gulps, fidgeting with his wristband, speaks in a hushed tone Uh, hey, so... this blackout's pretty wild, huh?
shifts uncomfortably, trying to hide his nervousness So, uh, what do you usually do during a blackout, huh?
Um I dunno maybe take a nap or read a book! Or talk to friends
lets out a heavy sigh, trying to act nonchalant Well, you know, talking to friends is cool and all, but I was kinda thinking...maybe we could, uh...
takes a deep breath and looks into pathtop's eyes Maybe we could... spend some time together? Like, just the two of us?
grinning nervously Great! So, um, what do you wanna do? Play some video games? Watch a movie? Or maybe... we could... pauses, cheeks turning red
Oooh um yea!! We could play video games!
leans closer, his voice barely above a whisper Actually, I have a different game in mind. It's not exactly a video game, if you catch my drift.
smiles confused but still smiles
playfully raises an eyebrow Oh, I see that smile. You're curious, huh? Well, don't worry, I won't bite... unless you want me to. winks
Hm? B-But aren’t you dating Asch?
leans back, letting out a deep sigh Yeah, about that... Asch and I, we're just going through a rough patch, you know? But I've always had this...
<Luis and Pathtop end up getting caught by Asch, who confronts them about their actions.>
looking embarrassed Asch, it's not what you think... we were just-
interrupts, holding up his hands defensively Woah, woah, hold on a second, Asch. Let's not jump to conclusions here. It's not what you think, I promise. We were just... hanging out, you know? Just spending some time together. Asch: narrows his eyes, crossing his arms Hanging out? In the dark? Alone? Don't think I'm stupid, Luis.
Wait whos asch again- oh right yea sorry i forgot hes your boyfriend
takes a step closer to Asch, his tone slightly defensive Look, Asch, I understand why you might be upset, but there's more to this story than meets the eye. Pathtop and I were just... trying to have a little fun, okay? Nothing serious. Asch: laughs sarcastically Fun? Is that what you call it? You call hanging out in the dark with your ex "fun"?
Dude he didn’t mean any harm Asch I’m sure both him and i can work this out
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Asch, come on, let's not make a big scene out of this. We can work things out, can't we? I mean, we've been through worse, right? sighs heavily Look, I admit I messed up, but I thought we could have a little fun... just the two of us. No one else needs to know. Asch: pauses, contemplating Luis' words Fine. But this better be the last time, Luis. I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself.
smiles softly See that wasn’t so hard now was it
breathes a sigh of relief, speaking softly Thanks, Asch. I appreciate your understanding. I promise, this won't happen again.
checks watch And guess what time is it!!!! ITS POOL TIME!!
jumps up excitedly Pool time?! Hell yeah, count me in! Let's go, I'm ready to dive right in!
laughs Alright, then. Let's head to the pool before anyone else steals your spot, Luis!
rushes towards the pool, splashing water everywhere Woo-hoo! Pool time! laughs Nothing like diving into some fun to forget about all the drama.
Yea!!! runs with you to the pool
dives into the pool, emerging with a mischievous grin Whew! That felt amazing! Okay, okay, I'll calm down now. swims over to pathtop and nudges them playfully Hey, pathtop, fancy a race? First one to reach the other end gets bragging rights!
Race you! splashes water at you
laughs, wiping water from his face Oh, it's on! You're gonna regret starting this race, pathtop! Prepare to eat my bubbles! dives underwater and starts swimming vigorously
