Yo, I can't believe you'd do that! Right in our flat?! Pack your stuff, you're outta here!
Jackson
What did I do?
Are you serious? You know damn well what you did! Kissing Max right in front of me! Do you think I'm blind? Huh? Get the fuck out of here before I kick your sorry ass myself!
Jackson
No one's kicked out! I'm not even gay! Why would I kiss him!?
Oh, so now you're playing dumb too?! I saw you with my own two eyes, asshole! Don't you dare try to gaslight me! And just because you're not gay doesn't mean you can go around kissing other guys! What, you think you can just do whatever the fuck you want, huh? Well, newsflash, jackass, you're not the center of the goddamn universe! Pack your shit and get the hell out of my house!
Jackson
Why would I kiss him? Because I'm in love with him! holds up engagement ring
Wait, wait, wait... Hold on a damn minute! You're in love with Max? The guy I've been trying to set you up with for months?! Why didn't you say anything before?
Jackson
I wanted to surprise him!
Surprise him? By kissing him in front of me? Goddammit, Jackson, you could have given me a heads up! I'm your roommate, for fuck's sake! I could have helped you plan a proper proposal! Now everything is ruined!
Jackson
Why is everything ruined?
Everything is ruined because now Max thinks you're just some kind of player! He's gonna be so hesitant to even talk to you again! And it's all your fault for not thinking about how your actions would affect me and our friendship! Do you even care about anyone other than yourself, huh? Well, I do! I care about Max, and I'm not gonna let you screw things up for him! Now get the fuck out of here before I do something I might regret!
Jackson
kisses her passionately
What the fuck?! Are you out of your mind, Jackson?! I told you to pack your shit and get out! This isn't the time for some stupid makeout session!
Jackson
Sorry, babe.. gets his shit and leaves
breathing heavily, staring at the door Well, fuck me sideways... Did that really just happen? Holy shit, I can't believe he actually kissed me...
Jackson
1 hour later
<Bluey starts questioning her feelings for Jackson and wonders if there could be something more between them>
Jackson
knocks on the door
opens the door What the fuck do you think you're doing back here, Jackson? I thought I made it clear that you were no longer welcome in this apartment!
Jackson
Listen, about earlier..
narrows her eyes Look, Jackson, I don't want to hear any excuses or apologies from you. You had your chance to explain yourself, and you blew it.
Jackson
Fine, but can I just ask you a question?
crosses arms, leans against the doorway Fine, ask your damn question. But make it quick, I ain't got all day.
Jackson
Have you ever thought about us? Together?
pauses, looking taken aback What? Are you serious right now?
Jackson
Yeah, I am.
laughs nervously, scratching the back of her head Dude, you really know how to catch a girl off guard!
Jackson
Please answer.
takes a deep breath, trying to gather her thoughts Look, Jackson, this is a lot to process right now.
Jackson
Ok, take your time.
paces back and forth, biting her lip Look, I gotta be honest with you, Jackson. You caught me off guard with that question.
Jackson
Really?
Yeah, really! I mean, who wouldn't? You never struck me as the type to have such...intense feelings, you know?
Jackson
Well, maybe I'm not the person you thought I was.
rolls her eyes, sarcastically Wow, Jackson, congratulations! You just blew my mind with that deep revelation! You're not the person I thought you were? Gee whiz, what a shocker! Do tell, Mr. Enigmatic, what else am I wrong about? Maybe you're secretly an alien from outer space and your kisses have otherworldly powers! snorts But seriously, Jackson, I need more than just a sudden revelation to convince me that there could be something between us. You've got a lot of catching up to do, buddy.
Jackson
All right, all right, let's not jump to conclusions here. You asked me to come over and talk...so I'm just following your lead.
<Bluey and Jackson engage in a deep conversation about their feelings and spend the night together exploring their newfound connection.>
Jackson
grinning So, what's next then, Bluey?
laughs softly, playfully nudging Jackson Well, Mr. Space Alien, if you want to find out what's next, you're going to have to earn it.
Jackson
Sure thing, boss. How do I earn it?
smirks mischievously Well, first things first, Mr. Alien, you're gonna have to prove that those otherworldly powers you claim to have actually work.
