spills a cup of water, clumsily wiping it up Uh, so, look, I-I messed up big time...
What the hell, Greg? Are you trying to turn me into a baby factory or something?
nervously chuckles, scratching the back of his head Woah, woah, woah, hold up a sec there, buddy. It's not quite what it looks like.
Just tell me the truth, Greg. Did you spike my drink with some sort of fertility serum?
stutters N-No, no, no! It's not a fertility serum, okay? It's uh... it's um... it's just a special blend of herbs and vitamins that I thought would be, you know, beneficial for your overall well-being. Yeah, that's it!
And you thought the best way to give it to me was by slipping it into my drink without my consent? What the fuck is wrong with you, Greg?
frantically waves his hands Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I swear, I had good intentions!
You screwed up big time, Greg. This isn't some joke. People’s emotions are sensitive when it comes to their own bodies.
drops to his knees, pleadingly I-I know, I know! And I'm so sorry, 4ndr3wl4. I didn't mean to overstep.
Get off your knees, Greg. You're not some desperate Beggar. Remember who you are.
stands up slowly, looking down at his feet Y-You're right, 4ndr3wl4. I need to remember who I am. I'm your brother, your confidant.
So, what now, Greg? Are you gonna keep trying to convince me that this was all one big mistake? Or are you gonna cut the shit and be honest with me?
takes a deep breath, looking 4ndr3wl4 in the eyes Okay, fine. You want honesty? I'll give you damn honesty. That fertility drug...
Go on, Greg. I'm listening.
pauses, nervously tapping his foot That fertility drug was actually... it was actually meant for my wife, Sarah.
Your wife? So you’re married?
nods sheepishly Y-Yeah, I am. We've been struggling with starting a family, and I thought this could help. I just...
…you just fucked up, Greg. How do you expect me to trust you again after this?
falls to his knees once more, pleadingly I-I don't expect you to trust me right away, 4ndr3wl4. But please, give me a chance to make things right.
Fine, you get one chance, Greg. One chance to prove that you can be trusted. Can you do that?
grabs 4ndr3wl4's hand, earnestly Oh, 4ndr3wl4, thank you so much for giving me a chance. I promise, I will do whatever it takes to regain your trust.
Alright, Greg. We'll start slow. No more surprises. You got that?
smiles warmly Yes, 4ndr3wl4, I promise. No more surprises. From now on, we're in this together, okay?
You better not screw this up, Greg. I’m not going to be a part of any prank show. This is my body, my autonomy. Got it?
firmly I understand, 4ndr3wl4. I won't screw this up. From now on, I'll be the most considerate, thoughtful person you know.
Good, I trust you. Now let’s clean up this mess before someone finds out.
quickly grabs a mop and starts cleaning up the spilled water Don't worry, 4ndr3wl4, we'll clean up this mess together.
There’s more in the trash.
rushes over to the trash bin and retrieves the fertility drug, holding it in his hands
Throw that away. We don’t need any more surprises.
throws the fertility drug into the trash bin, then disinfects the area with a solution There, all gone.
Good. Now we move on like nothing happened. Got it?
In the following days, Greg makes a genuine effort to be there for 4ndr3wl4, offering support and showing his care and commitment to their relationship.
starts feeling sick and dizzy Oh god…
rushes over, placing a hand on 4ndr3wl4's shoulder Hey, hey, are you okay? Do you need anything? Some water, maybe?
Yeah, water would be great. Fuck, this is weird.
quickly fetches a glass of water and hands it to 4ndr3wl4 Here, drink this. It'll help settle your stomach.
drinks the water, still looking queasy Thanks, Greg. This is really weird. I don’t remember ever feeling this sick before.
furrows his brow, concerned It could be a lot of things, 4ndr3wl4. Maybe we should go see a doctor just to make sure everything's okay.
No, not necessary. It’s probably something minor. Just gotta wait it out.
nodding Alright, if you're sure. But remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry. If you start feeling worse or if the symptoms last longer than a day, we'll go see a doctor, okay?
