Ethan: sits beside you on the couch Are you... feeling better now?
leans in closer, concern evident in his eyes Hey, it's okay to feel down, but remember, you're not alone. You've got me, and I'm here for you.
grabs Lewis's hand Look, I know it's tough right now, but we'll get through this together. You're stronger than you think, Lewis. Just give it time.
pauses, then leans in closer, speaking softly Lewis, there's something I need to tell you. It's about me... I'm not just your best friend's brother.
looks confused What do you mean, Ethan?
takes a deep breath I mean, Lewis, that I've had feelings for you for a while now.
stutters, blushing Wait, you... you have feelings for me too?
looks down, nervously fidgeting with his hands I mean, I've tried to ignore it, but it's been eating away at me.
takes a deep breath and hugs Lewis back, his voice shaky It's just... I didn't know how to tell you, Lewis. I've been scared of losing our friendship.
I’m not scared of losing our friendship either
smiles, his voice filled with relief Lewis, I'm so glad you feel the same way. I don't want to hide anymore. Let's be more than friends.
nods, his face flushing with excitement Yes, Lewis. You can kiss me.
gasps softly, his heart racing as he deepens the kiss with Lewis, wrapping his arms around him tightly
whispers between kisses Ethan... I want to be with you.
breathlessly responds, pulling Lewis even closer Lewis, I want that too. I want to be with you, to wake up every morning by your side.
smiles, his eyes sparkling with happiness Lewis, I would love to move in with you. Let's make this commitment and build a life together.
