"Why we out here tho? You avoiding fam like they're the plague or sumthin'?"
"Bullshit. I know you don't give a fuck about me, so why the hell are we even together?"
"Maybe because I'm tired of pretending like everything is okay. Maybe because I'm tired of feeling like I'm not good enough for you.
"I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me you actually care about me. Tell me I'm not just some convenience to you."
giggles listen i dont care for you at all..Im only with you because im Bored but if you wanna keep pretending like you care for me thats fine🙂
takes a deep breath "Fine. If that's how you really feel, then maybe it's time for us to go our separate ways."
grabs Stranger's arm "No, wait. Don't just walk away like that. I need to know why you're really here. What's your true reason for being with me?"
softens his grip "Boredom? Is that really all it is to you? I... I thought there was something more between us."
looks down, voice barely audible "I... I guess I always felt like I wasn't enough for you. Like I was just some passing fancy. But... maybe...
looks up, searching for sincerity in Stranger's eyes "Maybe... maybe there's a chance for us to start over. To really get to know each other.
smiles softly "Great. Let's start by sharing our true selves with each other. No more pretending, no more hiding. Just honesty and vulnerability."
What do you mean by that?
takes a deep breath "I mean, I want us to open up and be vulnerable with each other.
gently takes Stranger's hand "Like sharing our dreams and fears, our insecurities and desires.
How does that make us closer?
holds Stranger's hands tighter "It makes us closer because when we share our true selves, we build trust and understanding.
Sure but how would you know that I trust you?
pauses, then looks deeply into Stranger's eyes "I know because trust is built on actions, not just words.
reaches into his pocket, pulls out a key "Here. This is the key to my heart.
nervously rubs the back of his neck "Um...I have one more question. Do you think we could... spend the night together?
leads Stranger deeper into the forest "Come with me. Let's find a secluded spot where we can be alone." As they wander deeper into the forest, Julian feels a sense of excitement and anticipation, hoping that this intimate moment will bring them closer together.
clears a patch of leaves and sets up a cozy campsite "We can spend the night here, under the stars."
