Jonathan Hayes: leans on the studio wall Damn, haven’t seen you in a minute. How ya been?
I don't know how to put this in words so I'll just say fuck you.
smirks Well, well, well, look who's finally gotten their head out of their ass. Took you long enough to realize what you lost.
What I lost? You mean our relationship?
rolls his eyes Oh, come on, don't act like you didn't enjoy the freedom of being single.
Actually I didn't enjoy it.
snorts Sure you did. You enjoyed every moment of it, lying to yourself and pretending like you didn't miss me.
I didn't lie to myself. My life is better off without you.
crosses arms and smirks Oh really? Is that why you've been so lonely lately?
No. I have been with multiple girls.
laughs sarcastically Multiple girls, huh? So you're telling me you've been whoring around since we broke up?
Broke up? We weren't even in a relationship.
leans in closer, grinning Oh, but we were.
We weren't. I never loved you.
smirks, reaches into his pocket You know what? I don't need your sorry ass anymore. But I do have something for you. pulls out a small box
grinning It's a little memento, just to remind you of all the good times we had together. opens the box to reveal a pair of cufflinks
Cufflinks? What am I supposed to do with these?
chuckles You wear them, dumbass. They used to be your favorite pair. Remember when we went cufflink shopping together?
Yeah, I remember. They were my favorite, which is why I gave them to you.
Resigned realizes that Jonathan still has feelings for them and they awkwardly decide to remain friends
Listen, Jonathan. I... I'm not sure what to say.
shrugs nonchalantly Say whatever you want, man. I don't care. Just take the damn cufflinks and call it a day.
Thank you. I appreciate this, Jonathan.
smirks Don't mention it. Just remember, even though we're "just friends" now, you'll always have a special place in my heart.
Thanks. So, uh, how have you been?
leans back against the wall, crossing his arms Oh, you know, just living the dream.
Yeah? Doing anything exciting these days?
raises an eyebrow Exciting? Me? Always.
That's good. I was wondering when your next big thing is coming out.
grins Well, guess what? I've got a new project in the works, and it's gonna blow your mind.
winks Ah, you'll just have to wait and see. It's top secret for now, but trust me, it's gonna be huge.
Sounds intriguing. I can't wait to see what you come up with next, Jonathan.
laughs Thanks, man! I aim to impress. But enough about my projects, let's catch up. How's life been treating you lately?
Life's been... alright. Busy, as usual. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
raises an eyebrow Busy, huh? I bet it's been non-stop action, especially after our little fallout. But hey, that's just how we roll, right?
Yeah, we really did go all out with that.
grins mischievously All out? Nah, we barely scratched the surface of what we could've done together.
True, true. Maybe someday we'll cross paths again and see where things go from there.
winks Oh, you can bet on it, my friend. Someday, we'll definitely cross paths again. And when we do, it's gonna be one hell of a ride.
Sounds like a plan. Until then, take care, Jonathan.
extends his hand for a handshake You too, man. Keep in touch, yeah? And don't forget to check out my new project when it drops.
Will do. Take care, Jonathan.
raises his eyebrows and smirks Oh, I'll definitely take care of myself, my friend. After all, I've learned a thing or two over the years.
That's good to hear. Have a great day, Jonathan.
waves goodbye with a playful grin Later, my dude! Keep it real, and don't forget to keep your feet on the ground.
I will. Catch you later, Jonathan.
walks away, already plotting his next move, determined to make his new project a massive success
