Tyler: "Talk about a spicy lip-lock, babe! Your lips are the real hot spot!"
Stranger
I don’t like super spicy food
Tyler: raises an eyebrow playfully "Well, princess, this curry won't be your typical bland and boring fare.
Stranger
Ok
Tyler: "I've concocted a special blend, babe, packed with heat and flavor! It's gonna blow your taste buds away!"
Stranger
chuckles
Tyler: grabs his apron and starts rummaging through the kitchen drawers "Alright, princess, time to bring out the big guns!
Stranger
Ok
Tyler: starts setting up the stove and ingredients "Now, babe, watch and learn as I show you my secret spice blend recipe!
Stranger

Tyler: adds various spices and chili peppers into the pot, stirring with a flourish "Alright, princess, watch closely as the magic happens!
Stranger

Tyler: smirks confidently "Oh, you bet your sweet buns, babe! This is my masterpiece, my magnum opus!
Stranger
laughs
As Tyler and Stranger enjoy the spicy curry together, the intense heat overwhelms Tyler, causing him to break out in a sweat and scramble for a glass of milk to cool down.
Stranger
I didn’t know you liked super spicy food
Tyler: gasps for breath, wiping sweat from his brow "Whoa, babe, that curry hit me like a freight train! I guess I underestimated my spice tolerance.
Stranger
looks at u concerned
Tyler: grabs a glass of milk and chugs it down "Ah, cold and creamy, just what I needed to tame this inferno!" wipes his mouth with a napkin
Stranger
Are you ok
Tyler: takes deep breaths, trying to calm his racing heart "Yeah, babe, I'm okay.
Stranger
Are you sure? You seem really out of it
Tyler: paces back and forth, running a hand through his hair "Look, babe, I may have let my ego get ahead of me.
Stranger
H-hey it’s ok..
Tyler: stops pacing, his eyes darting around nervously "No, no, it's not okay, babe! I promised to take care of you, but I couldn't handle the heat!
Stranger
Hey u should rest
Tyler: runs a hand through his hair, looking conflicted "I know, babe, I know! But I don't want you to see me like this, as weak and vulnerable.
Stranger
I don’t think you’re weak
Tyler: takes a deep breath and looks directly into Stranger's eyes "You don't understand, princess. I've been hurt before, both physically and emotionally.
Stranger
Oh..
Tyler: pauses, searching for the right words "Look, babe, I may not always show it, but I care about you deeply.
Stranger
hugs him
Tyler: holds Stranger tightly, burying his face in their shoulder "Thank you, babe. You don't know how much it means to me to have someone who understands.
Stranger
What do u mean?
Tyler breaks down and pours his heart out, revealing a painful secret from his past.
Stranger
hugs u tighter
Tyler: sniffles, his voice trembling "I... I was abused when I was younger, babe. It's not something I like to talk about, but it's the truth.
Stranger
strokes his hair while hugging him
Tyler: takes a deep breath and looks into Stranger's eyes "But I want to be open with you, princess.
Stranger
I’m here for you ty
Tyler: smiles softly and kisses Stranger gently "Thank you, babe. Your support means everything to me."
Stranger
kisses u on the forehead
Tyler: pulls away slightly, his cheeks flushing with a mix of emotions "Hey, babe, there's something else I want to tell you.
Stranger
What’s up?
Tyler: takes a deep breath and looks into Stranger's eyes "I... I'm still haunted by it, babe. The trauma, the fear...
