1
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: Hey, there's my guy. How are you doing. Oh that's good.

2
00:00:17,839 --> 00:00:25,640
I'm all right. Oh uh do we like? Yeah? Hug, yeah,

3
00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:34,520
we can hug, right. Ah, it is so good to

4
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,799
see you. I'm so sorry that I came later than

5
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,439
I said I would. Two ding dongs crashed right at

6
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:46,840
the entrance to the campus park and blocked the entire

7
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,960
thing for thirty minutes. And before you ask, no one

8
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:55,200
was hurt. They were going real slow. No idea how

9
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,600
you crash at that speed. But the point is no

10
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,640
one was hurt, and I am more correct in calling

11
00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:07,959
them ding dongs. And then I figured I would grab

12
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,799
us a treat. So I stopped by the grocery store

13
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,879
and it was so quiet, but the guy in front

14
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,879
of me was putting up this massive fuss about the

15
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,439
price of something or other. I don't know. Anyway, I

16
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:30,319
am so very late, but I'm here and I brought

17
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:39,319
cheese cake. H don't thank me yet, given how my

18
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,480
day has been going, it probably tastes like rotten or

19
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:50,879
spoiled or her like socks. I don't know, no, no, no,

20
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:54,920
it's fine. I am just a little bit annoyed that

21
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,040
I lost the campus job, but it's not a big deal. Really,

22
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,680
I mean it's frustrating. Like the money was nice, even

23
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:06,640
though it wasn't that much. I put a lot of

24
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,319
my heart and soul into it, and I felt like

25
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:13,400
I was really helping to foster and improve the community

26
00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:19,159
a little, you know, And now it's just gone. I

27
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:23,960
don't get to do it anymore. So yeah, that sucks.

28
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,919
But never mind that. I don't want to bring down

29
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,639
the whole evening or the vibe. It's the end of

30
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,039
the week. All I want to do is hang out

31
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:35,759
with my buddy and eat some junk food while we

32
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:39,159
binge watch some obscure shown till we pass out from

33
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:46,159
exhaustion or a food coma. Oh, speaking of junk food,

34
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:52,240
we should probably order since I'm already late. And oh seriously,

35
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:58,560
you already ordered for us. Ugh, you literally are the best.

36
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,520
You got my ual, right, dude, you are awesome. Oh

37
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,599
my god, I was digging my nails into my steering

38
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:10,719
wheel on the way here. See thing about how I

39
00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:18,879
would have to wait forever to get dinner delivered amazing. Okay,

40
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:24,360
so let's get this night going, shall we. No annoying

41
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,759
sister slash best friends that we have to walk on

42
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,400
eggshells around. No, no, no, no, you know I love her.

43
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,879
It's just yeah, I know that we have to tell

44
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:44,159
her about us, but like I don't know what we

45
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:49,759
I just don't know. Look, I'm gonna put the cake

46
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,240
in the fridge. You want to start browsing for a show? Cool?

47
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,439
No way, trust me. If you eat a portion of

48
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:07,319
this cheesecake this early into the evening and before dinner,

49
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,199
your stomach will be hating you within the hour, I promise.

50
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaking of dinner, how far away is it? Still assigning

51
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:26,000
a drug? Okay, No, it's fine, it's fine. It's fine.

52
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,839
It's Friday night. That's to be expected, I suppose. All right,

53
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,399
let's just find a real absurd, stupid, weird show to

54
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:44,040
take our minds off the food. Yes, our minds. We're

55
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:47,439
stuck in this together. If you're not feeling the angry

56
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,120
flow through you, then you'll get secondhand angry from me

57
00:04:54,319 --> 00:05:01,000
to trust me. It's a science, all right. All right,

58
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:04,680
let's just pick something and can you scoot over please?

59
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,519
I mean, it's a three person couch and you're sitting

60
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:14,399
dead in the center. My guy. Yeah, but if I

61
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:17,839
do that, I won't be centered with the TV. So

62
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,040
just scoot over a tad and let me share the

63
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:31,360
middle with you. Thank you. Oh my gosh, really are

64
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:35,040
you taking drama classes? Now you don't have to scooch

65
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,839
over that far, and now you're making me feel like

66
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:45,079
I'm infectious or something. Get back here, Come on, surely

67
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,040
we're at least at the shoulder to shoulder stage right

68
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,399
there you go. See, now I can lean on you,

69
00:05:54,519 --> 00:06:00,279
and you're close enough to hear my tummy grumble? Is

70
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:10,680
my gift to you? Huh? Talk about what my grumby

71
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:18,759
tummy talking about? It won't help? Oh that well, there's

72
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:24,160
there's nothing to talk about there really isn't. I lost

73
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:30,199
a job and it's a bummer. End of story. I

74
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,319
know you're so sweet for caring, but it's really not

75
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,319
a big deal. Okay, you don't need to worry. Let's

76
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:42,759
just pick a show. Hm, that one looks interesting. What's

77
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:51,360
the description? Groundbreaking series? Blah blah blah. Follow Clarihium embarks

78
00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:54,480
on a new journey following the loss of her job

79
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:03,199
at maybe not that one. What are you apologizing for?

80
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:08,759
It's fine, It doesn't really bother me. It's just it's

81
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:13,279
just irritating to think about that's all. Yes, it's really okay.

82
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:18,399
Why would I lie? I don't really want to talk

83
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:20,800
about it because we've been looking forward to just being

84
00:07:20,839 --> 00:07:23,399
able to hang out this weekend with just the two

85
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:26,199
of us, and I don't want to bring down the

86
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:32,360
vibes with my bs. We don't need to talk about it.

87
00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:36,040
There's nothing to talk about. I got laid off from

88
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,160
my job that I liked, and that's the long and

89
00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:42,319
the short of it. I don't know why they fired me.

90
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:48,680
I well, I kind of do, but it's silly and

91
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,360
weird and not what I wanted tonight to be about.

92
00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:00,720
I just I didn't do anything wrong. I was always

93
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:04,800
on time, I took initiative, I followed rules, I did

94
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:10,360
what was expected and more. I really really don't get it.

95
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:19,800
Are you sure you want to hear about it? It's stupid, fine,

96
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:25,720
I trust you. There was this girl that I worked

97
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,639
with that I clashed with a lot. She was just

98
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:36,519
so obnoxious and selfish and rude, like just a rotten person. No,

99
00:08:36,759 --> 00:08:40,559
I won't say her name, but she was the daughter

100
00:08:40,639 --> 00:08:44,919
of the owner's friend or something like that. I don't know,

101
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,039
but she had connections, I guess. Anyway, last week we

102
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,559
got into a pretty heated argument. She really got on

103
00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:57,480
my nerves, and I thought that was the end of it.

104
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,720
But words spread away round pretty fast, and I figured

105
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:04,559
I should be prepared to tell my side of the

106
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,000
story when I came in today. And then before I

107
00:09:08,039 --> 00:09:14,200
could even say hello, I was told that I was terminated.

108
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,919
They didn't say that the argument was the reason. They

109
00:09:19,039 --> 00:09:22,080
just said the school cut decreased funding and they had

110
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,440
to let someone go. But I knew that that wasn't it,

111
00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:33,440
and not just because of that stupid little It's just

112
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,200
I thought I had earned something at least getting to

113
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,879
speak my peace. I really gave a lot of effort

114
00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:45,080
into helping out there. It just felt like such a

115
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,120
massive betrayal. Sorry, this is why I didn't want to

116
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:57,200
bring it up. I totally ruined the mood. No, I

117
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:03,799
don't feel like watching anything, to be honest. No, I

118
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,879
don't want to call it a night yet either. I

119
00:10:06,919 --> 00:10:09,480
was really looking forward to spending some time with you

120
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:22,120
can do you can we just you know, cuddle for

121
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:28,960
a little while, Yeah, just like until the food gets here.

122
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:43,159
Is that all right? Thanks? I just want to relax,

123
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,559
but my brain keeps running through all these scenarios if

124
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,960
I said something wrong, if I really was just a

125
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,519
bad worker, and my brain is just trying to convince

126
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,519
me that it was all my fault. Do you think so,

127
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:12,000
I don't know. Well, thank you. That's sweet of you

128
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:18,440
to say, and it doesn't really matter since I lost

129
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,759
the job, but it means a lot to hear that

130
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:28,960
from you. Yeah, of course you can ask me anything.

131
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:38,639
Oh right, damn, sorry, you're right. I wasn't totally honest.

132
00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:44,000
I got fired as soon as I went into work.

133
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:47,960
I just went to study in the library afterwards. Figured

134
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,399
I could use the freedom of time effectively, although I

135
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,519
just spent the whole time staring at a blank document

136
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,080
on my laptop, watching the cursor blank for a couple

137
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,559
of hours. I thought about texting you right away or

138
00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:07,399
your sister, but I didn't want to bother you or

139
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:14,000
her either. To be honest, I wasn't sure if I

140
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,440
was gonna tell you at all. No, No, I wasn't

141
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,600
afraid to tell you or anything. I just you're a

142
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:27,320
sweet guy, like really sweet, and I knew that you

143
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,919
would worry about me and it would just cause you stress,

144
00:12:30,799 --> 00:12:33,159
and I really didn't want you to have another thing

145
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,360
to think about you have enough on your plate as

146
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:39,879
it is. You don't need my personal bs on top

147
00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:42,639
of that. It wouldn't be fair to you, and it's

148
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,440
not fair to you now that you have to bear

149
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:52,600
with it. I guess while I event I know, I

150
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,720
know that you don't mind. You're just that kind of guy,

151
00:12:55,799 --> 00:13:01,679
but I still feel bad to me. You may not

152
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,600
feel like me venting as a bother, but that kind

153
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,000
of stress being piled on you might feel like it

154
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:09,960
weighs nothing now, but then when you start to go

155
00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:15,159
through your own stuff, it weighs a lot more. You

156
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,440
don't deserve this. I should be able to deal with

157
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:24,320
my own crap by myself. Well, I don't know. I

158
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:28,080
just feel like I'm older than you, so I'm not

159
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,799
supposed to be the one who goes to you for

160
00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:32,639
advice or comfort. It's supposed to be the other way around.

161
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,279
But here I am laying in your bed listening to

162
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,759
you give me all this wise advice. Well, I just

163
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:51,879
struggle to hold it together. I don't mean it like that.

164
00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:54,159
I know I'm not that much older than you, but

165
00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:58,039
still I feel like I should be more mature, have

166
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,240
my life more together, you know, And I'm not like

167
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,039
bitter about it. It's not like you make me feel

168
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,279
inadequate or whatever. I just I don't know, Like I said,

169
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:18,039
it's dumb. I think it was just the way that

170
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,480
you replied after I texted you, like I kept it

171
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,759
super vague and tried to be overly positive about it

172
00:14:25,759 --> 00:14:30,879
so you wouldn't worry. But you saw through it straight away, Oh,

173
00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:34,120
asking if I was okay, if I needed you to

174
00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:38,399
pick me up. Hmm. The fact that you saw through

175
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,879
my little fib over a text says a lot about

176
00:14:42,919 --> 00:14:46,399
how emotionally aware you are, and it kind of caught

177
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,519
me off guard. And then I tried to double down

178
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,080
on it when I got here, but you still saw

179
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:58,440
straight through me. I was really miserable, but I thought

180
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:04,000
I was hiding it well, but nope, you knew I

181
00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:06,919
was struggling, and you were there for me right from

182
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:13,799
the get go. No, don't take any of this the

183
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,919
wrong way. Being so emotionally in tune is such an

184
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:23,480
admirable quality. Honestly, I just felt happy that you cared

185
00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:27,159
so much about me, Like some people would be able

186
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:29,519
to tell that I wasn't doing well. But take the

187
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:31,919
fact that I said I was fine as an excuse

188
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,879
to not be there for me, you know, I don't know.

189
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:41,720
It was just really sweet. No, seriously, I don't mean

190
00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:50,720
that in any small way. You're genuinely such a great guy, kind, sweet, thoughtful, adorable.

191
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:58,720
There's a reason I texted you first about my day. Hey,

192
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,639
you're is a great confidant and friend. But when my

193
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:12,679
brain craved comfort and safety, I thought of you. Honestly,

194
00:16:13,559 --> 00:16:17,600
thinking about you and our little get together tonight was

195
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:20,759
the only thing getting me through the day without shutting down.

196
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:30,279
So thank you just for being there. But I have

197
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:41,159
to ask what are we? Are we friends? Or I know,

198
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:44,240
I know that we confessed our feelings to each other

199
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:46,720
and we kissed and we even said that we would

200
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:49,679
start dating. But after the rush of that night kind

201
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,200
of wore off. It just hit me, you know, like

202
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,000
maybe I came off too strong or I pressured you

203
00:16:56,039 --> 00:17:00,799
in some way and things just felt a little awkward

204
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,519
since then. And as much as I want to say

205
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:07,400
it was, I don't think it was because your sister

206
00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:12,680
was around. I don't know. I just want to make

207
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,440
sure that it's what you want, that I'm what you want.

208
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,319
I mean, you've seen the kind of baggage I can

209
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:27,200
come with. Really, Oh, that's so nice of you to say.

210
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,079
I mean, I know I'm super cool and cute and

211
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:36,160
funny and awesome, but besides that, what are you seeing me?

212
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,960
Of course, of course, and I'm mega humble too. I

213
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,960
always forget about that part. But if that's the case,

214
00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:56,640
then I'm ready to go all in with you. If

215
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:02,720
you are, and I mean that, no more secrets, no

216
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:07,079
more walking on eggshells. We tell people that we're together,

217
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,559
and we can be openly sweet to each other, all

218
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:16,640
of it, no more holding back. I was just scared before,

219
00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:19,920
but now I'm sure that you're the guy for me.

220
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,400
You're just so unbelievably kind and supportive and thoughtful. And

221
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,640
not just tonight either. Ever since that night in the closet,

222
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:38,039
you've been there for me emotionally and physically. I can't

223
00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:52,519
fully describe how much that's meant to me, but I'll try. Well.

224
00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:56,559
I figure if a picture tells a thousand words, then

225
00:18:56,599 --> 00:19:02,720
a kiss to tell at least five hundred. Oh yeah,

226
00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:18,920
m okay, then is that enough? But seriously, seriously, I

227
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,640
never want you thinking that I don't see and appreciate

228
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,119
everything you do for me, even the small stuff. I mean, damn,

229
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,440
you already know what kind of food I like and

230
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:32,160
nailed the order tonight without needing my input. That's pretty

231
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,759
amazing to do, at least to me. No one's ever

232
00:19:35,839 --> 00:19:40,720
cared that much. And you're happy to just sit here

233
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:45,920
with me on the couch in each other's arms. I

234
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:52,559
don't know how you could get any better, honestly, but yeah,

235
00:19:53,039 --> 00:20:01,279
let's do this for real. In fact, my best friend

236
00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:06,640
in the whole wide world. Brother, would you do me

237
00:20:06,759 --> 00:20:15,279
the honor of being my boyfriend? No, I don't have

238
00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:18,799
a ring, but I have a cheesecake and that's better

239
00:20:18,839 --> 00:20:27,400
than a ring if you ask me. Oh yay, I

240
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:32,880
now pronounce us boyfriend and girlfriend. You may now kiss

241
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:44,839
the dramatic emotional lady. I don't think that we're at

242
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:48,039
the outword yet. I think you'll let the work a

243
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:53,519
little harder for that, but I'll at least say that

244
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:59,240
I do, in fact adore you. Yeah, seriously, you're the

245
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,000
best thing that's up to me in a really long time.

246
00:21:03,279 --> 00:21:05,599
I forgot how nice it felt to have someone be

247
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,799
there for me, And you know what, I want to

248
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,920
prove that I'm taking our relationships seriously. So let's call

249
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,240
your sister and finally tell her about us. What do

250
00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:23,440
you say, Yeah, we have nothing to be afraid of.

251
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:29,400
No more walking on eggshells, right, Oh my gosh, I'm

252
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,599
actually a little nervous though. Let's just pretend that we

253
00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:36,680
haven't kissed yet. Okay, for her sake, Okay, No, you're right,

254
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,640
you're right. No more secrets, No more secrets. Oh the

255
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:47,480
faults here. The confession can wait. I need to eat asap,

256
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:56,160
or else I will literally cry. You are the best

257
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:01,079
boyfriend ever. H four
