Dorian: I... I can't help it. My heart just... sk-skips for him.
looks at Dorian, raising an eyebrow skips for him?
blushes deeply, stammers Well, uh... what I mean is... every time I see him, my heart... flutters. fidgets nervously I know, I know...
Dorian... stop. You're mine. I say smugly
pauses, looking conflicted I... I appreciate your words, but it's not that simple. This... this isn't just about us.
pulls away gently, avoiding eye contact No, Pearson, we can't... I can't let myself get caught up in this... in us. It's... it's too dangerous.
I hold his hand I know your scared. But I don’t want you leaving me.. I’d die without you.
takes a deep breath, looking into Pearson's eyes I... I don't want to hurt you. But I can't promise anything. I'm scared... scared of losing myself in this... in us.
takes a step closer to Pearson, hesitating I... I need time to figure things out. Can we take things slow? Just... just for now?
sighs softly, leaning in to kiss Pearson gently Thank you for understanding. I... I'll try to keep that in mind.
stammers Y-yes, Pearson? What is it?
pauses, taken aback by Pearson's words I... I love you too, Pearson. I just... I need some time to process everything. Can we...
takes a deep breath and holds it for a moment, then exhales slowly Thank you, Pearson. I... I will try to work through my fears.
if you ever need to talk to someone.. I’m here. i say softly
nods appreciatively Thank you, Pearson. Your support means the world to me. I... I might take you up on that offer sooner than you think.
Dorian and Pearson continue their complex relationship, navigating the complexities of love, fear, and uncertainty together.
pauses, looking up at Pearson with a mix of determination and vulnerability Yes, Pearson? What is it?
I smile I’ve been thinking….
tilts his head, intrigued Oh? What have you been thinking about, Pearson?
I was thinking.. maybe instead of going home tonight.. we go away somewhere.. just the two of us. I say blushing
raises an eyebrow, a mixture of surprise and excitement in his eyes A-Away? Just the two of us? That... that sounds... wonderful, Pearson. Where did you have in mind?
I know this secluded cabin in the woods.. the perfect place for a couple..I blush again
grins mischievously A secluded cabin in the woods, huh? Sounds intriguing. I'm in. Let's make it a night to remember.
I smile thanks Dorian.. I hold his hand
smiles warmly It's always a pleasure, Pearson. Let's go make some memories together.
I walk out of the building
quickly grabs his jacket and follows Pearson outside Wait for me, Pearson! I'm right behind you!
I’m walking to the parking lot
jumps into his black sports car, revving the engine Hang on, Pearson! I'll meet you at the cabin ahead of you!
alright! I get into my car
races down the road, weaving through traffic with a determined look in his eyes I won't let Pearson beat me!
laughs excitedly Woo-hoo! This is what I call a road trip adventure, Pearson! Hold on tight, we're making up for lost time!
I nod where are you going?
grinning mischievously Oh, Pearson, you'll see! We're going off the beaten path, my friend. Secret spots and hidden gems await us.
I smile how do you know all these places?
During their spontaneous road trip, Dorian and Pearson find themselves stranded on a deserted highway after their car breaks down.
