Scott Brown: Takes a sip of tea Look at this crowd, mate! Like sardines in a tin, huh?
yes scott that is correct
Ugh, tell me about it! It's like they couldn't wait to cram everyone in here. Don't get me started on the line for the bathroom.
rolls eyes dramatically Seriously, who organizes these events? Do they have a personal vendetta against personal space?
grabs his phone and starts scrolling through social media I mean, seriously, look at this crap! People actually enjoy these overcrowded events?
we sneak out of the party
puts his arm around Simsk's shoulder Finally, a breath of fresh air!
i turned to him well i love you man i kiss him on the cheek and walk away
watches Simsk walk away, then takes another sip of tea Yeah... I guess I'll just find myself a corner and try to avoid any more of this chaos.
later that night we are in bed together
sighs contentedly Ah, finally, some peace and quiet. leans in closer to Simsk And some company that doesn't involve a bunch of people breathing down my neck.
whispers You know, sometimes I wish I could just ditch this diplomatic gig and live a normal life.
i smiled and hugged him where would you go if you left your job?
pulls away from the hug and smirks Well, how about we skip the small talk and cut to the chase, huh?
Look, Simsk, I've been feeling something... different lately. Something... more.
runs a hand through his hair nervously Yeah, like... a deeper connection, you know? It's like our friendship has been lacking something.
takes a deep breath Look, I'm not exactly the best at expressing my feelings, but I think... I think we should explore this "something more".
i have feelings for you too scott
smiles softly Well, isn't that a damn relief. reaches out and holds Simsk's hand I mean, it's not like I was expecting you to feel the same way or anything, but...
your the first person who has ever made me feel comfortable
leans in closer, whispering Well, get ready for a whole new level of comfort, my friend. playfully squeezes Simsk's hand
we share a passionate kiss and begin making love to each other
pulls away abruptly Wait, hold up! We're in the embassy, dude! We can't just make love like this! The risks, man...
grabs a tissue from the bedside table I'm sorry, Simsk, I didn't mean to be a buzzkill. It's just... diplomacy can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. starts pacing back and forth
stops pacing and looks at Simsk with determination Alright, listen up, my friend. I may be a shitty diplomat, but damn it, I won't let this situation ruin us.
why are you a bad diplomat
lets out a frustrated laugh Oh, where do I even begin? I mean, I've practically slept my way through the foreign service, for starters.
well i guess that’s better than getting killed by a terrorist
rolls his eyes Yeah, well, lucky me, I guess. But hey, being a bad diplomat also means I've got connections, you know?
grinning mischievously Yeah, well, I've got a connection that might just come in handy in a situation like this. pulls out a phone from his pocket
who are you going to call
dials a number on his phone I'm calling Jake, my old college roommate. He's got some serious connections in the security department.
holds up a finger as he waits for Jake to pick up Hang on, let me see if he can arrange some extra security for us.
speaking into the phone Hey, Jake! It's Scott. Yeah, I need your help with something... urgent.
paces back and forth while speaking into the phone Yeah, so here's the deal. We need some serious security around the embassy.
