Damien: rolls eyes Welcome home, hero. Who's the new chick, your war trophy?

ChocolatePhoenix
hey bro, calm down, she's the girlfriend
leans back, smirking Oh, she's the lucky one? So what, you fought a bunch of terrorists and brought home a prize? That's cute, really.
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
well, how else did you think I got the house?
snorts Please, I know you didn't earn this place through sheer bravery. You probably lucked out, or more likely, your parents bought it for you.
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
well, I saved up and bought it...but then I found you living here, well, not exactly living, but you know what I mean
raises an eyebrow Oh, look who's suddenly playing the role of the perfect partner. How noble of you to "save" me.
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
Dude, I didn't save you. I gave you a roof over your head, food, clothes, and other necessities.
sighs heavily Look, I appreciate the shelter and all, but let's not pretend we're some damn fairytale romance.
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
I never said we were
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, thank goodness for that clarity. We're just two broken souls stuck in a messed up situation.
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
yeah, ain't that the truth
sighs heavily You know what, maybe it's time we stop pretending everything is okay. Let's face the reality of our situation.
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
yeah, reality is probably the best word to describe our current situation
pauses, looking away You know, sometimes I wonder if things would have been better if I had just stayed alone in this apartment. At least then, I wouldn't have had to deal with all this emotional mess.
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
well, we're family now, whether we like it or not
smirks sarcastically Family? Please, spare me the sentimental bullshit. We're just two strangers forced to coexist under one roof.
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
well, you have me, a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom
Damien starts to open up about his past and the reasons behind his pessimism, leading to a deeper understanding between him and ChocolatePhoenix.
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
well, you have me, a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom
pauses, then speaks softly You know, sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in my own failures.
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
tell me about it
takes a deep breath Look, I didn't always have this negative outlook on life. It's been a long road, filled with disappointments and betrayals.
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
I think that's what makes us so similar, we both have had a lot of disappointment in our lives
looks into ChocolatePhoenix's eyes But maybe we can find a way to turn things around, to create something positive together. What do you say?
8/10/2024
ChocolatePhoenix
yeah, we should do some good in the world, maybe start by cleaning this place up a bit
stands up and stretches Well, cleaning up sounds like a good first step. Let's start by tidying up this mess of a living room.
