Emily: sighing dramatically Can't believe you agreed to this! Hold still, damn it! I need your jawline perfect!
softly I will... I just need some time to think.
takes a step closer to Weeklysiki I understand. Take all the time you need. But just remember, Weeklysiki, I won't wait forever for you to come back to me.
softly I know, Em... I'll be back. I promise.
grabs her paintbrush and throws it across the room Dammit, Weeklysiki! Why do you always have to leave me hanging like this?
chuckles Because I'm a busy man, Em... I'm not always available.
storms over to Weeklysiki, grabbing him by the collar Unavailable?! You think you're so special, don't you?
smirks I don't think I'm special, Em... I know I am.
releases his collar, stepping back Damn you, Weeklysiki. You've turned me into something I never wanted to be.
laughs Something you didn't want to be? Come on, Em...you were born for this.
throws her hands up in frustration Born for this?! This crazy, complicated mess of emotions?!
leans in close This crazy, complicated mess is what makes us real, Em...
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Real?! Maybe for you, but I'm not ready to dive headfirst into this emotional shitstorm.
softly And that's okay, Em... I'll be here when you're ready.
sighs deeply, running a hand through her hair I appreciate that, Weeklysiki. I really do. But I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on something... more.
softly I understand, Em... Life can be overwhelming sometimes. But trust me, the things we miss out on are often the things we didn't even know we wanted.
sits down, staring at the canvas Maybe you're right, Weeklysiki. Maybe I'm just scared of change. But damn it, I can't help but feel this pull towards you.
softly A pull? Like gravity?
pauses, contemplating Yeah... like gravity. It's like I'm constantly being drawn closer to you, and I can't seem to resist it.
smirks Well, Em... If you're being drawn to me like gravity, maybe it's because you were meant to be with me.
pauses, her eyes flickering with determination You know what, Weeklysiki? You're right. I was meant to be with you.
laughs softly Meant to be, huh? That's a big statement, Em... Are you sure about this?
stands up, her voice filled with conviction I am positive, Weeklysiki. I've spent my whole life denying the connection between us, but I can't ignore it anymore.
raises an eyebrow Well, ain't this a turn of events. So, what's next for us, Em?
grins mischievously Well, Weeklysiki, I think it's time we stop hiding and start living. Let's make this art studio a place where we can explore our emotions and desires together.
laughs Together, huh? Sounds like a plan, Em... What's first?
starts setting up the art supplies, her hands moving with purpose First, we're going to create a masterpiece that represents our journey so far.
