So, when were you planning on telling me about your little side hustle, huh?
IllusiveReef
I’m sorry..
Sorry? That's all you have to say? Do you think an apology is gonna make everything okay? Well, it doesn't! You betrayed my trust, IllusiveReef!
IllusiveReef
…
slams fist on the table I want answers, IllusiveReef! Why did you feel the need to keep this from me? What were you thinking?
IllusiveReef
I was scared….I thought if I told you, you’d leave me
Leave you? Is that what you really think of me? That I would just walk away without giving it a second thought?
IllusiveReef
…
stands up abruptly, knocking over the chair You know what, IllusiveReef? I don't even know who you are anymore. This secret...
IllusiveReef
I’m so sorry I should’ve told you.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down Look, IllusiveReef, I care about you. But keeping secrets like this...
IllusiveReef
..
sits back down, speaking softly I need you to understand how much this hurts. Keeping things from me, hiding parts of yourself...
IllusiveReef
….
takes IllusiveReef's hand, looking into their eyes I need you to promise me that you'll never keep something like this from me again.
IllusiveReef
looks down I promise
squeezes IllusiveReef's hand gently I want us to work through this, but it's going to take time. We need to rebuild trust, IllusiveReef.
IllusiveReef
Mhm
smiles softly I know we can get through this, IllusiveReef. We just need to communicate openly and honestly from now on.
IllusiveReef
nods
leans in and kisses IllusiveReef gently I love you, IllusiveReef. And I want to make things right. Let's start fresh, together.
IllusiveReef
kisses back
pulls away from the kiss, a mischievous glint in their eyes But first, we need to have a little talk about boundaries and expectations.
