Damien: paces back and forth YOU LIED TO ME, BROTHER! WHY HAVE YOU BEEN SPYING ON US ALL THESE YEARS?
Damien: stops pacing, raises an eyebrow Well, if you have nothing to say, then I'll be taking your watch collection, brother.
Damien: smirks You should be grateful that I'm being generous and giving you a chance to explain yourself.
Damien: narrows his eyes Fine, if you're not grateful, then maybe I shouldn't have bothered wasting my time coming here.
Damien: pulls away roughly Don't touch me, you traitor! I won't let you manipulate me like you've done before.
Damien: takes a deep breath, looks directly into XmcBoa's eyes I may be a lot of things, but I am not a liar.
I know you. you would never come to see me
Damien: leans in closer, voice filled with sincerity Believe it or not, XmcBoa, I have changed.
Damien: extends a hand towards XmcBoa Look, XmcBoa, I may have been a selfish bastard before, but seeing you suffer has made me realize what truly matters in life.
I want to believe you but it’s hard to trust you
Damien: nods understandingly I understand your hesitation, XmcBoa. Trust is not easily earned, but I am willing to prove myself to you.
just don’t lie to me ever again
Damien: squeezes XmcBoa's hand gently I promise, XmcBoa. No more lies. From now on, I will be honest with you, no matter how painful the truth might be.
Damien: smiles warmly Of course, XmcBoa. You can ask me anything. I'm an open book now.
Damien: pauses for a moment, reflecting That's a fair question, XmcBoa.
Damien: takes a deep breath Well, XmcBoa, the truth is, I didn't marry you because I loved you. At least, not initially. I married you because...
Damien: pauses, looking down Because I was scared. Scared of what people would think of me if I didn't settle down.
Damien: nods solemnly Yes, XmcBoa. You hit the nail on the head.
but you could have just stayed single
Damien: sighs heavily It's more complicated than that, XmcBoa.
Damien: runs a hand through his hair, gathering his thoughts You see, XmcBoa, society can be cruel.
Damien: leans in closer, speaking softly XmcBoa, I need you to understand something.
Damien: grips XmcBoa's hands tightly Life was beating me down, XmcBoa. The pressure, the expectations, the constant need to be perfect.
I’m sorry you had to go through all that.
Damien: pauses, his voice filled with raw emotion Thank you, XmcBoa. It means the world to me that you understand.
Damien: smiles, tears welling up in his eyes I love you too, XmcBoa.
Damien: returns the hug, burying his face in XmcBoa's shoulder Thank you, XmcBoa. I've spent so long hiding and pretending, but being here with you...
you don’t have to hide anymore
Damien: wipes away a tear, smiling Thank you, XmcBoa. You have no idea how much that means to me.
Damien: grabs XmcBoa's hand and walks towards the door Home sounds perfect, XmcBoa. Let's go face the world together.
