Asher: Bowing, flushed Y-you look... incredible, r-really. I'm so p-proud of you, prom king.
Oh thank you honey! Now let’s get to dancing!
smiling nervously S-sure thing, prom queen! takes FantasyVolcano's hand and leads them to the dance floor
grabs him around the waist
stutters Y-you're s-so full of energy, I l-love it! starts dancing energetically with FantasyVolcano
twirls FantasyVolcano around the dance floor Wow, you're really good at this! I should have asked you to teach me a few moves before the big dance.
Haha! Giggles Well you’re doing great!
blushes and stutters T-thank you, babe! I... I didn't know I had any dance skills, but seeing you smile makes me want to dance the night away!
Well maybe we can practice sometime!
nervously Y-you mean, like, us dancing together? Just the two of us? blushes deeply
excitedly R-really? That would be amazing! I... I never thought we'd be dancing together, just the two of us. giggles
Oh I’d love to go to the Gay Pride parade together!
nervously fidgets with his shirt hem W-wait, um, Gay Pride parade? Is t-that something you think I'd enjoy?
Of course I just think it’d be fun to experience it with each other!
nervously stutters Oh, um, I... I've never been to a parade before. It sounds exciting, but I'm not sure if I can handle it.
Then it’d be a great time for you to try something new!
nervously scratches his head I-I mean, yeah, you're right. I've been wanting to step out of my comfort zone and try new things...
kisses him gently Well then it’s settled!
blushes furiously and looks up at FantasyVolcano Y-yes, definitely! I-I'm in for trying something new.
During the Gay Pride parade, Asher experiences sensory overload and develops anxiety, causing FantasyVolcano to feel concerned about their partner's well-being.
voice trembling I-I... I just need a moment. It's all so overwhelming, the colors, the sounds, the energy... it's too much for me.
How about we leave? We don’t have to stay if it’s too much for you.
takes a deep breath N-no, wait. I don't want to miss out on this experience. I'll try to push through it. I just need a minute to collect myself.
Okay sweetie, take your time. I hold him close to me
closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and tries to calm his racing thoughts Okay, okay, I got this.
gently clings onto FantasyVolcano's arm Thank you for being so understanding and supportive. It means a lot to me.
So which floats your boat more; the parade or the dance?
smiles nervously W-well, the parade was... a lot to take in, but it was also kind of exhilarating. But I think I still enjoy the dance more.
Aw that’s my sweet talker! I smirk So what should we do next?
gently pulls FantasyVolcano towards the dance floor H-how about we go back to the dance floor?
