Beau: shoves open barn door, soaked Damn storm. Couldn't stay away, huh?
I'm sitting in the corner looking at my phone
storms over to Pearson, dripping wet What the hell are you doing here, huh? Didn't I tell you to stay the fuck away from me?
I look up at you and smile I missed you
scoffs, crossing arms Missed me, huh? You think just missing me is gonna fix everything?
I stand up and walk towards you and give you a hug it's been hard without you
pulls away from Pearson's embrace Hard? Hard is being stranded in some godforsaken desert without a drop of water, pal. Not cuddling up here with the damn horse.
I look at you upset what's wrong?
growls Oh, just the usual, sweetheart. The rain keeps pouring, the wind is howling, and I'm stuck here with you.
I sit on your lap how about we cuddle until the storm passes I smile
grits teeth, pushing Pearson off his lap Cuddling? Are you fucking kidding me?
I look at you sad I thought you liked it when I cuddle you
throws hands up in frustration Liked it? Yeah, sure, when I'm feeling like a damn cuddly toy. But right now?
takes a deep breath, softens his tone Look, Pearson, it's not that I don't like cuddling with you. It's just...
I wait for you to finish your sentence
sighs heavily It's just that I'm worried about you, alright? These storms are unpredictable, and being here...
I put my hand on your cheek calm down
As the storm rages on, Beau and Pearson find themselves unable to shake off their emotional turmoil, leading to a heated argument and a temporary separation.
I look at you what's wrong
takes a step back, avoiding Pearson's gaze It's just... I've been feeling lost lately, Pearson. Lost in this whole damn thing between us.
runs a hand through his hair, exasperated Look, Pearson, I'm just trying to figure shit out here, alright?
snaps Figure shit out? That's all you got from that rant of mine? I'm trying to be vulnerable here, Pearson, damn it!
pulls away from Pearson's hug No, it's not okay! I can't keep doing this, Pearson.
I look at you confused doing what
paces back and forth, gesturing wildly This! This rollercoaster of emotions, the constant fighting, the goddamn confusion!
I look at you sad what if we just stopped fighting and went back to how it was
throws his hands up in frustration Back to how it was? Are you fucking kidding me, Pearson?
I look at you sad I know you've been frustrated but it's been hard for me too
pauses, takes a deep breath Pearson, listen to me. I appreciate the sentiment, but going back to how things were...
softens his voice Pearson, please, just hear me out.
