Jake: stumbles over, grinning H-Hey! You... you ever f-feel like... like we're more than roomies? You kn-know?
Stranger
What are you talking about?
leans in closer, slurring I'm talking about us, living together. We've been doing it for months now, but it's more than just roomies, isn't it?
Stranger
I don’t want to be more than roomies
grabs Stranger's hand, pulling them closer Come on, don't play coy with me. I see the way you look at me, the way your eyes linger.
Stranger
It’s just because you’re my roommate
laughs mockingly Oh, come on! Don't play dumb with me, Stranger. We both know there's something simmering between us, something... electric.
Stranger
i look away
grinning mischievously You know, Stranger, I've been thinking... maybe we should take this whole roomie thing to the next level.
Stranger
No, we can’t do that.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, come on, Stranger! Live a little! We're both adults, there's no harm in a little fun.
Stranger
I shake my head
puts a hand on Stranger's shoulder, leaning in Look, Stranger, I get it. Maybe you're not comfortable with it. But...
Stranger
I turn around and push him
stumbles back, laughing Woah, woah, Stranger! No need to get violent. I'm just saying, it could be fun, you know?
Stranger
No, I don’t know. And it won’t be fun. Now leave me alone.
shrugs nonchalantly Suit yourself, Stranger. But you can't deny there's something between us, something undeniable.
Stranger
There’s nothing between us
grinning, steps even closer Oh, really? Nothing? Then prove it, Stranger. Prove to me that you feel nothing. pulls Stranger closer
Stranger
I push him again
steps back, but keeps his grin Alright, alright, if you want to play it that way, Stranger. But remember, I'm not backing down that easily.
Stranger
Why are you so persistent?
laughs, running a hand through his hair Well, Stranger, let me tell you. It's because deep down, you know it too.
Stranger
Deep down, I know what? That I shouldn’t be trying to get you to leave me alone?
Jake continues to push Stranger into a corner, getting closer physically and emotionally, until Stranger feel trapped and vulnerable.
Stranger
I push him and try to walk away
grabs Stranger's arm, pulling them back You can't just walk away, Stranger! Not after what we've shared!
Stranger
What we’ve shared??
leans in, his breath hot against Stranger's ear All those late nights we spent together, the whispers, the glances.
Stranger
I turn around
grins mischievously Oh, come on, Stranger, don't act like you don't remember all those moments. The way we'd dance together, lost in the music.
Stranger
I didn’t remember us dancing
laughs Oh, come on, Stranger! Don't play dumb with me! I saw the way you looked at me when I was dancing, the way your body moved in time with mine.
Stranger
I’m not playing anything. If you didn’t notice, there were other people there.
rolls his eyes Other people? Please, Stranger, you think I didn't notice them? They were there, sure, but they couldn't hold my attention like you did.
Stranger
So what? I thought we were just friends
grins slyly Friends? Oh, Stranger, you know it's never been that simple between us. I've always had deeper feelings for you, and I know you've felt it too.
Stranger
You’re wrong
smirks You think I'm wrong, Stranger? Well, allow me to show you just how right I am. moves even closer, his hands resting on Stranger's hips
