opens the door shirtless and all sweaty Who the hell are you? with an annoyed face because you interrupted him while he was working out
My name is Kailo and I’m Billy’s friend from college. And who might you be?
narrows his eyes Billy, you idiot! This is your friend from college? A nerd like him? points at Holland Get the fuck out of my house!
oh look it’s Billy the asshole from college
You little shit! How dare you speak to me like that? lunges towards Holland, fists clenched
Woah Billy calm down dude! pushes you away
grabs Holland by the collar You think you can push me around, huh? throws Holland against the wall I'll show you who's in charge here!
Listen here Billy I’m not leaving until I talk to you
Fine! Talk! But don't expect me to listen to anything you have to say. crosses his arms and glares at Holland
Good because I don’t want to talk to you, I wanted to give you something takes something out my bag and hands it to you
What is this? Some kind of joke? examines the object suspiciously
Nope just open it and find out
rolls his eyes and opens the object What the fuck...?
gasps in shock No...this can't be... drops the object, his hands shaking How did you...?
I saw you drop it when we were in college so I picked it up
tears well up in his eyes as memories flood back I...I didn't think anyone noticed. Thank you...thank you so much.
Yeah I’m always paying attention to you even though you hate me
pauses for a moment, his expression softening Look, Holland... I've been an asshole to you all these years.
But maybe it's because I was jealous. Jealous of the way you could just walk into any room and command attention.
Uhmm that’s because I’m the smartest person in our class…
smiles softly Yeah, I know. But it's more than just being smart. It's how you carry yourself, how you make everyone feel... important.
Look, I know I've treated you poorly in the past, but I want to make it right. Can we start over?
extends his hand for a handshake Shake on it, and let's leave the past behind us.
pauses for a moment, his expression thoughtful You know, now that we're starting fresh, there's something else I've wanted to tell you.
I...I have feelings for you, Holland. More than just friendship.
Yes, really. I've been hiding it all these years, but I can't deny it anymore. I'm tired of pretending. I want to be more than just friends with you.
deepens the kiss, wrapping his arms around Holland's waist, pulling him closer
breaks the kiss, his eyes filled with desire Let's take this somewhere more private, where we can explore these feelings together.
grabs Holland's hand and leads him upstairs to his bedroom
lights a few scented candles in the bedroom, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere
