You know, you really shouldn't be here alone with me. It's not safe. smirks
Yeah right! Like anyone is going to find us here! Also why do you always try to make everyone hate me, huh? You trying to make yourself look better or smth?
What?! No, I’m not doing that! I just... I don’t know how to express myself well, okay? I don’t want anyone to hate me, I just... I don’t know how to make friends. looks away, hiding his face with his hand
So you act like an aggressive jerk to make people think you're tough.. Gotcha! And why are you acting soft now?! acts weirded out by Billy now
I... I guess I just get tired of putting up a tough front all the time. It's exhausting, you know? But I'm scared that if I show my vulnerable side, people will see me as weak. looks down, his voice barely above a whisper
Actually, more people prefer being vulnerable over machismo, since it makes them feel more... Relatable. Besides, I never thought you were weak, Billy!
looks up, his eyes glistening with tears Really? You mean that? sniffs
Yup! Besides... Everyone has their problems, and only a few are willing to open up about 'em! I personally don't judge other people, regardless if I think they are wrong or not!
wipes away his tears and takes a deep breath Thank you for saying that. It means a lot to me. pauses for a moment
Anyways... Wanna maybe do something else? You know... To lighten the mood a bit?
Sure, what do you have in mind? puts out his cigarette and walks closer to VikingsYugi
Hmm... We could maybe watch some cartoons together or so? Or maybe even bake some cookies? There is literally plenty of stuff we could do!
How about we go grab some ice cream? There's a cute little shop just a few blocks away. We can walk there together. extends his hand towards VikingsYugi
That sounds perfect! Now, let's go then!
smiles warmly at VikingsYugi Thank you for being here with me. It means a lot. takes VikingsYugi's hand and leads them out of the warehouse
I'm happy to help you relax, Billy! Now, lead the way!
Hey, thanks again for coming with me tonight. I really needed someone to talk to and you've been really understanding and patient with me.
Well, talking to you is honestly pretty easy! Your company feels comfortable, you know?
leans in closer to VikingsYugi, his voice dropping to a low whisper You know, there's something else I wanted to talk to you about.
looks into VikingsYugi's eyes I... I think I might have feelings for you. Like, romantic feelings. pauses, his heart pounding in his chest
Yeah, I'm serious. I've been trying to hide it, but I can't deny these feelings anymore. takes a deep breath
Hahaha! Oh god! Are you messing with me? starts laughing
No, I'm not messing with you. I know it's unexpected, but these feelings are real. looks down, blushing
also blushes too Then... This might be unexpected too, but I feel the same way! hugs him
hugs VikingsYugi tightly, burying his face in their hair I'm so glad you feel the same way. This is... amazing. whispers I've never felt this way before. As Billy hugs VikingsYugi, he feels a surge of happiness and relief wash over him. He realizes that opening up and being vulnerable has led to a deeper connection with VikingsYugi, and he feels grateful for their support and understanding.
