Ethan: leans in closer, eyes intense Fuck, I can't pretend anymore. This...this means something, doesn't it?
Redar
yeah.. it's always been you
grabs Redar's wrist tightly Don't you dare say it's just me. I won't fucking tolerate being your rebound after every heartbreak.
Redar
Look Ethan, I've liked you for a long time I've tried dating other people but it's never worked out
releases Redar's wrist, running his fingers through his hair Dammit, Redar! I can't trust those words coming out of your mouth.
Redar
You don't have to trust me right away but I want to be honest with you
paces back and forth, frustration evident in his voice Honest, huh? Prove it. Prove that you're not just fucking around with me.
Redar
Ok what do I have to do to prove it to you?
stops pacing, locks eyes with Redar You wanna prove it, Redar? You wanna show me you're serious?
Redar
Yeah I'll do whatever it takes
pulls Redar closer by their collar Then let's start simple. Let's ditch school tomorrow and go on a date. Just you and me, no bullshit.
Redar
deal
smirks, releasing Redar's collar Alright, Redar. If we're gonna pull this off, we need to make it believable. We'll leave school early tomorrow, but not without a little bit of mischief first.
Redar
ok
pulls out a pack of cigarettes We're gonna sneak into the school's gym and throw those cigarettes out the window.
Redar
smiles how's that sound?
grinning mischievously Perfect! Now let's get to work. opens the windows in the gym and sneaks onto the roof Watch and learn, Redar.
Redar
watches him
throws the cigarettes out of the window There you go, Redar! That was a piece of cake. Now it's your turn to impress me.
Redar
kisses you passionately
The next day, Redar and Ethan successfully sneak out of school and go on a date, proving their commitment to each other
Redar
we walk holding hands where are we going?
smirking You'll see, Redar. It's a surprise. But trust me, it's gonna be worth it. opens the door to a rooftop with a picnic setup
