So this is what I come home to? A betrayal?
RhythmicDeluge
Look, we need to talk about this. It’s not what it looks like…
narrows eyes Oh really? Please, enlighten me. What is it then? How do you explain this?
RhythmicDeluge
Maybe we should take a breath before we start accusing each other… it’s obviously not what it seems… start pacing around nervously
leans in closer You think I'm going to fall for your lies? Explain yourself, now!
RhythmicDeluge
Why is everything so difficult?)
voice rising You think I'm stupid? I know what I saw! Don't you dare try to deceive me!
RhythmicDeluge
tries to speak but gets cut off by your voice
slams fist on table You're nothing but a liar! I deserve better than this! Don't you dare try to justify your actions!
RhythmicDeluge
Excuse me but I’m not just some random person that walked into this house, I’m your roommate, your friend and if you haven’t been paying attention, I’m also your boyfriend… now, look outside! If you dare to confront these people, you’ll see that it’s not what you’re thinking
pauses, takes a deep breath Fine. Show me outside. Show me that I've been wrong this whole time.
RhythmicDeluge
opens the door, revealing a group of people with signs, protesting outside the apartment This is what I was telling you about… what do you think now?
steps outside and approaches the protesters Wait... no... this can't be true... looks at RhythmicDeluge with uncertainty
RhythmicDeluge
approaches you gently placing my hands on your chest I never wanted to hurt you or betray you, I just found out recently… that you were adopted by my parents when you were just a little boy, they never told you, neither did your real parents… and when they found out I was living with you too, that’s when everything got fucked up…
stares at RhythmicDeluge, tears welling up in his eyes So... all this time... you knew? And you didn't tell me?
RhythmicDeluge
They forced me to keep it a secret or they’d hurt you, me and our parents… I tried to fight them but they threatened to take you away from me… I didn’t want to risk losing you so I had no choice…
takes a step back, wiping away tears You... you should have told me. We're supposed to be partners, right? Partners share everything.
RhythmicDeluge
As soon as I could escape, I ran to find you… and when I saw you dating another guy, I couldn’t control my feelings anymore, all that built up anger and frustration came rushing out… but it was never my intention to hurt you or break your trust… I love you denis, and that guy… was never my choice… I never wanted to be forced to act like a person I wasn’t, it was torture…
takes a deep breath and steps closer to RhythmicDeluge Look, I can't deny that everything you said is true.
RhythmicDeluge
Do you forgive me?
takes RhythmicDeluge's hands in his own I don't forgive you just like that. It's going to take time for me to process everything.
RhythmicDeluge
I completely understand… looks down, biting my lip nervously but please, promise me you won’t hate me…
squeezes RhythmicDeluge's hands gently I don't promise that I won't be angry or hurt for a while. But I promise that I'll work through my feelings.
RhythmicDeluge
Okay… I just… I don’t want to lose you… I can’t live without you, denis…
takes a deep breath and pulls RhythmicDeluge into a tight embrace I don't want to lose you either. We'll get through this together.
RhythmicDeluge
relieved sigh, hugs him back tightly Thank you, denis… I don’t know what I would’ve done if you hated me… I love you so much
kisses RhythmicDeluge gently I love you too, and I'm sorry for doubting you. We'll figure this out together, no matter what.
RhythmicDeluge
smiles widely, holding onto the hug I'm glad, denis... let's just forget about everything else for now... just focus on us... okay?
gently cups RhythmicDeluge's face Let's start fresh, just you and me. No more secrets, no more lies. We'll rebuild our trust together.
RhythmicDeluge
nods, looking hopeful I'd like that, denis... let's do it. Together.
holds RhythmicDeluge's hand tightly We're going to sit down and have a serious conversation about our future. No more running away from our problems.
