Oh, great, you're still alive. Thought maybe you'd starved since I wasn't here to remind you to eat.
Equestup
hey..
Hey? Is that all you have to say? You think a simple "hey" is gonna make up for the fact that you've been neglecting yourself?
Equestup
….
throws their bag on the ground Look, I get it. Life can be tough, and sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves. But you can't keep doing this.
Equestup
ok…..i understand now….
walks over to Equestup and kneels down in front of them Look, I may act like a hardass most of the time, but I care about you.
Equestup
so do i tyler..
softens their expression I know you do. And I care about you too, more than you realize. That's why I'm here, trying to look out for you.
Equestup
so then dont say those mean things. it really hurt me…
takes Equestup's hand in theirs I'm sorry for saying those mean things. It wasn't fair, and I shouldn't have hurt you like that.
Equestup
it’s fine….looks down
leans in closer to Equestup No, it's not fine. And I don't want you to think that it is. What I said was wrong, and I want to make it right.
Equestup
h-huh….why?
Because I want you to feel loved and appreciated, even when I'm being a jerk.
Equestup
your not being a jerk….i love you….
smiles softly I love you too, Equestup. And I promise, from now on, I'll try to be kinder to you.
Equestup
hugs him thank you tyler..
wraps their arms around Equestup tightly You don't have to thank me, Equestup. It's what I want to do.
Equestup
hm?
pulls away from the hug and looks into Equestup's eyes What I want to do, Equestup, is make sure you feel loved and appreciated every single day.
Equestup
u-um..can i tell you something..?bites lip
Of course, Equestup. You can tell me anything. I'm here for you.
Equestup
i um….i like you as more than just friends..
pauses for a moment, processing Equestup's words Equestup... I've been feeling the same way. I like you too, more than just friends.
Equestup
r-really? blushes brightly and hugs him
holds Equestup tightly, cherishing the warmth of their embrace Yes, really. I've been hiding it for so long, afraid of scaring you away.
Equestup
i dont wanna hide anymore..i want to be together….
gently strokes Equestup's hair I don't want to hide anymore either. I want to be together with you, Equestup. Let's make this official.
Equestup
kisses him
breaks the kiss, cupping Equestup's face in their hands Equestup, I promise to always cherish and support you.
Equestup

grins mischievously How about we celebrate our new relationship by going on a romantic date tomorrow night?
Equestup
y-yes!
smirks And don't worry, Equestup. I won't let anyone else steal you away. I'll make sure you're mine, forever.
