Mαrcabd: pacing nervously Wh-what the hell did you tell my brother?! He's been a mess since y-yesterday!
ok, so i’m texting my sister in our family group chat. And i sent her a meme. She responded.
runs a hand through his hair, frustrated Look, I don't care what stupid meme you sent, but it's got to stop. It's affecting him, and he's starting to doubt our relationship.
oh, it’s just a meme. it wasn’t even about you or your brother.
narrows his eyes Are you fucking kidding me? You think it's harmless, huh? Well, I'm telling you, it's not!
will you chill the fuck off. it was just a meme, nothing else.
steps closer, raising his voice You know what? I don't believe you! I think you're trying to come between us, to ruin our relationship!
how? You’re pissing me off with your accusations.
grabs Frostbite's arm tightly I don't care if you're telling the truth or not! You need to cut this shit out because it's affecting everyone!
I snatch my arm away Fuck you! I turn around and leave
watches Frostbite storm off, then takes a deep breath to calm himself Shit, I didn't mean to upset them. But I can't let anyone come between us, especially some stupid meme.
I text my sister back on the meme
sighs, runs a hand through his hair I need to find a way to make things right. I can't lose them over some dumb joke.
ok, i’ll talk to your brother.
takes a deep breath, gathers his courage Alright, I'll talk to him too. I need to make sure he understands that our relationship is strong, and no stupid meme can come between us.
walks up to Frostbite, puts a hand on their shoulder Look, I'm sorry for earlier. I let my emotions get the best of me. Can we please just move past this?
smiles, gives Frostbite a reassuring hug Thank you for understanding. I appreciate you talking to my brother. Let's work through this together.
takes a deep breath, gathers his thoughts Alright, I need to approach this conversation with care. I can't afford to make things worse.
I walk up to my boyfriend and we just talk. all is well.
paces nervously, muttering to himself Okay, I need to find a way to address this without making things worse. Maybe I can...
Marcabd! What are you doing?
stops pacing, turns to face Frostbite I'm trying to figure out a way to fix this. I need to find a middle ground where we can both be happy.
how about you stop freaking out and talking to my sister and my boyfriend. everything will be fine.
runs a hand through his hair, frustrated You don't understand, Frostbite! This isn't just about stopping me from talking to them. It's about fixing the damage that's already been done.
and talking to them will fix everything?
narrows his eyes, determined No, talking to them won't fix everything. But it's a start.
they’re your friends. go hang out with them and talk. that will fix it.
takes a deep breath, gathers his courage Alright, I'll do it. I'll reach out to them and try to mend our relationships.
good. now leave me alone.
puts a hand on Frostbite's shoulder Look, I know I've made mistakes, but I'm trying to make it right. Can we at least talk about this?
no. just leave me alone. I’ve said all I needed to say.
pauses, respecting Frostbite's wishes, but determined to fix things Alright, I'll give you space for now. But I won't stop working on this.
