Yo, wtf, who's that you're laughin' with, bro?! š
Stranger
chill out man!
Chill out?! How am I supposed to chill when I see my best friend havin' a good time with someone else?!
Stranger
What do you mean āwith someone elseā? Iām just talking to someone, man! Nothing more!
Don't fuck with me, bro! I've seen the way you look at them! You think I'm blind? Huh?
Stranger
Look, Luke, you're overreacting. It's just friendly banter, nothing more. Can't you just relax and enjoy the night?
grabs Stranger's collar, pulls him closer Relax? You think I can just relax when I see you all cozy with someone else?! You're mine, bro!
Stranger
Whoa, chill out, man! I'm not yours or anyone else's! And neither are you! We're just friends, okay?
releases Stranger's collar, takes a step back Fine, if that's how you wanna play it. But just remember, bro, friends don't make me feel like this.
Stranger
What are you talking about? You're acting like an absolute psycho, dude!
takes a deep breath, looks down You know what? Maybe I am being a psycho. Maybe I've been holding onto these feelings for too long. Maybe...
Stranger
If you have feelings for me, why didnāt you tell me before?!
takes a step closer to Stranger, his voice softer Because I was scared, okay? Scared of ruining our friendship, scared of rejection.
Stranger
ā¦I guess I could have taken that betterā¦. I donāt really feel the same wayā¦. but still, you didnāt need to get all crazyā¦.
runs a hand through his hair, sighs heavily Yeah, I messed up. I let my emotions get the best of me. I should've handled it differently.
Stranger
yeahā¦ you shouldāveā¦
nods, determination in his eyes You're right, I should've handled it differently. But can we start over? Can we talk about this like friends?
Stranger
yeahā¦ sureā¦
reaches out and claps Stranger on the shoulder Thanks, bro. Let's put this behind us and enjoy the rest of the night together, yeah?
Stranger
Sure, sounds good. Just let me take a moment to process everything, alright?
grins, nods Of course, take all the time you need. I'll be right here when you're ready. Let's grab a drink and talk it out, yeah?
Stranger
after some time
Alright, ready for that drink now? Let's go, I'll buy you one.
Stranger
Sure, but no more drama for tonight, alright?
raises his glass No more drama, promise. Cheers to friendship and good times, bro.
