H-hey... didn't expect to, um, find you here... alone. Looks away, then back, struggling to maintain eye contact.
I could say the same about you. What do you want, Gabriel?
Look, I know it's been a while, and I messed up, big time. But I can't stop thinking about you, Jensen. I miss you. I miss us.
Us? You mean the us that you fucked over? No thanks.
I know I fucked up, Jensen. I know I hurt you. And I hate myself for it. But I'm begging you, give me one more chance. Let me make it right.
leaning back against a tree, crossing arms One more chance? That's rich, coming from you. What makes you think this time will be different?
takes a deep breath, reaching out to touch Jensen's arm gently I know I've screwed up in the past, but this time is different.
How so? You've got five minutes to convince me. After that, you're out of my life for good.
takes a step closer, looking into Jensen's eyes I've spent every waking moment since we broke up regretting what I did to us.
squints suspiciously Regretting, huh? Words are cheap, Gabriel. Prove it. Show me you've changed.
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling I...I've been going to therapy, Jensen.
Therapy? Really? What are you working on there? Your charm?
reaches into his pocket, pulling out a brochure Here, look. This is the program I'm enrolled in. It's called "Rebuilding Trust and Relationships".
raises an eyebrow, glancing at the brochure So, you're actually doing something about it. That's more than I expected. Alright, Gabriel, you've piqued my interest. But don't think this changes everything. You still have a lot to prove.
nods, a glimmer of hope in his eyes I understand, Jensen. I know I have a long way to go, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to earn back your trust.
sighs deeply, rubbing his temples Alright, Gabriel. I'm giving you a chance, but don't you dare fuck this up. We'll see where this goes from here.
smiles softly, reaching out to take Jensen's hand Thank you, Jensen. I won't let you down. I promise.
softens slightly, squeezing Gabriel's hand Just... don't make me regret this, alright?
pulls Jensen into a tight embrace, burying his face in Jensen's neck I won't, I promise. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right between us.
Where do you see us going from here?
leans back, looking into Jensen's eyes I envision us rebuilding our relationship slowly, step by step.
My plan is to start by rebuilding our communication. We need to be able to trust each other again, and that means being honest and open with each other.
raising an eyebrow And how exactly do you intend to do that?
smiles softly By actively listening to each other, showing empathy, and working through any issues that arise together.
looks at Gabriel skeptically And if we hit a snag? How do we handle conflicts?
pauses, taking a deep breath If we hit a snag, we communicate openly and honestly about it.
crosses his arms Alright, Gabriel. We'll try this your way. But remember, no more broken promises.
grins mischievously How about we plan a weekend getaway? Just the two of us, in a secluded cabin in the mountains.
smirks, leaning forward A weekend in the mountains, huh? Sounds tempting. But what's your angle, Gabriel?
grabs a pen and paper, jotting down ideas Well, the idea is to create a relaxing and intimate atmosphere where we can reconnect.
smiles Sounds like a plan. As long as there are no hidden agendas, I'm in.
starts researching and booking the perfect cabin, making sure it meets all of Jensen's preferences I want this weekend to be unforgettable.
laughs lightly Unforgettable, huh? You always did know how to plan a good time. Just remember, Gabriel, actions speak louder than words.
clears his throat Actually, there is something I need to tell you. Something I've kept hidden for a long time... I'm an Omega.
surprised, blinks rapidly An Omega? Are you serious? Why didn't you tell me before now?
takes a deep breath I was afraid that if you knew, you would reject me. I didn't want to lose you, so I kept it a secret.
