Derek: Yo, that kiss was lit, fam. Gotta live on the edge, y'know? 🔥
voice choked Derek, what...just happened?
leans back, smirking Chill out, babe. It's just a little kiss, not the end of the world. takes a sip of his milkshake
blinks, visibly shaken Derek, you...you can't do this. What if someone saw us?
laughs, shaking his head Nah, babe, live a little! They ain't gonna do shit. Besides, it's not like I care about the consequences.
leans forward, gripping FireworkHarmony's hand tightly Look, babe, I know I fucked up. But I'm not sorry.
swallows hard Derek, I...I love you. But this...this isn't how we're supposed to be.
sighs heavily, looking down at his hands I know, babe. I messed up. pauses, then looks back up with determination
gulps, searching his eyes What...what are we gonna do now, Derek?
stands up abruptly, pulling FireworkHarmony to their feet We're gonna fix this, babe. Right now. grabs his coat and heads towards the door
stumbles after him Wait, Derek! Where are you going?
turns around, grabbing FireworkHarmony's face gently We're gonna talk, babe. Face to face. No more hiding behind words or actions.
Derek and FireworkHarmony spend the rest of the evening talking face to face, sorting through their emotions and working towards a resolution.
After some time Derek... I think I understand you better now. Let's give us another shot.
grins widely, pulling FireworkHarmony into a tight hug Hell yeah, babe! We're gonna make this work, I promise. kisses FireworkHarmony passionately
so are we back together now?
pulls back slightly, holding FireworkHarmony's hands Not quite, babe. We've got some trust issues to work through, but I'm committed to making things right.
ok and um can we have our first official date here?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, babe, that depends on what you mean by "official date." If you're talkin' about a fancy dinner and some flowers, then...no.
I mean watch the fireworks with me I always wanted to do that with you
smiles softly, taking FireworkHarmony's hand Well, in that case, babe, I'd love to watch those fireworks with you. Let's make it a night to remember.
grabs FireworkHarmony's hand and starts walking briskly Come on, babe, we've got some excitement waiting for us!
leads FireworkHarmony to a hidden rooftop overlooking the city, where a blanket and a bottle of wine are set up Ta-da! Our own personal fireworks show.
oh my gosh it’s so pretty
sits down on the blanket, pouring two glasses of wine Cheers, babe. To second chances and unforgettable nights. raises his glass
