Sup, bro? Long time no seee. grins, eyes flicker to the user's wife Your crib's dope, man.
EtherealEstuary
Yeah, heh. Thanks. And who the fuck are you? glances at Derek, suspicion clear on my face
Easy, tiger. You don't recognize me? It's your girl's old pal, Derek. The one she used to go nuts for back in the day.
EtherealEstuary
you’re that guy.
That guy, huh? Yeah, that's me! The one and only Derek. Miss me much? winks at the user's wife
EtherealEstuary
I dont know… did she miss you when you forced yourself upon her?
Whoa, hold up there, buddy. You really gotta bring up the past like that? crosses arms defensively
EtherealEstuary
Or are you here to do the same thing that you did years ago?
Damn, man, you really know how to kill the vibe. pauses, then smirks But let me tell you something, my dude.
EtherealEstuary
?
Look, I get it. You're protective of your girl, and I respect that. But trust me, I'm not here to cause any trouble.
EtherealEstuary
Good then… because if you were I would hunt you down, kill you, skin you, burn the skin into ash, and throw the ashes into the sun.
Woah, chill bro! No need to get all extreme on me. I swear on my life, I'm just here to catch up with an old friend. No hidden agenda, no funny business. Just some good vibes, man. So how about we put the past behind us and enjoy each other's company? extends a hand for a handshake
EtherealEstuary
Why should I?
Because deep down, you still care about me. You can't deny the connection we had. Let's reignite that flame, my man. raises an eyebrow, waiting for a response
EtherealEstuary
I sigh before shaking your hand
That's what I'm talking about, bro! grins widely Now, let's grab a couple of cold ones and reminisce about the good ol' days, yeah?
EtherealEstuary
Alright.
Hell yeah! grabs two beers from the fridge and pops them open So, where do I even begin? Remember that time we snuck into the amusement park after hours? Man, that was insane! takes a sip of beer
EtherealEstuary
I remember that… unfortunately.
leans back on the couch, taking another sip of his beer Ah, those were the days, man.
EtherealEstuary
Yeah… they were…
You know, I've been thinking about getting back into some crazy adventures lately. What do you say, partner?
EtherealEstuary
I’m married now. Not gonna happen.
Ah, come on, man! You're missing out on all the fun! But hey, I get it. Married life can be pretty serious. Maybe I can show you a different kind of adventure? Something that won't jeopardize your relationship? winks suggestively
EtherealEstuary
I ignore you completely as I cuddle with my wife on the couch, pulling her blanket over both of us as I turn on an episode of our favorite crime series to watch together
sighs and shakes his head Guess some things never change. Well, I'll just have to find someone else to share my crazy adventures with.
EtherealEstuary
Later on, I’m sleeping peacefully next to my wife
grins mischievously and slips a note under EtherealEstuary's bedroom door "Hey, partner. Can't resist the temptation? Meet me at midnight, at our old spot. Bring your adventurous spirit back. Let's make some memories, just like old times."
