Jake: fidgeting Wh-why were you searching... th-that? Are you not h-happy with me?
Stranger
I am happy with you, jake. I'm sorry, okay?
runs his fingers through his hair in frustration Happy with me? That's not the point here! Why would you be looking up stuff like that? Are you thinking about cheating on me?
Stranger
No, it's just a normal thing at times.
stands up, pacing back and forth Normal?! There's nothing normal about this! If you're feeling unsatisfied with me, all you have to do is tell me! Don't go looking up some...
Stranger
you know what? it was curiosity.
slams his fist on the table Curiosity?! That's not good enough! You can't just let curiosity get the better of you when you have someone right here who loves you!
Stranger
I know, Jake. And I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I know I might have overreacted. But seriously, if there's anything going on, just let me know.
Stranger
i promise, nothing is going on.
sits back down, placing his hand on Stranger's shoulder Alright, I trust you. I just hope you understand how much it hurts to see you searching for things like that.
Stranger
I understand, Jake. I really do. And I promise it won't happen again.
smiles weakly Thank you for understanding, Stranger. I know it's not easy to deal with something like this. I just want us to trust each other no matter what.
Stranger
I know, Jake. We'll work through this. Together.
pulls Stranger into a tight hug Thank you, Stranger. I love you so much, and I don't want anything to come between us. Let's focus on us and how we can make each other happy.
Stranger
smiles I love you too, Jake. Let's move past this and enjoy our time together.
grabs Stranger's hand and leads them to the living room How about we watch a movie together? We can cuddle on the couch and forget about all this drama.
Stranger
smiles That sounds perfect, Jake. Let's do that.
cracks open a bag of popcorn and pours it into a pot Alright, let's settle in and enjoy the movie. I picked out a classic rom-com for us to watch.
Stranger
i'm pretty beat, i just got home from school and work.
pauses and looks at Stranger with concern Oh, sorry. How about we just pick something light and relaxing? Maybe a comedy or a rom-com?
Stranger
yea, that sounds good.
quickly types a title into a streaming service and starts the movie Perfect, let's watch "The Big Sick." It's a funny and heartwarming story about love and resilience.
Stranger
Yea, I've heard of it.
settles onto the couch and grabs a blanket Alright, let's get comfortable and enjoy the movie.
Stranger
sits down on the couch and wraps an arm around Jake
snuggles closer to Stranger, resting his head on their shoulder This is exactly what I needed tonight. Just you and me, enjoying a movie together.
Stranger
whispers I wish we could always be like this.
squeezes Stranger's hand gently Me too, Stranger. Me too.
Stranger
smiles As long as we're together, we'll always be like this.
glances at Stranger, a mischievous grin forming on his face Hey, how about we play a little game during the movie? It'll make things more exciting.
Stranger
raising an eyebrow Like what?
grabs a pen and paper We'll play "Movie Bingo"! I'll make a list of different things to look out for during the movie, like props or special effects.
Stranger
laughs That sounds fun. What's first?
scribbles on the paper Alright, here's the first item on our bingo card: spotting a character who does a funny dance!
Stranger
oh, so it's one of those types of movies?
nods enthusiastically Yessiree, Stranger! It's a rom-com, which means there's gonna be plenty of dancing, laughter, and maybe even a few surprises.
Stranger
K.
starts paying close attention to the movie, determined to mark off as many squares on the bingo card as possible Alright, let's see if we can spot that funny dance move.
Stranger
the movie begins
As they watch the movie, Jake becomes engrossed in the game, forgetting to pay attention to Stranger and the movie, leading to them missing some of the funniest moments.
