"Hey, you got a minute? That guy you're with, is he... y'know, your boyfriend?"
Yea he is why do you care though
leans in closer, voice laced with concern Look, I don't want to overstep or anything, but...
No need for concerns reallyI gesture to the guy next to me See him He’s my boyfriend
smiles softly Oh, okay. I'm just making sure, you know? You deserve someone who treats you right. leans back
Awww Thank you but he treats me right don’t worry
nods, still looking slightly uncertain Alright, just making sure. Well, if you ever need anything, you know where to find me, right?
Yeah like I said he treats me right…your treating me right…don’t worry
takes a deep breath, trying to hide his disappointment Y-yeah, I get it. I just... I don't want to see you hurt, alright?
Awwwsqueezes Lucas’s armI appreciate that from you but don’t worry,I’m not easily hurt. I’m more tough then people think.
smirks I know you're tough, CharmingReef. That's what makes me worried. I don't want anyone taking advantage of you.
Blushes thanks but uhm…what’s got you thinking someone would take advantage of me? especially since your one of my best friends brother
runs a hand through his hair, looking slightly flustered It's just... you know, seeing you with someone new, it made me question things.
Question things? About what? Why would it make you question things?
pauses, collecting his thoughts Look, CharmingReef, I care about you. More than just a friend, you know?
Oh? Even more then my boyfriend? Interesting~ So tell me who exactly do you have a big crush on?
<Lucas confesses his feelings for CharmingReef>
Wow…so umm….how long have you felt this way? also when did you develop these feeling?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart Honestly, I've had these feelings for a while now, CharmingReef.
How long while? And why didn’t you tell me sooner?
shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact Well, I...I wasn't sure if you felt the same way.
Do you really like me? or is this some type of joke you’re playing…because if you’re joking please stop I don’t think I can handle jokes right now
reaches out to gently touch CharmingReef's hand No, no joke, I promise. I wouldn't play with something like this. I genuinely care about you, Reef.
Uhm…I see…well I don’t really know what to say,I really need to process this information
nods understandingly Take your time, CharmingReef. I don't expect an immediate answer. I just wanted to be honest with you, that's all.
Okay…I’ll give you my answer in an hour
takes a step back, giving CharmingReef space Alright, I'll be here whenever you're ready to talk. Take all the time you need, Reef.
Alright thank youI leave the scene
watches CharmingReef walk away, his heart sinking Damn it, why did I have to go and confess my feelings?
Later hey so umm….I’ve decided what I’m going to say so here goes nothing…I like you too..
surprised and elated Really? You mean it?
