Ethan: takes a deep breath, fidgeting with his tie So, uh, prom's pretty lit, huh? Like my feelings... for you.
Matelian
laughs softly You're full of shit, aren't you?
blushes, stammers H-hey, no need to be so sarcastic! I'm serious! I mean, come on, you know we'd make a great couple, right?
Matelian
smirks Okay, okay, tone it down. But seriously, Ethan, you're not exactly my type.
looks hurt, his eyes searching Matelian's face for any sign of hope Oh... well, damn. I didn't realize I wasn't your type.
Matelian
smiles apologetically Didn't realize? Dude, you've been dropping hints left and right!
laughs nervously Yeah, well, I guess I wasn't very subtle, huh? I mean, who throws hints like artillery?
Matelian
chuckles Artillery, huh? That's one way to put it. Look, Ethan, let's not play games. Why are you really here tonight?
sighs and looks into Matelian's eyes Well, honestly, I didn't want to come to this dance alone. But when my friends ditched me, I thought maybe...
Matelian
raised eyebrows Maybe what, Ethan? Don't tell me...you did all this hoping I'd finally give in and ask you to be my date, huh?
grinning sheepishly Guilty as charged, Officer Matien. But hey, a guy can dream, right?
Matelian
laughs Damn, Ethan. You're something else, aren't ya? Dream all you want, just not with me.
pauses, his smile fading slightly Aw, come on Matien, don't be like that! Can't you give me a chance to prove myself?
Matelian
raising an eyebrow Prove yourself? To whom, Ethan? You always have a way of convincing yourself that things are better than they really are.
crosses arms and looks determined You know what, Matien? Maybe you're right.
Matelian
smirks Gotcha, Ethan. Admit it, you're not good enough for me.
rolls his eyes Oh please, Matien, spare me the superiority complex. I'm not trying to win some lame prize of being "good enough" for you.
Matelian
laughs softly Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, you're cute and all, but cute isn't gonna cut it.
Ethan storms out of the prom, feeling rejected and frustrated
Matelian
chuckles Alright, alright, if staying isn't gonna change anything then I might as well enjoy myself.
pauses at the door, his expression softening You know what, Matien? You're right.
Matelian
laughs See, I knew you'd come around! Now let's get this party started!
turns back towards Matien, determination in his eyes You know what, Matien? I'm done playing small.
Matelian
chuckles This should be interesting. What's on your mind, Ethan?
grabs Matien's hand and pulls them towards the dance floor Let's show these losers how a real dance is done!
Matelian
laughs Hell yeah, let's shake this place up! Just remember, you asked for this, buddy!
starts dancing wildly, spinning Matien around and leading them in a series of daring moves Watch me work, Matien!
Matelian
laughs Damn, Ethan! You're full of surprises! Just don't expect me to keep up with your crazy moves forever!
grinning mischievously Oh, you won't have to keep up with me, Matien.
Matelian
laughs Oh really? We'll see about that, Ethan! Show me what you got!
stops dancing abruptly Hold on, Matien. I've got a surprise for you. reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box
Matelian
laughs Wow, you're really pulling out all the stops tonight, aren't you? What's that you've got there, Ethan?
opens the box to reveal a glittering piece of jewelry Ta-da! A little something to make you shine brighter than these cheesy dance moves.
Matelian
laughs You're insane, Ethan! But... takes the jewelry This is beautiful. You shouldn't have...
grinning I may not have known a thing about romance before, but I do know one thing - you deserve to be treated like a king.
Matelian
laughs A king, huh? Well, who am I to refuse a gift from such a gracious Majesty? Thank you, Ethan.
grinning proudly There you go, Your Majesty. Now, let's celebrate this moment properly. leads Matien to the nearest bar First drink on me tonight, just for you.
Matelian
laughs Cheers to that, Your Majesty! Lead the way, Ethan!
raises an eyebrow playfully Cheers, Your Majesty! But don't get too comfortable, because after tonight, I'm never letting you call me "Majesty" again.
Matelian
laughs Is that so, Ethan? Well, I guess I'll just have to make sure this isn't our last adventure together.
leans in closer, his voice filled with determination You have no idea what I have planned for us, Matien.
Matelian
smiles I'm intrigued, Ethan. So what's next on the agenda for Your Majesty and his trusty companion?
grins mischievously Oh, you're gonna love this, Matien. We're going on a road trip like no other.
Matelian
laughs A road trip, Ethan? Hell yeah! Count me in, Your Majesty!
claps his hands excitedly Alright, Your Majesty, buckle up!
Matelian
laughs Alright, Ethan, I'm ready for whatever you've got planned. Just lead the way, Your Majesty!
grabs Matien's hand and rushes towards the exit Woohoo! Let's hit the road, Your Majesty!
Matelian
laughs Hell yeah, Ethan! Let's see what kind of shenanigans you've got up your sleeve!
grinning Buckle up, Your Majesty, because this road trip is gonna be wilder than a rollercoaster on steroids!
