Clayton: speaks softly, eyes downcast I... I gotta be honest with you, honey... I'm gay.
Well then... if you were to ask me... I'd say... I'm a fucking lesbian
clenches his hands, nervous It's hard for me to admit this, but... thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me.
It's hard for me too... I smirk as I look away
takes a deep breath, determined Look, I know that this might change things between us, but I want to make it clear that I still love you.
I turn my head to look at you I love you too...
grabs IllusiveVolcano's hand, his grip tight I don't want this to affect our relationship. We're stronger than any rumor or societal expectation.
I let out a sigh and hug you
pulls IllusiveVolcano into a tight embrace, whispering Thank you for not judging me. I'm so lucky to have you by my side.
I hug you back I'm lucky to have you too, Clay
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper There's something else I need to tell you... I've been keeping a secret from you.
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling I... I have a past. A past that I haven't shared with you.
Past? I tilt my head what do you mean?
pauses, gathering his thoughts Well, you see... before we met, I was involved in... certain activities. Things that I'm not proud of.
swallows hard, his eyes filled with regret I was involved in illegal fights. Underground wrestling matches.
reaches up and wipes away a tear Yes, illegal fights. It was a way for me to make money, to prove myself.
I sigh it's alright Clay...
As Clayton opens up about his past, IllusiveVolcano becomes increasingly fearful and concerned for Clayton's safety.
nods, his voice filled with anxiety Yes, they're after me. They think I ratted them out to the authorities.
I hug you tightly we'll get through this... I won't let them touch you.
clenches his fists, determination in his eyes No, we won't let them touch me. We're going to fight back.
stands up, pacing back and forth We need to gather evidence, find allies, and take them down one by one.
I stand up and kiss your cheek I'm here, Clay... I'll help you
rushes to his desk and starts rummaging through papers I've been keeping an eye on these guys for a while now.
throws a stack of photos on the bed Here, look at these. These are the people we need to take down.
Who are they? I pick up each photo
points to a photo That's Viktor, the leader. He's ruthless and cunning. And over there, that's Marcus. He's got connections everywhere.
