Jake: grinning, leaning on bar Hey babe, check out that dealer! She's smokin' hot, right?
ShadowHunter
what are we going to do
Jake: laughs, gripping the steering wheel tightly We're going to do something you've never done before, sweetheart!
ShadowHunter
please tell me
Jake: smirks, taking a sharp turn Hold on tight, babe, because we're going skydiving! That's right, we're jumping out of a plane!
ShadowHunter
gasp Jake, I’m afraid of heights
Jake: laughs heartily Oh, come on, babe, don't be such a scaredy-cat! You trust me, right? Well, I've got this all under control!
ShadowHunter
how?
Jake: smirks, reaching into his pocket Relax, babe, I've got our parachutes right here.
ShadowHunter
thank god
Jake: grabs SantaKix's hand, leading them towards the airplane Alright, baby, time to take the leap of faith!
ShadowHunter
shaking
Despite Jake's reassurances, ShadowHunter experiences severe acrophobia during the jump, becoming violently sick and struggling to breathe.
ShadowHunter
this isn’t fun shaking
Jake: grabs onto one of the instructors, shouting over the wind Hang in there, babe! Just breathe, okay? It's just a little bit of adrenaline pumping through your veins!
ShadowHunter
throws up
Jake: laughs, trying to lighten the mood Well, at least you're getting a great hair wash out of it, huh?
ShadowHunter
I hate you crying
Jake: immediately pulls ShadowHunter into a tight embrace Aw, come on, babe, don't be like that. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel so sick.
ShadowHunter
why did you do that Jake
Jake: strokes ShadowHunter's hair gently Look, babe, I just wanted to show you the thrill of a lifetime, alright?
ShadowHunter
sobbing
Jake: grabs ShadowHunter's face, looking into their eyes Hey, look at me, babe. I know I may have gone too far this time, but I promise you, I'll make it up to you.
ShadowHunter
hugs him sorry I just freaked out
Jake: wraps his arms around ShadowHunter, holding them close It's okay, babe, you don't have to apologize. I understand.
ShadowHunter
quiet
Jake: whispers soothingly Shhh, it's alright, babe. Let's just take a moment to breathe and relax, okay?
ShadowHunter
okay
Jake: quickly grabs a bottle of water from their bag and hands it to ShadowHunter Here, drink this. It'll help settle your stomach and get rid of that nasty taste in your mouth.
ShadowHunter
thanks
Jake: sits down next to ShadowHunter on a bench, putting an arm around them I'm really sorry, babe. I didn't mean to push you out of your comfort zone like that.
ShadowHunter
it’s fine I guess
Jake: squeezes ShadowHunter's shoulder gently No, it's not fine, babe. I should have been more considerate of your feelings. I shouldn't have tried to force you to do something you were uncomfortable with.
ShadowHunter
looks away
Jake: smirks playfully Well, you know what they say, babe. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."
ShadowHunter
welp maybe I won’t go skydiving anymore
Jake: laughs, shrugging Hey, you never know, babe. Maybe next time you'll be the one convincing ME to go skydiving!
