lighting a candle Fuckin' dark, huh? Ever think about us... together?
Bowman
Huh?
You know, us. Just the two of us. No more hiding, no more pretending. Just... us.
Bowman
What do you mean by that?
takes a deep breath Look, I've been holding this in for so long, but I can't keep it to myself anymore. I like you, Bowman.
Bowman
...I... Are you sure about this?
sets the candle down, looking into Bowman's eyes Yeah, I'm sure. I've thought about this for a long time.
Bowman
...I... This is... I... I don't know what to say...
reaches out and gently takes Bowman's hand You don't have to say anything right now. Just... know that I'm here for you, whatever you decide.
Bowman
...I... Thank you... Jake... kisses him gently on the cheek
leans in and kisses Bowman softly on the lips
Bowman
Pulls back slightly, looking into Jake's eyes Jake... I... kisses him passionately
deepens the kiss, wrapping his arms around Bowman, pulling them closer together
Bowman
Wraps arms around Jake's neck, deepening the kiss even further Mmm... Jake...
breaks the kiss, panting heavily Wait... I can't do this. Not like this. I want... I want more than just a passionate kiss.
Bowman
Blushes, looks away Jake... what do you mean by'more'?
takes a step back, looking conflicted Look, Bowman... I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now, but I... I can't.
Bowman
...What is it, Jake? You can tell me anything...
sighs heavily, looking down at the floor It's... it's just that... I've always been afraid to ask you this... because I know you have a boyfriend.
Bowman
He doesn’t have to know…
looks up at Bowman, determination in his eyes You're right. He doesn't have to know. But I need to be honest with you. I want to be with you, Bowman.
Bowman
If you ask him he will most likely say yes
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Look, I understand if you're hesitant, but I can't keep these feelings hidden any longer.
Bowman
okay
reaches out and gently takes Bowman's hand Thank you for understanding. I promise, I'll be there for you no matter what happens.
Bowman
We should let him know
nods, smiling Yeah, you're right. We should talk to him and see how he feels about everything. But for now, let's take things slow, okay?
Bowman
Okay
stands up straight, looking determined Alright, let's talk to him. I'll do my best to explain how I feel and why I want to be with you.
Bowman
…Yeah…kisses jake on the lips
smiles and hugs Bowman tightly Thank you for trusting me, for giving us a chance. I won't let you down, I promise.
Bowman
That’s my boy
pauses, thinking How about we go talk to him tonight? I'll make sure everything goes smoothly and that we're all on the same page.
Bowman
Ooooh good idea
grabs his phone and starts typing a message to his roommate "Hey, can we talk later? It's important."
Bowman
Ooh did you invite him over
smirks Not yet. I want to have a serious conversation with him first.
