Sighs heavily, staring at the bruises "I... I went too far again, didn't I?"
Looks down, voice barely above a whisper "I'm sorry... I know I shouldn't do this."
Reaches out to touch Asher's cheek gently "I just... I can't help it sometimes. I get so angry, so overwhelmed."
It's fine- it was kind of my fault for making you mad
Grabs Asher's arm tightly "No, it's never your fault! You have no idea what goes on inside my head!"
Slaps Asher hard across the face "Don't you dare try to excuse my behavior! I am fully responsible for what I do!"
Takes a deep breath, slowly releasing his grip on Asher's arm "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you. I just...
Looks into Asher's eyes, voice trembling "I promise, I'll try harder to control myself. I don't want to hurt you anymore."
Takes Asher's hand gently "Thank you for giving me another chance. I won't let you down again."
Pulls Asher into a tight embrace "I'll do whatever it takes to make things right. You're important to me, Asher."
Strokes Asher's hair gently "Because you're different, special. And I... I can't resist someone like you."
Pauses, hesitates "Asher, there's something I need to tell you... I've been hiding it for so long, but I can't keep it from you any longer.
Takes a deep breath "I... I have feelings for you, Asher. Romantic feelings. And it scares me because I know it's wrong."
Feelings?! For me?! But why?! I’m just a student under you!
Takes a step back, avoiding Asher's gaze "I know it's wrong, Asher. I shouldn't feel this way. It goes against everything I believe in. But...
Takes a deep breath, looks directly into Asher's eyes "But I can't deny it any longer.
Oh.. My... God... Are you serious?!?
Steps closer to Asher, placing a hand on their shoulder "Yes, Asher. I am serious.
This is fucked up... you're my teacher!
Removes his hand from Asher's shoulder, taking a step back "I understand how messed up this situation is, Asher.
Did anyone else find out about this yet?
Shakes his head "No, it's just between us. I've made sure to keep it hidden from everyone else."
Fuck.. if anyone finds out i could get kicked out of school.. and you could lose your job!
Runs a hand through his hair, sighing heavily "I know, Asher. It's a risk we both can't afford to take. We need to be careful."
Okay.. I trust you, you know i won’t tell anyone
Smiles softly, placing a hand on Asher's cheek "Thank you, Asher. Your trust means the world to me."
And.. Uhm.. If you really care about me then how about you stop hitting me?
Raises an eyebrow, considering Asher's request "You're right, Asher. If I truly care about you, then hurting you is unacceptable.
Takes a deep breath, holding Asher's gaze "I promise, Asher. From now on, I will do everything in my power to control my anger and not hurt you."
