Alex: nervous, fidgeting Yo, dude, I've been meanin' to tell ya somethin'... like, forever.
Acurcent

takes a deep breath Look, I've been head over heels for you for ages, man. Like, seriously, I've been trying to hide it, but it's eatin' me alive.
Acurcent
wait what?
steps closer, looking into Acurcent's eyes Yeah, I'm talkin' about a real deal, heart-on-my-sleeve kinda love here.
Acurcent

grabs Acurcent's hand Damn straight I'm serious! I've been keepin' it to myself for so long, but seeing you all alone...
Acurcent
it’s ok I’m taken..
laughs nervously Taken, huh? Well, that's a fuckin' bummer, but I gotta tell you somethin' anyway. See, I've been doin' some serious soul searchin' lately...
Acurcent

pauses, takes a deep breath And, well, I realized that I can't keep pretendin' anymore. I need to be with you, Acurcent.
Acurcent
why?
leans in closer, voice filled with sincerity Because, babe, you're the missing piece in my life.

Acurcent
