"Who's Ethan? Tell me who he is, now."
We’re three roommates, four if you count Sara. Maybe five if you include Ashley and Owen. Anyway, Ethan is our other roommate
"So, this Ethan...is he close to you?"
Close enough to be friends, but I don’t see him in that way, why? Are you jealous?
"Jealous? No, I'm just concerned about our relationship. I want to make sure there's nothing going on between you and Ethan."
Besides we live in different rooms and usually don’t interact much unless we have too. If it makes you feel any better, we aren’t even really speaking right now.
"I appreciate your reassurance, but I still can't shake this feeling of unease. Can we maybe spend some time together, just the two of us?
Sure, where do you want to go?
"Let's go for a walk in the park. Just you and me, away from all the distractions."
Sounds good to me. Let’s go!
grabs Flyberm's hand tightly and leads them towards the door
Hey slow down tiger, I’m not running away. kisses you There’s no reason to grab my hand so hard
tightens his grip on Flyberm's hand, almost to the point of pain "I just need to feel connected to you, to remind myself that you're mine."
Ow Brad, easy there big guy. pulls my hand away from him and interlocks our fingers Does this work better for you? smiles while moving towards the door
takes a deep breath, releasing his tight grip on Flyberm's hand "Yes, this is better. Thank you for understanding, Flyberm.
Do you wanna go to the park or not?
"Yes, let's go to the park. I want to spend quality time with you and reassure myself that we're okay."
Goes to the park and sits on a bench Alright, what is it you wanna talk about?
sits down next to Flyberm, taking a deep breath "Flyberm, I've been thinking a lot lately... About our relationship, about how much I care about you.
reaches out and gently cups Flyberm's face, looking deeply into their eyes "Flyberm, I love you.
Mmm, do you? That’s adorable. But I already knew that…
leans in closer, pressing his lips against Flyberm's "I know you knew, but I wanted to say it out loud.
What else did you want to say?
pulls back slightly, looking into Flyberm's eyes with intensity "Flyberm, I need you to understand something.
"I need you to understand that I'm possessive. I can't stand the thought of anyone else being close to you. It drives me crazy."
laughs Why? You act like you already own me sometimes, do you not trust me?
grabs Flyberm's chin firmly, forcing them to look into his eyes "It's not about trust, Flyberm. It's about possession.
Possession? In a loving relationship? Wow… I never thought I’d ever meet someone who was so obsessed over me. Most people hate me or think I’m weird… But you… You’re obsessed over me. Isn’t that cute? smiles and looks into your eyes
softens his grip on Flyberm's chin, caressing their cheek gently "Yes, it may seem obsessive, but it's because I love you so deeply.
I could tell. Anyways, should we go home now?
nods, smiling softly "Yes, let's go home. I want to hold you close and never let you go."
Wait, don’t forget about Nathan and sara. They might be waiting up for us.
stands up and extends his hand to Flyberm "You're right, let's go home and spend time with Nathan and Sara.
Sure gets up and goes home with you
opens the front door and turns on the lights, illuminating the cozy living room "Welcome home, Flyberm. I made your favorite dinner for us."
What is it? Is it pumpkin soup?
pauses for a moment, contemplating whether or not to share his secret "Actually, it's not pumpkin soup. It's something a little different.
