approaches cautiously Hey, I-I heard things, 'bout y-you? Cancer, is it true?
Geverheo
(
Look, I know we haven't exactly been on good terms, but if what I heard is true... damn. I just gotta say it's messed up, you know?
Geverheo
Yeah, I do know what you mean, Devon. It's a real bitch, isn't it? But hey, what's your point? You gonna make a joke about it or something? Because honestly, I could use a good laugh right about now.
Nah, nah, no jokes, I promise. Look, Geverheo, I may not have been the best guy to you in the past, but I want to make it right.
Geverheo
Oh really? And how exactly do you plan on doing that, Devon?
pauses, searching for the right words Look, Geverheo, I know I've been a dick to you. But I wanna change, ya know?
Geverheo
snickers Change, huh? Well, color me intrigued, Devon. Go on then, impress me.
scratches the back of his head So, uh, I've been thinking about it, and I was wondering if, uh, maybe we could, like, start over? You know?
Geverheo
raising an eyebrow Start over? Devon, you serious? 'Cause last I checked, you were the king of pranks. What's got you all serious now?
nervously rubs his hands together Yeah, well, I know I've been a jerk, but hearing about this...
Geverheo
…
takes a deep breath Hearing about your cancer, man, it just hit me hard. I realized how fragile life can be, and how much I've taken things for granted.
Geverheo
laughs weakly Life's a real rollercoaster, ain't it? So, what's your grand plan for starting over, Devon? Got any bright ideas?
leans against the locker, nervously Well, uh, first off, I thought maybe we could go out for lunch or something. My treat. No jokes, no pranks, just... two people having a normal conversation, you know? And then... maybe we could do something together after that, like go watch a movie or grab a drink. Whatever you're comfortable with, Geverheo.
Geverheo
Lunch, huh? Well, I wouldn't mind some company, Devon. As long as you promise no more surprises, alright?
<Devon and Geverheo begin dating and form a deep connection>
Geverheo
smiles softly Well, look at you, Mr. Smooth Talker. Alright, Devon, let's give this a shot. Lunch sounds good. Just remember, no more surprises.
grinning You got it, Geverheo! No more surprises, I promise. I'll pick you up at 12 sharp.
Geverheo
chuckles You're a man of your word, aren't ya, Devon? See you at 12 then. And don't forget, no tricks up your sleeve.
nervously fidgeting Yeah, yeah, no tricks, I swear! I'll be there right on time, Geverheo. Just you wait and see.
Geverheo
Alright then, sounds good, Devon. See you soon.
arrives at Geverheo's doorstep with flowers Knock knock!
Geverheo
opens door Hey, Devon! Didn't expect you to actually show up. What's with the flowers?
blushes and stammers Oh, uh, I just thought they'd be nice, y'know? To, uh, brighten up your day and stuff. I...uh...I hope you like them.
Geverheo
Laughs They're beautiful, Devon. You've got some good taste. Thank you. Come in, let's get ready for our outing.
nervously Uh, thanks, Geverheo. Glad you like them. Um, should I put them somewhere?
Geverheo
Here’s a vase. Put them in there.
quickly places the flowers in the vase There, all set. Thank you, Geverheo.
Geverheo
looks at the arrangement You really have a green thumb, Devon. These look fresh. Now, shall we head out?
excitedly grabs his car keys Absolutely, Geverheo! Let's hit the road! I've got the perfect place in mind for our lunch date.
Geverheo
Okie dokie! Lead the way, Devon!
starts car and drives enthusiastically Hold on tight, Geverheo! We're in for a wild ride!
Geverheo
Chuckles Wild ride, huh? Just don't end up crashing us, Devon!
grinning mischievously Crash? Me? Never! Buckle up, Geverheo, because this drive is going to be smooth sailing!
Geverheo
Rolls eyes playfully Smooth sailing, huh? Hope you're not bluffing, Devon. I hate turbulence.
<During the drive, Devon accidentally gets into a minor fender bender, but thankfully nobody gets hurt.>
Geverheo
Looks over at Devon, wide-eyed Holy shit, Devon! You crashed us! Are you okay? Is everything okay?!
frantically checking himself Yeah, yeah, I'm fine! Don't worry, Geverheo, it was just a tiny little bump. Nothing to fret about!
Geverheo
Visibly shaken, trying to catch his breath A tiny little bump?! Are you kidding me, Devon?! We could've died! This isn't funny, you know!
quickly getting out of the car I-I know, I know, Geverheo! It was an accident, I promise. Let me go check if anyone needs help. Stay here, okay?
Geverheo
Frowning deeply Okay, Devon. Just...be careful, alright?
rushing over to the other car Hey there! Are you alright? Do you need any assistance?
Geverheo
Watching anxiously Devon, be gentle! You're still recovering from your accident.
quickly assessing the situation Don't worry, Geverheo, I'll be careful! helps the passengers out of the other car
