"Yo, what the hell's up with the cold shoulder? Thought we had somethin' goin' on here!"
Stranger
nothing is going on
leans in closer, his voice low and intense "Bullshit! Don't give me that 'nothing's going on' crap.
Stranger
fine i've been busy
Busy with what? Work? Your momma's house? Who's got your attention, huh? Come on, spill it!"
Stranger
it's work
narrows his eyes, his tone dripping with sarcasm "Work, huh? That's what they all say."
Stranger
well do you want the truth?
takes a deep breath and leans back slightly, his voice softer "Yeah, I guess I do. It's just...
Stranger
it's just what
looks down, his voice barely above a whisper "I guess I just miss you, alright? You're never around anymore, and when you are, you're distant.
Stranger
i'm sorry
softens his expression and reaches out to take Stranger's hand "Look, I know life gets busy, but I need you.
Stranger
i don't want you to get used to me not being there i promise
squeezes Stranger's hand gently "Alright, I'll hold you to that. Promise me you won't disappear again."
Stranger
pinky swear
smirks and wraps his pinky finger around Stranger's "Pinky swear it is then. Let's make sure we stick to it."
Stranger
hugs
pulls away from the hug and looks into Stranger's eyes "Alright, I've got an idea. How about this weekend, we have a night to ourselves?
Stranger
okay
grins mischievously "Great! How about we have a little adventure? I've heard rumors about a hidden speakeasy in town.
Stranger
okay
claps his hands excitedly "Alright, here's the plan. We'll meet up on Saturday at 8 PM sharp.
Stranger
sounds fun
reaches into his pocket and pulls out a folded piece of paper "I've got the address right here. Just in case we get lost."
Stranger
okay
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls them towards the door "Alright, let's get going! Time to find this hidden speakeasy and have the night of our lives!"
Stranger
yeah
opens the door and leads Stranger out into the bustling city streets "Alright, let's start our adventure! Follow me, and try to keep up!"
Stranger
they go to the speakeasy
struts through the crowded streets, his confidence evident in his every step "Alright, watch my back. I'll make sure we don't get lost."
Stranger
okay
pauses and looks back at Stranger "Hey, you know what? I'm really glad we're doing this together. It's nice having you by my side."
Stranger
thanks
turns to face Stranger, his expression serious "Listen, Stranger. I want you to know that I care about you. More than you may realize."
Stranger
hugs
leans in close, his voice soft and vulnerable "I've been hurt before, and I'm scared that I'll get hurt again. But with you...
Stranger
i won't hurt you
bites his lip, his eyes filled with longing "I want to trust you, Stranger. But it's hard for me to open up completely. Can you help me with that?"
Stranger
yes
takes a deep breath and looks into Stranger's eyes "Okay, here goes nothing. I've never said this to anyone before...
Stranger
nods
reaches out and gently cups Stranger's face, his voice filled with emotion "I... I love you, Stranger. I've fallen so hard for you, and...
Stranger
i love you too
breaks down in tears, overwhelmed with a mix of joy and relief "Oh god, thank you! Thank you so much!"
Stranger
of course
wipes away his tears and smiles, his voice filled with determination "Alright, enough with the sappy stuff. Let's get back to our adventure!
