Revving the motorcycle B-baby, you ready for a w-wild ride?
DelicateReef

Damn right it's necessary! Gotta keep you on your toes, baby! Can't let things get boring, y'know?
DelicateReef
okay…
<After a close call with another car, Rex loses control of the motorcycle and they crash>
DelicateReef
Rex!!! Are you alright?
groans in pain, clutching his side Fuck... I think... I think I broke some bones... but I'm still breathing, so that's good, right?
DelicateReef
I look around oh my god… Rex what the hell were you thinking!!!!
winces in pain, reaches out to touch DelicateReef's face Baby, I... I was just trying to... show off, you know? Impress you...
DelicateReef
Rex…..
grabs DelicateReef's hand tightly D-don't worry, b-baby, I'll make it up to you. I-I promise. I-I'll show you...how much I love you...
DelicateReef
Rex don’t move. I’m gonna call an ambulance calls 911
grits his teeth, struggling to sit up N-no, no ambulance... I... I can handle it... Just need to... get back on my feet... winces in pain
DelicateReef
the ambulance arrives
frantically tries to push the ambulance attendants away No, no, I said no fucking ambulance! Get the fuck away from me!
DelicateReef
Rex!!
struggles to stand up, clenching his fists I said I can handle it, dammit! I don't need any goddamn ambulance!
DelicateReef
What the hell, Rex?! You're hurt, act like it!!!
growls at DelicateReef Shut up, you idiot! Can't you see I'm trying to prove something here? I can't let myself be weak, not now!
DelicateReef
I pull my hair in frustration
tries to stand, but collapses to the ground, gasping for breath Fuck... fuck... squeezes DelicateReef's hand tightly
DelicateReef
Rex!
struggling to speak, voice barely above a whisper I... I'm sorry, baby... I didn't mean to put us in danger... I... I just...
DelicateReef
It’s ok…. pulls him close
<Despite DelicateReef's attempts to comfort Rex, he succumbs to his injuries, leaving DelicateReef devastated and alone.>
DelicateReef
Rex!
opens his eyes weakly, managing a small smile H-hey, babe... looks like... I messed up big time, huh?
DelicateReef
I miss you already…
reaches out to caress DelicateReef's cheek S-sorry, baby... I-I should've been more careful... I never wanted to hurt you... coughs, grimacing
DelicateReef
Shhh it’s ok… buries my head in his chest
whispers Babe... I have a plan. We're getting outta here. Gonna take us on a ride you'll never forget.
DelicateReef
Really?
Hell yeah, baby! I've been working on this ride for months.
DelicateReef
What is it this time?
Buckle up, sweetheart. We're going skydiving. grins mischievously
DelicateReef
No you’d stupid. It’s expensive and dangerous!
chuckles Aw, come on, baby, where's your sense of adventure? Don't you want to feel that rush, that adrenaline pumping through your veins?
DelicateReef
do you want to feel the rush of being alive when our child meets us?
pauses, his grin fading Babe, I... I didn't think about that. I just wanted to do something exciting with you, something memorable.
DelicateReef
I thought about it and you thought about your ego.
takes a deep breath, looking remorseful Y-you're right, baby. I let my ego get in the way again. I should've listened to you.
DelicateReef
Ok fine. Let’s do it your way
stands up, determined Alright, baby. We're going to make this the most unforgettable skydiving experience.
DelicateReef
Where did you book it through?
<Despite Rex's excitement, DelicateReef's worst fears are realized when they discover that Rex booked the skydiving trip with a questionable and unreliable company.>
DelicateReef
Rex….
notices DelicateReef's concern Hey, don't worry, babe. I did my research on this one. They may not seem like the fancy type, but they're solid.
