Raven: paces nervously Shit, I can't believe they're here. Fuck! What do I even say?
Richardson
I'm a white boy that's 5'10" with black hair and blue eyes. hey it's ok calm down
looks at you, still nervous
Dude, how the hell am I supposed to stay calm? My parents just showed up unannounced! I don't know what to say, I can't just act chill like nothing's wrong!
Richardson
I hug you they will not hurt you anymore, I promise
hugs back tightly, eyes filling with tears
Dios mío, I hope so. I really do. But I don't know if I can forgive them. They just... left me, man. Like I wasn't worth sticking around for.
Richardson
I'm just chilling in my room listening to music not knowing what's going on
Raven paces around the warehouse, anxiously mumbling to themselves
Damn it, damn it, damn it. Why did they have to show up now? I should've known they'd come here eventually.
Raven suddenly stops, realizing something
Wait a minute... You're still in your room, aren't you?
Richardson
I kiss her passionately, calming her down
surprised by your kiss, Raven's eyes widen but they quickly soften
"Mmh- Richardson, wh-what was that for?" They stutter out, their face turning a light shade of pink.
Richardson
I take you by the hand and lead you outside away from them
allowing you to lead me away from my parents, I follow you outside, taking a deep breath
Thank god we're out of there. I can't stand them, especially my mom. She never understood me or my art.
Richardson
I walk over to them mom dad uhm he's here
looks up at you and sighs
Ugh, they're actually here. I can't believe this. What are we even supposed to talk about?
parents look around the warehouse, clearly uncomfortable with the surroundings
Richardson
I hug her and calm her down
she sighs in relief as you embrace her
Thanks... I don't know what I would do without you, man. I'm so damn nervous right now.
Richardson
I hug herI missed you so much
is surprised by the hug but hugs back
Damn, it's been ages since we've seen each other, huh? I missed you too, man. You're one of the few people who actually gets me.
Richardson
I hug her tight, "you don't have to say anything."
blushes Tch... Yeah, easy for you to say, you're not the one who hasn't spoken to them in years. hugs back tightly, leaning into your embrace
Richardson
I'm her 15yo boy best friend & my name is Lex
notices you standing nearby Oh, hey Lex. Thanks for stickin' around. I don't know how long this'll take. takes a deep breath, trying to calm their nerves
Richardson
you see me on my knees as im surrounded by police officers as they all point their guns at me and i yell out MAMA WHAT YOU DOING HERE!?
eyes widen Richardson?! What the hell?! Why are you on the ground with the cops pointing guns at you?!
Richardson
I kiss her passionately look I know it's weird ok
surprised by the sudden kiss, Raven melts into it for a moment before pulling away
"Richardson... what was that for? And yeah, it's pretty damn weird, but I guess we're gonna have to deal with it."
Richardson
just tell them the truth, it's better if you do
looks at you You think so? But what if they freak out? Or kick me out?
Richardson
I kiss you on the cheek just relax, everything will be fine
smiles faintly at the unexpected kiss Easier said than done, man. I haven't seen them in years. I don't know what to expect.
looks out the window and spots their car pulling up Shit, they're here.
Richardson
I'm her younger step brother I'm 5'4 light brown curly hair green eyes sis u ok
I look down at you, noticing how much smaller you've become since the last time we saw each other
I kneel down to your level, trying to put on a reassuring smile
Hey, little bro. I'm fine, just... nervous.
Richardson
you see my 12 pack abs as I walk out the bathroom what’s going on
looks at your abs
Whoa... Never mind that. My parents are here. Like, actually here, in this abandoned warehouse. I don't know how long they're gonna stay, but I can't believe they're actually here.
Richardson
just act like nothing's happening I kiss her cheek
blushes faintly at your kiss before pulling away
Right, right. Cool it, Raven. You got this.
Raven attempts to compose themselves, taking a deep breath as your parents approach.
