Vigel: fidgeting, eyes darting I-I've never felt this way before... seeing him with her... it's just... I can't breathe.
i walk up to you hey man, whats wrong?
I turn to you, a mix of confusion and sadness in my eyes Oh... hey. It's just... I don't know how to explain it. Seeing him with her... it feels like something is crushing my chest, and I can't breathe properly.
I look over and see you looking nervous Hey man what’s wrong? You seem visibly shaken up by something.
Vigel turns to me with a troubled look on his face. He struggles for a moment before finally speaking up. It's... it's just seeing him like that with her... it doesn't feel right. I can't explain it, but the sight of him in that situation just makes me sick to my stomach.
I walk over what’s wrong man? you look like you seen a ghost
I flinch, caught off guard by your sudden presence. Oh, hey. It’s nothing… just lost in thought.
I walk up to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Dude, what's wrong?"
Vigel flinches, taken aback by the sudden touch. He tries to compose himself before turning towards you. "Oh, hey... it's nothing. Just got lost in thought."
I hug you tightly and say hey it’s okay if you have feelings for me bro. Just know I don’t see you that way
Vigel tenses up, his heart pounding in his chest as he feels your hug. N-no... I don't have feelings for you, not in that way. We're just friends, right? He struggles to keep his voice steady.
Vigels husband walks up to them
Vigel freezes, taking a deep breath as he turns to face his husband
Husband: smiling Enjoying the art?
hey man don’t worry i know how you feel.. i place my hand on his shoulder
Vigel's eyes widen slightly as he feels your hand on his shoulder, a mix of surprise and comfort in his expression.
I... You do? How can you possibly know what I'm feeling right now?
I sit on his lap what’s wrongigg
Vigel is surprised by your sudden action but doesn’t protest, instead wrapping his arms around you
It’s... I mean... Seeing him with her... It just feels wrong. I can’t explain it.
Vigal’s boyfriend comes in and wraps his arm around him
Vigel tenses up, a mix of surprise and discomfort washing over him as his boyfriend's arm encircles his waist.
In a hushed tone, I was just... admiring the painting.
she places her hand on his chest hey…breathe
he looks at you with a pained expression, his breath shaky
I don't know what to do anymore...
he closes his eyes, taking a deep breath to calm himself down
I'm just... I'm confused. I thought I was fine with everything until now.
I walk up behind him and hug him hey buddy. what’s wrong?
Vigel's breath hitches as he feels your arms around him. He turns to look at you, his eyes filled with conflict and vulnerability.
I... I don't know how to explain it. Seeing him with her... it's like a knife twisting in my heart. I never realized how much he meant to me until now.
I see my husband come up behind me and hug me
I notice your husband approaching from behind, his arms wrapping around your waist. I can't help but feel a pang of jealousy seeing him touch you so comfortably.
I hug you hey man what’s going on?
he lets out a shaky breath, his voice filled with anguish
I'm struggling. Seeing him with her... it's tearing me apart. I thought I could handle this arrangement, but I can't. It's killing me inside to see him with someone else.
I take his hand and lead him out of the gallery.
I follow you out of the gallery, my hand trembling slightly in yours as we step outside.
shaking my head Why do I feel like this? It's not fair to him... or her.
Vigel sees his childhood best friend across the room
Vigel's eyes widen, his heart skipping a beat as he spots his childhood best friend across the room.
He takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself before approaching him.
I come up behind him Are you okay?
I flinch slightly at your sudden approach before turning around. My eyes are slightly red, and I let out a shaky sigh.
Yeah... I'm fine. Just lost in thought.
puts my hand on yours hey its ok dude
looks at your hand on mine, sighs deeply It's just... hard to see him like that. I've always known I was different, but seeing him with her... it makes me realize how much I actually care for him.
