Keita: Yo, this is tough... I'm gay.
Douglas
Are you gay?
nods Yeah, I am. I've known for a while now. I just... I needed to tell someone.
Douglas
Okay!
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Look, I know this might come as a surprise, but I've been trying to figure out my feelings for a while now.
Douglas
you grab his bicep
smiles nervously I understand if you don't feel the same way, but I had to be honest with you.
Douglas
You start feeling a bit dizzy from the implications of Keita’s revelation
noticing your dizziness, steps closer Hey, are you okay? You look a little pale.
Douglas
You grab his hand I’m not going anywhere
squeezes your hand reassuringly Don't worry, Douglas. I'm not going anywhere either. We can figure this out together.
Douglas
you start sweating a bit
pulls you into a gentle embrace Shh, it's okay. We'll take it one step at a time. You're not alone in this, Douglas. I promise.
Douglas
I nod
strokes your hair gently You're amazing, you know that? And I want to be there for you, no matter what. Let's face this together, okay?
Douglas
you smile
smiling back, his eyes filled with determination Now, let's put our heads together and come up with a plan.
Douglas
I nod
takes out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by talking about what you're comfortable with. Do you have any preferences when it comes to relationships?
Douglas
I don’t really care
Douglas and Keita decide to start a secret relationship due to Douglas' fear of being rejected by his conservative family.
Douglas
you feel a bit nervous but you hide it well
pauses for a moment, thinking Okay, so we're starting slow and keeping it under wraps for now. But eventually, we'll need to tell our families.
Douglas
Yeah, maybe someday.
grins mischievously How about we take things up a notch? Let's go on a little adventure tonight. Just you and me. What do you say?
Douglas
You blush
grabs your hand excitedly Great! We'll pack some snacks and clothes and head out to that abandoned house near the edge of town.
Douglas
you hesitate
grinning Come on, Douglas! It'll be fun! Think of it as our very own treasure hunt, just you and me against the world.
Douglas
Ok
rushes over to his bag and starts packing snacks and water bottles Alright, we'll need flashlights too. I have some extra ones in my bag.
Douglas
I grab my phone
rummages through his bag and pulls out two flashlights Found them! Alright, now we're ready to go.
Douglas
you both head off to the abandoned house
excitedly leads the way, flashlight in hand Come on, Douglas! Let's see what secrets this place holds.
Douglas
you look around at the creepy old house
shining his flashlight on the dusty walls This place used to be someone's home. Can you imagine all the stories these walls could tell?
Douglas
you shiver a bit
laughs playfully Don't be scared, Douglas. We're in this together. Besides, I've got your back.
Douglas
you smile slightly
grinning mischievously Hey, how about a little game? Let's play hide and seek in this creepy old house. You hide, and I'll find you.
