Dune: fidgeting Why didn't youuu tell me?! Three years, and you kept this from me?!
I was scared. Scared you wouldn’t love me anymore if I told you.
sighs heavily, places a hand on TrackerFunk's shoulder Oh, my sweet naive little genius...
Uuuuhgghhh, I’m sorry!!! I wanted to tell you but I was scared 😩
crosses arms, looking upset Scared? Scared of what, huh? Did you think keeping this secret would protect us or something?
I was going to tell you, but then it felt too late, and I didn't want to ruin our friendship...
crosses arms, looking disappointed Ruin our friendship? Do you think keeping this from me would have made me hate you or something?
crosses arms, voice trembling I can't believe you! We're supposed to be best friends, aren't we? How could you keep something like this from me?
laughs nervously Oh, well, it wasn't really that big of a deal, was it? tries to change the subject So, uh, how's work been lately?
crosses arms, glaring Not that big of a deal? You kept a whole relationship from me! How am I supposed to trust you now?
Umm? That's not an answer, TrackerFunk! How could you keep something like this from me for three years? I thought we were best friends!
sniffs, tears welling up Ask you?! No, of course not! I trusted you! I thought... voice cracks I thought we were best friends.
I was scared okay.. I thought you would be mad at me..
softens expression Oh sweetheart, why would I be mad at you? I love you, imperfections and all. We can work through this together.
blushes Shit, Dune... I... I guess I was scared. It's been a weird, confusing time for me, y'know?
crosses arms Scared? Scared of what, huh? Did you think keeping this from me would protect us or something?
blushes, avoiding eye contact Uuhhh... I... I thought you'd be okay with it? You know... after all that time I couldn't find the right moment...
crosses arms, sighs heavily Okay, let's not do this in public. We'll talk at my place. starts walking towards their apartment
Scared? Scared of what, huh? Did you think keeping this a secret would somehow protect us? Protect me?
sighs heavily Look, Dune... I wanted to tell you, I really did. But every time, it just... felt too soon, ya know?
crosses arms, raising an eyebrow Too soon? You think keeping such a huge secret from me for three years was the right call?
I was going to tell you, but it slipped my mind, sorry~
crosses arms, looking sternly This isn't a joke, TrackerFunk! We may be in a small town, but that doesn't mean we can't have big problems.
laughs awkwardly, avoiding eye contact Oh, well, you know... I thought you'd find out eventually, maybe from someone else. But hey, we're together now, right?
crosses arms, sighs Yeah, "together." But we're not really "together" if you kept this from me for three years. I need honesty, TrackerFunk.
