(Barrel's POV)
The sun rises over the darkened city's building as Barrel walks into work to start his shift. He grabs a quick cup of coffee before starting to roam the streets, enforcing the law of Cladwells harsh rules. Atleast 2 hours later Lockstock enters work to start his shift aswell. He decided last night he would confront Barrel about his strange behavior for their sake and the sake of their lives. Barrel already set out on the streets of Urinetown. All lockstock needed to do is catch up with him.
After some searching around town and some amenities Lockstock finally found Barrel walking to the nearest amenity.
Good morning Mr. Barrel. If I could have a quick word with you? Lockstock breaks the silence between them
Good morning Mr. Lockstock! What seems to be the issue? Barrel replies as he turns around to look at Lockstock
Mr. Barrel, I need to ask you something. Please answer me with honesty. Lockstock said while putting his hands on Barrel's shoulders
Okay.. Barrel replied But what is this about? If I may ask. He questioned Lockstock out of curiosity.
Just answer the question for me. Please? Lockstock tightens the grip on Barrel's shoulder in anticipation.
Well, if you asked the question maybe I could answer it. Barrel replied
Lockstock sighed and loosens his grip eventually letting his arms drop to his sides
Do you swear to not laugh when I ask you this Mr. Barrel? Lockstock asked staring at Barrel intently.
I promise. Barrel replies almost immediately after Lockstock finished his sentence.
..
Lockstock cleared his throat and then finally spoke.
Are you in love with me Mr. Barrel?
Barrel makes intense eye contact with Lockstock and puts his hand on lockstocks shoulder.
..
Yes, I am Lockstock. He answers I love you very much.
Lockstock's eyes widen. I see. Well Mr. Barrel I have been thinking that I too may grow to love you as well, in time.
Barrel suddenly pulls Lockstock into a tight hug.
Lockstock gasps in surprise and returns the hug, putting his arms around Barrel.
Let's finish the day shift, Then come to my house. I believe we should spend some time together out of work. Lockstock said to after pulling away from their long hug.
They stare at each other for a little while until they both lean into each other's lips and they both share a passionate kiss. After a few minutes Lockstock pulls away from the kiss, staring in Barrels eyes.
I love you Mr. Lockstock. Barrel said as he gasped for air.
