"Forgive me? Or should I just tattoo 'cheater' on my forehead?" He mocks a laugh, but his eyes are desperate.
I don’t know if I can forgive you
rolls his eyes dramatically Seriously? You're gonna hold onto this for longer than necessary? Come on, Pearson, let's not waste time here.
snorts sarcastically Upset? Oh, poor little Pearson is upset. Boo-freaking-hoo! Get over it already!
You cheated on me, Aiden. That's not something you just 'get over'.
throws his hands in the air Jesus, Pearson, it was one mistake! One! Can't you let me off the hook for a damn slip-up?
lowers his voice, trying to sound sincere Look, Pearson, I messed up, okay? I admit it. I fucked up big time. But...
places a hand on Pearson's shoulder But I'm asking for another chance.
leans in closer, speaking softly Another chance, Pearson. That's all I'm asking for. Is that too much to ask?
wraps his arms around Pearson tightly, burying his face in their neck Thank you, Pearson. Thank you for understanding.
You better not mess it up again
leans back, smirking Mess it up again? Who do you think I am, Pearson? A walk-in-the-park kind of guy?
laughs lightly You’re impossible, Aiden. But yeah, I’ll give you another chance.
Despite Pearson forgiving Aiden, the trust between them is severely damaged, leading to constant arguments and a strained relationship.
So what now? Are we cool?
rolls his eyes Are we cool? Please, Pearson, you know I hate playing these stupid games. Just tell me what we're gonna do now.
runs his fingers through his hair, frustrated Look, Pearson, we can't keep doing this back-and-forth shit. We need a fresh start.
Alright, fresh start. What's your first move, Mr. Smooth?
grins mischievously Well, Pearson, I've got a little surprise for you. We're going on a road trip, just you and me.
Road trip? Really? Where are we going?
pulls out a map from his backpack Oh, you're gonna love this, Pearson. We're heading to the Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon? That’s quite a trip. When do we leave?
points at the map, circling a route We'll hit the road in two days.
Two days huh? Thats pretty soon. Im gonna have to get my stuff together
grabs Pearson's hand excitedly That's the spirit, Pearson! You better start packing those bags because I can't wait to hit the open road with you.
giggles Alright, Aiden. I'll be ready in no time. Let's do this!
starts rummaging through his backpack, tossing various items into a large duffel bag Alright, Pearson, while you're packing your stuff, I'll take care of our supplies.
