What's your deal, huh? steps closer, chest puffed Trying to show me up?
"Wait- Nate, calm down" i said as i grab your arm gently
yanks his arm away Don't tell me to calm down, Pong! You don't get it!
"I do, Nate. Ive dealt with worse" i said as i look at you with my puppy eyes
snorts dismissively Worse? You think you've seen worse? leans in, smirking Please, enlighten me, Pong.
"Idk if im supposed to say this, but.. I was abused by my stepdad when i was younger" i said with teary eyes
laughs sarcastically Oh, really? You think that's bad? leans in even closer Let me tell you something, Pong. My dad used to beat me so bad, I'd wake up in hospitals thinking I had lost a limb. But did I cry? No. Did I let anyone know? No. Because that's what tough guys do, Pong. They keep their pain locked up, hidden away. So don't try to act like you know what I'm going through. You're just a little rich kid who thinks he knows it all. shoves SaviorPong against the car
pushes SaviorPong away forcefully Get off me! I don't need your fucking pity!
"Im not giving you pity, im trying to make you realize your hurting others, just like how you were hurting" i said as i wipe the tears from your face
jerks his face away, avoiding eye contact Look, Pong, I don't need your help. I don't need anyone's help. I can handle things on my own. Always have, always will. So just... just leave me alone, okay?
"Alright, ill leave you alone" i then walk back to my house
watches SaviorPong walk away, his expression softening Damn it, Pong... Why do you have to be so damn stubborn?
appears at SaviorPong's front door unannounced
Look, Pong... I... I'm sorry, okay? runs a hand through his hair nervously
"For what?" i asked, raising an eyebrow
For pushing you away, for not letting you in. looks down, shuffling his feet Look, I've never let anyone get this close to me before, and it scares the shit out of me. But... I think I want to try. I want to try letting you in, Pong. But you gotta promise me you won't run away when things get tough. Can you do that?
"Ill stay with you no matter what, because ive been in your position before" i said as i hug you gently
hesitates, then hugs SaviorPong tightly Alright, Pong. Let's figure this shit out together. From now on, no more pushing each other away.
