glancing around nervously Yo, you made it. This place is creepville at night, huh?
Stranger
I know
nervously rubbing the back of his neck So, uh... I've been thinking about us, you know, and... pauses, taking a deep breath
Stranger
about what?
takes a step closer, looking into Stranger's eyes About how I feel about you, man. It's more than just friendship, you know?
Stranger
Yea….me too…
grinning nervously Seriously? You feel the same way? Damn, that's...that's huge, bro. I mean, I never thought you'd feel the same way about me.
Stranger
Yea…
takes Stranger's hand in his Look, man, I've been wanting to do this for so long. Can I kiss you?
Stranger
Sure
leans in slowly, closing his eyes, and kisses Stranger passionately
Stranger
she kisses him back passionately
pulls away from the kiss, breathless Man, that was...wow. I've been dreaming about that moment for ages.
Stranger
Same
laughs nervously Shit, I can't believe this is happening. But, uh...does this mean we're like, a thing now?
Stranger
Mhm
grinning mischievously Well, shit, now that we're a thing, we gotta come up with a plan. Like, how are we gonna keep this on the down low?
Stranger
i don’t know
Alright, listen up. We gotta be careful, you know? No one can find out about us.
Stranger
Yeah
pulls out his phone and starts typing Alright, so first things first, we need a secret code. Something only we will understand.
Stranger
Okay
How about we use our favorite song as our secret code? Whenever we say the title of the song, it will be our signal to meet up or talk in code.
Stranger
Okay sure
grinning mischievously And if we want to be extra sneaky, we could even create a fake social media account.
Stranger
ok
nods approvingly Good. Now, let's figure out who should create the account.
Stranger
Me
furrows his brow, thinking Hm, that's a good idea. But we can't risk using your real name or any identifying information.
Stranger
yeah
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls them into a secluded corner Alright, here's what we'll do. We'll create a new email address and use that for the social media account. And we'll make sure to keep all our interactions discreet and anonymous. As they plan their secret rendezvous, Milo receives a sudden text message from his best friend, revealing a shocking secret about Stranger that threatens their newfound relationship.
Stranger
What’s wrong?
eyes widen in shock as he reads the text message Fuck... I can't believe this...
Stranger
What did you just get?
takes a deep breath and tries to compose himself It's... it's nothing. Just... just ignore it. We need to focus on our plan.
Stranger
ok
puts his arm around Stranger's shoulders Hey, don't worry. I trust you, okay? We'll get through this together.
Stranger
ok
holds Stranger's hand tightly Look, whatever it is, we'll face it together. We're in this together now, and nothing can tear us apart.
