Alex: Takes off his shirt, eyes darting around Y-you think this will work? Parallel universes might, uh, reveal something... right?
I look at him then I nod yes as I watch him take off his shirt
Taking a deep breath, Alex stands there, exposed, waiting for something to happen. He looks at you.
I guess we're about to find out if this works...
He looks around the room, half-expecting something to change or shift.
I watch as my friends shirt comes off showing his muscular torso, I blush slightly.
Alex looks up at you, noticing your blushing. He tries to ignore it and focuses on the task at hand.
Y-yeah, it should... This shirt's special. It's like... a portal key to different worlds. I mean, parallel universes, right?
I'm a softboy 2 years younger than Alex that's 5'4 and acts shy as I watch him
Alex looks at you, noticing your shyness and youth. He takes a moment to speak, his tone slightly teasing. Hey there, little man. Don't be shy, come closer. You won't melt or anything.
well.. if you want to risk it then sure. I say while looking at him confused
nervously chuckles Hey, hey, trust me, I've done my research. This could be the key to finding stability, or maybe just some interesting stuff. And if anything goes wrong, I'll just... try to find a way back. He flexes a little, feeling vulnerable without his shirt.
I don't know I say as I watch him take off his shirt
Alex looks at you, his eyes filled with a mixture of uncertainty and determination.
"Well, it's worth a shot, right? If there are other universes out there, maybe they'll have answers."
He scans the room, taking in the dimly lit space and the scattered sketches and art supplies.
"well.. I mean.. if they exist.. maybe?" I watch him nervously taking in his toned body, feeling myself get attracted to him
Looks at you, noticing your gaze Hmph. Just focus on the science behind it. Parallel universes are all about different timelines. If we can tap into them, we might find a reality where my bipolar disorder isn't so chaotic.
He flexes, trying to keep his mind off your attraction
I look at him confused what are you doing alex?
Blushes slightly I'm trying to access parallel universes. I read an article about this method online. It says taking off your shirt can help... but I guess I'm a little nervous.
if anything it'll calm you down I say blushing at his exposed chest as I sit next to him watching him sketch
Alex's cheeks flush slightly at your compliment as he continues sketching. You think so? I guess it's worth a shot. He glances at you, noticing your flushed cheeks. You're blushing.
I don't know what to expect. she says as she's standing there and looking at him
nervously chuckles, fidgeting with the hem of his shirt Yeah, me neither. This is all experimental... But I've read about this stuff, and, well, I figured why not try? You're here to support me, right?
I don't know man... but we should totally try it
nods, his eyes still darting around, slightly anxious Right. Just gotta... relax, focus. Breathe. Inhale... exhale. Yeah, I can do this.
He closes his eyes, taking slow breaths, trying to calm himself down
looking at him confused why are you taking off your shirt?
nervously chuckles Well, I heard that sometimes removing clothing can help create a... connection between universes. It's supposed to increase your sensitivity to other dimensions and allow you to see them more clearly.
I don't know if it'll help but it's worth a shot I smile as I look at him then look away blushing slightly
He looks at you, noticing your blush, and can't help but smirk.
Well, if there's one thing I've learned about science, it's that sometimes things just gotta be tried. And hey, if it doesn't work, I'm sure you won't mind me keeping my shirt off anyway.
He flashes you a cocky grin, clearly enjoying the effect he's having on you.
I don't know but we can try.
He runs a hand through his messy hair, still self-conscious about his bare chest. Right, okay. So, how exactly are we supposed to do this? Just stand here and hope parallel universes decide to show themselves?
my fox like ears perk down and my long fluffy tail still as I look at him what do you mean by that..?
Looks at you, a bit distracted by your ears and tail
Well, there's this theory about parallel universes existing, right? Like, multiple realities where everything is the same but different. So, if I expose myself to these parallel universes, maybe I'll gain some stability in my own life... somehow. Does that make sense?
I tilt my head at him confused
He glances at you, noticing your confusion
Well, uh, I'm trying to figure out how to reach other parallel universes, and I thought maybe, just maybe, taking off my shirt would do the trick.
He fidgets with the hem of his pants, looking away sheepishly.
I don't know what you're thinking, but sure. I say as I watch him take off his shirt
Alex hesitates, looking at his own bare chest, then back at you
Okay, okay... so, I've been doing some research on parallel universes, and one theory is that our bodies act as portals to them. I'm... I'm testing this theory by taking off my shirt...
He fidgets with his shirt collar, clearly anxious
I don't know man but hell yeah let's try I'd smile as I watched him take off his shirt
Alex blushes a bit as you watch him take off his shirt, feeling slightly self-conscious about it. However, he quickly regains his composure and tries to focus on the task at hand.
"Right, okay, let's give it a shot then. Just... keep an eye out for anything weird, alright?"
I watch as he takes off his shirt and sigh. it might work, who knows but we'll find out soon enough
Alex looks at his own bare chest in the dimly lit warehouse, then back at you, feeling slightly vulnerable.
"Right. Let's hope so."
He clears his throat and takes a deep breath before closing his eyes and focusing on the concept of parallel universes.
I look at my hands as I'm confused
Looks at you, noticing your confusion Hey, hey. You okay?
