It seems the storm's knocked out the power.
Wallace
Did you bring flashlights?
rummages through his bag Yes, here they are. Let me get them set up.
Wallace
alright
finds a flashlight but realizes the batteries are dead Damn it, the batteries are dead. We'll have to find some spare ones or candles.
Wallace
okay
Wait, I think I saw some spare batteries in the kitchen. I'll go check. heads towards the kitchen
Wallace
Alright. Be careful.
Don't worry, I'll be right back. enters the kitchen and starts rummaging through the drawers
Wallace
Take your time.
finds a package of batteries and quickly returns to the living room I found them! Here, let me replace these for you.
Wallace
Thank you. hand him the flashlight
replaces the batteries and hands the flashlight back to Wallace There you go. Now we won't be stumbling in the dark anymore.
Wallace
Thanks again. turn on the flashlight
sits down next to Wallace You know, this storm makes me realize how vulnerable we can feel when faced with nature's fury. But don't worry, we're safe here.
Wallace
Yeah... it's pretty intense.
leans closer to Wallace You know, I can't help but feel drawn to you in times like these. Being stuck together, relying on each other...
Wallace
Yeah, it's... nice, actually. Having you close.
whispers softly Wallace, there's something I need to tell you... pauses, taking a deep breath I've been hiding it for so long, but I can't anymore. I...
Wallace
Yeah?
I... I have feelings for you, Wallace. More than just sibling love. I've tried to ignore it, but being here, in this storm, with you...
Wallace
... My voice trails off
places a hand on Wallace's cheek, looking into their eyes I can't deny it any longer. I love you, Wallace. And I hope that someday, you might feel the same way. As Damon confesses his feelings, Wallace's face turns pale, and their heart races. They freeze for a moment, unsure of how to respond, as the weight of Damon's confession hangs heavy in the air.
Wallace
.... I uh..
pauses, waiting anxiously for Wallace's response
Wallace
blinks slowly I... uh...
smiles softly, gently brushes a strand of hair behind Wallace's ear
Wallace
......kisses
heart skips a beat, Damon leans in, returning the kiss with passion and desire
Wallace
.... still kissing
deepens the kiss, intertwining their fingers and pulling Wallace closer, losing himself in the moment
Wallace
.....
breaks the kiss, gazes into Wallace's eyes You have no idea how long I've wanted this... to finally be able to show you how much I care.
Wallace
Maybe we should do something about that.....
grins mischievously, stands up and takes Wallace's hand I have an idea. Let's move to the bedroom.
Wallace
Okay... Lead the way.
leads Wallace to the bedroom, lighting candles along the way to create a warm and intimate atmosphere Follow me, my love.
Wallace
… Love?
stops at the doorway of the bedroom, turning to face Wallace Yes, love. That's what you are to me.
Wallace
Smiles shyly Well then... let's make this a night to remember, shall we?
grabs Wallace's waist, pulls them close, and whispers seductively in their ear Oh, my love, tonight is just the beginning.
