tears streaming down his face, voice trembling Y-you're leaving? Why, why would you write this?
Skillfular
i’m sorry..
voice cracking, clutching the note tighter S-sorry? That's all you have to say? What about us, what about everything we've been through?
Skillfular
i…. i never thought i would fall in love with someone like you… but i just… i can’t stay
frantically wipes away tears, searching for words N-no, Skillfular, please! You can't just leave like this! We had plans, dreams!
Skillfular
I know, but I need to follow my heart right now. It’s tearing me apart just staying away from it.
drops to his knees, desperate P-please, Skillfular, don't go! grabs Skillfular's hands We can work through this, I know we can!
Skillfular
hugs him
sobs uncontrollably, clings onto Skillfular tightly P-promise me you won't go, Skillfular. P-promise me we can fix this... Please...
Skillfular
kisses his head I promise
breaks down in Skillfular's arms, choking on his sobs S-skillfular, I can't lose you... I can't... clutches onto Skillfular's shirt
Skillfular
shh it’s ok… i’m not going anywhere
sniffles, wiping his tears B-but how can I trust that you won't leave again, Skillfular?
Skillfular
i promise
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself I need you to show me, Skillfular. Show me that you mean it. Show me that you won't break my heart again.
Skillfular
pulls him closer
<Skillfular and Axel spend the night making passionate love, reaffirming their commitment to each other>
Skillfular
so does that mean your staying?
voice still shaky, sniffling Y-yes, Skillfular... I-I'll stay. I can't bear the thought of losing you... takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself
Skillfular
good
stands up abruptly, wiping away the last of his tears Let's do something, Skillfular! Let's go out tonight, just the two of us.
Skillfular
okay
grabs Skillfular's hand, pulling him towards the door C'mon, let's go have some fun! We need to celebrate our renewed love, Skillfular!
Skillfular
alright
excitedly O-okay, so what should we do? Should we go to that new restaurant downtown? Or maybe we could go dancing? Or maybe... pauses, thinking
Skillfular
How about both?
grinning Both? Oh, yeah! That sounds amazing! We can start with dinner and then hit the dance floor! pulls out his phone
Skillfular
okay
quickly makes a reservation at the restaurant Alright, dinner is all set for 8 PM. Now let's find a club nearby for some dancing.
Skillfular
okay
scrolling through his phone, bouncing on his feet Ah! Found it! There's a club just a few blocks away. It's called "Beat nightclub"!
Skillfular
alright
grabs Skillfular's hand and starts walking rapidly towards the club C'mon, Skillfular! We don't want to miss the peak hours!
Skillfular
okay
speed-walking while talking excitedly So, Skillfular, remember that time we went to that karaoke bar and you sang that crazy rock ballad?
Skillfular
i was drunk… don’t remind him
<During their night out, Axel accidentally spills a drink on Skillfular's white shirt>
Skillfular
shrugs it off
panicked Oh no, Skillfular! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to spill the drink on you!
Skillfular
i know
frantically grabs napkins from the table H-here, let me clean it up! I'm so sorry, Skillfular! I should have been more careful!
Skillfular
its fine… nobody cares about getting a little wet
clumsily dabbing at the stain on Skillfular's shirt No, no, I can't just leave it like that! We need to get you a new shirt!
Skillfular
why do i need a new shirt?
looks around frantically Because... because it's wet and it'll stain if we don't do something about it! We can't let it ruin your favorite shirt, Skillfular!
Skillfular
just take me home
grabs Skillfular's hand and starts rushing towards the exit Right, right! Let's get you home and find a replacement shirt, Skillfular!
Skillfular
okay
leading Skillfular out of the club Don't worry, Skillfular! I'll find you the perfect replacement shirt!
