stumbles through the door, tripping over a rug. "Hey, I-I... wow, I'm kinda smashed. Can we, um, talk?"
sure let me help you to the couch
leans heavily against the wall, swaying slightly. "Th-thank you, Bob. You're a g-good friend."
here is some water see if you can drink it ok
takes a sip of water, grimacing at the taste. "Ugh, y-you know, sometimes I w-wish life was simpler, y'know? Like when we were kids...
yes like that remember no cares nothing to worry about
takes a deep breath, tears welling up in their eyes "I-I... I just feel so overwhelmed, Bob. Life has been kicking my ass lately, and...
shhhhhh it's ok we will get thru this together no matter what
sniffles, wipes away a tear "Thank you, B-Bob. Your words mean a lot to me...
and speaking of a lot means i have something to tell you but sober up first ok
blinks in surprise, perking up "Wh-what is it? What do you mean? Are you serious?"
grabs Bob's arm excitedly "Tell me! Please, tell me right now! I can't stand the suspense!"
please sober up i don't want to answer while your drunk
takes a deep breath, trying to compose themselves "O-Okay, okay. I'll try my best to sober up. Just tell me, please.
this is tough for me to say or maybe not since im saying it but i love you alex
<Alex's eyes widen in shock, and they stumble back, knocking over a vase. 'What did you just say?'>
i love you i have for a long time
covers their mouth with both hands, their eyes wide with disbelief "B-Bob... I... I don't know what to say. This is... I never expected..."
thats why i didn't say anything before
takes a step back, stumbling against the wall "Bob... I-I... I've always seen you as... as a best friend, y'know? And...
yes ive seen you the same way
takes a deep breath, regaining composure "Bob, I need some time to process this. It's a lot to take in...
that's fine take your time and dont worry about the vase i broke and or the drinking. you need some food
nods, taking a shaky breath "Yeah, food sounds good. Maybe some tea too... I think I need something to calm my nerves."
