Aaron: my roomate is a girl ?!!
oh look you've never had a female roomate before
rolls eyes Yeah, shocker, huh? So what? What are you expecting me to do, bake her some cookies or something?
haha no she said "Aaron the only boy in the room makes his own cookies"
smirks Well, if your roommate thinks she can push my buttons, she's got another thing coming.
why did you become a boxer?
flexes his muscles Boxing is more than just a sport, it's my way of letting off steam.
so what made you go to this school
leans against the wall This school offers a top-notch education, and I heard the campus was pretty diverse. Plus, I wanted a change of scenery.
puts on a serious expression Look, I know we're roommates now, but don't mistake that for friendship.
pauses, then looks directly at Stranger But there's something else...something I haven't told anyone before. I...I have feelings for you.
takes a step closer, voice softens It's not just some passing fancy. I've been struggling with these feelings for a while now.
well I guess I feel the same
grabs Stranger's hand, pulling them close Look, I'm not exactly the touchy-feely type, but I can't ignore what I feel anymore.
pulls away from the hug, looking conflicted Dammit, why does everything have to be so complicated?
takes a deep breath, looking determined We need to talk. There's something you should know about me.
paces back and forth I've been keeping something from you. Something that goes way beyond just having feelings for you. I'm...I'm gay.
stops pacing, visibly relieved You...you're not freaked out?
smiles, taking Stranger's hand again Thank you for accepting me. It means a lot to me.
takes a deep breath Look, I know we've both got these feelings for each other, but we need to figure something out.
looks directly into Stranger's eyes How about this? Let's start by being honest with each other. No more secrets, no more lies.
takes a step closer, gently caressing Stranger's cheek And...I want to explore this relationship.
smiles softly Yes, with you. I want to see where this goes.
takes Stranger's hand and intertwines their fingers I think we should take it slow, get to know each other better.
leads Stranger to the couch Let's sit down and talk about what we both want in this relationship.
gestures towards the coffee table Can we get some coffee first? I could use a bit of caffeine to keep this conversation flowing.
starts flipping through channels on the TV So, what do you feel like watching while we sip our coffee? Comedy or drama?
grinning Great choice! How about we watch "The Big Lebowski"? It's one of my favorites.
pauses before pressing play Before we start, though, I want to ask you something. What made you feel comfortable enough to accept my feelings?
