We got bad blood. 🎡

Chapter 35 : Restart.

Build : You're the most important person in my life.

Bible : Do you look at if often ?

Build : Maybe ? Is it still far from here ?

Bible : Almost there. Are you tired ?

Build : Not at all. I just want to eat..

Bible : Don't worry, plenty food wait for you. Can I share something with you too ?

Build : Of course, it would be more fair for me.

Bible : I still have something from you too.

Build : Really ? What is it ? I didn't give you many gifts.

Bible : But you did. Do you remember that night which we had a date on an arcade room ?

Build : We played a lot of games there, right ? It was so fun.

Bible : Yes ! You were sulking when you lost, so I let you win a few games to make you happier.

Build : It was all my plan ! I knew you would let me win if I was sulked !

Bible : I can't believe you ! Anyways.. That night, you spent your money on that gripper machine until you got a plushie.

Build : I remember winning a plushie yes.

Bible : It's a cat plushie who can repeat a recorded phrase.

Build : I know I recorded something for you, but what was it ?

Bible : I love you.

Build : W... What...? Bible..

Bible : You recorded yourself saying "I love you", so when I press the button, I can hear you saying it.

Build : And you kept it after everything ?

Bible : Of course ! It's so precious ! When I'm down, listening to it makes me feel better like I can fight everything.

Build : We kept random things, yet so precious for each other to remember our love. Do you think we are dumb ?

Bible : Maybe too young to understand everything and not ready for the biggest love of our life. We were scared, good people, wrong time.

Build : Do you think we are now ? We are broken.

Bible : Broken each on his side but together we can rebuild, don't you think ? I want to give another chance to our love and this time to fight for it.

Build : You are stubborn.

Bible : Can I have one day your trust again ?

Build : I don't know. Maybe ? Maybe not ? Only time can tell.

Bible : I will do everything I can to make you believe in us again.

Bible stops Build as they reach a corner on a hill with flowers and a decorated table with lanterns around, they can watch the sea while eating. Build is surprised because he doesn't expect something like that from his ex boyfriend, it's not his style. A rustic dinner is more Build's taste, when he was an innocent great romantic, he still likes it even if he didn't think something like this would happen to him. He is not the main character of romance book where he would fall in love at first sight under the rain, he is not a dreamer anymore. Although, he can only recognize that he has not only done common things with Jeff. Miracle can happen.

Bible : Please, sit down here. And eat everything you want. Do you want wine or champagne ?

Build : Thank you. Champagne please.

Bible : Here, for you. And I have something for you too...

Build : Thank you. What is it ?

Bible : Don't laught at me.. I made it for you..

Build : Why are you so worried ?

Bible : Alright.. Here...

Build gets the gift from him, carefully he stares at the object, it's a cat carved in wood, he finds it cute. Actually, gifts like that are his favorite because he thinks it's more precious than jewelry or even clothes. The things that he says, can he believe it ? Is it life or just to play his worries away? He is all the things he has got to remember and to dream about. He can't deny his feelings, he can't betray his heart. He wants to trust him again. To put a bet over his life again ? The darkness doesn't scare him anymore, he experienced the light and the dark, he can fight for him if he is really serious. Giving his soul for the times when the world can be cruel and against them, he can be ready for that. He feels like taking a cold shower, he is the only one to blame to stop himself to be happy. Bible changed himself for him, them, yet he is scared because of the past to let him having a big place in his life again even if it makes him happier. He is deeply in his thoughts.

Bible : I'm sorry Build.. Why are you crying ? Did I say or do something wrong ?

Build : No.. Sorry.. I don't know myself why I am crying.. I'm weird haha..

Bible : Don't talk about yourself like that ! You're not weird ! Can I do something for you to make you feel better ?

Build : A hug ? Please ?

Bible : Of course !

Bible gets up from his chair to make his way towards Build who is on the other side of the table, he takes him in his arms making him get up from his chair, playing with his hair as he lets Build's face hide on his chest. He feels heartbroken and guilty to see him cry again, he knows that he doesn't like to be seen vulnerable. He stays like that as long he needs it to calm down.

Build : Can you promise me one thing ?

Bible : What is it ? I can do everything for you.

Build : To not break my heart ? It still needs to be fixed.. I'm a mess..

Bible : We will take our time, step by step, the way you want..

Build : But mostly.. I want us to be truly ourselves if we are dating..

Bible : No secret. Only ourselves together. I have an idea. But it's dumb I think..

Build : Tell me.

Bible : Let's pretend it's our first encounter and discover ourselves as it's the first time to be truly ourselves.. What do you think ?

Build : It sound like a good idea to me.

Bible lets go his lover from his arms, he bows in front of him before handing out his hand which makes laugh Build who does the same to get in his play too. They can't stop themself to laugh even if they try to be serious.

Bible : Hi ! Nice too meet, I'm Bible. I'm an architect, I was a bad guy and now, I worked on myself to be a better guy because I want to be the servant of my love, to give him everything he deserves.

Build : Hello, nice to meet you Bible. I'm Build. I'm a coffee shop owner, I was a naive man and now, I'm guy with requirements because I want to be treated like a king since I deserve it.

Bible : Then, I suggest we sit down to eat and talk about our lives, our dreams, our future plans, everything without taboo or judgement ?

Build : I like this idea, Bible.
