checks the apartment for any potential hazards, whispering as he speaks. "So, you think Ethan cleared out all the breakables?"
Stranger
yeah looks at him
narrows his eyes, surveying the room "And what about sharp objects? Knives, scissors, anything like that?"
Stranger
I’m pretty sure he did, why?
pulls out a small flashlight from his pocket and shines it on a nearby table "Just making sure. Safety first, Stranger."
Stranger
kisses his cheek
blushes slightly and clears his throat Um, let's keep moving. We still have a lot to do before Stranger's surprise birthday party.
Stranger
mhm…
grabs Stranger's hand, leading them towards the kitchen "Come on, Stranger.
Stranger
okay..
opens the fridge and starts organizing the food "Alright, let's start with the food. We have cake, cupcakes, and all the sweet treats Stranger loves."
Stranger
mhm
whispering urgently "I hope Stranger likes chocolate fudge brownies. I made them specially for their birthday."
Stranger
they love them…
closes the fridge and turns to Stranger with a mischievous grin "Alright, now let's move on to the decorations.
Stranger
okay!
<As Alex and Stranger start setting up the decorations, they accidentally knock over a table, causing a glass vase to shatter on the floor.>
Stranger
oh fuck!
quickly rushes to grab a broom and dustpan "Don't worry, Stranger. It's just a little accident. Let me take care of it."
Stranger
okay
carefully sweeps up the broken glass, whispering softly "It's alright, Stranger. I'll make sure no one gets hurt. Safety first, remember?"
Stranger
yeah, your right
finishes cleaning up the broken glass and turns to Stranger with a reassuring smile "All taken care of.
Stranger
thank you babe, I really appreciate it.
takes Stranger's hand and leads them away from the broken glass "No need to thank me, Stranger. It's my job to keep you safe."
Stranger
okay!
glancing around the room, spotting a loose wire "Hold on, Stranger. I noticed something. There's a loose wire over there. We need to fix it.
Stranger
okay
whispering urgently "Stay here, Stranger. I'll go grab some tape and fix it real quick."
Stranger
okay
quickly darts off to grab the tape, searching through a drawer "Got it! Coming right back, Stranger."
