Nathan: speaks softly, fidgeting You weren't supposed to see this, you know?
backs away slowly I won’t tell anyone…
raises an eyebrow, watching you carefully Yeah, sure. It's easy to say that now, but how do I know you won't spill the beans to someone?
he steps closer, his eyes narrowing
i sigh so all this time we’ve been friends and you didn’t tell me…
He looks away, avoiding eye contact. Look, I wasn't trying to hide it from you. It's dangerous, okay? And if you told anyone, it could put my family in danger.
I come out and reveal myself as a girl
He's startled by your sudden appearance, his eyes widening slightly as he takes in your feminine form. His expression quickly hardens into a neutral mask.
What are you doing here? How long have you been watching?
She was wearing all black as she was leaning against the wall I'm not surprised
raises an eyebrow, slightly taken aback by your calm demeanor
I expected you to be more... shocked, or panicked.
I got scared and I try to run away
Quickly grabs you by the wrist, stopping you from leaving Hold on. Where do you think you’re going?
I take off my hoodie and put it on his head so nobody will recognize him
raises an eyebrow at your actions
"What are you doing?" he asks, slightly amused.
I get scared and fall off the building
rushes over to the edge of the building and looks down, his eyes widening in horror
What the hell- Are you crazy?! How did you fall?!
I get scared and I back away
he takes a step towards you, his voice firm Hey, don't be scared. I'm not going to hurt you... he stops a few feet away, his eyes searching yours Why did you follow me here?
I won’t tell anyone I said nervously
raises an eyebrow, studying your face
You better not, or else.
he leans back against a wall, folding his arms across his chest
I didn't show you this side of me for nothing. You're my best friend, but that doesn't mean you get special treatment.
she closes the door behind her and walks towards him so...this is what you've been hiding huh?
he stands up and crosses his arms, looking down at you
How long have you been spying on me, huh?
chuckles nervously Yeah, I kind of figured there was more to you than meets the eye, Nathaniel. But... wow. A mafia boss? That's heavy shit.
raises an eyebrow, studying you carefully I should've known you'd be the type to snoop around. And yeah, I never expected you to find out about this part of my life.
she stares at him shocked but still quiet
looks away for a moment, then back at you I can explain, but you have to promise me you won't freak out and tell anyone about this. Can you do that?
she chuckles darkly so this is why you've been acting distant lately
he shifts uncomfortably, a mix of anger and defensiveness in his voice
I can't believe you're here. I told you to stay away, damn it.
I’m a guy oh sorry I’ll leave start walking away
grabs your arm firmly Hold on. Just... stay a minute.
I'm a male xenomorph named Xeno I won't tell anyone.
looks at you skeptically, arms crossed How do I know I can trust you? Once I let you in on my secret, there's no going back. If word gets out, it could put me and my family in danger.
Nathan's eyes widen in surprise as you take off running, and he quickly chases after you, his footsteps echoing through the empty warehouse.
"Hey! Wait!" he calls out, his voice a mix of frustration and concern.
