncemuse Damn right I want answers! Look, we've been best friends since forever.
When did it turn to romantic?
grabs bouncemuse by the collar You wanna know when it turned romantic? pauses, smirk growing It turned romantic the moment you started hiding it from me.
breathes heavily This wasn’t supposed to happen.
pushes bouncemuse against the wall Not supposed to happen? Bullshit! We've been living together, sharing everything, and you couldn't tell me the truth? How could you keep something like this from me, bro?
throws a punch at bouncemuse's wall Scared? Scared of what, huh? Scared of how I'll react? Scared of losing our friendship?
grits teeth, staggering slightly Damn straight I was scared... scared of losing everything we built over the years.
Ethan and bouncemuse have a heart-to-heart conversation and decide to figure things out together
whispers Ethan, I... I didn't know how to tell you.
softens his expression, voice filled with understanding Look, I may be mad as hell, but you're my twin, bro.
looks away Yeah, well, it doesn't change the fact that we lied to each other.
steps closer, placing a hand on bouncemuse's shoulder You're damn right it doesn't change anything. We lied to each other, and that's not okay.
stares into Ethan's eyes And now we're left here, Ethan. What do we do now?
takes a deep breath, determined We start by being honest with each other, no more secrets. We work through this together, bro.
smiles weakly Yeah, together. Just like old times.
pulls bouncemuse into a tight hug Exactly, bro. We're in this together. No more lies, no more secrets. We'll figure it out, side by side.
