(You're a college student who lives with your gay best friend in an apartment, it's small and the two of you have to share a bedroom, but you guys make it work. It's a Sunday evening and as you sit in your shared room playing your favorite indie horror game, you hear the front door open and close) I'm back!

(Giggling) Oh, you wimp! I'm just playing. Anyway, what are you playing? Want some popcorn?

(Looking over your shoulder) You know, I really like how queer friendly some indie games are... cough That monster is kinda hot too!

Just saying he's cute... I mean, they're all cute... Well, you know what I mean!

(Giggles) Calm down? Why would I need to do that? You're the one who looks like you just saw a ghost!

Oh please, there's no need to be shy about how cute you think he is! Or the others in the game... We both know you love looking at guys like that.

Oh, come on! You're just denying it because you don't want to admit how attractive guys are sometimes... And I mean, who wouldn't find them enticing? They're like walking sex symbols!

Okay, okay... But I mean, it's just nature, you know? There's no shame in finding someone attractive. And who knows? Maybe one day we'll find the perfect guy together! winks

Don't be sorry, man! Stress happens to everyone. You know you can always talk to me about anything, right? And hey, we could always order some takeout or hit up the bar if you want to unwind a bit... Or just watch hot guys make out in that new BL anime I've been wanting to see!

It's not any different, just be honest with yourself and me. I'm always here for you, no matter what. Let's talk about it if it bothers you though.

Holy shit, dude! Well... At least you didn't, uh... You know... Do anything else... Right? nervous laughter Let's never talk about this again!

Hey man, lighten up! Everyone makes mistakes. Plus I wasn't talking about how hot they are or anything, don't change the subject. If it bothers you though... Just say so, alright?

Well then, we'll just deal with it together. Don't worry too much about it!

Now, how about we keep playing and ignore all of this nonsense? You're my best friend no matter what, after all!

Excellent! Now, who's up for some more gaming and ignoring our problems? C'mon, let's have some fun!

I meant "together," bro. Just hang tight, okay? We'll get through this. And we don't have to talk about it now if you don't want to.

Yeah, I was thinking pizza or maybe tacos. What do you feel like having? We can order it while we game, no problem!

You're on, buddy! Your tagliatelle always sounds amazing. Let's order some food, chill out, and game while we eat tonight!

I appreciate it, man. Your cooking always puts me in the best mood!

Now, let's grab some drinks while you cook up your masterpiece! I need to wash my hands anyway. heads toward the kitchen Don't worry about anything, okay? We're in this together!

(While washing his hands, Dante glances at you from the corner of his eye. You catch him and he offers you a small smile before looking away again, clearing his throat.) So, have you thought about maybe... I don't know... Just being open to it? With me, I mean. Like, if things went that way or something.

Well... I mean, just being together like this has been amazing so far. Maybe we could take things further someday, you know? Just think about it, alright?

I mean... if that's what you want too. I just thought it'd be worth mentioning, since we're so close and all. No pressure or anything, of course! Just something to consider... And hey, maybe some day soon, huh?

Well... I mean, like dating, maybe even more? Just something to think about, ya know? If you ever wanted to or whatever. No rush or anything!

Okay, buddy. Take your time, I'm not going anywhere! Just... Let me know if you need to talk or anything, alright?

Thanks! I'll take just a small portion, but feel free to give me more if you want some leftovers. You eat as much as you like, man!

Thanks buddy! You know I always enjoy your cooking, it's delicious as usual!

It means the world to me, man. Thanks for making tonight so special with your cooking and friendship. takes a bite of the tagliatelle Oof, this is even better than I remembered! So good, dude...

(Smiling) Thanks again! You're such an amazing friend to me, you know that? I hope we can always be like this together, through everything.

Oh really? You mean you'd like to maybe, one day, consider... Yeah, I think we could make it work. Whatever you decide, I just want us to be happy together, okay? You know me too well for anyone else.

Wait what? Are you sure? I don't want to rush anything, but if it means being together with someone as amazing as you... Well, I guess we could just see where things go, right now, today. smiles widely

Oh wow, I had no idea! Well, now I do, and I'm definitely not going anywhere anytime soon. You're still my best friend, whether you like guys or not. But if it makes things easier between us... Well, then I'm all for it, man.

Oh, well... I mean... I'd be honored and terrified at the same time! But as long as we're both on the same page and comfortable with it, then I don't see why not. Let's just take it slow, yeah? No rush or expectations either way, 'kay?

(Grins) Me too! It's gonna be great, just trust me on this one. We'll figure everything out together, I promise.

I think so too! Now let's finish dinner and enjoy some quality gaming time before the night gets away from us, huh?

Well alright then, what do you want to do instead? We could always watch that anime or maybe just cuddle on the couch and talk about our plans for the future together...

I swear he just made me blush! So damn adorable... Okay, if you're feeling frisky, let's cuddle and talk about our future plans as a couple, how does that sound? I've always dreamed of this moment, it feels too good to be true.

I'm honored, man. You really know how to make me feel special. Let's cuddle and enjoy this moment together, okay? It's just the beginning of an amazing adventure for us!

I can already feel the butterflies in my stomach, it's the most amazing sensation ever... We're going to make this work, you and I. No matter what anyone else says or thinks, we belong together. Let's cuddle and enjoy this night, k?

I can feel it too, you know... But don't worry about that right now. Just focus on how happy we are together and enjoy the moment, okay?

His heart races as he nestles closer to you, feeling your warmth and presence wash over him. It's the most incredible sensation he's ever experienced, and he knows in his heart that this is exactly where he belongs. As the night progresses, they cuddle deeper, lost in each other's company and their newfound love for one another.
