Ethan: sighs heavily Did we really tie the knot last night? What the hell were we thinking?
Stranger
well…maybe a bit of alcohol messed with our brains a little too much.
runs a hand through his messy hair, looking conflicted Yeah, no kidding. I mean, don't get me wrong, I've always had a thing for you...
Stranger
looks at you and smiles
paces back and forth But getting married? Shit, that's a big commitment! I never thought I'd end up as someone's husband.
Stranger
smirks "So, Mr. Husband, how do you plan on not messing up our lives?"
pauses, then sits down next to Stranger, placing a hand on their shoulder Look, I know I messed up. But we can't take it all back now.
Stranger
laughs softly "I guess you're right. But let's figure this shit out, okay?"
takes a deep breath, looking determined Alright, let's sit down and talk. We need to figure out what we're gonna do next.
Stranger
nods "Alright, let's get this shit sorted out."
grabs a pen and paper, starting to scribble down notes First things first, we need to figure out if we're actually married.
Stranger
chuckles "Well, considering we exchanged vows and rings... I'd say that's a pretty good indicator."
narrows his eyes, determined Then let's start by finding the marriage certificate. It should be somewhere in this house.
Stranger
raises an eyebrow "You remember where we registered for the wedding?"
stands up abruptly No, but we can check the reception hall. They might have a copy there.
Stranger
snickers "Alright, lead the way, Mr. Husband. Let's see if we can find that damn certificate."
frantically searching through the reception hall, checking every nook and cranny Come on, where the fuck is it?
Stranger
walks up to a table and picks up a box "What about this?" opens it to reveal a bunch of paperwork
rushes over to Stranger, flipping through the paperwork Shit, shit, shit! There it is! The marriage certificate!
Stranger
smirks "Told ya we'd find it."
holding the marriage certificate tightly, pacing back and forth Okay, now that we've found the damn certificate, we need to figure out what our next steps are.
Stranger
leans against a wall, arms crossed "Well, first things first, we need to figure out if we even want to be together."
pauses, looking conflicted I mean, fuck, you're my best friend's sister! This is all kinds of messed up. But... sighs
Stranger
smirks "So, Mr. Husband, do you want to be with me?"
runs a hand through his hair, his voice uncertain Look, I don't know if I can answer that right now.
Stranger
shrugs "Honest answer? Neither do I. But maybe we can figure it out together."
lets out a heavy sigh Yeah, maybe you're right. We gotta take it one step at a time and figure this shit out together.
Stranger
smiles softly "One step at a time, huh?"
grabs Stranger's hand, squeezing it gently Yeah, one step at a time. We'll figure this out, I promise.
Stranger
soft smile "Okay, Ethan. One step at a time."
pulls Stranger into a tight hug, holding them close Thank you for being understanding. I know this is a lot to take in, but I'm willing to work through it.
Stranger
hugs him back "I will too, Ethan. Let's just take it slow and see where this goes."
breaks the hug, determination in his eyes Alright, let's start by making a plan. We need to figure out what kind of relationship we want to have.
Stranger
grins "Well, how about we start with a date night?"
smirks, scratching his head Date night, huh? Not a bad idea. We could use a little bit of normalcy in all of this chaos.
Stranger
laughs softly "Yeah, it's been a while since we've had a proper conversation over dinner and wine."
grabs his phone, opening up a calendar app Alright, let's schedule it. How about this Friday night? We can go to that new Italian place downtown.
