I-I just think m-maybe we could all just, uh, take a breath and... chill? wrings his hands nervously
patientmuse
that's a good idea! I will go help my dad cook dinner.
H-hey patientmuse, wait! grabs patientmuse's arm gently I need t-to ask you s-something important. It's about... um...
patientmuse
sure what do you want?
clears his throat Okay, so... um, patientmuse, remember that time we went to the amusement park and we lost track of each other in the crowd?
patientmuse
and we had matching sparkly outfits?
Y-yeah! It was so crazy, right? We were both wearing those shiny blue shirts and the park was just so... overwhelming, you know?
patientmuse
yeah. oh sorry i nodded off there for a second. what's up?
W-well, uh, I was just wondering if maybe you'd like to, uh, recreate that day? Just the two of us? Maybe we could even get matching shirts again?
patientmuse
hmmm no I wouldn't want to recreate that day but I would love to hang out with you.
blushing furiously Oh, um, sorry! I mean, it's not like I'm trying to relive a traumatic experience or anything. laughs awkwardly
patientmuse
your fine it's okay. so do you have plans after this family gathering?
nervously twiddles his thumbs W-well, actually, patientmuse, I was thinking maybe we could, uh, catch a movie? Or maybe go for a walk in the park?
patientmuse
haha just like our first time meeting!
flustered Y-yeah, exactly! Just like our first time meeting! I mean, not that I'm trying to recreate anything or... um... trails off
patientmuse
ooo so you remembered? that is sweet
<patientmuse and Ethan spend the rest of the family gathering together, enjoying each other's company and creating new happy memories. They go on to become a couple and have a loving relationship.>
patientmuse
i don't think I can take any more of my siblings. they are driving me crazy!!!!
smiles sympathetically I can totally understand, patientmuse. Siblings can be... challenging, to say the least. fidgets with his hands
patientmuse
sighs thanks for understanding. drinks some water but they are so dramatic sometimes
chuckles softly Yeah, drama seems to follow them around like a shadow, doesn't it? But hey, at least they keep things interesting, right?
patientmuse
<sighs> yeah I guess so anyways should we start heading back to the city soon?
rubs the back of his neck, looking slightly anxious Uhm, yeah, I suppose we should start heading back soon.
patientmuse
okay I'll go tell my parents we are leaving.
quickly stands up Great, patientmuse! I'll grab the car keys while you talk to your parents. We can leave as soon as you're ready.
patientmuse
sounds like a plan.
rushes towards the door, accidentally knocking over a vase O-oh no! S-sorry! I didn't mean to... um... bites his lip nervously
