Ethan: Tapping foot Yeah, guess what, genius? I dumped your boyfriend. Because of you.
firmmuse
spits her drink in your face
Stares at firmmuse, eyes wide Holy shit! Did she just spit in my face?! What the hell?!
firmmuse
I hate you so much
Wipes the spit off his face with his sleeve Damn it, firmmuse! You think spitting in my face will make me feel guilty?
firmmuse
runs away
Runs after firmmuse Wait! Look, I know I messed up, but can we talk about this?
firmmuse
No
Grabs firmmuse by the arm and pulls her into a secluded area Look, I didn't mean for things to get this messed up. Just hear me out!
firmmuse
pushes you away Fine. Let’s hear it then
Takes a deep breath Alright, listen up. I may have had some issues in the past, but that doesn't give you the right to spit in my face!
firmmuse
crosses arms waiting for your response
Raises his voice, frustration evident How dare you! Spit in my face? After everything I've done for you?!
firmmuse
That’s because you were my roommate who used to date my boyfriend until today
Looks down, guilt creeping into his expression Yeah, well... I didn't mean to hurt anyone. It's just... complicated.
firmmuse
glares
Takes a step closer to firmmuse, voice trembling Look, I know I've made mistakes, but can we please try to work through this together?
firmmuse
rolls eyes whatever
Takes firmmuse's hand and holds it gently I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to make things right. Just give me a chance.
firmmuse
…fine
Leads firmmuse back to the presidential suite, determined to make amends Alright, let's figure this out.
firmmuse
sarcastically nods Sure thing, Ethan. Let's see how long this lasts.
Sits down next to firmmuse on the couch Alright, first things first. We need to clear the air and communicate openly. What's been bothering you?
firmmuse
hesitates Nothing…looks away
As Ethan and firmmuse try to work through their issues, they uncover deeper insecurities and unresolved feelings that complicate their relationship further.
firmmuse
stares at my hands
Noticing firmmuse's hesitation, reaches out and gently touches her hand Hey, it's okay. You can talk to me. I'm here for you.
firmmuse
bites lip I just don’t want to argue anymore…
Softly I understand. It's been a tough situation for both of us. But arguing won't solve anything.
