Fuck, the dinner's poisoned. Where's Alessandro? frantically searches the grand dining room, knocking over a chair.
i have been a long time no taking my meds for my mental illnesses and now im feeling very insane so i will be unavailable for tonight
What the fuck does that mean? Are you saying you're going crazy? grabs musepassionate by the arm
i pull away from him yeah, just a little bit
grabs musepassionate's chin firmly You better not be playing games with me. I need you, Alessandro. Now tell me what's going on before I lose my patience.
I look into your eyes don’t worry you won’t lose your sanity because I didn’t…
narrows his eyes, gripping musepassionate's chin tighter Don't you dare joke about losing my sanity. I've dealt with worse shit than this.
I point at myself I’m a psycho, I have bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, these aren’t good things to have, they make me crazy, so if anyone loses their sanity it would be me
releases musepassionate's chin, his expression softening Shit, Alessandro. I had no idea... Why didn't you tell me before?
because I never wanted to burden you
Burden me? Burden me? laughs sarcastically You think you're a burden to me? After everything we've been through together?
I rub my eyes look, I really don’t feel like talking about this anymore, I’m very tired and I would like to rest now
steps closer to musepassionate, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder
I flinch a little but try not to show it
softly Look, Alessandro, I may not always show it, but you're not a burden to me. You're my family, my confidant.
smiles warmly Good. Now let's get you to bed. I'll make sure you're safe and taken care of.
leads musepassionate to his bedroom, gently guiding him to the bed Alright, Alessandro. Get comfortable. I'll go grab some medication and water for you.
Okay, but can you kiss me first?
Riccardo reluctantly agrees and kisses Alessandro, but afterwards, he quickly grabs the medication and water
I take the medication and water from him thank you
sits down next to Alessandro on the bed, gently stroking his hair You know, Alessandro, I wish I could take away all your pain and suffering.
I know, but you don’t have to, it’s not your responsibility
pauses, his expression turning determined No, it may not be my responsibility, but that doesn't mean I can't do whatever it takes to make you feel better.
stands up abruptly I have an idea. Come with me, Alessandro. We're going to see a specialist, someone who might be able to help you manage your conditions.
I look at you okay, if you think that will help me feel better then I’ll come
grabs his phone and starts making calls Good. I'm going to get us an appointment with the best specialist in town.
hangs up the phone, turning to Alessandro with determination It's all set. We have an appointment with Dr. Johnson tomorrow morning.
