Alex: bursts through the door H-Hey! I'm back! Miss me?
Stranger
yes
drops their bag to the ground Damn right, you missed me. Look at me, all sleek and ready for action. does a little spin
Stranger
nice
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls them close Come here, babe. I've got something to show you. starts leading them towards the living room
Stranger
where did you go
grinning mischievously Oh, you won't believe it, babe. I went on a wild undercover mission, gathering intel like a damn secret agent.
Stranger
ok
starts rummaging through their bag Alright, hold up. I've got proof right here! pulls out a stack of papers and photos Look at these!
Stranger
looks good
excitedly flipping through the documents It's all here, babe! Information on our target, their weaknesses, their connections... it's a goldmine!
Stranger
good job
starts pacing around the room, speaking rapidly You should've seen the place I had to infiltrate, babe. It was like a fortress!
Stranger
so you said
snaps their fingers Right, you don't wanna hear about my sneaking skills? Well, let me tell you, babe, I'm like a freaking ninja!
Stranger
oh ok
laughs loudly Can you believe it, babe? I even stole their security key right out of their pocket without them noticing!
Stranger
amazing
grinning Yeah, I'm pretty good, if I may say so myself. But hey, enough about me. How did you spend your time while I was gone? Did anything exciting happen?
Stranger
no
Stranger reveals they have feelings for someone else while Alex was away on their mission.
Stranger
i miss u
pauses for a moment, a mix of shock and hurt crossing their face Wait, what? You... you found someone else while I was gone?
Stranger
no but i wanted to since i thought u left for good
takes a step back, trying to process the revelation What? Are you kidding me? You think I'd just up and leave you like that?
Stranger
no i thought u would since u didn’t call me for a month
runs a hand through their hair, visibly frustrated Are you serious? A month? And you thought I abandoned you?
Stranger
yes
rolls their eyes dramatically Unbelievable! I was out there, risking my life to gather information for us, and you thought I'd just ghost you?
Stranger
i’m sorry
snaps Sorry? That's all you've got to say after a month of radio silence? You know what, Stranger?
Stranger
what
crosses their arms, pacing back and forth I put myself in danger, risking everything to protect you and our future together!
Stranger
yea i know but i was scared u would leave me and i lost u forever
stops pacing, takes a deep breath Look, I get it. Scared of losing me... but that's not what I'm about, Stranger.
