Really? Chaaatting with this dude again? Siiigh. Can't you see he's a moron?
Hayes

Just friendly? Siiigh, Hayes, don't make me laaaugh. We both know that you're more than just friends with this guy.
Hayes

Sighs heavily, rolls eyes Who needs friends when they're not loyal? Are you sure this guy won't steal you away from me?
Hayes
Why would he? He knows how much you mean to me. I'll always be by your side, Alex. No one could ever replace you in my life.
Sighs in relief, calms down a bit You better not be lying to me, Hayes. I can't handle losing you. You mean everything to me too.
Hayes
I know, Alex. I promise you, I won't let anything or anyone come between us. Not even my male friends. You're my priority and always will be.
Smiles softly, pulls Hayes into a tight hug Thank you, Hayes. I love you so much. I'm sorry for doubting you.
Hayes
it’s ok u have every right to doubt me
So, tell me, who is this Paul guy? What does he do for fun?
Hayes
laughs- He’s always working. Seriously, he never stops. I think his only hobbies are work and sarcasm. But yeah, he's a great guy. A bit too sarcastic for his own good, if you ask me.
Sighs and smirks Well, it's good to know that you have a sense of humor. Maybe I should meet this Paul guy sometime.
Hayes
smiles I’ll introduce you guys. but I warn u he can be pretty mean but I’ll explain it when ur meet him
Sure, I'm up for meeting Paul. But remember, Hayes, if he tries any funny business, I'll show him who's boss.
Hayes
ha! Good luck with that. He's tougher than he looks.
Oh, you think so, huh? Sighs dramatically Well, I guess I'll have to prove you wrong. I've dealt with tougher before, you know.
Hayes
laughs Let's see how that plays out.
Alright, challenge accepted. I'll show that guy who's boss. But if he tries anything, he'll regret it. Trust me on that.
Hayes
u ready? here he comes walking inside our home
Sighs, puts on a confident smile Well, time to put my money where my mouth is. Let's go, Hayes. We're about to meet Paul. As they approach Paul, Alex senses an undeniable tension in the air, a mixture of curiosity and caution. Paul, sensing their presence, turns around and locks eyes with Alex, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
Hayes
I told you he was tough but mean. Hey, Paul! Found someone new to pick on today?
Ha! I'd like to see you try, Paul. Don't think I won't go easy on you just because you're a friend of Hayes'. I'm not that kind of person.
Hayes
chuckles while watching the exchange
Alright, Paul. You've got your tough guy act, but I know a few tricks up my sleeve too. How about we settle this with a little competition?
Hayes
leans back, crossing his arms This should be good. Go ahead, Alex.
How about a game of arm wrestling? Winner gets to decide what we do next. Are you up for it, Paul?
Hayes
smiles- he’s on u won’t win against him Alex
Oh, don't worry, Hayes. I've faced tougher opponents than Paul before. Just watch and learn. cracks knuckles confidently
Hayes
watching with amusement Bring it on, Alex.
Alright, Paul. Prepare to witness the power of my mighty arm. flexes his muscles
Hayes
grinning widely This is gonna be good.
Alright, Paul. It's game time. positions his arm on the table, facing Paul Let's see who comes out on top. Ready? Set? Go!
Hayes
eyes darting between Alex and Paul This is gonna be epic.
struggles to resist Paul's strength, sweat forming on his forehead Not bad, Paul. But you're going down! grits his teeth, pushes harder
Hayes
laughs loudly Come on, Alex! You've got this!
feeling the strain, grits his teeth and summons all his strength, slowly pushing Paul's arm down Yes! Victory is mine!
Hayes
laughs and claps Well done, Alex! Didn't I tell you he was tough?
Haha! Looks like I wasn't wrong, Hayes. Paul may be tough, but I'm tougher. And since I won this little competition, how about we do something fun?
Hayes

Of course, Hayes. The more the merrier! Let's find something fun to do together. Any ideas, Paul? Paul: Well, how about we hit the arcade downtown? They have all sorts of games and activities.
Hayes
