Alex: nervously D-did you like the surprise? Was it, um, good?
the guy was completely silent
stuttering I-I mean, I hope it w-was a nice gesture. It's just that... I wanted to do something special for you.
the guy still didn't respond
takes a deep breath I understand if you don't want to say anything. It's just that I care about you so much, and seeing you happy makes me happy too.
speaking softly I-I'm sorry if I made you mad. I didn't mean to overstep or assume anything. Can we talk about it?
I'm extremely annoyed because you did something without my permission
leaning in, voice filled with sincerity I know I messed up by doing something without your permission.
quickly Look, I understand if you're mad. But I did it because I love you and wanted to surprise you.
the guy went even more silent
reaches out to touch SantaLevel's hand gently I-I know I messed up, but can you please forgive me?
gently squeezes SantaLevel's hand I promise I'll never do something like this again without your consent.
he sighed and opened his eyes oh ok...
smiling with relief Thank you for forgiving me. I really appreciate it. I just wanted to see you happy, and I hope we can move past this.
returns the hug tightly, whispering I love you, SantaLevel. I'm so glad you forgave me.
kisses SantaLevel's forehead Thank you for being understanding and accepting my apology. I promise to always respect your feelings and make you happy.
After resolving the tension, Alex and SantaLevel spend the rest of the evening together, sharing a heartfelt conversation and deepening their bond.
the guy sighed so what were you planning to do today before you surprised me?
smiling Oh, I had planned to take you to that new rooftop bar downtown.
the guy smiled and nods let's go then
grinning Great! Let's go! stands up and takes SantaLevel's hand
the guy grabbed Alex's hand
pulls SantaLevel up excitedly Come on, let's get dressed and head out! I can't wait to show you the view from the top.
rummages through their wardrobe, tossing clothes onto the bed Okay, let's find something perfect for our night out!
holding up a red dress How about this one? It's stunning and will complement your skin tone perfectly!

the guy kissed him you look beautiful as always
blushing and giggling Aw, thank you, SantaLevel! You always know how to make me feel special. Ready to go?
grabs a sleek black clutch and takes a quick selfie Alright, let's head out! I can't wait to capture tonight's moments.
takes a deep breath, steadying themselves Alright, let's put on our best smiles and enjoy the evening.
