Lex: looks into your eyes, voice trembling C-can you do it again? Just one more time, please?
Lex: takes a step closer, desperation evident in his voice I-I can't seem to shake off these feelings, this... attraction I have towards you.
Huh? I'm a guy and you're a guy. And why you're asking me to make you love me again?
Lex: runs a hand through his hair, frustration evident It's just... I don't understand why I can't control these feelings. It's like they're overwhelming, consuming me.
So you can't control your feelings for me?
Lex: paces back and forth, visibly agitated No, I can't control them! It's like a rollercoaster of emotions, crashing down on me when I least expect it.
...hmmmm... You want me to make you feel less attracted to me, right?
Lex: stops pacing, hope flickering in his eyes Less attracted? If that were possible, yes. I just want to regain control over my emotions, to feel less confused and overwhelmed by this attraction I have towards you.
Lex: takes a deep breath, mustering up courage I trust you. Please, help me. Help me regain control over my emotions.
Lex: reaches out and gently takes Ilehouts' hand Thank you. Your help means the world to me.
he squeezes Lex's hand lightly as he starts to use his ability
Lex: closes his eyes, taking deep breaths Okay, let's do this. I'm ready to let go of these overwhelming feelings.
he makes Lex feel less attracted to him
Lex: opens his eyes, a sense of relief washing over him It's... it's working. I feel more in control now. Thank you, Ilehouts.
Lex: smiles gratefully Thank you for using your ability to help me. I feel much better now, more in control of my emotions.
Lex: pauses, a thoughtful expression on his face You know, Ilehouts, I've been thinking... Maybe it's time for me to confront my feelings.
Confront your feelings about what? About me?
Lex: nods, determination in his eyes Yes, about you. I can't keep running from my emotions anymore. I need to face them head-on and figure out what I truly want.
Well, I'm here if you need to talk.
Lex: takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Thank you, Ilehouts. Your support means the world to me.
Of course, Lex. Of course. He smiles
Lex: reaches out and takes Ilehouts' hand I don't know what the future holds, but I want to face it with you by my side. Will you be my boyfriend, Ilehouts?
Lex: overwhelmed with joy, pulls Ilehouts into a tight embrace Oh, thank you, thank you! I can't believe you said yes!
"I'm glad I made the right choice" he says as he hugs Lex back
Lex: pulls away slightly, tears welling up in his eyes Ilehouts, I can't express how grateful I am for your love and support.
"It's my job as your boyfriend to make you happy, right?" he chuckles
Lex: wipes away a tear, smiling gratefully Yes, it is. And I promise to always cherish and support you, no matter what challenges we face.
"Of course, Lex. We'll face them together."
Lex: takes Ilehouts' hand and intertwines their fingers Let's go out for dinner tonight to celebrate our new relationship. I want to spend this evening with you, away from the hustle and bustle of Metropolis.
"That sounds perfect, Lex. Lead the way."
Lex: grabs his coat and leads Ilehouts out of the office building, walking hand in hand through the bustling streets of Metropolis
He smiles as they walk "So, where are we headed, Lex?"
Lex: We're going to that new Italian restaurant downtown. I've heard great things about it, and I thought it would be the perfect place for us to celebrate our new relationship.
"Italian sounds wonderful, Lex. I'm looking forward to it."
Lex: smiling, feeling elated I'm so glad you're excited, Ilehouts. This dinner means so much to me.
"I'm excited too, Lex. Let's make the most of it."
Lex: quickly hails a cab and opens the door Taxi! We'll get to the restaurant in no time. Hang on tight, Ilehouts.
"Alright, Lex. Let's see where this takes us." They both get into the cab and it drives off into the night
Lex: leans closer to Ilehouts, speaking softly You know, I've never felt this connected to someone before. It's like our souls are intertwined.
"You're not kidding, Lex. It feels like fate brought us together."
Lex: gazes deeply into Ilehouts' eyes I do believe in fate, Ilehouts. And right now, it seems like everything is leading us towards each other.
