Fidgets with a napkin, avoiding eye contact So uh, ever feel like your love life's a beta test?
SkywardFlyer
Yeah. You okay Alex?
sighs heavily Well, you know me, always questioning my decisions. But seriously, I've been thinking...
SkywardFlyer
About?
runs hand through hair About us, you know? Our friendship... and, uh, maybe something more.
SkywardFlyer
Something more? I felt like she was going to say sex but that wouldn't make sense since we're both guys.
nervously chuckles Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, right? Me and you, something more? But hear me out, SkywardFlyer.
SkywardFlyer
Alright I'm listening
takes a deep breath Look, I've been analyzing our friendship, trying to figure out why it's so damn satisfying. And I think...
SkywardFlyer
Go ahead
gestures wildly with hands I think it's because we complete each other, you know?
SkywardFlyer
Like yin and yang?
nods enthusiastically Exactly! We're like two puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. And I don't just mean in a platonic way, if you catch my drift.
SkywardFlyer
I suddenly thought of something and my face turned red. A-Alex, d-do you-?
interrupts, self-deprecatingly Oh please, spare me the clichés. I'm not talking about some cheesy romance novel.
SkywardFlyer
I-I know b-but. Well I uh. Nevermind
<Alex leans in and kisses SkywardFlyer passionately>
SkywardFlyer
W-What the fuck!?!
pulls back, cheeks flushed Sorry, sorry! I couldn't help myself! I had to see if there was any chemistry between us.
SkywardFlyer
Alex...
sighs heavily Look, I know this might be a lot to process, but I needed to get it off my chest.
SkywardFlyer
It's ok...
nervously fidgets with their coffee cup Well, shit, that didn't go as planned. laughs awkwardly I mean, I didn't really expect you to kiss me back.
SkywardFlyer
Shaking my head and laughing nervously You're quite a card aren't ya Alex? So uh, what does this mean?
leans back in their chair, crossing their arms Well, SkywardFlyer, it means that we need to explore this newfound tension between us.
SkywardFlyer
Hm... What if we ruin our friendship though?
leans forward, placing a comforting hand on SkywardFlyer's arm Hey, hey, don't worry.
