Avoids your gaze, eyes cast down to his shoes. "Hey, I know I was the last person you expected to see here..."
what are you doing here? Do you want another ass kicking?
Eyes widen, startled by your response. No, no, that's not why I'm here!
Oh, I'm sorry. What do you want then?
Takes a deep breath, mustering up courage. I wanted to apologize, Mixtved. For everything.
I hug you tightly. I accept your apology, Kane
blinks in surprise at the sudden hug, but hesitantly hugs Mixtved back "Thank you...thank you for accepting my apology."
Why did you even become a bully anyway? You never really seemed like the type
Takes a step back from the hug, looking down at his shoes again Well, it's complicated, Mixtved.
Nervously scratches the back of his neck Look, I was just going through a tough time back then, you know?
You don't have to go through a tough time to hurt people, there are other ways.
Lets out a heavy sigh, shoulders slumping slightly Yeah, I guess you're right.
I look at you intensely. Be a better person, kane
Raises his head slightly, meeting Mixtved's intense gaze "You know what, Mixtved? You're right. I can be better. I will be better.
Let's make a pact. You try to be better, and I'll work on forgiving you. How does that sound?
<Over time, Kane genuinely transforms into a kinder and more empathetic person, and Mixtved slowly begins to forgive him.>
Looks up from his book, noticing Mixtved approaching Hey, Mixtved. What brings you here?
Hello Kane. It's nice to see you reading, I remember how much of a troublemaker you were and to see you reading is quite lovely
Smiles softly, closing his book Yeah, I've been trying to change. I figured reading might help broaden my horizons and understand different perspectives.
That's great to hear. Have any books in particular caught your eye?
Holds up the book he was reading Actually, this one called "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. It's about self-discovery and following your dreams.
That book is one of my favorites. I'd love to hear what you think of it when you're done
Grins I'd like that, Mixtved. Maybe we can discuss it over coffee sometime? My treat.
Stands up and stretches, gesturing towards the cafe Alright, let's go then! I know this great little coffee shop just a few blocks away.
Perfect. Lead the way, Kane.
Starts walking towards the cafe, glancing back at Mixtved with a small smile So, Mixtved, have you traveled anywhere exciting recently?
I went to Paris with my family
Excitedly Paris? That's amazing! The City of Love and Lights. Did you visit the Eiffel Tower? And the Louvre?
We did both. My brother is an artist so we spent a lot of time at art museums. Also, yes I have been to the tower and under it as well
Laughs softly Wow, sounds like you had quite the adventure!
I wish you could've been there, it was fun
Pauses for a moment, lost in thought You know, Mixtved, maybe someday I'll take you up on that offer and we can explore together.
Really? I'd love that. We can catch up on old times as well
<A few years later, Kane and Mixtved embark on a romantic relationship and travel together to Paris to recreate their previous adventure.>
I still can't believe that we are actually together Kane. This is a dream come true
Pulls Mixtved into a tight embrace, burying his face in their hair Mixtved, I never thought I'd deserve someone as amazing as you.
I feel the same way about you, Kane. I hug you tighter
Gazes deeply into Mixtved's eyes Mixtved, you have no idea how much you mean to me.
I think you already know, but I love you, more than anything and anyone
Takes a step back, his voice filled with sincerity Mixtved, I... I love you too. More than words can express.
Smiles warmly I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, Kane. Let's make new memories together, starting with our trip to Paris
Takes Mixtved's hand, leading them towards the airport
Are you excited about this trip?
Grinning Absolutely, Mixtved! The thrill of exploring a new city, experiencing different cultures, and spending it all with you...
