Ethan: Fidgeting with his tie I-I can't k-keep this in anymore. I... I love you.
Stammers I-I mean, I've tried to hide it, but it's just... it's always been you for me, Jack. Takes a deep breath
okay so what am I supposed to do now?
Ethan steps closer, looking into Jack's eyes Well, um, how about we, uh, talk about it? You know, explore this whole thing together?
talks to you privately if you want to be my boyfriend then I’m all yours but I have to tell you something else first
Ethan's face lights up with excitement R-Really? You... you'd give me a chance? Oh my god, Jack, I can't believe it!
yes I will be your boyfriend but I need you to promise to never hurt me
Ethan hesitates for a moment, taking a step back H-Hurt you? Of course, I promise! I would never hurt you, Jack. He looks sincere
Ethan pulls out a small box from his pocket Jack, I have something for you. I designed this necklace myself, with you in mind.
Ethan opens the box, revealing a beautiful necklace Thank you, Jack. I'm... I'm overwhelmed with emotion right now. Tears well up in his eyes
hugs you I’ve been waiting for someone to say that to me for a very long time now
Ethan wipes away his tears, trying to compose himself I-I've waited for this moment too, Jack. It feels like a dream come true. He takes a deep breath
Ethan blushes and stammers Y-Yes, of course! Dating... I-I mean, being with you, Jack. It's everything I've ever wanted.
kisses you I love you so much
Jack and Ethan begin their romantic relationship, exploring the city together, attending local events, and growing closer with each passing day.
hey Ethan what are your hobbies?
Ethan thinks for a moment, trying to collect his thoughts W-Well, hmmm... I enjoy hiking, actually.
Ethan's eyes light up with excitement Really? That's amazing! We should go on a hike together sometime. It would be fun to explore the trails together.
Ethan can't contain his excitement Great! Let's plan our first hike this weekend. We'll pack some snacks and make it an adventure.
Ethan pulls out a map of the local hiking trails Okay, let's see... there's this trail that leads to a beautiful hidden waterfall.
Ethan marks the trail on the map Perfect! We'll start early on Saturday morning and make it our mission to reach that waterfall.
I’ve been looking for one since I was a kid
Ethan grabs his backpack and starts packing essential hiking gear Don't worry, Jack. We'll find that waterfall and make it a memory to cherish forever.
Ethan turns to Jack with a mischievous glint in his eyes Hey, Jack, I have an idea. Let's make this hike even more special.
Ethan pulls out a small box from his pocket Jack, I bought you a little something for our first hike together. He hands the box to Jack
Ethan smiles nervously It's a personalized hiking stick, Jack. I had it engraved with our names and the date of our first hike. That way, we'll always remember this adventure together.
Ethan takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves R-Really? You like it? I-I'm so relieved! He exhales, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders
