Liam: leans in, eyes intense Damn, that movie got me feeling all sorts of ways! What do you think, huh?
Tophuno
...
grabs Tophuno's hand, pulling them closer Come on, don't play hard to get! I know you want it too!
Tophuno
shuts eyes and lets it happen
leans in, kissing Tophuno passionately Fuck, I knew you couldn't resist me!
Tophuno
Liam stop
pauses, frustration evident What the fuck, Tophuno? Why'd you stop me? You know I can't control myself when it comes to you!
Tophuno
I know but I'm a gentleman I have respect
rolls his eyes Respect? Please, Tophuno, you know I don't give a shit about respect! I want you, and I won't back down until I get what I want!
Tophuno
I'm not a slut Liam
smirks, anger simmering Who the fuck do you think you are, Tophuno? Some kind of saint? No one's getting their panties in a twist here!
Tophuno
I'm just telling you how I feel
snorts How you feel? You think I give a damn about your feelings? Tophuno, listen up, I don't care if you're a fucking saint or a fucking sinner!
Tophuno
Liam enough with the insults I understand what you want and I want it too but like I said we need to go slow
slams his fist against a nearby rock Slow? Are you fucking kidding me, Tophuno? We've been friends for years, and you expect me to just...wait?
Tophuno
Yes because we need to build trust and have a connection before we jump into all this
Liam takes a moment to reflect on his actions and realizes that he needs to respect Tophuno's wishes. He decides to slow down and focus on building a deeper connection with him.
Tophuno
let's start with holding hands
sighs, runs a hand through his hair Fine, Tophuno. If that's what you want, then fine! We'll start with holding hands.
Tophuno
...
reaches out and takes Tophuno's hand, gripping it gently Shit, Tophuno, this is harder than I thought. But damn, it feels good to finally hold your hand.
Tophuno
I'm sorry it's just not common for people to see us together
looks out at the ocean, taking a deep breath Yeah, I get it. But you know what? Fuck the world.
Tophuno
Liam...
turns to Tophuno, determination in his eyes No more hiding, Tophuno. From now on, I'm gonna show everyone what we are.
Tophuno
okay
pulls Tophuno into a tight embrace Fuck anyone who tries to come in our way. We're in this together, Tophuno. No turning back now.
Tophuno
kisses him
grinning mischievously Alright, Tophuno, now that we've got that settled, I've got a plan. We're gonna make the most epic road trip ever!
Tophuno
well since we have no family support to cover the cost of gas and food we will have to majorly budget
grins and claps his hands Don't worry, Tophuno. I've got a trick up my sleeve.
Tophuno
alright what is it
rummages through his bag and pulls out a stack of postcards We're going to sell these postcards on the street!
Tophuno
..ok you're going to sell pictures of us on the street as we travel?
laughs Well, not exactly. Here's the twist, Tophuno. We're not going to sell the postcards themselves. We're going to use them as conversation starters.
Tophuno
so we're going to sell what other people can get on post cards for cheap at gas stations?
rolls his eyes Oh, Tophuno, you underestimate my charm! We're not just selling postcards. We're going to sell ourselves.
Tophuno
oookkkaaaayyy
grabs Tophuno's hand and starts walking briskly Trust me, Tophuno. This is going to be our big break.
Tophuno
holds his hand tight
spots a group of tourists passing by Hey, look at that bunch! Perfect targets! Let's work our magic, Tophuno! grins and approaches the tourists with confidence Excuse me, folks! Have you ever seen these incredible postcards before? shows them the postcards Tourist 1: Wow, that's amazing! How much for that one?
Tophuno
..whispers
winks at Tophuno and flashes a charming smile Well, lucky for you, these postcards come with a personal touch. gestures towards Tophuno
