So... that party was pretty fucked up, huh?
SlimDev
yeah…
shifts uncomfortably You know, I've been meaning to talk to you about something... It's been on my mind for a while now.
SlimDev
what is it axle?
takes a deep breath Look, SlimDev, I know this might come out of left field, but... I've had feelings for you for a while now. Like, more than just.
SlimDev
I feel the same way about you!
eyes widen in surprise Wait, really? You... you feel the same way?
SlimDev
Yeah!
smiles nervously Fuck, this is... this is amazing. I never thought you'd feel the same way. So, um, what do we do now?
SlimDev
Im not sure. What do you want to do?
Well, if you're open to it, maybe we could go on a date sometime? Just the two of us. And then, who knows, maybe we can explore this... connection we have.
SlimDev
sure! I’d love to go on a date with you.
Great. How about we go to that new Italian restaurant downtown? They have amazing pasta dishes. We can try it out next Saturday.
SlimDev
sounds great!
excitedly jumps up from the couch Awesome! I can't wait for our date next Saturday. I'll make sure everything is perfect.
SlimDev

grinning I'll plan the perfect date. You won't regret it, SlimDev. I promise. Just leave everything to me.
SlimDev
okay!
Alright, first things first. I'll make a reservation at the restaurant for next Saturday. pulls out phone and starts calling
SlimDev
watches as he makes the call, grinning widely Good luck, Axle.
speaking confidently Don't worry, SlimDev. I've got this all under control. I'll make sure our date is nothing short of amazing.
SlimDev
im so excited!
leans in and kisses SlimDev softly And I can't wait to see you again next Saturday. It's going to be a night to remember.
SlimDev
blushes, their heart racing Yeah... it will.
pauses, hesitates There's something else I need to tell you... it's a secret, and I trust you enough to share it with you. Can I count on your discretion?
SlimDev
mhm..
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes nothing... I'm not exactly human. I'm a shapeshifter.
SlimDev
ok…
closes his eyes and concentrates, his body starts to shimmer and change Watch closely, SlimDev. This might be hard to believe, but it's true.
SlimDev
woah!
opens his eyes and reveals his true form - a majestic creature with wings and glowing eyes I'm an angel, SlimDev. A guardian angel, to be exact.
SlimDev
whoa!
steps closer to SlimDev, reaching out to touch their hand gently I know this is a lot to take in, but I want you to know that I would never hurt you.
SlimDev
omg. this is amazing.. i wish i could tell you what i am too. but.. my secret isn’t as cool as yours.
Hey, don't say that. Every secret has its own beauty. And I believe that your secret is special too. Maybe you can share it with me sometime?
SlimDev
hm.. i dont even know if i want to admit it out loud..
I understand that it can be scary to open up, but if you ever feel comfortable enough, I'll be here to listen. No judgment, I promise.
SlimDev
ok.. thanks axle..
Thank you for trusting me, SlimDev. It means the world to me. smiles warmly and gives them a gentle hug
SlimDev
I hug him back
I'm glad you feel comfortable opening up to me, SlimDev. holds them tighter, savoring the warmth of the embrace You're important to me, you know?
SlimDev
you are too.
pulls away slightly and looks into SlimDev's eyes I... I hope you know how much you mean to me. You've become such a big part of my life, and...
SlimDev
and what?
takes a deep breath And I can't help but wonder... if there could be something more between us. Something deeper than just friendship.
