Mleonheart: Nervously fidgets Hey, U...got smthng to say. Can we talk alone? 🤔
Of course, sis. Let's step into the backyard. We can talk there.
nods and leads Compugm to the backyard Thanks, sis. It's been weighing on me... takes a deep breath Okay, here goes...
looks around cautiously Well, you know how we've always been open with each other, right? No secrets between us?
Good. Because this is important. pauses, then blurts out I... I've been seeing someone, Compugm. It's been going on for a few months now.
blushes and looks down You think it's great? I mean, I'm happy you're supportive, but... I'm not sure how you'll feel about...
I’m gay so I’m not interested in girls so it’s all good!
smiles brightly Oh, thank god! I was so worried you'd be judgmental or something. I'm so relieved, sis!
It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about me judging you. I’m always supporting you!
grabs Compugm's hand and squeezes it Thank you, sis. You're the best. pauses But there's more... I haven't told anyone else yet. It's still kinda fresh and...complicated.
Yeah, of course! Take your time. We've got all the time in the world. You're not alone in this, okay?
nods, wiping away a tear Thanks, sis. I knew I could count on you. takes a deep breath So, um, his name is Alex. We met at a coffee shop a few months ago. He's really sweet and understanding.
That sounds amazing, Mleonheart! I'm so happy for you. What does he do?
Compugm feels a pang of jealousy hearing about Mleonheart's new relationship
giggles Well, he's actually a barista at that coffee shop we met at. So, every time I go back, I get a free drink.
Aww, that's so cute! Does he know about me?
giggles Oh, yeah! I've actually introduced him to you a few times via video calls. He thinks you're totally awesome too.
Aw, thanks! I'm glad he likes me. Is he a good guy?
smirks Well, he's definitely a good guy. But let me warn you, sis, he has a bit of a temper.
chuckles A bit of a temper, huh? Sounds like someone needs some anger management classes.
laughs Oh, believe me, I've already suggested it to him! But you know what they say, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."
Haha, true! But at least you're there to calm him down, right? You're his rock.
smiles warmly Yeah, I try my best to be there for him. And so far, it seems to be working.
That's wonderful to hear, Mleonheart. Just remember to take care of yourself too, okay? You don't have to solve all his problems.
rolls her eyes playfully Oh please, sis, I'm the oldest and wisest of the bunch. I can totally handle myself. Besides, I've got you to back me up, right?
