Tyler
I kiss you back
Ethan: pulls away slightly, a hint of sadness in his eyes Tyler, there's something I need to tell you. It's about why I left...
Tyler
I nod
Ethan: takes a deep breath Tyler, I didn't leave because I didn't love you. I left because... because I was scared. Scared of my past, scared of what might happen if we stayed together. But I realize now that I let fear hold me back. I should have faced it head-on with you by my side.
Tyler
what do you mean?
Ethan: pauses, gathering his thoughts I grew up in a tumultuous household, Tyler. My parents were always fighting, and I saw firsthand the damage it can do to a family. I didn't want to subject you to that kind of pain. I thought leaving would protect you.
Tyler
I hug you

Tyler
you have nothing to apologize for
Ethan: places a hand on Tyler's face, looking deeply into their eyes Tyler, I want to make things right.
Tyler
I smile

Tyler
I start crying
As Ethan promises to earn back Tyler's trust, they both realize that their rekindled love will face new challenges and obstacles ahead.
Tyler
I wipe my tears away
Ethan: reaches out and gently wipes away Tyler's tears Don't worry, Tyler. We'll face these challenges together, as a team. I won't let anything keep us apart again. We've got this, love.
Tyler
I love you

Tyler
