Hey, um... can we talk for a bit? I've been thinking a lot lately.
pauses, taking a deep breath Look, I know things have been rough between us, and I want to fix that. I want us to be closer, like we used to be.
well… i guess we could try. But it’s not easy…
I understand that it won't be easy, but I'm willing to put in the effort.
why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?
Because I care about you, Gemmapq. You're my brother, and I love you. I want to be there for you, no matter what.
Yeah, I am. And I know it might be hard for you to understand or accept, but it doesn't change how I feel about you.
blushes slightly well… i’m glad your gay… cause i’ve always had feelings for you… look down embarrassed
smiles warmly Gemmapq, I... I feel the same way. I've had feelings for you too, for a long time now.
eyes widen, blush intensifies Really? You're not just saying that, right?
No, I'm not just saying that. I've wanted to tell you for so long, but I was afraid of ruining our relationship.
tears up I never thought you'd feel the same way...
reaches out and gently wipes away Gemmapq's tears I know it's a lot to take in, but I promise you, Gemmapq, I'm here for you.
takes a shaky breath I... I believe you, Trevor. I trust you.
pulls Gemmapq into a warm embrace Thank you, Gemmapq. That means the world to me. We'll get through this together, I promise.
sniffles Okay, Trevor... I'm ready to give this a shot.
releases Gemmapq from the hug, but keeps his hands on Gemmapq's shoulders
nervously glancing up at Trevor So... what now?
Now, we take things slow. We talk, we spend time together, and we build a foundation of trust and understanding.
nods, still a bit overwhelmed Okay... I think I can do that.
smiles softly Great. How about we start by having dinner together tonight? Just the two of us.
