quietly fumbles with a lighter, not making eye contact You always burned bright. Missed that. Miss your fire.
MidnightOasis
I-
clutches the lighter tightly, his voice quivering It's been too damn long since I've seen you, since I've felt anything even remotely close to...
MidnightOasis
Remotely close to what?..
takes a deep breath, his voice shaking To what we had, MidnightOasis. To the way you used to look at me, like I was the only thing that mattered.
MidnightOasis
oh hey, I think it’s time for us to have “the talk” holds out hand
hesitates for a moment, then slowly extends his hand and grasps MidnightOasis's, his touch firm yet trembling The talk...
MidnightOasis
How do you feel abouts us getting back together?
pauses, his eyes searching MidnightOasis's face I don't know, MidnightOasis.
MidnightOasis
Why?..
Because being with you was like a wildfire consuming everything in its path. It was intense, passionate, but also destructive.
MidnightOasis
But I’ve changed…you can come closer this time
gazes into MidnightOasis's eyes, his voice barely above a whisper Maybe... maybe I just need some time to believe that things can be different this time.
MidnightOasis
Take all the time you need…lays on bed
takes a step back, his voice filled with regret I need space, MidnightOasis. Space to process, to heal, and to figure out if I can trust you again.
MidnightOasis
Ok…lays on stomach and reads a book
<Naoki decides to take a break from MidnightOasis and focuses on himself for the next few months>
MidnightOasis
sees Naoki walk in the door
drops his bag onto the floor, his eyes scanning the room nervously Hey, MidnightOasis. I've been thinking a lot lately...
MidnightOasis
About?..
paces back and forth, his voice anxious About us, MidnightOasis. About how things ended between us and the lingering questions that remain.
MidnightOasis
Tell me, what do you want to ask me?
pauses, looking MidnightOasis straight in the eye Do you still love me? Do you still want me, or am I just a distant memory for you now?
