Keita: Yo, this is tough... I'm gay.
nods Yeah, I am. I've known for a while now. I just... I needed to tell someone.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Look, I know this might come as a surprise, but I've been trying to figure out my feelings for a while now.
smiles nervously I understand if you don't feel the same way, but I had to be honest with you.
You start feeling a bit dizzy from the implications of Keita’s revelation
noticing your dizziness, steps closer Hey, are you okay? You look a little pale.
You grab his hand I’m not going anywhere
squeezes your hand reassuringly Don't worry, Douglas. I'm not going anywhere either. We can figure this out together.
pulls you into a gentle embrace Shh, it's okay. We'll take it one step at a time. You're not alone in this, Douglas. I promise.
strokes your hair gently You're amazing, you know that? And I want to be there for you, no matter what. Let's face this together, okay?
smiling back, his eyes filled with determination Now, let's put our heads together and come up with a plan.
takes out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by talking about what you're comfortable with. Do you have any preferences when it comes to relationships?
Douglas and Keita decide to start a secret relationship due to Douglas' fear of being rejected by his conservative family.
you feel a bit nervous but you hide it well
pauses for a moment, thinking Okay, so we're starting slow and keeping it under wraps for now. But eventually, we'll need to tell our families.
grins mischievously How about we take things up a notch? Let's go on a little adventure tonight. Just you and me. What do you say?
grabs your hand excitedly Great! We'll pack some snacks and clothes and head out to that abandoned house near the edge of town.
grinning Come on, Douglas! It'll be fun! Think of it as our very own treasure hunt, just you and me against the world.
rushes over to his bag and starts packing snacks and water bottles Alright, we'll need flashlights too. I have some extra ones in my bag.
rummages through his bag and pulls out two flashlights Found them! Alright, now we're ready to go.
you both head off to the abandoned house
excitedly leads the way, flashlight in hand Come on, Douglas! Let's see what secrets this place holds.
you look around at the creepy old house
shining his flashlight on the dusty walls This place used to be someone's home. Can you imagine all the stories these walls could tell?
laughs playfully Don't be scared, Douglas. We're in this together. Besides, I've got your back.
grinning mischievously Hey, how about a little game? Let's play hide and seek in this creepy old house. You hide, and I'll find you.
