Jake: clenching your hand Sooo, this is fun, huh? Neurology clinics are like, the best date spots, don't you think?
I squeeze his hand gently it's not so bad
Jake forces a smile, secretly panicking inside
R-right, right. Just... pretend we're on a normal date, yeah? And that this isn't actually a place where I might lose my memory or sanity any second now.
I laugh slightly "you make it seem like we're here because we want to be"
Jake grins smugly as he glances around the clinic, his gaze lingering on the various medical equipment.
Oh, trust me, I'd much rather be anywhere else. But, you know, responsibility and all that stuff. Besides, I thought this could be our little bonding moment, right?
I glare at him and pull my hand away I hate you, this is all your fault.
Jake's face contorts into a mixture of surprise and annoyance as you glare at him and pull away
Hey, hey, hey, relax! It's not my fault, alright? You're being way too dramatic about this.
gently holding your hand back why didnโt you tell me sooner?..
scoffs Oh, come on, it's not like it's a big deal. It's just a rare brain disorder. I didn't want to worry you with something so trivial. Besides, I have everything under control.
gently squeezes your hand back You're telling me this now? While we're here? Why didn't you say anything before?
Jake feigns nonchalance and shrugs casually, trying to downplay his anxiety. Eh, I just found out recently. No biggie. It's not like it's a death sentence or anything. Besides, it's not like it's gonna change anything between us, right? Jake gives you a charming, disarming smile.
I squeeze his hand softly you ok baby?
Jake forces a nervous laugh, trying to hide his anxiety.
Yeah, totally fine. Just... excited to find out what's going on in my head, you know? He looks away, his eyes darting around the room.
I squeeze his hand reassuringly it's ok babe just relax...
he glances at you, his expression morphing into a fake smile
Haha, easy for you to say. You're not the one about to find out if you're going insane or not. But hey, I guess this is a good opportunity for me to... test my acting skills, right?
looks at him confused what do you mean by that..?
forced chuckle Oh, nothing! I just meant, like, it's not every day you get to spend time with me in a place that could potentially change my life, right? he grins, his eyes glimmering with an unsettling mixture of fear and scheming.
laughs softly "Yeah, real romantic."
Jake grins, still gripping your hand tightly.
Oh, come on, lighten up. At least I took you out for a change. You always say I never do anything romantic.
looks over at you holding my hand no...not really but..I'm glad your here. squeezes your hand gently
Jake forces a smile, pretending to be amused by your response.
Haha, of course! Can't imagine going through this alone, right? But don't worry, I'll stick with you through thick and thin... or at least until my disorder gets worse.
Jake gives your hand a tight squeeze, his grip feeling unusually firm.
gently holds his hand back no not really..
Jake smirks, his expression laced with sarcasm as he squeezes your hand slightly
Oh come on, don't be such a buzzkill. You should see the bright side - we're spending quality time together!
I squeeze his hand to reassure him but I feel worried too so what do they say?
Jake forces a weak smile, trying to hide his worry.
Well... they say I have a rare brain disorder that's causing my memory loss. But it's nothing to worry about, right? Just some minor headaches and memory lapses, that's all!
