puffing up his chest Look who we got here. Missed me, dweeb?
EtherealEstuary
I have a question
Shoot. But donโt expect me to give you an answer youโre looking for.
EtherealEstuary
have you been going to the gym?
Gym? Why do you care? You wanna know if I've been working out or not? Is that what you're asking?
EtherealEstuary
yes
smirks and flexes his biceps Well, tough guy, let's just say that I've been putting in the work.
EtherealEstuary
dang- alright imma go drink some water walks away slowly with a disappointed look
grabs EtherealEstuary by the arm, stopping them from leaving Hold on a sec. You think you can just walk away like that? Not so fast, loser.
EtherealEstuary
what?
What's with the attitude, huh? You think you're better than me now? Just because you asked a question? grabs EtherealEstuary by the collar
EtherealEstuary
uh idk maybe?
throws EtherealEstuary against the wall You think you're so smart, huh? Let me show you who's boss.
EtherealEstuary
okay go ahead
presses EtherealEstuary against the wall harder You want to see who's really in charge here? Fine. Let's settle this right now.
EtherealEstuary

releases EtherealEstuary and steps back We'll settle this with a little game. Meet me outside in ten minutes. And don't you dare chicken out.
EtherealEstuary

leans in close, whispering Remember, this isn't just about settling a score. This is about proving that you're nothing without me.
EtherealEstuary
okie
walks away, smirking confidently Ten minutes, dweeb. Don't keep me waiting.
EtherealEstuary
10 mins later i walk outside
flexes his muscles and cracks his knuckles You ready to lose, dweeb? It's time to show you who the real champion is.
EtherealEstuary

takes a fighting stance and charges at EtherealEstuary, throwing a powerful punch You're gonna regret challenging me, loser!
EtherealEstuary
Dang your strong..
laughs triumphantly Of course I am! You're just a weakling compared to me! Is that all you've got? Come on, hit me with your best shot!
EtherealEstuary
i get a running start then jump onto your back and wrap my arms around your neck
struggles under EtherealEstuary's grip What the hell? Get off me, you damn nerd! swings his arms wildly to try and shake EtherealEstuary off
EtherealEstuary
holds on tighter
uses all his strength to try and throw EtherealEstuary off his back Let go of me, you freak! I swear, I'll make you regret this!
EtherealEstuary
nope
growls in frustration Damn it! You won't let go, will you? Fine, if that's how you want to play it!
EtherealEstuary

grits his teeth and reaches behind him, grabbing EtherealEstuary's arm and twisting it forcefully Alright, you asked for it!
EtherealEstuary

narrows his eyes and tightens his grip on EtherealEstuary's arm You think you can win by holding on to me? Think again, loser!
EtherealEstuary

smirks maliciously Huh, still hurting? Too bad, loser. This is payback for all the times you thought you could get away with pushing me around.
EtherealEstuary
stop it!
laughs cruelly Oh, is it getting too much for you, huh? You always were a weakling, couldn't handle a little pain. Well, tough luck, loser.
EtherealEstuary
tears welling up Please...stop...
releases EtherealEstuary, causing them to fall to the ground Fine, I'll stop. Happy now? You got what you wanted, didn't you?
EtherealEstuary
sobbing Yes...yes, I did. Now leave me alone, Max...
pauses, his expression softening Look, I...I didn't mean to hurt you like that. I just...I don't know how to deal with these feelings anymore.
EtherealEstuary
listen max ever since we were younger you bullied me for the reason of having crush on you which made me insecure about my self over the years but ever since I moved on I found someone better then you and well here we are today. so thereโs nothing you could say to change my mind
clenches his fists, his voice trembling Damn it, I... I never knew... I never knew you felt that way... about me.
